attendance at his sold-out KeyArena concert Saturday night can
attest to that fact. Hova, Young Hov, Jigga, Hovito, whatever you
call him Shawn Carter is on top of the rap game and there were no
signs of him stepping down any time soon during his career-spanning
two-hour show." Seattle Post Intelligencer (KeyArena Review),
October 19, 2009 "In a performance that had the feel of a stadium
show, thanks to the scope of the production and the magnitude of
the star on stage, Jay-Z did something remarkable during his encore
Friday night. Even more remarkable than the tight, full-band
renditions of stunners like 'Big Pimpin' and 'D.O.A. (Death of
Auto-Tune)' and more attention-getting than his flashy New York
City skyline backdrop. He made individual members of the audience
feel that they were as important as him, an entertainer with 11 No.
1 albums and an entrepreneur reportedly worth $150 million." The
Wilkes-Barre Times Leader (Penn State Review), October 14, 2009 The
current North American tour, a mix of 26 colleges and arenas, has
featured sold out dates including Pennsylvania State's Bryce
Center, UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, Northern Kentucky University's Bank
of Kentucky, Eastern Michigan University's Convocation Center, and
the University of Massachusetts' Mullins Center as well as, the
KeyArena in Seattle, Kelowna British Columbia's Prospera Place,
Philadelphia's Wachovia Center, Providence's Dunkin' Donuts Center
