Jay-Z performed last night at Manhattan’s Blender Theater. He told the crowd that he’s set to do 45 minutes but then says it’s going to be more like an hour and 15 minutes. After an hour and a half, NYFD rushed in and sounded the fire alarm in the middle of Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek performing.
Jay-Z:
You, homeboy, sitting on the steps. This ain’t a poetry reading. You f—ed my vibe up. All these great people came here to party.
NEW YORK — Jay-Z set the stage on fire Wednesday night at Manhattan’s Blender Theater (figuratively speaking, of course). But that didn’t stop local fire officials from barging into the venue as the rapper’s scheduled 45-minute set extended just past an hour.
Hov, however, gave the crowd at the MySpace/ “DJ Hero”-sponsored event fair warning. After running through hits like “Show Me What You Got,” “I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)” and “Izzo (H.O.V.A.),” Jay-Z said he was just getting started.
“They told me to give y’all 45 minutes,” he said from the stage, clad in all black except for three red stripes on his shirt sleeve signifying his new album, The Blueprint 3. “I think I’mma go an hour and 15. I need more time for my records.”
Close to half an hour later, however, the music abruptly stopped while Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek were performing “You, Me, Him and Her.” Then fire alarms sounded and FDNY officials entered the venue. The Brooklyn rapper didn’t appear happy by the delay as he wiped his face amid chants of “Hova.”
Fortunately, the officials exited after just minutes.
Jay-Z then launched into his “A Billi” freestyle before DJ Neil Armstrong cued “Can I Get a…,” getting the crowd bouncing.
Executives including Bad Boy President Harve Pierre were in attendance. Downstairs in the venue’s lower level, MySpace fans who scored tickets were able to try out “DJ Hero,” the upcoming hip-hop-inspired video game spun off from the “Guitar Hero” series. But the real entertainment was upstairs onstage.
Jay-Z entered to “Run This Town” and quickly went into “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)” and “U Don’t Know.” He might have been decked out in all black, but his mood was festive and light. He set the tone early when he stopped the music and addressed the audience.
“You, homeboy, sitting on the steps,” he said. “This ain’t a poetry reading. You f—ed my vibe up. All these great people came here to party.”

Um Bossip if you’re referring to the fire dept. it’s the FDNY. The po po is the NYPD! Get it right man!
Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
9/10/09, 14:49:pm
@Russ -You youngins kill me with the he’s too old to be rappin *****. So riddle me this! If a rapper is say 16 y.o. what kind of knowledge can he kick to a 29y.o.? (answer) bubblegum rap. JZ, Common, KRS 1, The Game all have enough expierence and wisdom to actually spit more than a nice beat. The lyrics would be above your head because you are still wet behind the ears. You still have stains in your underwear, your nose is running, you forgot to change your socks(for 3 days)Oh and you forgot to brush your teeth and comb your hair befor you left the house. GTFOH YOUNGIN! Give me JZ over Soldier Boy any day. The rest of you *****’s need to Fade to Black.

[...] Garden – and they were right. He pulled out the hits, but had no special guest appearances. The vibe just wasn’t there. He even knew it: Jay-Z: You, homeboy, sitting on the steps. This ain’t a poetry reading. You f—ed my vibe up. [...]

do you hate jayz because he came from the PJ’s and rapped his way out of the ghetto? why hate the most successful person to come from a broke ghetto music genre? The dude has done nothing but had all yall haterz shaking yall ***** for damn near 10 summers. Yall should be proud of jayz for real. He is showing all of yall how to handle your bizness and make money. crab in the bucket **********kers. he is 40 so what, the man can still perform on stage better than lil wayne and Drake.

I can’t stand this camel lookin *****. I wished someone would put a bullet in his ***** and shut him down. He only gained world fame when he started banging that ho Beyonce. If she was smart and left him he would fall off the face of the earth. Hova my *****in *****. More like Lucifer.

@***** Joe Camel>>>I feel you. I don’t understand why so many people jock this arrogant ***** hole. His music is senseless, and his dumb ***** wife can’t even hold a decent conversation. I guess this is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil. He gives you the riches of this world, but it’s only Temporary. He and his wife are so freaking dumb, and there success will not last for long. NOT HATING, JUST TELLING THE TRUTH. OH AND BY THE WAY, HE DEFINITELY ISNT THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE. THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE EVER TOLD!!!

How the ***** is it okay for a grown man to brag about what another man has??? HIS money and HIS fat weave wearin’ DEEP SOUTH chick as you call them and not 1 referance to his music in that statement???
GET THE ***** OUTTA HERE WITH THAT *****??? A ***** don’t even show any shame about it!!!! Just out there with 2 Jay-Z pom poms in his hands 24/7!!!

I am just saying. If you want to call yourself the greatest rapper. And be held the King of rap….stop contradicting yourself with your own lyrics.
Stop believing in the hype and open your eyes. Just another another “rapper” trying to sale records to the sheeples.
Besides how many times do you have to go in and out of retirement to claim your worthiness to the rap game. O_o
Jordan = EPIC FAIL
Farve = EPIC FAIL
Jay-Z = EPIC FAIL

9/14/09, 16:14:pm
imma go with hottestchick on that. Seriously? Only 13 years? Ni66a some businesses lifetimes are not even 13 years albeit different era in terms of money value and such but 13 years isnt short by far…you could have at least 2 careers in 13 years. Dont like Jay but wont hate on him either, he doin his thang but everything i’d say ok too xcept the 13 years…that is mad long. If he took 13 years and would have failed, it aint never gon happen after that. 5-6 years, you are eligible for a 2nd chance. Beyonce is bleh
