Jay-Z performing "Empire State of Mind"

If you didn’t make it to the Jay-Z Blueprint 3 concert at the Mellon Arena on Tuesday, you pretty much could have followed the entire show on Twitter. Trey Songz was the opening act – followed by the star of the show, Jay-Z w/ Memphis Bleek and Young Jeezy. The night couldn’t have been better. The live music was simply amazing, especially the guy on the soprano sax. Even the backgrounds were designed to perfection!

Whether you’re a fan of rap music or not, you would’ve received a wealth of entertainment value out of this concert. Which is exactly why it was  interesting that so many people were texting on their phones during the performance. How many people left the show wishing they spent more time watching than tweeting? Haha, blame DJ Bonics, because he got everyone to tweet him song requests while Trey Songz was preparing to hit the stage.

In the words of Jigga:

I heard they call it Sixburgh

R&B singer Trey Songz was the first act. Girls were losing their minds at this point.

Pittsburgh LOVES Young Jeezy, the crowd went nuts when he came out.
