In the past major tours at Arenas and Stadiums have been largely reserved for rock bands and larger pop star-type shows but all of that is about to change. Jay-Z and Mary J Blige’s “Heart Of The City” tour is about to break $20 million dollars. Kanye West’s “Glow In The Dark” tour which also includes Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D. and Rihanna, looks like it will also break the $20 mill mark.
A Live Nation executive said “Hip-hop is starting to mature,” continuing “at some point we will reflect back at how important these tours were in the growth of the hip-hop concert business.” The touring giant recently signed Jay-Z to a $150 million dollar deal.
Now if we can get more Hip Hop moguls like Jay Z out there trying to bring some substance to hip hop instead of idiot cooners like Lil Wayne (who i think is sooooo overrated), then people won't look down on Hip Hop like it's trash.
