"Jay-Z is the greatest rapper alive. Anyone who was in 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 and Baltimore's 1st Mariner Arena.
