Jay Z
- Fade to Black (2004)
With the release of his
career-defining THE BLACK ALBUM in 2003, Jay-Z
shocked his fans and the industry by announcing he was quitting
the business. Having honed his rhyming skills in the tough Marcy
Projects of Brooklyn, Jay-Z's story is a classic rags-to-riches
tale. Although best known for his multi-million-dollar selling
albums, the rap impresario has also dipped his toe into corporate
waters. His record label, Roc-a-Fella, has proved highly
lucrative, as has his clothing line, and an excursion into movie
production. So when he relinquished his position at the top of the
rap game, the inimitable performer decided to stage a flamboyant
farewell gesture in the form of a special guest-laden concert at
New York's prestigious Madison Square Garden. Directors Michael
John Warren and Paul Paulson were given the task of catching the
festivities on camera, and also managed to capture some candid
snippets of the star as he prepared for the show. But it's when he
hits the stage that the astonishing breadths of his talents are
revealed. Making the cavernous venue seem intimate via some
touching interplay with the audience, Jay-Z beckons a breathtaking
list of hip-hop and R&B glitterati onto the stage. Among them
are Missy Elliott, Lil' Kim, P. Diddy, R. Kelly, and Beyonce
Knowles. The ecstatic crowd laps up the onstage action throughout,
and are clearly delighted to be invited to one of the grandest
parting shots in history. Since the film's completion, Jay-Z has
reneged on his retirement, and the music world is a much better
place for it.
