“Jay-Z is the greatest rapper alive. Anyone who was in attendance at his
sold-out KeyArena concert Saturday night can attest to that fact. Hova, Young
Hov, Jigga, Hovito, whatever you call him Shawn Carter is on top of the rap
game and there were no signs of him stepping down any time soon during his
career-spanning two-hour show.”
Seattle Post Intelligencer (KeyArena Review), October 19, 2009
“In a performance that had the feel of a stadium show, thanks to the scope of
the production and the magnitude of the star on stage, Jay-Z did something
remarkable during his encore Friday night. Even more remarkable than the
tight, full-band renditions of stunners like ‘Big Pimpin’ and ‘D.O.A. (Death
of Auto-Tune)’ and more attention-getting than his flashy New York City
skyline backdrop. He made individual members of the audience feel that they
were as important as him, an entertainer with 11 No. 1 albums and an
entrepreneur reportedly worth $150 million.” The Wilkes-Barre Times Leader
(Penn State Review), October 14, 2009
