Hearing a bunch of stuff from an album I haven't even heard yet is not something I'm looking forward to--especially when their most recent material has not been that good. Everything Jay has put out after BP has been mediocre and mostly successful of his branding and marketing. I'm imagining that if they're charging more than most big pop acts that they must have something bigger in store than just the typical walk around lazily while rapping routine.

Word?  The Black Album and American Gangster were mediocre, huh?

Although it is a WTT concert you can't just automatically assume that they're not going to do some of their older songs. It was rumored that this concert is supposed to be 4 hours long. And it IS Jay and Kanye after all.......

Why are you here if you don't like the music? There are other acts that might interest you more, listen to them instead of whining about Jay/Ye. You gave your opinion, now quit derailing the thread.

The concert is a mix of past material from their respective catalogues and new stuff from the album. I'd think it would work best in a soundclash type of format, but that's just me.

American Gangster and Black Album were mediocre, yes. Black Album being the better of the two. If it's really four hours of their best stuff though, I could see the show being incredible. Sorry for derailing the thread from the unconscious slurpage of anything Roc affiliated.

First time I've ever ever heard someone say The Black Album was mediocre.
Different strokes for different folks I suppose. 
Some of you guys need to relax though.

Dear Jay-Z and Kanye West,

Independent record stores serve our communities. Our passion is music, and
we convey this to the millions of customers who come to our stores. That's
what we do.

Four years ago independent music stores across the country banded together
to create Record Store Day. Our goal was to counter the negative media
coverage about the supposed demise of record stores brought on by the
closing of the Tower stores and to respond to the music business practices
that fans deemed to be manipulative and onerous.

We reached out to the artist community to see if they would join us, and the
response was overwhelming with words of support coming in from Paul
McCartney, Erykah Badu, Tom Waits, Chuck D, the Foo Fighters and countless
others. Working with their label partners, many of these musicians created
limited edition works of art, including vinyl and CDs made especially for
music specialty retail. Hundreds of these artists took the opportunity to
perform, DJ, and interact with their fans in our record stores. Here in the
US, Record Store Day lifted the entire music business by 8% and contributed
to the growth in music sales. Record Store Day is now one of the biggest
music events in history with millions of people participating worldwide. We
also continue to work throughout the year with labels, artists and managers
and run regular promotions via physical independent retail and
recordstoreday.com.

We are responding to the bad news that your new album will not be available
to independent record stores until after iTunes gets a window of
exclusivity. We also learned that the deluxe version (which is what the true
music fans who shop our stores will want by an overwhelming majority) will
only be available at Best Buy exclusively for a period of time. We believe
this is a short-sighted strategy, and that your decisions will be doing
great damage to over 1,700 independent record stores -- stores that have
supported you and your music for years.

We know that you are busy, and that you put most of your energies into
creating great music, but we are writing to you in the hope that you will
hear us and take the time to rectify this matter. As representatives of the
independent record store music community, we are asking you to allow record
stores and music fans equal access to your new album.

Jay-Z doesn't care about those people one bit. Not to say that those people aren't right in their stance, but dude only speaks in dollars.

TBA and AG mediocre?!

BP3 was pretty bad, but those two albums are great albums. Realrubirosa, if you are expecting anything from Jay that isn't a hit single, you'll be going to the wrong concert. Yes, he does 'U Don't Know', but that has a cult following. Everything he does is old singles and current music, so don't waste your money if you're not going to get what you want. Both of them are going to tour again, within the next two or three years, and for a cheaper price, so you should just wait ...
