Rap-Up.com || Jay-Z Brings Out Beyoncé at Final Barclays Center Show

Grand opening, grand closing. Following a week of sold-out shows, Jay-Z concluded his run at Barclays Center with one final concert on Saturday night. While his earlier shows included appearances from Big Daddy Kane and Memphis Bleek, he saved the best for last.

Wearing a Brooklyn Nets cap and sunglasses, surprise guest Mrs. Carter hit the stage to perform “Diva” and was joined by her husband for “Crazy in Love.” Jay even gave B a smack on the ass after delivering his verse on the latter. She returned later in the show to duet on “Young Forever.”

The concert was live streamed for fans on YouTube. Watch the superstar couple close things out with a bang.

@ashgino@gmail.com, you compare Prince with Beyonce?
I know where you are coming from but…

Where is the fucking classic for Beyonce that has the emotional debth of a Prince song?
Shaking her ass and singing “Single Ladies” with 50?
No, thanks Maa’am!
“Bills Bills Bills”?
“Halo”?
Where the f&^% is her classic?

@Fa, Beyonce over Prince anyday tbh. Her classics? I WAS HERE, DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE, DISAPPEAR, SMASH INTO YOU, SAVE THE HERO, freacking LOVE ON TOP… She’s underrated. Her Only songs that make it big are her up tempos. Listen to her classics and then we’ll finish this talk.

@Yasmine Layas, Beyonce over Prince? You really can’t be serious. Prince has so many classic albums not a good song here and there and he has seen many Beyonce’s come and go in his lifetime (Tina Turner anyone?) The delusions of y’all stans is sad.

@NOLA Navy, Go buy a clue! Beyonce is not a fly by night artist. Some of the other gimmicky artists may come & go (ahem … Nicky) but B been doing her thing for 16 years. 16 years is not a “come and go” career. As far as classics, Dangerously In Love, Me Myself & I, Start Over, That’s Why Your Beautiful. NO artist can be compared to Prince period however he is a BIG Beyonce fan that’s why he asked her to collab w/ him @ the Grammy a few years ago.

She usually wears tighter clothing and her pitch was kinda all over the place but idk if that has anything do with anything. I love me some jay and bey tho

There is at least 15 women in the business right now that can outsing her with ease!Always has been!
As a Beyonce fan you should feel happy cause she is not pre recorded on this show!Unlike her own tours! Most of the time she is giving attitude and letting her fans sing some parts!
Sit down!

@Fa, It amazed me how you have nothing but NEGATIVE things to say about Beyonce. Yet your looser ass is on her post. No life? Anyone? Anyone? I’ve been to a couple of her concerts & they are NOT pre-recorded because during a COUPLE of the songs she gives her LIVE mic to fans to sing. Are there better singers? Yes Are there better singers that have the vocal restraint & control that B has? No, not very many. If you are looking for evidence that Mrs. Carter can sing, check out her Las Vegas concert, Resentment or the Sweet Dreams/Dangerously In Love/Sweet Love remix. Hands down ONE of the best to ever have done it.

Maybe I was listening to something else because those vocals sounded crazy too me. Beyonce is losing it, but that’s to be expected, she is aging and it’s only but so long you will be able to do all that p*ssy poppin and singing without getting winded. I give her 1 more album and she is done.

Haters everywhere you look. How dare someone comment 15 current singers could out-sing her… Point them out. Show me the receipts. Anyway, I feel like this performance was very last minute because even her dancers weren’t tight like they normally are. I went to Revel and she slayed these songs with ease so I doubt (as someone said) that she’s losing her touch. Also, I’ve seen her live a few times before and her vocals are NOT I repeat NOT pre-recorded. Just because your fave can’t stand still and sing on key doesn’t mean that all singers lipsync. Performing isn’t a lost art, Beyonce saw to that.

Beyonce always amazes me. Did her vocals come off kind of strained and weaker than usual? Yes, but she still had the confidence and energy. I don’t think the performance was to be taken too seriously. I have noticed that her voice has gotten a little deeper since she has given birth. #QUEENBEE.

All performances are NOT about perfection. She obviously came and supported her husband, probably at no charge. Had this been a BEYONCE concert, you can best believe that the quality of the performance would have been superb. You still can’t deny that she moved and sounded better than the majority of her “competition.” I swear I fell on the floor @ 4:30! You can’t tell Beyonce she ain’t the baddest bitch!
