But in a twist this year the festivities began early — two nights prior, to be specific. All last week the New York radio station known as Hot 97  had been hyping a transformative event: not Sunday night’s five-hour concert but the Friday night premiere of a new song by the not-quite-retired Jay-Z. A listener could have been forgiven for forgetting that there was a show at all. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/09/arts/music/09hot.html?ref=arts#"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.nytimes.com/img/8DC6C639-7F35-4CB6-9301-A06ECA14DCAD" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/09/arts/music/09hot.html?ref=arts#"><P class="caption">
