Concert review by Laura Blyth
Two of the world's biggest hip hop superstars graced the same stage at Birmingham's LG Arena.
Fans of Jay Z and best mate Kanye West got two for the price of one as the pair brought their Watch the Throne show to the second city.
Jay-Z, married to superstar singer Beyonce, told the crowd last night they were "rocking with the best" and he was certainly right.
The two rappers bounced around the stage, which included stunning laser lights, huge explosions of fire and two huge video-screen platforms they performed on top of.
One of the platforms was at the back of the arena, allowing fans to get up close and personal with their idols.
Kanye and Jay-Z performed together for half of the gig with tracks from their critically acclaimed collaborative Watch The Throne album.
But their solo performances also brought roars from the crowd. Jay-Z impressed with 99 Problems and Empire State of Mind
Kanye lifted the crowd with performances of Good Life, Jesus Walks, All Of The Lights and Gold Digger.
They ended the night in spectacular style - performing the instant classic Paris not once, but four times.
