Now, for those who are not Cali natives, this is the Hollywood Bowl...


My grandmother would take my sister, my cousins and myself to shows at the Bowl. This shows were musicals, orchestra, jazz, etc. While there have been a Rock, R&B, and Soul shows their before, I can remember ANY Hip-Hop artist to ever perform at the Hollywood Bowl. I have to check into this.

Either way I could have never imagined Jay to play Hollywood Bowl!!! Plus Mary on the bill, that show is going to be live. We know they are going to do "Can't Knock The Hustle," but them doing "Song Cry" again? Damn. But wait, what about Mary on the hook to "Heart Of The City?" (Ric Flair Face). Wow.


And on that note... I'm out.
