Jaÿ-Z turned Yankee Stadium into hip-hop's biggest stage this past weekend by celebrating three decades of his legendary career with three back-to-back nights of music and special guests.
Before the first show fully kicked off last Friday (July 10), Jaÿ played a video showing his wife Beyoncé cutting his hair while he was seated in the stadium's stands, bringing his classic low-cut Caesar back. The entire show paid homage to the 30-year anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.
While performing the classic LP in full, Hov had some help with special guests including Bey, who opened the show by performing Mary J. Blige's part on "Can't Knock The Hustle." He was later joined by Nas for "Dead Presidents" and a medley of other songs, before Hov and Bey's first-born Blue Ivy hit the stage to play the piano for "Feelin' It." Memphis Bleek and Jaz-O also hit the stage, with Alicia Keys coming out toward the end for an encore to perform "Empire State of Mind."
