RANDOM PICS: JAY-Z & ALICIA KEYS PERFORM DURING GAME 2 + VIDEO
Friday, October 30, 2009

Rapper Jay-Z and recording artist Alicia Keys performed in front of the sell-out crowd at Yankee Stadium with a rendition of the Big Apple anthem “Empire State of Mind” on Thursday night. I guess they got the whole place amped because the Yankees beat the Phillies in Game 2. Peep video of the performance below.

And shame on Swizz for letting his woman dress like that.

You guys are silly. They just finished a performance so of course they’re going to be all happy with eachother. What do you expect him to do hug her and walk away? Or just stand there not smiling? Uhh no.
And lol yeah they did say they were “Off” Timbs .. lol maybe they’re not really Timbs .. maybe their ‘Lugz’ ..
Still loove Jay-Z!

I think the two of them teamed up together is tight. The color of the boots throw everything off. There is nothing wrong with matching things up but the pink boots are to much. She is getting very thick in thunder thighish, damn I just made up a word. lmao. New York state of mind I guess.

I see a lot of people are calling her a “homewrecker” and all that. People always quick to go after the female, hell what about Swiss???? He the one that was married not Alicia, and according to the bible he is all the way WRONG!!! I hate women that want to go after the mistress and then let the damn husband have it easy, or get back with them after they have cheated….THE MAN IS JUST AS WRONG IF NOT WORSE!!!! He knew what he was doing, Alicia ain’t put no gun to his head!!!
I got to comment on this cheap, Rainbow store outfit she is rockin!!! WTF was she thinking about? It looks cheap and all over the place, come on Alicia? She should’ve did black boots and a black motorcycle leather jacket I would’ve preferred that, anything but the Pepto Bismol fit!!! You look a HAM Alicia……

Alicia for the 100th TIME is not any Home wrecker.
SWIZZ was over his MARRIAGE and in Divorce Proceedings before he started TALKING to Alicia Keys.
You Zombies type the SAME BS all the time because you can’t STAND Strong Empowered Women. And it’s interesting it’s mostly other Women making these Silly comments because they are Jealous that Alicia is beautiful and Talented. People can’t stand it. It’s always the insecure women who side with Swizz’s Lazy wife who only put Alicia’s name into this because she wants to use that to get more money from Swizz and to sell a new BOOK.
Typical LAZY people who can’t stand other successful women.
Rihanna and Alicia are A OK and don’t mind what HATERS say on BLOGS.
Now Alicia girl those pink books are a hot mess.
But I love ya Girl!

@ 31 You may have a point that some comments are made out of jealousy, but she shouldn’t get a pass just because she’s Alicia Keys…Dude is not divorced yet and they weren’t divorced when they starting going together so that makes them both adulterers plain and simple just like your boy Kells is a pedophile. There’s no sugar coating that. You just have to separate the artist from the person because they are tremendously talented, but human just like everybody else. At the end of the day it is what it is. When you ask for fame, ridicule and judgment along with no privacy is also what you ask for. Exactly why TI say he’d rather have the money than the fame. It’ll ruin you if you’re not careful maybe even be the death of you. Alicia gets most of the slack because she’s more in front than Swizz. He’s good at what he do, but her star status is bigger. Going after the mistress has always been prevalent in society (nothing new about that), but they are both to blame and the husband is more to blame because he’s the one that made the commitment not the other woman. It’s a messy situation for all parties involved.

@ 36 Cublktigress
Are you nuts? How are you putting Alicia Keys in the same sentence as R. Kelly.
If a person is in DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS. You don’t have to wait for that to be OVER before you look into other relationships. This is 2009. And if people mutually decide that the relationship if OVER and hire a Lawyer and move forward with a divorce then it’s not Adultery. These are grown ups. Swizz’s wife however is very insecure. She had no LIFE outside of her husband’s success and to see him looking towards Alicia must have thrown her over the deep end. And she made the choice to try and throw Alicia’s name into this via Twitter. This type of actions should be against the law because this is smearing someone’s name. I would never give Alicia a pass if she was cheating with a married man. But Alicia has shows us over the years where she stands in terms of her moral character. She has done more for women’s issues with her music than most who only sing about things that lower women’s self esteem. Stop passing judgment on a situation you half understand. Alicia’s work in the past should assure you of her MORAL character. Swizz’s wife is your typical lazy woman who put everything behind a man and she now discovered that her life is not what she thought it was now that he wants OUT. If she listened to Alicia’s music more she would have been inspired to do more for herself and been strong enough to handle that the relationship was OVER and not behaved like some child with a Twitter Account trying to pull Alicia into her personal Drama. It’s so typical to attack the new woman than to take responsibility for her relationship with the man who made vows to you.

