Come celebrate the return of Jay-Z with a thorough retrospective of his career on Wednesday the 22nd. I’ll be playing Jigga’s classics, remixes, guest spots, original samples, unreleased songs and more all night long next Wednesday at Bar Luxe. Come through and hear everything from alternate versions of classics like “Can’t Knock The Hustle”, “Feelin It” and “Dead Presidents” with different lyrics to remixes like the “A Million And One Questions” (DJ Premier Remix), 9th Wonder’s Black Album remixes and the Timbo remix of “Hey Papi” to unreleased songs from The Blueprint, The Black Album and more. Plus, we’ll be screening Jay-Z videos, Fade To Black, Streets Is Watching & more all night.

Anyways, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, so come out to Bar Luxe and check it out on 11/22 (there’s no work the next day either, it’s Thanksgiving). Also, print out the invite above for a free drink to help set things off. Brought to you by A Step Ahead Productions & The 400.

“Time’s most influential was impressive/especially since I wasn’t in the artist section”

October 30, 2006 / / No comments

I keep hearing cats talkin about Jigga fallin off. Personally I’m fine with “Show Me What You Got” (it’s as good of a lead single as “Change Clothes” and way better than “03 Bonnie & Clyde, his last two lead singles) and the other songs I’ve heard have been dope too. Anyways, between “Lost Ones” and these verses over Kanye’s “Grammy Family” beat from Funk Flex’s show (I guess he’s not quite as useless these days as I thought), even the haters should be quieted by now.

Approach is that dude. His live show is better than 99.9% of hip hop acts, trust.
