T.I. and Jay-Z - Watch What You Say

NahRight has the new T.I. with Jay track, the track actually comes from HiphopDX and has the HiphopDX drops in it. I share the opinion that many seem to have of this, 'Jay hasn't sounded this good since....' maybe Sean is really going out of his way to impress Rihanna. There is some talk that Jay is going at Wayne on this track, and maybe Game a little. What do you guys think? T.I. and Jay-Z - Watch What You Say @ NahRight

Rihanna Says Jay-Z Screens Her Dates

Guys looking to date Rihanna have to go through a screening process.. He's very protective. Jay has my best interests in mind. If it's a good guy I know Jay won't shut him down. But if he's not, Jay will be like, 'No, no, no.' Isn't that a tad strange? Well, it wouldn't be weird if Jay didn't have the 'hottest girl in the game wearing his chain'. Source People

Did You Know Jay-Z Doesn't Like Dipset?

Apparently, Kid Carpi went to spin Dipset at Jay-Z club 40/40 and the track was immediately pulled. Dipset isn’t allowed to spin at Jay-Z club. Source From The Polo Fleece To The Jesus Piece has that Lil' Wayne Enrique Iglesias joint I mentioned the other day. There is a rumor that 50 Cent added Young Jeezy and 3 more tracks to 'Curtis'. I hope that clears up all the international release date problems...

Jay-Z Accused of Paying Below Minimum Wage

Jay-Z is being sued by a woman who used to work as a waitress at his New York nightclub 40/40 - for allegedly failing to pay employees the minimum wage. The company that owns the club Twenty Ones Inc is accused of not paying staff the tips left for them by customers. The suit claims a percentage of tips were kept from staff and accuses the club of "willfully failing and refusing to pay them at the legally required minimum wage" since it opened in 2003. Source This isn't the only lawsuit filed against Jay. Earlier this week it was reported that Jay-Z and Damon Dash are being hit with a $15 million lawsuit claiming that Roc-A-Fella stole the concept for the “State Property” movie from his novel. Source

Jay-Z Currently Has 99 Problems And A Plane Crash Isn't 100

Taken from TMZ Rumors have been swirling this morning that rapresario Jay-Z (aka Shawn Carter) was in a plane crash this morning. TMZ has confirmed that a small plane registered to a citizen of Dublin, GA crashed near Asheville, NC in the Smoky Mountains. The FAA tells TMZ that the four-seat propeller plane did go down this morning, but could not provide any additional details. Sources tell TMZ that he is on his way to Vegas this weekend to take in the Mayweather - de la Hoya fight. I have learned since TMZ posted this that Jay-Z was not actually on the plane. Next time Nasir falls off his bike I expect the TMZ to be right on it. Someone should take their keyboards away, this is the second example today of what I call bad-blogging.

Jay-Z Sells Rocawear for 200 Million

I'm excited about selling my racing wheel for my xbox on ebay today, I can't even imagine how nice it would be able to sell some garbage for 200 million dollars. Nice job Jay, now someone else can worry about sweatpants reaching the discount racks at Marshalls. Maybe Jay is a genius. Not only did he manage to get 200 mill for Rocawear, but he also will remain the "chief creative officer of the brand". Source Reuters

Mid Week Things

The word is that Ghostface will not be appearing on the new Wu-Tang album '8 Diagrams' I have heard multiple sources report this, and all site the RZA as their source. I'm sure this dampens the excitement for many. I wonder if Ghost will be the only original member out. BBC Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood has heard a new 50 Cent track off 'Before I Self Destruct' that features Jay-Z and is produced by Dr. Dre. Westwood says the song is incredible and the best thing he has heard since Ice Cube's "Today Was A Good Day". HHNLive adds that Jay-Z shouts out at the entire G-Unit crew at the start of the track and even adds a "GGGGG-Unit" For those wondering what Benzino has been up to recently, you don't have to wonder any more. The former co-owner of The Source has been video taping himself making some real raw moves. This video is really NSFW. Those more curious what former Russian pop group T.A.T.U has been doing will find more enjoyment out of looking at these pictures from the Russian GQ than that Benzino video. I was watching BET yesterday and I hadn't realized how much of a hit MIMS track "This Is Why I'm Hot" has become. It is the first single off the album 'Music Is My Savior', which is due in stores April 3rd. For those that have missed out, here is a stream for the single "This Is Why I'm Hot" and here is a link to the video. Finally, I repeat make sure you check out the mix from DJ Joe Cruse below

