September 15, 2010 Music Eminem and Jay-Z Make History in Detroit Eminem and Jay-Z’s "Home and Home Tour" stopped at the Motor City on Sept. 3. Eminem and Jay-Z’s “Home and Home Tour” stopped at the Motor City on Sept. 3. The hype started when the two performers sat in on a live broadcast of a Tigers vs. Yankees baseball game. May 12 yielded an announcement that would have the hip-hop world humming with excitement. The two artists chose their hometowns for the setting of the tour in order to promote Jay-Z’s dynasty, and the revival of a struggling Detroit. Two nights of hip-hop history, Sept. 2 and 3 at Comerica Park in Detroit, marked the first half of a four show tour. The second half was held at Yankee Stadium in New York City on Sept. 13 and 14. Besides Eminem and Jay’s involvement, the event hosted some of hip-hops biggest stars. Other performers included: Trick Trick (Detroit), 50 Cent, D12 (without the late Proof), Denaun Porter, Drake, Memphis Bleek, Bridget Kelly, Young Jeezy, B.O.B., Playboy Tre, and of course—Dr. Dre. The tour’s official DJ was The Alchemist. During the performance, Eminem thanked Detroit for its ongoing support several times while fighting back a few tears. He also made a significant amount of comments to the fans seated in the upper deck. “I see you,” Em said. After his hit “New York State of Mind,” Jay-Z said to the crowd, “Don’t worry Detroit, I know where I am.” The crowd roared with approval. Thursday night’s opening show welcomed more than 40,000 fans into Comerica Park, followed by Friday night boasting more than 45,000 fans. Among the excited rap enthusiasts were famous guests such as: Demi Moore, Miley Cyrus, Tracy McGrady, Lady Gaga, and local Detroit hip-hop icon Royce Da 5’9’. After the initial ticket release for the two scheduled shows, the artists decided to stretch the tour to include a second show for each city. Tickets continued to sell in record time and record numbers. V.I.P. section seating at Comerica was about $250 per ticket. For New York’s shows prices were rumored to be around $800. Comerica Park operations management employee and CMU alumnus Garrett Brown shares an inside look at the time leading to the performance dates. “The entire construction of the stage took about 18 hours,” Brown said. “The rest of the setup continued well into Wednesday.” According to Comerica officials, Jay-Z’s rehearsal on Wednesday required extra security as he wished to keep the practice secret from staff and media. Jay-Z expressed his wish to spend the night before the first show in his own home. So he did what any private jet owner would do: flew back Thursday afternoon just in time for his setup. With more than 200 Comerica Park employees working the event — along with Detroit’s own X-Men Security team — Comerica Park was running at full capacity. After the shows, employees prepared for a home Tigers game on Monday by painting the ruined field green. “The field was completely destroyed by the floor cover,” Brown said. “What did we expect from the biggest rap concert ever?”
