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

Three “Hustle Hard” posts in a row? Damn, guess the third time is the charm. Anywho, Decatur Dan puts his directing duties towards Jeezy’s rendition of the hardest track out. Yup, it’s the hood street blues.

Yelawolf can get two XXL covers in a row and Rap Radar can post two “Hustle Hard” remakes in a row. Hey it’s our prerogative as Ortiz tacks a verse on Ace Hood’s monster hit. Yaowa!

Boom bye bye Buju. After 11 hours of deliberation, a Florida jury found reggae star Buju Banton guilty on cocaine charges. In December 2009, he was accused of intending to distribute more than five kilograms of coke. The case went to mistrial last September, but was retried earlier this month. A week ago, his LP, Before The Dawn won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album. Gargamel faces up to 20 years in prison.

On Sunday, industry muscle Steve Stoute took out a $40,000 advertorial in the Style section of theNew York Times to criticize the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. The Hollywood Reporter hollered at “The Commissioner” man, to get down to the bottom of it.
THR: And this speaks to your argument that the Grammys are out of touch? Stoute: You wanna know how out of touch they are? The photo they used for Jay-Z’s Record of the Year nomination, it’s 15 years old. That picture is from Reasonable Doubt, his first album in 1996 when Jay-Z looks 12!
THR: We’re estimating that the ad cost around $40,000, care to comment? Stoute: The ad was expensive, but the price pales in comparison to the torture that artists are going through. It wasn’t about spending that kind of money. It’s, how could you not make that statement
THR: Why the New York Times? Stoute: If I wrote that in a blog, would it be taken seriously? The New York Times Styles section was the right place because when you see it, you have to pay attention to it. It can’t go unnoticed. It’s very loud when you put it in that forum. Now, it’s become this open discussion online. I didn’t want it to be music industry-specific. I think it’s a larger topic, this generational divide.