Kay Slay,Rich Boy Remix, Jay - Z and More

The above image is Kay Slay's attempt to maybe fool the RIAA, or at least throw them a curve ball. It also is the worst cover for a mixtape I have ever seen. My friend Loren sent me the Rich Boy (Feat Lil' Jon, Andre 3000, Jim Jones, Murphy Lee, & The Game) - Throw Some D's (Remix) last night and you can grab it over at Che Sing the Cool right now. Go to XXL to listen to the Curren$y ft. Lil Wayne “Dead Presidents Freestyle”. I think Curren$y might be the best weed carrier in the game right now. I am really looking forward to his record 'Music To Fly To". Did anyone catch the Jay-Z's stalker on Dr. Phil yesterday? I will post a video as soon as I find it. Jay-Z's Nets get $400M from Ex-Slave-Trade Co. Jigga what? If you haven't been paying attention to what Polow Da Don has been doing, you should be. 2006 could be his year. Didn't Diddy just have twins? What is he doing with Sienna Miller? Imitating A Scanner Darkly in Photoshop

Juelz Santana and Lil Wayne - Black Republicans

Juelz Santana and Lil Wayne - Black Republican (YSI)/(Z-Share) This is a radio rip from the Mr.C radio show. Despite it being a radio rip it is decent quality. Didn't Jay-Z say something on the Kayne "Diamonds" Remix like "How could you falter when you're the rock of Gibraltar"? Is is it a coincidence that Juelz says "The rock of Gibraltar has now fallen" on this track? Now does this track mean that we might actually get 'I Can't Feel My Face' this year?

Memphis Bleek- Back Down (Dipset Diss)

Bleek is worthless, and I'm not just saying that because he is dissing the Dips. Listen for yourself... Memphis Bleek- Back Down (Dipset Diss) (YSI)/(Z-Share) Bleek going over a 50 Cent track adds to the garbage. Speaking of garbage, Perez has some really rough looking pictures of Lil Kim.

Camron and JR vs Tru Life and Jay Z

The camel on a camel part is the best... I have no idea what this track is called or why it took so long...this is a low quality version of the track (it is the best I could find). Camron Feat Jr. Writer - Camel on a Camel (YSI)/(Z-Share) So many good quotes...Nice work Cam also..Video of Zeeky going at Jay and Nas, Part 1 and Part 2 I received an email last night that The Game is releasing his fourth 'You Know What It Is" mixtape in the next couple of days called 'The 24 Hour Turnaround'. I don't mean to state the obvious, but apparently it was recorded in 24 hours. Hopefully it will have some shots at HHH and Becks on there. MixUnit is now selling only official products Byron Crawford has a DJ Drama update as well as info on his sister.

Hell Rell - Cock La Familia (Tru Life diss)

I was surprised the Dips were so quiet for this long. I don't expect that the main three will even address Tru Life but 40 Cal, Ruger Rell and JR will on the other hand. Hell goes at him pretty good here and even gets a few shots in at Bleek. This is the best audio there is right now, scroll down a little bit to find it. Hell Rell - Cock La Familia (Tru Life diss) via HipHopGame.com In other news Angelina Jolie is out as Ava Lord in Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For and Rachel Weisz is in. (via Just Jared) In totally unrelated but very related news...Marvel Studios announced today Gwyneth Paltrow will take on the role of Virginia "Pepper" Potts, personal secretary and confidant to Tony Stark aka Iron Man. Here is the concept art for the Iron Man suit.

