BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA // SUNDAY, JULY 27TH 2008» Rapper Jay-Z hit the stage last night during day 3 of the 2008 Pemberton Music Festival, a weekend long event in British Columbia (Canada).

The sun had just set behind the mountains on Sunday evening as Jay-Z took the stage to a roar of cheers – and quickly stole the show. Backed by a brass band, the legendary producer and rapper worked the 30,000-person strong crowd into a frenzy. The ground shook as the audience thrust their fists in the air to hit after hit, including “99 Problems” and his breakthrough “A Hard Knock Life.”

“To come up and here and get this much love, don’t think I don’t appreciate it,” Jay-Z shouted to the thundering crowd. “I appreciate each and every one of y’all out there.” [ SOURCE ]

N*E*R*D took the stage as well earlier in the day, so check out photos of them when you continue reading below!

So it looks like Rick Ross isn’t the only Miami Rapper to be caught lying about his past. Hip Hop DX claims that although Plies proclaims himself a “goon affiliated, ex-drug dealer” and raps about a criminal past, his records show that he had never been in trouble with the law until after his records were made.

HipHopDX has obtained documentation from the state of Florida that lists the “definition of real” rapper’s first real run-in with the law to have not taken place until two years ago, on April 12, 2006, when Plies – real name Algernod Lanier Washington, born May 22, 1976 – would have been on the eve of his 30th birthday and just beginning his ascension to his current status of gold-certified rap star.

The 32-year-old was arrested for the first time at the age of 29 on April 12, 2006 for the misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer without violence.
