The song is called "Watch What You Say," so in the spirit of sticking to themes, Hov seized the opportunity to put loud-mouth adversaries in their place. Absolutely one of the best post-retirement verses from the 2007 Camel Cameo King.
Oh yeah, let's add Tip to the long list of rappers who've been murdered on their own tracks by Jay.
(Shout out to whoever ripped it from hiphopdx.com)
President Carter will be featured on 2 of the 20 covers in the upcoming July issue of Vanity Fair. Shot by Annie Liebovitz, the famed photographer who captured a pose with John Lennon and Yoko Ono mere hours before he was shot and killed, as well as the stirring photo of Tupac in Suge's car in Vegas (okay, fine, maybe that wasn't her), the covers feature Hov's homies, actor George Clooney and R&B songstress Alicia Keys. Also featured are presidential hopeful Barack Obama, presidential nopeful George Bush, and many others. Who reads Vanity Fair? Nobody! But if you'd like to get educated on matters concerning the state of affairs in Africa, this issue may be the one for you.
Fabolous ft. Jay-Z (and Uncle Murder) - "Brooklyn" A couple months ago, when I interviewed Fabolous, I asked him if there was a "Brooklyn" collabo with the big homie on his new album From Nothin' to Somethin'. He said, "I would love that. You oughtta ask him that question too. Of course I would be open to that. I definitely respect Jay's lyricism and what he's done for the game, everything that he's contributed. If the opportunity presents itself, I would love it."
A can of worms spilled all over the interwebs last night, revealing a bunch of Doctor's Advocate 'throwaways' (unreleased gems would be more apropos) produced by Dr. Dre. On this here, one of the previously unreleaked joints, Game hauls some shrapnel-edged insults at all the people who can murk him businesswise (50 Cent), lyricwise (Jay-Z), and physicalwise (Suge Knight). (I excluded the latter two from this post's title because Game has fired shots at them before.) To the best of my knowledge, this is technically the first official, non-subliminal, full-fledged Jay-Z diss from JT.
My telepathic sources tell me that Hov is weighing his rebuttal options as we speak--script a Summer Jam Slaughter (starring JT in 'Change of Hearts'); or give him the Cam'ron treatment?
What would you do if you were in Jay's size 13 S.Dots?
Jay manages to bolster this single without necessarily stealing Rih-Rih's sunshine in the clip.
Now, I wonder if Jennifer Hudson would be kind enough to let Rihanna borrow her McDonald's pass for 3 months, because she could definitely use a few hamburgers.
“Umbrella, ” produced by C. Tricky Stewart, is the first single from Rihanna's third album, due out June 5th release.
You know they just had to spin those romance rumors into a collabo somewhere down the line. Hate on her all you want, Rihanna sounds a lot more mature on this.
