Jay-Z, Alicia Keys To Perform At World Series' Opening Game

by MrWhiteFolks on October 26th, 2009

 

Jay-Z confirmed to MTV today that he and Alicia Keys will perform at game one of the World Series on Wednesday at the new Yankee Stadium before the first pitch is thrown.

"First of all, the new [Yankee] Stadium — it's the Yankees and it's game one of the World Series. I'm beyond excited about it, and on top of that, it's a New York record. It's a record that pays homage to New York. The timing of that couldn't be better,"

All along Jay knew he was going to perform before the World Series, he was just waiting on the Yankees to wrap up the series with the LA Angels.

"The whole time we knew we had the performance. We knew we had the performance last week. I think it was 3-1 [in favor of the Yankees] at the time. [The Yankees] lost that game to make it 3-2. I was like, 'Man!' I had to come in [the stadium] with the stage and all that. I was like, 'Man, these guys gotta come on.' It was almost selfish."

-I wouldn’t be shocked if he was the first rapper to do the Superbowl.

-even though I’m not a baseball fan(unless a Florida teams makes the playoffs)i’ll watch the game first couple minutes just to see the performance.Jay-z is ill with it.

^^ this nigga.smh
Hate all you want. This nigga Jay makes monumental moves that have yet to be acomplished by whoever your favorite rapper is.So all your hate don’t change a damn thing.You just keep listening to all his acomplishments everyday while your favorite rapper drowns in debt tryna stay afloat.lol
Sidenote:
The funny thing is how you took down your avatar and somehow became a lil more relevant to folks. i don’t know how that is?(scratching my head) I guess if it works…..

“Philly’s hot rock fellas, put you in a dry spot, fellas

You no mustache havin, with whiskers like a rat
Compared to Beans you wack!”
