What can we say, Jay Z wrapped up the final night at Wireless with a spectacular set. With a countdown to his entrance and the biggest crowd of the weekend, we were only waiting for one thing, the Jigga man himself.
With a star studded audience, including Beyonce, Mark Ronson and Gwyneth Paltrow (who decided to join us at the sound desk), we knew that this was going to be one to remember. Emerging onto the stage to a deafening roar from the crowd, and a sea of diamonds in the air, Jay was in no mood for messing around. Run This Town - his hit from last year, and On To The Next One created early highlight, as Jay breezed through his back catalogue - U Don't Know, Song Cry and I Know all featured.
“Greetings” he shouted, as the anthemic 99 Problems filled Hyde Park - witnessing fifty thousand people singing along was truly a sight to behold..
Then a surprise - as he asked the Wireless crowd to “jump like you're trying to reach the sky”, the mass audience all jumped up and down in sync to a remix of Punjabi MC's Knight Rider mashed up with his own R.O.C. You Don't Stop.
I Just Wanna Love You was next on the agenda, and the crowd went crazy! As everyone put their “diamonds in the air”, the backdrop changed to the Manhattan skyline and guess what came next? Yes, you guessed it, Empire State of Mind, a truly, spine tingling, iconic moment that truly cemented his set as bona fide classic..
Asking the crowd to make some noise, he was joined onstage by none other than J Cole for a rendition of A Star Is Born. With the crowd going nuts, a surprise blast of Jackson 5's I Want You Back followed, with it quickly merging into Izzo (H.O.V.A).
With the sun now setting on the final day at Wireless, darkness was upon us and the spectacular lightshow came into full effect. The crowd were treated to yet more hits - D.O.A , Show Me What You Got.
“Throw your shirt in the air and let's start a carnival” he shouted, and with this 60,000 Wireless fans, including the main man himself took off their jackets, shirts and tops and swung them in the air.
As the night drew nearer to the end, Jay Z was joined by Mr Hudson, who belted out Young Forever, a genuine highlight of the set, and one which the crowd went mental over. Then as quickly as he had arrived, he hobbled off stage with his crutches.
Ending the set and thanking London saying that “we were far too kind”, what else was there to do other than to say goodbye to a very special performance and a very fitting end to a magical weekend in Hyde Park
