Plot: An intimate look at hip-hop artist Shawn carter, Jay-Z, revealing the multiple Grammy Award winning artist as never before, from his background and rise to fame to the recording of his last album. The...( read more  ) film chronicles the legendary concert of Jay-Z's performance at Madison Square Garden in November 2003. In an unprecedented event, a hip-hop artist sold out an arena in only two hours. Nearly one year later, fans and artists alike still reflect on this monumental musical night. The event was a spectacular culmination of Jay-Z's recording career prior to his self-proclaimed retirement from solo performing. Yet this one night also defined a musical generation, showcasing the evolution and reach of the world's most popular music genre. Guest performers included Jay-Z's closest friends and music industry colleagues: Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, R. Kelly, Foxy Brown, Pharrell, and Questlove and The Illadelphonics along with appearances by hip hop icons Damon Dash, Rick Rubin, Slick Rick, P. Diddy and many others. Viewers get the rare glimpse of Jay-Z's creative process as he searches for inspiration, poetry, and perfection in his songs. Narrated by Jay-Z, his account of the night takes on reflections of his entire musical career and his journey that led to this one astounding, fabled evening--rightfully called "Fade To Black."

  What was supposed to be his last concert and is still a classic movie to me to this day. All the hits I was just mad he didn't have UGK and perform Big Pimpin. This proves Jay is the king of hip-hop. Tribute to Tupac and BIG. And his old collabarations with Missy, Mary J. Blige, Pharrell, Bleek, Freeway, Beans, Twista, and R. Kelly. Great concert movie.

  probably one of the best concert movies i seen....i only seen a few but it was ingenious to put some studio recording sessions.....in between....though his retirement was only like 3 years it was a good way to go out

  interesting...what black people do/act like when they get power/fame...what men do to feel loved...what humans do when all eyes are on them...not in a good way.

  This is a great movie, period. You don't really have to be a Jay-Z fan to enjoy it. Just watching him go in the studio and make The Black Album is worth your time. It was a good time watching a great musical mind at work.
