And after the original it is probably this? Premiered earlier on Cosmic Kev’s Philly Power 99 show is the alternate version with the scrapped verse from Hov. Radio rip for now via KYITL. UPDATE: CDQ with no verse from Meek,

While Nas takes Radio City, Coldplay announced that they will be playing alongside Jay-Z at the Barclays Center on December 31st and the night before. Tickets go on sale November 17 on Live Nation. This marks the second time the tandem performed on New Year’s Eve. In 2010, they headlined the grand opening of The Cosmopolitan in Vegas with guests Kanye, Beyoncè and John Mayer.

More plaques on plaques for Jay and Ye. Last month, their single “Otis” from their platinum album, Watch The Throne, was certified 1 million units in sales. Otis scream to that. mr.carter.org

Rush Limbaugh’s back on Jay-Z’s balls. Following Hov’s performance at Barack Obama’s Ohio pep rally yesterday, Rush criticized “Mr. Z” for his lyrical content. He then goes on to recite the opening verse from “99 Problems”. Hilarious—even if Jigga doesn’t give a shit. ‘plex

Dame Dash has kept a low profile these days, but a few weeks back, Sharon Carpenter caught up with him for Global Grind. After discussing his businesses ventures, he says that he’s proud of Jay-Z (and Kanye West). When asked about he and Hov’s current personal relationship though, he’s reluctant to divulge. Only Dr. Phil can squash this!

Jay’s got 99 problems, but Mitt ain’t one. With election day tomorrow, Hov performed this afternoon at our President’s rally in Columbus, OH. Obama should have joined in too. Ha! Additional footage below. Four more years!

The Brooklyn Nets won their season opener against the Toronto Raptors yesterday at the Barclays Center. Following the game, Nets owner Jay-Z,spoke on the victory and devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Reflecting on the first game in Brooklyn and thinking about the hurricane.  Thinking about being undefeated and all the losses/wins that lie ahead. Life will always throw adversity and tragedy at us. We remain resilient! Heartfelt prayers go out to those who lost their lives and to the families who […]

While on the campaign trail this week, President Obama phoned

The documentary of the Barclays Center continues

In support of the Shawn Carter Foundation,

Don’t attempt to adjust your player. In slow mo, Hov puffs a cuban with a glass of his D’USSE VSOP for the cognac drink’s new ad. Cheers.

[youtube-http://youtu.be/cPa76DrWiUE] It’s politics as usual as Jay-Z gives an endorsement for President Barack Obama’s re-election. The second round of debates takes place tomorrow at 9:00 PM EST. Rock the vote November 6th.

We can’t either. Frank Ocean’s facial expression says it all folks. On another note, Beat Billionaire just submitted beats to Jay. New album coming soon, Hov?

It’s been 18 years since Jay-Z rode the subway. True story. In fact, he told Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg that he wished he could’ve rode the train to his Yankee Stadium concerts. Well, he got his wish. Yesterday afternoon, Hov ditched the Maybach and hopped aboard the R line for his final concert at the Barclays Center. Stand clear of the closing doors—and crazy ass fans. necolebitchie

Hov closed out his concert series last night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. After reciting “’03 Bonnie & Clyde”, he brought out his ol’ lady for “Diva” and “Crazy In Love”. Later, she returned for “Young Forever”. You can check out his entire performance here.

I mean, what more can I say? Pre-order here. To commemorate the closing night of his historic sold-out 8 (eight) show run opening Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, JAY Z is releasing “LIVE IN BROOKLYN,” a live 8 (eight) song audio /visual optic EP. “LIVE IN BROOKLYN,” filmed and recorded during the Saturday, October 6th concert will be available Tuesday, October 9, 2012 exclusively on iTunes. UPDATE: Pushed back to October 11.

Hov wraps his eight concert run tonight at the Barclays Center. But before he does, MTV asked a few rappers for their favorite Jay-Z performance song. If you’re not lucky enough to attend tonight, the show will be streamed via Hov’s new Life+Times YouTube channel at 9:30 pm EST.
