Timberlake sang Holy Grail, a track from Jay-Z's twelfth studio album Magna Carta Holy Grail on which he had been a guest, as well as Until the End of Time, his duet with Beyoncé from the expanded edition of the album FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006). Pharrell, who was also present at the anniversary concerts in New York, performed several songs with Jay-Z, including Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me) and Excuse Me Miss. Rolling Stone ↗
Jay-Z has spent the summer playing a series of monumental concerts. He celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of Reasonable Doubt and 25 years of The Blueprint in July with three nights at New York's Yankee Stadium, with guests including Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Eminem, Usher, Rihanna and Nas. At the first concert at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he was joined by actor Idris Elba, who opened the show with a spoken intro from the album American Gangster, and by Lauryn Hill with Wyclef, who performed the Fugees hits Ready or Not, Killing Me Softly and Fu-Gee-La. The celebrations continue on October 23 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Rolling Stone ↗
