As caught by Ahmed/The Ears on Twitter, he broke the record first on night one celebrating Reasonable Doubt. Jay reportedly sold 44,916 tickets on the first of his three sold-out shows, although it’s unclear if this is the ticket sales number or just the attendance number.

Either way, he broke the record again with the second night at Yankee Stadium, reportedly selling 45,832 tickets. There were many celebrities in the audience and larger cavalcades of rowdy fans enjoying these hits being brought to life.

There’s still a lot of anticipation for Hov’s closing show at Yankee Stadium tonight (Sunday, July 11), even though all the updates from the first two could keep the discourse alive for a long time. Fans are hoping this upcoming “Extra Innings” show holds incredible surprises and some heartening throwbacks, but we’ll have to wait a few hours more at press time before finding out.

Who Did JAŸ-Z Bring Out At Yankee Stadium?

During night two of this Yankee Stadium run, JAŸ-Z brought out various special guests. The night began with Slick Rick, and Eminem later came out to perform “Renegade.” Pharrell also hit the stage for a medley of some of his biggest Hov collaborations, which was dope to see.

On the other hand, night one had plenty of guest performers as well. Beyoncé lit the crowd up at the start, and Blue Ivy Carter was also there for a piano part. Nas came out to turn New York City upside down, and Jaz-O and Memphis Bleek also hit the stage.

We will see if the “Extra Innings” show tonight also breaks a Yankee Stadium attendance and ticket sales record. Given how massive the run has been so far, it could end off with a greater bang.

In a clip caught by Kurrco on Twitter, he claimed the Atlanta rapper isn’t in the streets like that, and suggested he isn’t either. “You n***as ain’t no f***ing gangsters,” the Baton Rouge MC expressed. “That’s why y’all can walk around the [United] States like that. Pluto ain’t no f***ing gangster. Dude don’t run around without no f***ing security, especially not more than me. I just watched the world glorify the most p***y and dummy s**t that ever went on I ever seen in my life. They got a n***a y’all can’t even name, y’all don’t even know this boy for five, three songs [seemingly a response to Freebandz artist Doe Boy]… We don’t play like that. We cap rappers, we ain’t built like that.”

In another clip caught by Youngboy Snippets, he said there isn’t any real beef with Hendrix. “It’s good, though. It ain’t no beef, I don’t want no problem with y’all,” YoungBoy expressed. “I’ll fight you, though, if you want to. I just wanted to f**k up his rollout for all that little h*e-a** s**t he do behind the scenes. It’s good, though.”

He also seemed to respond to Doe Boy, accepting his challenge to fight. We’ll see if there are any more responses in this dynamic or if things slow down from here.

Future & NBA YoungBoy Beef

For those unaware, Future and NBA YoungBoy used to be cool, collaborating as recently as 2020. But YB hinted during this beef that Fewtch may have slighted him behind closed doors, and fans are looking back at previous hints of a rift.

In any case, it seems like this isn’t slowing down either of their momentums. So we’ll see if this cools down or if there are more bars or disses on the way.

Billboard caught the full setlist from Hov’s second show last night (Saturday, July 11), and it held some very special moments. Eminem came out for a rendition of “Renegade” which sent fans in the crowd and in hip-hop culture at large into a frenzy. Speaking of rap legends, Slick Rick also came out after Jay opened the show with “The Ruler’s Back,” performing his iconic track “La Di Da Di.”

The rest of the setlist saw a whole lot of material from 2001, which is exactly what fans expected. However, “Takeover” did not come to life onstage last night, an understandable omission given the special guest appearance of its target Nas at the previous concert. “Lyrical Exercise” was also missing from the rundown, as well as the second part of “Girls, Girls, Girls.”

But the encore held more surprises, as Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” theme transitioned into “Empire State Of Mind.” Also, Jay brought out Pharrell to perform a medley of some of their biggest collaborations, which was also cool to see.

Below, you can find the entire setlist to see what made the cut. We will see what other surprises JAŸ-Z has in store when he wraps this concert series up later today (Sunday, July 12).

Quotable Lyrics from Done With Xans

I wonder who would visit my grave the most if I was fuckin’ dead?
I don’t like to joke your ass, get smokеd ’bout what you fuckin’ said
I took all my L’s all by myself, and It won’t nobody there
Now I’m in anothеr country with my toes up in the fuckin’ sand

Both of the shoes now carry his signature across the upper, a huge grail. The Reebok S. Carter comes in green, brown, and yellow tones. Also asmall teddy bear graphic sits near the heel area. That detail of course ties right to Kanye’s “College Dropout” era branding.

The S. Carter line originally launched back in 2003 for Jay-Z. In 2008, Reebok created four unreleased promo samples tied to Kanye instead.

The second shoe is a Nike Air Yeezy 2 in “Pure Platinum.” That colorway was released back in 2012, and it was just before Kanye left Nike. It remains one of the more sought-after pairs from that entire lineup. Grey mesh and leather cover most of the shoe’s upper.

A glow-in-the-dark outsole remains one of its most recognizable features. Kanye signed both pairs directly onto their side panels. Photos show his signature written in black marker. These signings add real weight to two already rare pairs.

Signed Yeezy pieces rarely surface, making this one stand out further. For now, both sneakers will stay in the hands of their original collector and we can only imagine what they’re worth.

Kanye Signs Collector’s Sneakers

Kanye’s sneaker history stretches back further than most people realize. Before Nike, he worked with Reebok on the limited S. Carter release. That collaboration produced just a small handful of pairs per colorway.

Years later, the Air Yeezy line became his most influential sneaker project. Only three colorways of the Air Yeezy 2 ever reached retail. “Pure Platinum” remains one of the most recognizable among collectors today.

Getting both pieces signed adds a personal layer most sneakers never get. Autographed pairs from Kanye are still fairly uncommon in circulation. That scarcity, paired with the shoes’ existing rarity, makes this moment stand out. For collectors, it’s a rare intersection of two very different eras.

He started the show by bringing out Slick Rick, which was a legendary moment. Videos from tonight’s event have been sparse. There has been a lack of Wifi in the stadium, which has made the show a bit more intimate compared to last night.

However, some clips have been making their way to X. The most recent involves the classic Blueprint cut “Renegade.” As it turns out, Hov was waiting to bring out Eminem for the occasion. Below, you can watch both artists deliver a phenomenal rendition of their landmark track.

JAŸ-Z x Eminem

This is an incredible moment for all of the fans in attendance. Of course, JAŸ-Z is one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time, as is Eminem. When you put them together, you get nothing but greatness.

Last night, Hov brought out Nas. This time around, he has brought out the likes of Eminem. With a third show going down on Sunday, one has to wonder who else he plans on bringing to the stage.

This weekend has been full of surprises. From Beyoncé to Blue Ivy to Alicia Keys, the stars have come out for the legendary MC. All of New York City feels united in this moment, and it’s nice to see a legend still getting his respect from his peers.

Stay tuned to HNHH for continued coverage of JAŸ-Z’s performances at Yankee Stadium.
