Jay-Z LIVE From Madison Square Garden! It's Time To "Answer the Call" !
Jay-Z is scheduled to roc' Madison Square Garden on 9/11/09, the day The Blueprint 3 is scheduled to be released. Jay-Z will make history with an album release that will complete his trilogy of 'Blueprints' and answer the call for a great cause! See below:
"The events of September 11 challenged JAY-Z as an entertainer and a New Yorker. This charity concert serves as not just a reminder of the lives lost but as a look towards the future and the hope that arose on September 12. "This charity and concert encompass the true spirit of New York City,” commented Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter. “We are asking everyone to 'answer the call' and support and honor the families of those that lost their lives. There is a true camaraderie and resiliency this city showed the world in 2001 and we continue that today by taking care of our own.
For this live event, 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales and concert merchandise will go directly to “New York Police & Fire Widows’ & Children’s Benefit Fund.” Since its inception, New York Police & Fire Widow’s & Children’s Benefit Fund has distributed over $114 million to the families of New York City police and fire personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Though the Benefit Fund was initially created to assist families of New York City Fire Fighters and Police Officers, the non-profit now includes the families of Emergency Medical Services and Port Authority Officers as well. For more information on the organization, go to www.answerthecall.org"

This is soooo huge...
Coming straight from a New York Fire Fighter himself.
Jay is on a huge path and all the New York City empoyees should
appreciate this act of kindness greatly, especially those that look down on minority employees.
Judging them as if they could never be themselves and do a great job at serving their city.
Looking at blacks in the police community like they are the guys they are locking up (sometimes
for bullshit). Black Fire Fighters feeling isolated in their own Fire Houses.
Take a look at an individual who stepped out of that same environment u frown down on and accept his donation. From the pj's just like Jay and i work among those who will accept his donation and still look down on
the people in the communities that they serve in.
