Aging rapper Jay Z, who turns 43 on Dec. 4, fumbled the lyrics to two of his best-known songs during a one-man set Monday night, according to Yahoo Music. Jay Z’s live performance at the Amex Sync Show, which was live streamed from the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, was met with mixed reviews.
“The concert’s first half gave the impression of a man performing for a corporate-sponsored promo event. This was not the rapper’s finest 90 minutes,” wrote a The Guardian reporter, who watched the show online.
The Huffington Post noted that Jay Z forgot the lyrics to two of his songs, “Jigga What, Jigga Who” and his Grammy award winning “Empire State Of Mind.”
“The mixups, when paired with the crowd’s surprisingly tepid respond to such an intimate performance from one of music’s biggest stars made for somewhat disappointing set,” The Post critic wrote.
I see ya Jay! Nothing better than self love
Everyone is entitled to an off night.
He’s not perfect, he still puts on a good show..
I’ve never been disappointed, been 2 all the shows except WTT
oh okay
Ummm why the fuk is he still rapping go sit down GRANDPA!

That’s cause the 65+ people are the ones going to those rock concerts. Kiss performs at retirement homes and chit like that.
Plus, they remember their songs.

Hops on mic to do Amil’s (who works at the grocery store now) part of Jigga What…Jigga Who…
NUKKA WHAT…Nukka WHO?
NUKKA WHAT…Nukka WHO?
Spitcho flow, getcho dough
Can’t fugg with this Roc-a-Fella shyt tho.
That mighta been one of the hawtest beats Timbo EVA did.
Forgot his lyrics huh? Getting old is a summabish!
JayZ needs to have a read of that Andre3000 interview where he talks about not wanting to be like “an uncle” in the rap game. Oh and
at Baby Alive Lol Whoa!

Same for his wife who also “writes” songs.
Rockers play instruments, they use their voice. I rather go to an O Jays concert then see Jay Z. The old school rappers are actually better performers, some of them still dance
I dont like nor dislike Jay Z yall be getting me wrong when I post its my opinion not my personal feelings
IMO he should STFU and STFD

@Choco
IKR! I’ve been over having any interest in him on that level once I was out of college…
If people still paying to see me, best believe Imma be there performing!!
People forget their own lyrics all the time. Sht happens. Doug E Fresh still going around beatboxing and no has told him to have a seat.

@eastpointvet is a fan, Im a fan of his music especially his early records..
The rolling Stones still tour….. So does Sir Paul
how old is he anyway
————————————-
Who Paul? Prolly late 60’s…
Not only do the Rolling Stones still tour… Mick struts his azz around the stage the whole entire TIME like he still 30. They prop the old half dead heroin guy up (Keff Richards) and they do the dayum thing.

So nobody is going to petition for uncle jay to stop rapping but some people were so pressed for ll cool j to stopped. Basis much??!!
I dont get it… maybe the fact that its rap and most look at it as a young mans game they feel once you get at a certain age you should sit down.
BUT every damn year LL is at the essence festival and no one says a word… De La and The Beastie Boys tour and they are older than Jay… I cant call it.

Why they gotta be propping “Keff” up doe?
Let me clarify…just because I don’t want to pay to see Jigga doesn’t mean other folks may not want to…I just didn’t realize he was still sought after like that… but then again I typically don’t go to concerts anymore so…

The answer to this is because at THIS point these folks you named are old skool.
Its gonna be a minute til Shawn is consideredold skool since
A. He didn’t start rapping til he was 35 to begin with
B. He still putting out music.
Folks you named don’t have no current music.
They selling some cute French Connection on Hautelook. Yall need to get crunk so i can stay off these sites.
Well damn… Nice pic Mocha
@ FE – OOOOH NO! I’m sending my condolences ASAP!
for you and your fam!
What is a rapper supposed to do at a concert??
p*ssy pop.
If u like hip hop shows he’s one of the best, if its not ur thing u not gone get it.
@Igo, You going to funk fest
i’m sure he’ll keep on too because there seems to be a lot of folks that would like to hear him (from his 90s stuff too) than go see the newer hippity hop artists

This post is about Jay-Z. Who did not start rapping til he was in his mid 30’s anyway. Well he forgot the lyrics to his own songs. Which we all know he prolly didn’t write noway. Some folks telling him to sat his 50 yo azz down. Others are saying if folks paying he still need to be up there. Personally…I thank his old azz is the reason lil Green Sumac might have SORAS.
Folks started tambout old folks who still perform.
LL Cool J
New Edition
Rolling Stones who so dayum old they all look like Head Stones now…
@His kicked @Man in the groin. She said his dack but we all know its only an inch.
