Jay-Z and Will Smith have combined their forces again and created a new venture that will produce and develop films. No word on the name of the entity, but the tandem plan to bring Annie to the big screen starring Will’s daughter, Willow. According to Hov: “The Overbrook Entertainment family and I have a unified vision. We’ve already produced a Tony Award winning play and we’re developing a true superstar in Willow.  This venture into film development and production is […]

WATCH THE THRONE COMING IN 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!! MY NEW ALBUM COMING THIS SUMMER. ALL THE LIGHTS VIDEO IN 1 WEEK!!!!!! THIS IS HIGH END RAP MUSIC Two months after the release of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye announced via his Twitter account that his sixth album is on the way this summer. He also confirmed that his collaboration project with Jay-Z, Watch The Throne is coming in March. The spring is his.

[sparkart-clique site=”rap_radar” video=”jayzoprah”] During Hov’s Australian run with U2 late last year, he stopped by Oprah Winfrey’s show. They discussed his bestseller Decoded and her ah-ha moments after reading. Below the jump, Jay surprises an all boy school in Sydney.

All Photos: DeAndre DaCosta So about last night: I officially kissed the 30s goodbye at the Spotted Pig with my family and a select few friends and colleagues. Yup, the food and that open bar was something special (My aching dome piece!). Anyways, special thanks to Shirea Carroll a.k.a. Ms Invite Only, my lovely wife Danamo, photographer DeAndre DaCosta and young H.O. for breakin’ my 100% rapper free rule. I forgive ya! Ha!

Although Kanye said “Watch The Throne coming in one week, nigga” on New Year’s, a lil’ birdie told Andrew over at FSD, that said project would be dropping on Tuesday, March 1st. If it means anything, the duo met yesterday at the Mercer Hotel in SoHo. Maybe they were deciding the first single. Check the YBF for a few pics.

Earlier today, Oprah launched her new network OWN and premiered her new series with Jay-Z as her first feature. The episode focused on Jay’s childhood, his come up, his formula of writing music and everything else in between. More after the jump. jose3030

Man, he told ya it would be a best seller. For the week of Dec. 5th, Jay-Z’s memoir Decoded debuts at number three on the New York Times Best Seller, hardcover non fiction list. He trails Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken and George Bush’s Decision Points. On  a related front, dream hampton sounds off about her role with the project. I’m am NOT mad Jay isn’t yappin about me in friggin interviews. Being famous is corny, I feel sorry for my famous […]

YAF strikes again and comes through with new material from Kanye West and Jay-Z. It’s co-produced by Q-Tip with La Roux on the hook. Presumably, it’s off their upcoming album, Watch The Throne. It sounds incomplete, but we don’t count on Hov referring to a dog this time around. UPDATE: No tags. diverse
