Jay-Z x N.E.R.D. x Wale x J. Cole

I guess this kind of kills the Jay-Z x Lupe rumors huh? I’m not overly upset though as N.E.R.D. is pretty fucking awesome live. But still… Hov & Lupe would’ve been epic.

Jay-Z announced today that — N.E.R.D, led by the phenomenal hit-makers and producers Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, Wale one of the brightest, innovative and heralded young rap stars of today, and J.Cole whose insightful and meaningful lyrical form brings promise of a new day in hip-hop, — will join him throughout his North American tour.

The Live Nation produced tour will make 24 stops at a mix of college campus arenas and traditional venues across North America starting at Penn State University on October 9th. Ticket and tour information for Jay-Z, N.E.R.D, Wale, and J.Cole is available at LiveNation.com.

  8. quit hating LA, you get every fucking tour and every fucking artist. all this bitching about him not going to the south should stop to. Jay obviously wanted to hit cities that he usually doesn’t aka VANCOUVER FTW

  30. If Wale wasn’t on the shit and was replaced by Lupe this shit would be epic. They’re trying their best to give Wale a chance to blow and he’s just not that talented or interesting to make it happen, he’s just sort of there.

  40. man this shit sucks. he’s gonna be here for Powerhouse?! fuck powerhouse. it had a spark when it started but now it’s just garbage. plus they would never let N.E.R.D. be there since it’s only for radio hip-hop anyway.
