If you haven’t already heard, Jay Z and Eminem performed live on the roof of the Ameritania Hotel on W 54th St on Monday intending to make the ultimate New York statement—but The Beatles on top of Apple Studio this is not. For one thing, the performance was taped and is slated to air on the David Letterman show this Friday. For another, although it was supposedly intended to be an impromptu, unannounced affair, the ensuing after party, which featured P Diddy and Ashlee Dupre (who certainly goes along with the New York theme), suggests otherwise. Check out some photos of the performance after the jump and let us know if you find the situation a celebratory one or a PR spectacle.
