Jay-Z is in uncharted territory with The Blueprint 3. The only given is that he will tell us all about it. The most logical career move at any point from now on is for Jay to do . Hes sold crack and a billion records, hobnobbed with world leaders, and married Beyonce. But unlike other iconic figures - Bono, Elvis, Paul McCartney - Jay has always worn his heart on his sleeve, so there may not actually be that big a difference between the rapper and the person. It has become nearly impossible to see Sean Carter the person without first seeing him as Jay-Z the rapper. Jay-Zs celebrity has completely eclipsed his personality. In the end, I supposed it is a question that can be answered with a question: Why shouldnt he? As I stood waiting through two hours of DJ jams and Samsung promotional drivel, I had some time to ponder why exactly a rapper of Jays status would bother playing a one-off show at such a small venue. I had the privilege of being one of those fans. Jay-Z celebrated the release of his eleventh studio album with a free show for a few hundred lucky fans at Chicagos House of Blues.