Tru Life Goes Off on the all of Dipset

These tracks (skits) were taken from the new Tru Life Mixtape: Tru-Life - Hip Hop 101 Gameshow Interlude (Dipset Diss) (YSI)/(Z-Share) Tru-Life - Max B Phone Call Skit (Dipset Diss) (YSI)/(Z-Share) Tru-Life - The Dips Is Ova (Dipset Diss) (YSI)/(Z-Share) Tru-Life - In Dem Jeans (Dipset Diss) (YSI)/(Z-Share) Tru-Life - Running Man Skit (Dipset Diss) (YSI)/(Z-Share) Here is some video of Tru Life talking about the whole situation: Part 1 Part 2 Anyone know if JR really sold less than Federline? Also, I respect how focused Tru Life is on the fact that Jimmy wears tight jeans. Regardless of if they are tight jeans or not, it is a Donald Trump tactic to be so focused on one aspect of the ether. Tru life better enjoy it while he can because his kufi is going to get smacked all the way across the Atlantic for this (the myspace hack was nothing). My hat goes off to Jay who sure too the high road here and sent his little rookie to go after the Dips. Mission accomplished Jay, people are now going to pay attention to Tru Life. All eyes on Tru.

True Life Responds to the Myspace Hacking by the Dips

Someone from the Diplomats hacked Tru Life's mypsace, Eskay was quick enough to get the screen shots some screen shots and things over at NahRight. (Screen Shot 1 and Screen Shot 2) Here is some audio from Tru Life responding to the myspace hack. Part1 Part 2 Thanks to Desus for pointing this out in the previous post.

Jay-Z Disses Jim Jones On Tru Life's New Mixtape

Ok, it is funny that Jim Jones is in that Borat swimsuit...anyway Sean Carter's weed carrier Tru Life just released a mixtape called 'Tru York' hosted by J-Love and Tru Life seems to be going to go at the Dips pretty hard on this. Listen to the "Intro" track at his myspace, it features Jigga going off on Jimmy. You can't say that Jimmy only used the feud as promotions and deny that Jigga is doing the same thing with Tru Life. Jay-Z and Tru Life - Intro (YSI)/(Z-Share) In an interview with hiphopgame.com N.O.R.E. talks about his new album 'Global Warming' and says "I want my album to drop on Easter Sunday to give people a NorEaster". N.O.R.E. is the man. Discobelle has that new Rich Boy and Lil Jon track called "What It Do". Rich Boy never mentioned working with Lil Jon when I spoke to him last month. Free iphone spam already? Star Wars IV reconsidered, this essay really supports the theory that Lucas had it all planned out. I like the idea Chewbacca is so important, and actually owns the Falcon.

Proof that Jay - Z Is The Devil

This might be old, not sure: Here is a link to a lot of new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pictures from the movie due this Spring.

Jay - Z

This picture was taken from Jimmy's myspace page (more on the camel below). If you haven't heard T.I. has a new song called "Where They At" grab it over at Discobelle or Different Kitchen. It is from the new Grand Hustle compilation 'In The Streetz Vol. 4'. TIP has had quite the year and it seems right that we get one more banger from him. Even Pitchfork had to recognize putting "What You Know" and "My Love" in their top 3 songs of the year. The list of course has its flaws, but putting T.I. in the top 3 twice isn't one of them, Idolator has a breakdown of the good the bad and the ugly of the Pitchfork list. What Jay-Z record did Source Magazine actually listen to when giving it 4.5 mics? Here is a video taken from the Jay-Z show at Radio City where he did all the 'Reasonable Doubt' tracks.

Jim Jones Interview on BET 106 and Park

Jimmy says he appreciated Jay's response and appreciates the help making him "more famous." Oh and wait till the end... Speaking of more famous, In an effort to stay away of too many posts with videos here is a link to Jay-Z's appearance on Barbara Walters. If you are wondering why Jay is being interviewed, it is for her feature on the 10 most fascinating people.
