Jay-Z & Eminem Rock The Ed Sullivan Theatre Roof Posted: Tuesday - June 22, 2010 | Comments (0)
Jay-Z finally made it! He managed to shock the crowd and have a surprise concert, after the one planned for last week was cancelled due to the news leaking. Hov decided to cancel the previous one because of security issues related to the enormous number of people who would have gone to the free concert once the news was known.
Jay’s concerns with overcrowding derived from the chaos created by over 10,000 fans at rap sensation Drake’s free concert. The Young Money MC had to cancel his concert as well, originally scheduled for June 15th, due to security-related issues.
Last night though (June 21), Jay-Z was not the only one to surprise his fans. Eminem was also on the roof of the building that hosts the Late Show with David Letterman. Both entertained few selected fans, who had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of attending Jay and Shady’s concert for free. The fans actually won the tickets on a contest on Twitter and Facebook, while few of them were picked from the excited crowd standing outside of the building.
Together, Jay and Eminem performed Renegade, while Jay rocked the building with Empire State Of Mind, On To The Next One and Can’t Knock The Hustle on his own. At the end, the two rappers, along with Diddy, who also attended the concert, left the building together in front of a very surprised crowd.
