Hip Hop has become one of the most recognized and influential genres of modern pop culture, reaching massive fan bases and seeping its way into everyday life. Although gaining such success and acclaim, it hasn’t managed to pull in the same crowds as other genres in the live scene. Jay-Z is one act that continues to push the boundaries and reach new levels of success.
In a recent survey by Billboard Magazine that compiled the top 35 grossing shows of this year, The Blueprint 3 tour has made the list 8 times, getting to number 10 for one of his concerts, grossing $1,322,831.
Jay has always been a great live artist and has a very natural stage presence and his 360-deal with promoting giant Live Nation has played a big part in his live show success. You also have to give credit to his entire team who are tirelessly working on making his shows bigger and better.
