SVS VANCITY.

 H-O-V-A himself graced the stage of GM Place a couple weeks back and from the video above, you can see that Vancouver thought it was a long time coming.

Vancouver's own DJ Flipout opened the show and it was unfortunate that Wale & J.Cole had to cancel the day before (reasons unknown). However, N*E*R*D & Toronto-based RHEA rocked the Place, adding a new element to the band for sure.

Memphis Bleek also shared the stage with Jay-Z, and as much as I was hoping for Alicia Keys to make a surprise appearance when he performed "Empire State of Mind," the other female vocalist he brought out was also talented (unsure of her name).

My favorite moment had to be when Jay-Z pointed out all his fans in the audience and gave every appreciation for coming out to his concert while "Forever Young" played in the background.
