Jay Z restore the powerful Webster Hall last night in New York City. He kicked off the grand opening with a B-Sides 2 concert. The Tidal X: Jay Z B-Sides or “B-Sides 2” performance featured arguably the greatest rapper of all time reminding us that lyrics, bar, and wordsmiths still are appreciated in hip hop.

There was a huge Rocafella chain floating from the ceiling and Nas stopped by to join Hov on stage. Hov also brought out Jim Jones and Cam’Ron. Hopefully we can see a Dame Dash and Jay-Z reunion in the near future. The BILLIONAIRE FROM MARCY also did a Nipsey Hussle tribute with his famous B-Sides freestyle.

Back in 2013, the late Nipsey Hussle dropped his album Crenshaw, a record that he sold for $100 a piece at a pop-up shop in Los Angeles. Nipsey later explained to MTV that Jay Z purchased 100 copies because he “respects the movement.”

“I got a DM on Twitter from a respected hip-hop journalist and he was just like, ‘Hov respects the move, salute,’ ” Nipsey said back then. “A little while later, I got an email that came through my team that was like, ‘Roc Nation, on behalf of Jay Z wants to buy 100 units. Who do we pay? When can we get the shipment out?’

“They sent us $10,000, we sent them 100 CDs,” Nipsey added. “I didn’t get a chance to holla at Jay, but through his people, he made it clear that he respects the movement and everything. I was humbled by it. I felt like it was a good risk, and it ended up working out.”
