Jay-Z “On to the Next” @ Bonnaroo + “Run This Town” w/ Kanye West

Life check: What did you do last weekend? If you were the, semi-disputed, best rapper alive, your schedule would have included flights to three cities on two continents, and one change of ‘showtime’ clothes between places.

On Friday, Jay-Z was in England at The Isle of Wight festival. In front of a massive crowd, he performed “Run This Town.” From the start, it was obvious Rihanna wasn’t coming out to croon the chorus, but Kanye West made a surprise appearance that drove everyone bonkers.

Kanye’s gonna do well with that Good Ass Job.

On Saturday, Jay-Z was back in the US, in Manchester, Tennessee, performing at the Bonnaroo music festival. In this clip he performs “On To the Next.” Wonder if he has another album in him?

That intro says it all..

Finally, on Sunday, Jay-Z was back in NYC for the Tony Awards. Switched it up to a tux, so relaxed you would never think he had just performed at two huge concerts.

Jay-Z hoped to pick up a few awards for Fela!, the play he co-produced with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Fela! was a winner, it came away with three statues. Truth be told, Bill T. Jones is the creative genius behind the whole thing.

I saw Fela 2x it really deserves a blurb of its own, but if you haven’t had the chance to see it, the time and cash is worth the experience.
