Watch Jay-Z’s “Made in America” festival in Philadelphia live [VIDEO]

Love him or hate him, Jay-Z has contributed a lot to hip hop, showing rappers how to expand their business portfolios. Jay-Z, along the way, has opened doors for many other artists, who in turn opened doors for others. Perhaps the most successful artist Jay-Z ever developed was Kanye West.

Over the course of his career, Jay-Z has also worked with Memphis Bleek and J. Cole, only naming a few. In the eyes of many, Jay-Z has built a legacy which goes well beyond hip hop music. Many have begun to view Jay-Z as an American icon, as he branched out of music to contribute to the presidential campaign of Barack Obama.

Jay-Z and Budweiser teamed up earlier this year to deliver the “Made in America” festival, which launched yesterday. With performances from Rick Ross and his Maybach Music along with Kanye West, Big Sean, 2 Chainz and the rest of G.O.O.D. Music, more performances are set to take place today. Hip Hop Vibe has obtained the live stream for the second day of the festival, courtesy of YouTube.
