I'm down for good music for a good cause but this ain't the case. The homie Sha from MTV hit me with a question yesterday I dreaded goin' on the record about: How do I feel about hip-hop artists being included in the "We Are The World" remake? Geez, I guess we've come long way since 1985. I don't think you could do it any other way than include our culture which is the pulse of pop culture. But instead of feeling any type of validation, I feel disgust. Seriously, a complete remake of the original song? Celine Dion gettin' her Cyndi Lauper on? Lil Wayne as Bob Dylan? Fuck outta here. Didn't I see Will.I.Am in the flicks? They could gave that nigga an hour plus a pen and a pad and I'm sure he'd come up with something cheesy for no small fee but for free. I'm truly scared to hear what the final product is gonna sound like. Are we really gonna hear the soothing vocals of Nipsey Hussle in the final mix? Highly doubt it. Damn, it's the thought that counts but this just doesn't feel right. Shame on a couple of legendary nuhs named Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. MJ is turning over in his oxygen tank. 
You know you done fucked up, don't you? You know it, don't you? You know you done fucked up.RR Exclusive: Jay-Z Confirms His Independence
Thursday, May 21 2009 5:18 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: True Story
With rumors swirling around Jay’s Def Jam contract buyout, Hov exclusively spoke to Rap Radar to confirm the speculation.
“I can honestly say, working with Doug Morris and LA Reid has been a unique and fulfilling experience and I respect them immensely. I’ve been in the family for almost my entire career.
Doug and I spoke directly and had one of the most unique “negotiations” ever. Doug won the toss but, we both won in the end..
I thank him for allowing me to be a completely independent artist. Not every artist can say they own or are given the opportunity to own all of their music.”
YN: What is this coin toss about?
Hov: That takes a phone conversation, I’ll save it for our interview… classic.
5 million, really? Couldnt he release some Greatest Hits album via Def Jam??
looks like dame and biggs are the only losers in that deal.
“What’s a little me on top gon hurt? Maybe a little but…” At the end of the day 5 mil is chump change for Jay. His pockets will be koo.
greatest hits album was already released back then few years ago i think
and now he will sell this blueprint III
for his roc nation ink (ten albums deals)
so that BP3 will be the first album for “ROC NATION”
5 mil to hov is what $3500 is to the average person
Is a white dude.
It’s no fun when the rabbit has the gun! GO Jay! RULE THE WORLD>>>I’ll have no choice but to follow. But I’ll like it
O WELL MOVING ON TO BIGGER & BETTER THINGS IS SUPERB, ESPECIALLY WITH B BY UR SIDE; HANG IN THERE IT’S GON B ALRIGHT I LOVE DEREON & ROCAWEAR
MORE MONEY FOR HOV. THAT 5 MILLI WAS A SELF INVESTMENT. HOV BALLIN HARD ITS ONLY THE SECOND QUARTER.
All he[they]are going to do is diverse cash between more music, film and sports. Brilliant. My Jay-Z collection? Best investments of my life.
First and foremost I have to say I don’t know any other artist especially rap artist who is as bright as he is. Face it he’s got the game wrapped up. From 400 k of his own money to almost a Billi. I don’t think he minds the 5 mil buy out. Face it scared money don’t make money. This dude is gonna be even better considering that he gets all the mula for his albums now that he is under his own label. Do da damn thing Hova. When Labron comes to the Nets and you move them to Brooklyn there is another business venture he will be successful at.
Hello,
I would like to make this breif, I was attracted and proud of one of the most prominent stars in this Country. Yes,his name is Jay Z(Shaunn Carter). Unfortunalty, certain things that have happend within this past year, that have made me come to the realazation that some Big Time Celebraties are like under cover thieves!!. They have this suttle, sometimes mean swagger about themselves, that can blow your mind away, literally. I had a close encounter with a Big Time Celebraty, a bad encounter that is,and now this star has yet to try to make any arrangements or come foward about his/her mistakes!!!! (The nerve of some people). What is the meaning of this?,and just think we look up to these people, we spend our hard earned money on thier items, so they can keep thier star status. The every day hard working people,that’s right,the no-body’s. This man/woman has made my my life a living hell. Well,atleast 75% of time,just within this past year and I thought very highly of this person. There are so many different faces we all carry, sometimes some people have so many, they have become well aware as to when and what face to use!. The celebraties that we see on T.V are not real, they represent something that we all would like to have, money, power, and fame!. The secret’s that some of these stars have,the private lives that they have to keep and some things that they experince that no one is even aware about. I know for a fact that one day I will get the kind of responce, or an apology that I am owed, it’s only fair, right!. I don’t want this Country to be so caught up into these celebraties that we as our indivials can not become our own under cover thieves.
Thank You.
sighned,
Used To Be A Fan
HEY JUST WANNA SAY I HOPE JAY COMES TO THE HOOD FOR SOME OF HIS ARTIST BECAUSE SOME OF HIS PEOPLE ARE THROWING HARD AND CANT FIND A RECORD COMPANY OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER TO CARRY THEM AND RESORT TO THE STREETS.
SO HOPEFULLY JAY BRINGS HOPE BACK TO THE NYC HOODS AND PICKS UP SOME ARTIST FROM THE FIVE BOROUGHS AND BEYOND.
I SAW JAY IN SPEED AND HE WAS REAL NEUTRAL AND CAME THROUGH BY HISELF , I RESPECT AND WISH HIM AND HIS FAMILY ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