I LOVE ALL THE HATE IN THIS POST. People come in here to watch the video, then criticize as they sit at there cubicles at work, WISHING they had the opportunity to do what AK or Hov has done. I seen comment on AK bi-racial heritage..this sht is all laughable. More importantly, you say all this as you SPECTATE!
Appreciate it for the moment and/or move on. No other ARTISTS in any genre has performed as part of the Fall Classic. Half time shows at football and basketball game are one thing, but MLB is known for being a lot more stringent when it come to these type of things. So Hov & AK just went down in the annals of history!
Jay is the best EVER and this is coming from a die-hard 2Pac fan. No other Hip-Hop artist has pushed the perimeters of the culture more than Jay. Yeah, yeah, I know you’ll have the PE’s and BDP and Rakim, etc. debates. But if you had to pic ONE ambassador of the culture in terms of everything is it, the good, bad, indifferent, commerce, message and music…its Jay-Z. He embodies ALL this all while making Hip-Hop become more Adult AC formatted at radio. Talking about issues relevant to his current lifestyle sprinkled with a bit of his past. He’s surpassed the bang, bang/murder, murder some artist can’t get past.
Me being a NY’er I have no bias behind my statement, its just the truth of the matter. This song is good for this reason alone, Jay is stating what HIS NY is without saying or putting down other areas/locations of the country.
Enjoy the best while he’s doing it!
Stay up y’all!

QUESTION TO THE HATERS:
What does a person’s age have to do with the quality of their music. I can’t believe that there are so many men judging a man and all they have to say is Jay is too old? Just pitiful replies…

@ Furious Styles
Well, what’s the difference wrong is wrong. I’m just making an example. Society standards have one wrong being greater than the other. Biblically they are equally as wrong. True you can’t take away from her accomplishments, but just like everybody else in this world she has flaws and trust plenty of people before her and during her time has done way more, but if you peep into their personal lives you’d find that they weren’t perfect at all. We’re human. How are you passing judgement on Mashonda, you don’t know her either and just like the rest of us you don’t know the whole situation. If you were really up on things you’d know that this was an issue wayyy before the twitter letter. Which, I personally would not have done that, but that’s just what some women scorned do. I put in Rkelly because hey he’s just as talented if not more talented than alicia but his personal character is flawed just like everybody else. Whether he considered himself done or not is not the issue he was still married and still is and it’s still adultery plain and simple. Just call a spade a spade, but that doesn’t make her a bad person all the way around, she just made a mistake like I’m sure you do everyday just like the rest of us. Celebrities are the same as everyday people you see around the way it’s just that they are on TV and under a microscope. But at the end of they no one should be that invested in a celebrity’s life (unless you know them personally) (including myself) because it’s not going to affect you one way or another.

@Cublktigress
Sorry but you are not correct. Alicia Keys did not commit any Adultery PERIOD.
You are speculating and you are 100% Wrong. And R Kelly is a totally different situation. No person like you said is without sin. I never said Alicia Keys is perfect but she dam sure is not guilty of any Adultery. And Swizz is an Adult and if he wanted out of the Marriage that is his choice. Swizz’s wife is behaving very immaturely and she is the one who keeps brining Alicia’s name up. Alicia has enough class not to respond to these baseless allegations and her FANS know she has nothing to do with Swizz not wanting to be with his X wife anymore. The Twitter incidents (and she has taken to twitter and Gossip Blogs Multiple times) show how desperate Swizz’s wife has become.
Alicia’s character is SOLID.
Swizz has made the choice he wants to move in without his X and that does not fall into Adultery.

@ furious styles
Maybe he did want out of the marriage but HELLO he’s still married. If you consult Webster’s dictionary you would see that if you’re married and messing with other people and the person you’re messing with is committing adultery. If Swizz wants nothing to do with Mashonda then that’s him and her, but it still does not change the fact that it is adultery. You dont have to be having sex with that person to commit adultery. They been an item way before the twitter incident and before the birth of his son. They may not have been sexually involved but involvement of the emotions and quality time is the same thing. Sorry, but yes she is and he is and who knows maybe Mashonda is too an adulterer. So what, she’s not the first and won’t be the last that just how life works sometimes. It’s karma you gotta watch out for. Not the bloggers or opinions of others, but karma as she sings is that real bitch. You can believe what you want and btw I like her music too, but that doesn’t mean I have to agree with everything Alicia keys the person does. Being a true fan is not turning a blind eye but being able to see through the bs and like them despite their flaws.

@ Cublktigress
You can keep typing the same lie over and over that does not then make it into FACT. Just like when Swizz’s X takes to Twitter with her nonsensical drama also does not make it true. I see you are very LITERAL and in your mind it’s adultery until the Divorce is final and that is 100% not true. I get so tired of people who act like it’s biblical days. LOL Once Swizz separated from his wife (which he was) and AFTER he informed her that he wanted a DIVORCE and After a lawyer is hired to move forward with Divorce proceedings it’s fine for Swizz to look into other relationships. That is the end of that marriage. Swizz has done the responsible thing. And please spare me like you know so much about when Swizz began talking to Alicia. You only know what you know from his X Wife’s account of things which is totally false. If you read any of her tweets you will discover this woman is desperate to ingratiate herself on to Alicia to get a response and to help with her settlement and new BOOK.
So just be careful you are not Alicia’s Keys’ Judge you worry about you and stop typing BS about Alicia being an Adultery. She has shown nothing in the past that would lead you to beleive she would destroy a marriage. And if she did do that I would NEVER support her. I go by what Alicia has shown and the person she is. Not Internet gossip and a scorned woman who has no life. Her beef should be with one person Swizz. Stop calling out Alicia’s name. And you need to stop associating her name with R. Kelly’s you’re not slick.
