Fade to Black (2004)

Fade to Black: Directed by Patrick Paulson, Michael John Warren. With Jay-Z, Fonzworth Bentley, Beyoncé, Memphis Bleek. Filmed during his “Black Album” era, Jay-Z looks back on his career as one of rap music’s most successful emcees and entrepreneurs.

“Rapper Jay-Z records The Black Album and performs his farewell concert at Madison Square Garden in November 2003. Iu0026#39;m not a big fun of his music other than a few big hits. Iu0026#39;m more impressed with his command, his producing, and his business skills. The man is a mogul and a genius. There is real energy at his concert. I love the audience. As for Jay-Z with his boys, there is too much fawning going on. I canu0026#39;t really expect different but it would be nice to see him in more varied situations. While I donu0026#39;t care that much about his recording, itu0026#39;s fascinating to see him spitting his rhymes. This is for his fans. For his non-fans, this may get a bit repetitive and they may not care about being at his concert.”
