Shame most of them can't afford the tickets to get into the stadium. Sure…Jay-Z and Alicia Keys will get the fans outside the stadium plenty pumped.

This means that the Roots are obviously much better than Jay-Z, and Kevin Eubanks outshines all them.

In their own words, "I can't go for that." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vouDK-LELEU Just watch that clip and tell me that the crowd wouldn't be super-stoked for Game 3. Jay-Z doesn't have a chance to match that genius. It's ovah! My dear boy, how could you make a list of Philly’s phinest entertainers and not include Hall and Oates?
