After B.o.B. and J. Cole opened the memorable night, Eminem took the stage to bring forth a very special reunion by inviting Dr. Dre, 50 Cent and the G-Unit to join him.
Hova’s set was nothing less impressive as he began with the “Dynastie Intro” thus commemorating the late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner. He continued the show by delivering “Run This Town” featuring VMAs-closer Kanye West who once again was dressed all in red. Both artists did not hesitate to perform their recent collaborations “Power”-Remix and “Monster”. For the latter, the duo was joined by Nicki Minaj who used this opportunity well by showcasing her live abilities. The Young Money-spirit continued as Jigga was joined by Drake to to perform “Miss Me” and “Light Up” live for the first time. Colplay’s Chris Martin accompanied him on “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love),” “Most Kings,” and “Viva La Vida” only to let Beyoncé to assist her husband closing the show by giving “Young Forever” to the masses. Much to the joy of the audience, which was just as star-studded with LeBron James, Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Naomi Campbell.
Jay-Z summarized the event adequately:
It’s one of the most unbelievable feelings in the world, being from New York and being in Yankee stadium. This is historic. There ain’t never gonna be another night like tonight.
