Jay-Z To Perform Reasonable Doubt Album Live
That's right! Jay-Z will perform Reasonable Doubt live at Radio City Music Hall. That's the whole album, folks, and tickets go on sale Friday, 9am EST via Ticketmaster. The concert happens June 25th and is described as a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the album's release.
What a great concept.
Update: SOHH New York has an interesting response* to Jay-Z's activities:
He
should be putting together a concert with some of the Def Jam artists
instead of thinking about himself. We know rap is his passion, but when
one has a position such as the one he possesses, when one has the power
and ability to push their artists into the New York hip-hoppers they
are perfectly capable of being, then they should take advantage of
that; that's what he was brought into the offices of Def Jam for in the
first place.

I know, man. I don't think any news came out till yesterday. I didn't check any newsfeeds till last night and I only saw it on Nah Right after I did my regular check at Billboard. AllHipHop totally missed it yesterday.
You know the scalpers were all over this.

I should note that as I focus more and more on marketing, ProHipHop won't be a good bet for breaking news like this.
