Jay-Z Kicks Off Barclays Concerts In Brooklyn: A Live Blog

[NelsonG]

The moment has finally arrived. Jay-Z is helping to launch Brooklyn's new Barclays Center with a series of 8 concerts and on Friday night (September 28) Hov gets the party started with his first show. RapFix will be live-blogging and tweeting from the show, so stick with us for details if you can't make it out tonight.

Earlier this week Jay told MTV News that he was hoping to make Brooklyn proud. "I really hope it's just a celebration," he said. "Pretty much all the concerts are loud and sing-a-longs, but I hope that this is a special thing. It's pretty much a celebration of having a team in Brooklyn — you know, again, everybody knows we hadn't had a team since the Dodgers, so it's really a happy time in Brooklyn."
