10 years ago, Nas was barred from Hot 97’s Summer Jam for wanting to lynch an effigy of Jay-Z. He later went on rival station Power 105.1 for his classic diatribe. In hindsight, this was a bad idea.
Before “Niggas In Paris“, Jay and Ye gave the concertgoers hours of countless hits. Above they open up the set with “H.A.M.”. A few more clips after the break. We see you, Terius.
You always wanted it in Paris, right? Well during their tour stop at the Palais Omnisports Paris Bercy, Jay and Ye performed their hit in its rightful place for the very first time. Actually, 11 times! Merci, YN. Sidebar: Jay-Z On Performing Track In Paris
There’s a riot in Prague. Under the direction of Romain Gavras, Jay and Ye get rebellious for the album’s third video. Occupy all streets and cop Watch The Throne here.

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.1018849&w=540&h=350&fv=] Hov kept it plain and simple—but sharp with the Brooklyn Nets logo. During his chat with MTV, the franchise’s co-owner said vintage NY subway signs were his muse. “I wanted to make it really classic and strong; a throwback to Brooklyn and what we’re about. It’s real gritty and we’re not about flash — well, sometimes. Just the roots of Brooklyn as this very bold, strong, simple logo. It was really a take off the old subway signs, if […]
[vodpod id=Video.16473739&w=540&h=350&fv=] Somewhere between fantasy and reality lies the release date of Jay Electronica’s debut album. Is the album complete? Jay-Z tells MTV that his protege’s project is amazing. We’ll just keep waiting.
[vodpod id=Groupvideo.11415578&w=450&h=350&fv=] Hov pulled up a seat with CNN after his press conference yesterday and says he supports Obama’s gay marriage proposal and compares the opposition to discrimination against us colored people. Sidebar: MTV l Rolling Stone
Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
