PHILADELPHIA — Hip-hop's ambassador, Jay-Z, successfully launched his first-ever Made In America Festival on Saturday (September 1) in Philly, delivering on his promise to put on a buzzed-about show. Serving as the bill's closer on day 1, King Hov flexed his executive power, sharing the stage with his Throne partner, Kanye West and 'Ye's G.O.O.D. Music family, as well as his Roc-A-Fella homeys Memphis Bleek, Freeway, the Young Gunz, Swizz Beatz and ... President Barack Obama (seriously, the POTUS turned up).

The much-anticipated concert unfolded in the downtown area of the city of Brotherly Love, giving fans a day of musical performances from a range of acts that included Janelle Monae, soul singer D'Angelo, Skrillex and Jay Electronica. Day two kicks off on Sunday with another unforgettable lineup that includes Drake and Pearl Jam.

That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
