The Heart of the City tour, which rolls through the burbs this week before concluding at MSG in May, presents an interesting question: Who’s the headliner? Jay-Z may seem like the bigger draw, but Mary J. Blige’s Growing Pains has outsold his American Gangster (released in December and November, respectively), and Mary’s current “Just Fine” has proven more ubiquitous than any single Jay’s mustered postretirement.
Regardless of who’s closing each night, the shows will peak with “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” the MJB-aided third single from Jay’s Reasonable Doubt. While hardly among his biggest chart successes, the silky-smooth ’96 mantra set the tone for the Jigga Man’s future by fusing the rough-hewn street rap he’d already become known for with one of those female-friendly choruses he’d soon become even better known for. You could say he owes it all to Mary.

THE SHOW IS GREAT BOTH ARE HEADLING THE TOUR. IT IS THE QUEEN OF HIP HOP AND SOUL AND THE KING OF HIP HOP DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST SING AND RAP. NOW MARY'S SHOW IS ON FIRE EVERYTIME I SEE HER IT GETS BETTER ABD BETTER SHE IS LIKE A GLASS OF WINE THE OLDER IT GETS THE BETTER IT TASTES, LOOKS, AND COST. NOW I AM A JAYZ FAN TOO AND HE REALLY SURPRISED WITH HIS STAGE PRESENCE. HE NEEDED TO BE ON TOUR WITH MARY TO REALLY BRING THE REAL JAYZ OUT. GOD BLESS BOTH OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE TRUE HIP HOP. 1
