Sarcasm alert! Jay-Z.com

This pic was snapped yesterday of Mr. Barker and the Thorntons in the stu’. So far, Travis has collaborated with Lupe and Pharrell for his forthcoming solo album. Considering his relationship with Game, he’s probably featured on there too. In a recent interview with Spinner, it was reported that Lil Wayne, Beanie Sigel, and RZA have also been recruited to assist in the effort. Can we get a drum roll please!

More pop for breakfast! Further visual proof that’s Drake’s cut is the only good moment on Shock Value 2. Timbo fell off.

The “We Are The World” kid annoys me like Minaj’s crazy eyes. Oh well, Mr. Conjure’s on it so it deserves a post. Have some pop for breakfast.

Uncle Bun sounds pretty good here but this joint is lackluster. I don’t know what DeAndre’s doin’ on here. SMH. Where’s that classic Khaled promised us? TS

[vodpod id=Video.3076181&w=425&h=350&fv=] No suit this time, but for the second night in a row Elect conquered London Town. Don’t get him started on them levees. A cappella is so necessary. Semtex

Glad to see fuck boy Christopher on the right path. Earlier today, L.A. Superior Court Judge complimented Chris during his progress hearing in L.A. court. “Looks like you’re doing really, really well [fulfilling your probation terms]. That’s always good to see.” The Judge also revealed the R&B singer has completed 17 out of the 52 group sessions without missing one. He’s also completed 32 days of his 180 days of community service. Good job Breezy. I guess not everybody hates […]

Drake issued this statement regarding phony bookings. Drizzy is co-managed by Bryant Management and Hip Hop Since 1978 and is booked through International Creative Management. All confirmed appearances can be found here on his Myspace page. It has been brought to my attention that false promoters and booking agents are illegally using my name and likeness to promote concerts and club appearances for their own financial gain. It is frustrating for me to hear that many of my fans, who […]
