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

[tremonthustler1]

For the Super Bowl? It's about spectacle and that hasn't been Jay-Z's strong area for live performances.

the thing is, a great Jay-Z show usually means he brings A LOT of guests with him. Any time he ever does big time concerts, yeah he does his thing, but there will be parts where he runs off guest after guest. I remember his show at Yankee Stadium and the only 2 people that weren't there the night I went were Rihanna and Lil Wayne (because he was in jail). Everyone else popped up.

The Superbowl is at a point where they're realizing that we don't have the star power we used to have. The mega stars are either old, dead, washed, or been used for this show. They could go with Taylor Swift (which in all seriousness could be the only choice they have). Besides that, options are limited.

one of hiphops greatest performers aint a showman?

No, jay z ain't fukking with the production value of entertainers like beyonce, Madonna, Michael, pink, Janet, gaga, etc. Swear some of y'all need to stop dikkriding everything about rap, rap performances pale in comparison to real showmanship

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.

the fact you got Michael in the same sentence with some of those artist just goes to show you obviously are confused about what a good performance is

this the bullshyt you soooo entertained by?


maybe yall need to stop dikkriding everything else....if you wanna see Pink swinging on strings in the air for the thousanth time,thats you.

performance is about good music,how about you respect the music and the energy ,and the story Jayz tells when he performs instead of looking at pyro and a hundred dancers on stage like that makes you a big shot as a performer

yall dont know what the fukk yall talking about man.

Jayz is one of those "few" acts,where did anybody say any ol body should be performing.

even though I would add,half the acts that perform aint on shyt either.....do yall believe they coudlnt make a flashy performance for rappers if they invested a million dollars into they show,or however much they put into these half time shows....obviously doesnt take much to entertain yall,some expensive fireworks,stuntman wires,outfit changes,and the audience holding some p*ssy ass candles should do the trick

I'm a big Jay fan and have seen him perform at various points of his career but what would he perform at the super bowl of all places
You know damn well the white folks not trying to hear no damn 4:44 or the story of OJ
hell the game is Minnesota right so he can't even hit like his most universal track Welcome to New York
He might hit money cash hoe though

these lame ass haters man.

So werd? You would rather the usual garbage pop acts like Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande perform ahead of Jay? Because the usual shyt artist they get to perform is such a showman right, but Hov ain't?

These dudes ALWAYS expose themselves.

That's where you're wrong. They're not specifically trying to impress YOU. They wanna impress EVERYBODY.


They always try to land acts that you'd have to live under a rock to not know.


@ needing expensive fireworks and stuntmen so Future can mumble off to the side of the stage about Actavis wearing a fedora while paid extras yell and wave glow sticks.

he could perform the hits like Big Pimpin,99 Problems,PSA,nikkas In Paris,Hard Knock Life.

or his classic B-side shyt that forces the artform to be respected,obviously not even hiphop fans respect it.

we dont know or care about half the songs that get performed at superbowls by random cacs of the moment,yet we on a hiphop board and actually got hiphop fans questioning whether Jay could tear it down. Plus he's Jay,the audience would be hanging on his every word no matter what he performs,do nikkas not under stand who Jay is?

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

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

I would go with this..

he's not gonna dance.. lol

He can do this kind of show, but he's not doing this show so moot point.

That said, the Super Bowl is not the place where you break out the album cuts. They want the hits. They want the billions of people at home to be able to sing along.

Hov so real.

This just adds to his legend honestly.

Who turns down the SUPER BOWL?

He just won the #BoycottNFL sweepstakes with this one

 

[mozichrome]

Not like I hold super bowl performances as must watch

Most of time during halftime I'm trying to secure my food and doing other shiit

You and every nikka that dapped this never saw Jay live from decent seats.

This is straight up WRONG.

It's not exactly uncommon to do this.
