Jay-Z 1st Live in Seoul

For the last four years that I've lived in Seoul, I've lamented the fact that we don't get very many good concerts coming through, but for some reason this year has been an exception.

Metallica came in August and last night we went to see Jay-Z. It was an incredible concert and we had an amazing time!

Hova and Memphis Bleak blazed through about 30 Jay-Z tracks, all of which were incredible. He played all of his hits and even surprised me with some songs that I wasn't expecting to hear. The crowd was quite a mix of GIs, English teachers and Koreans of all shapes and sizes. The thing that always strikes me at concerts like this is just how many people know the lyrics to songs. Try to have a conversation with these same people and you'll be met with blank stares, but sing along to Jigga Who? Jigga What? and it's like a Coca-cola commercial. I guess rap really can save the world.....

Here's a photo.
