Like I told you, “sell drugs”…
Rocking Tom Ford, Jay-Z cleans up nice on the front of Vanity Fair‘s November issue. In the cover story, Hov discusses family, his Forbes estimated worth and his drug dealing past.
You probably don’t need a reminder but Anthony Mandler is a great video director. Here he remixes and screws and chops the JZ/JT collabo to create a gripping visual. Are you happy Rick Rubin?
Hov and The Bawse have made beautiful music together before (“Free Mason”, “3 Kings”) but there’s something substantial and special about this gem from the Magna Carta Holy Grail.
Is he gonna ever fall off? Apparently not. Dropping unexpectedly like bird shit, Shawn Carter shook up the world with Samsung who allowed him to release his 12th solo album on the fourth of July to a million of their mobile customers. Pardon him Billboard, that’s already platinum in our book.
Attention holiday shoppers. Jay-Z has partnered with Barneys for a limited edition line. Featuring collaborations from Lanvin, Balenciaga, Balmain, Proenza Schouler, Rick Owens and Moncler; the collection will be available from November 20th through January 2, 2014. A quarter of the proceeds will benefit the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.
Pardon their backs. With a combined total of $78 million from May 2011 to May 2012, Bey ($40 million) and Jay ($38 million) tops the Forbes list as the highest paid celebrity couple.
After running through Summer with Justin Timberlake, it’s the winter’s turn. Starting November 30th, Jay-Z will hit the road for the 34 dates. Tickets go on sale September 12th via LiveNation and Ticketmaster. l+t
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
