Going into this concert I already knew I would being heavily favoring one side of this tandem. If you didn't know, Jay-Z has been my favourite rapper for as long as I can remember (2. Nas, 3. Eminem FYI); even my blog moniker was contrived from classic words by Hov himself. So of course I went in knowing I'd be rocking a little bit harder 50% of the time..
Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Mr. Timberlake's work as well...just that there's a dedicated space for hip-hop in my heart and not so much for pop music. Incidentally, most of the JT songs that really resonate with me are the ones more so floating in the R&B genre than pop side. But in any case, The Legends of the Summer Tour kicked off in Toronto...

On a hot Wednesday night in the great city of Toronto, Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake kicked off their Legends of the Summer Tour. It was my first time at the Sky Dome for a concert and I was a little disappointed the roof wasn't open despite the clear skies. I chose to approach this concert with an as-long-as-I'm-in-the-building attitude and opted for the upper decks. Much of this decision was mainly based on the 50% set split with JT, but also I've always wondered what it'd be like to sit up top the massive stadium with the CN Tower over head. Despite an initial hit of vertigo the seats were just fine. The stage was vivid even from far away, although the acoustics suffered a bit.
