Jay-Z Brings His ‘Jay-Z 30’ Concert Series to a Close in Los Angeles With Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Too Short

Jay-Z concluded his yearlong “Jay-Z 30” concert series with a second show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, using the finale to reaffirm the scale and significance of his career. The performance revisited hits from across his catalogue as he addressed claims online that the stadium was not full, urging the audience to question what they see and hear amid AI and misinformation.

The 90-minute set included Too Short performing “Blow the Whistle”, while Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg joined for classics including “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” and “Still D.R.E.” Jay’s setlist echoed earlier shows, with songs such as “Girls, Girls, Girls”, “’03 Bonnie & Clyde”, “N—s in Paris” and “Big Pimpin’”. The series began with a headlining performance at the Roots Picnic in May and offered a retrospective on a career spanning three decades, during a period when newer artists and a long gap between albums have renewed debate about his legacy.
