JAY-Z TURNS DOWN OFFER TO PERFORM AT 2018 SUPER BOWL

[Kool]

A jay z stage show would be underwhelming. They need a showman. Jay isn't a showman.

This.

IMO... Jay Z as a artist and performer is not on that "Super Bowl" halftime show level. What that nikka gone do... stand in the middle of the stage and rap "Hard knock life". lol

There's a reason why huge venues don't do hip hop unless the whole industry is pretty much there save for a couple of acts here and there.

Huge venues do hip hop all the time what the fukk are you talking about

Jay Z not performing for less than tens of thousands

 

[gho3st]

Kanye a fool man

Props to HOV.

i didnt quote you nor say you directly, so why you take it as such?...also, you werent the only one talking about his showman skills....my comment was in general to a lot of the comments in the thread about it....

as for the last part: naw, not writing people's exposure off cause it doesnt align with mine...i'm writing it off cause it wasnt true lol....and some of the negative comments about his stage show just werent true...

...but i got you, i'm go back and see what you said and respond to it directly....

Don't argue with her. She has some of the most dumb ass lipstick alley ass opinions on here. This broad just said being a good performer and being a good showman are different on some stupid semantics shyt because according to her you have to jump off a stage like gaga or breakdsncd to be a good performer. That's literally all her opinion breaks down to. Why would anyone take that sort of opinion seriously? By her logic most rock groups suck at performing. By her definition any non pop or r and b is incapable of putting on a show. She sounds fukking ridiculous. The type of hate Jay brings online is remarkable. I don't even like Drake but him Jay and like 3 others get remarkable hate online. But a nikka seriously said Drake who couldn't even perform well on Ellen would do a better super bowl show.

i've been to many of the artists you saying that put on better shows than jay, and some i agree, some i dont....but it doesnt matter cause it's all opinion....

the part i'll comment on is you saying music isnt part of the performance....that isnt true...music is very much part of the performance cause that's the main reason you go to a concert...yea, the other shyt is nice, but if you dont enjoy the music, you not gonna go just for the other shyt...where as, if you enjoy the music, you'd be more willing to go even if the person doesnt do the other shyt....

A good performance doesn't hinge on good music...or even music you enjoy. I've been to plenty of concerts/festivals where the performance was amazing even tho I didn't enjoy the music/thought the music was bad. music and performance can be easily separated from one another, yes, people's favorite shows are where the two coalesce but each can be graded alone.

Edit: music isn't the sole reason everyone goes to a concert, I've gone to plenty of concerts to see the person perform live even tho I didn't enjoy the current album they were touring, madonna's MDNA tour is a prime example for me.

Jay-Z boring ass performances would have bombed. He knew that so he denied to take the spot. But hopefully he does spin this as a boycott of the NFL for the treatment of Colin Kaepernick.

 

[Calmye]

one of hiphops greatest performers aint a showman?

who has ever called Jay Z this

 

[Dre Space Age]

Let M.I.A. do it so everyone can be both equally entertained and offended at the same time. Love her.

Read the first post I made in this thread. I'm not talking about Jay-Z.

Only a few in acts in general can hold down a venue that big largely by themselves.

i didnt say a performance hinged on the music, i said it's apart of the performance...dancing, the stage setup, props, the music, etc. are all sums that help make up the performance whole....they arent separate entities like you're trying to say.....one (music), along with other things helps make the other (performance)....true, you can enjoy different parts of the whole, while not enjoying the whole, like you said you did at festivals...

i didnt say music was the sole reason people go to a concert, i said it's the main reason....meaning while there are other reasons to go, you mainly go for the music & experience to hear that music done live by said artist.......you said you went to see madonna just to see her even though you didnt enjoy the current album she had.....well, i bet you enjoyed other music she had, so you probably wanted to see her perform those songs live, just for the experience right?....there you go, prime example of what i'm talking about....i've done that for established artists.....i might not have been feeling the current album, but i went cause of old music i knew they'd perform just so i could see them perform it live for the experience....

Not a single lie told.

I stood for the whole show, but I can't get the image out of my head of turning around during Kanye's solo part when he was standing on that box.

I turned around and 40-50% of the people I could see were sitting down. I felt like an idiot because I was literally the only person in my row still standing. Kanye's part was damn near an intermission. Nobody sat during Jay's solo medley.

This isn't to say that a Kanye SB show wouldn't be tailored to get the crowd amped up, but I was with a girl who didn't know Jay's solo shyt like that and she was still standing during "Where I'm From" and she didn't even know the shyt.

Jay is a showman.

Point blank period.

I swear the same thing happened at the Watch The Throne show I was at. Cats were literally getting bored of him up there talking about Amber or whoever and performing slow shyt from 808s. Jay had that bytch rocking the whole time for his solo set.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

I thought they were gonna have the white boy Timberlake do it with jay.
