Watch: Jay-Z and Kanye at Hackney Weekend
So that Hackney Weekender happened in London on the weekend, with some things good (like My Panda Shall Fly) and a lot of bad stuff going on (like having to put up with Tim Westwood spouting a whole load of word gunge). Most people reading this probably either didn’t go or resorted to listening to from their kitchen windows. So if you didn’t catch it, a main highlight was Jay-Z’s Saturday headline set.
Not only did a large chunk of it feature a mini Watch The Throne concert (with Kanye West showing up for the last bit), but we also saw Rihanna drop by, MIA appear for a random (and quite poor) stint halfway through and even Beyonce moshing to ‘N***as in Paris’.
Yep, you read that last bit right. Watch all below.
Watch The Throne:
Jay-Z & Rihanna – ‘Run This Town’:
