Jay-Z: Fade to Black (DVD) - New!!!

Jay-Z: Fade to Black DVD A concert film featuring footage from the sold-out, Nov. 25, 2003 Madison Square Garden performance of rap star Jay-Z and guests. Fade to Black is a document of Jay-Z?s self-proclaimed final concert; a grand affair that took place before a sold-out crowd at New York?s Madison Square Garden in November 2003. (But anyone who follows celebrity news knows that Jay-Z was out of retirement and back performing at the Garden just a year later.) Fade to Black is a legitimately powerful record of a truly historic event in the annals of rap. Muttering offhand narration with typical bored, streetwise affect, Jay hails the concert as a momentous occasion for being the first time a hip-hop show was allowed to headline at the Garden. It?s unlikely that the full impact of the live performances will hit home to viewers unfamiliar with Jay-Z and his Roc-A-Fella Records stable of artists. Another frustration is trying to identify the array of visitors who trade raps on Jay?s stage. Included in the star-studded lineup are Missy Elliott, Foxy Brown, Pharell, Ghostface Killah, Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek, and R. Kelly. One unmistakable figure--and we do mean figure--is Jay?s squeeze Beyonce, who raises the temperature and the roof with her skimpy outfit, flowing hair, soulful yowl, and sexed-up dance routine that leaves her boyfriend and the whole of Madison Square Garden slack-jawed with animal desire. Twenty cameras captured the event, and some of the most powerful sequences are sweeping moves across the swirling, blissed-out masses as they lip sync along in perfect unison with Jay-Z?s complex, profane, quick-witted raps... **Please don't choose the $2.00 shipping option for your 1st purchase. ***The $3.99 shipping option does not have a tracking number.
