Man, miss me with the fake Jay and B quotes already. Headlines. Some of you sites will do anything for attention and traffic. You really believed B would speak to Star magazine? Tuck your tabloid in. And why would Hov need to write a letter to his daughter? Bitch please. He wrote a song! It's called "Glory" and it's pretty fuckin' revealing. He went on the record (double entendre) but you still don't get it. You may hear baby Blue's first cries but no you don't know her height, weight or what she looks like. And no you ain't gettin' a flick, fool. Can new parents get some privacy? Even if they are celebrities. Sheesh! Who raised you animals? Party at the 40/40. Paps outside. Rushin' the velvet rope. Don't trip over your integrity.
You Played Yourself

Foxy speaks in her native tongue over Gyptian’s summertime hit. For those having a hard time deciphering her lyrics, it appears she’s lickin’ a shot at Nicki Minaj (Bad gyal, mi nuh wear pink hair) and Lil’ Kim (bleached out face). Lawdamercy.

Jay-Z continued his Decoded promo run on Michael Eric Dyson‘s radio program. He more less reiterated the spiel from previous interviews, but here’s how MED broke it down.
In this penetrating interview, Jay-Z shares insight into his childhood in Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects, past life of hustling on the streets, the often overlooked and underestimated intellectual depth and complexity of rap music, the misogynistic lyrics in some hip-hop songs, and offers thoughtful and heartfelt advice to young people who also have suffered the pain of missing the fathers in their lives.

With Nicki’s debut Pink Friday arriving next Monday, The Wall Street Journal took a look at the rapper’s upbringing in Queens and conquest to rule the world. Word to Madonna.
“Hip hop to me is so much more than New York and L.A., or one place or one borough or one city,” said the rapper, who was born in Trinidad and grew up in Jamaica, Queens. “I mean, I love being from New York—I’m from Queens, and that’s where I represent. But to me, hip-hop culture is a state of mind.”
“Everyone has inspired me,” she said. “When I was little [and] I was watching videos, I didn’t know where Monie Love was from; or where Slick Rick was from. I didn’t know Salt-N-Pepa were from Queens until later in my life. I don’t compare myself to any other New York female emcees.”
