My Favorite Verse - J. Cole

I woulda picked one of dem joints off "Lights Please" but I guess his opinion on his music is more important than mine, huh?

Whitney Houston speaks to Ms. Winfrey

The actual interview will air today. This is a preview. I heard that Whitney album was nothing special but she is at the point now where she is more fun to hear talk than sing.

Jay-Z Interview w/ Bill Maher

In case you missed the show on Friday here is Jay's interview with Bill Maher. It was pretty interesting, but I hoped that they would have talked about Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, and The Game. This was more like an interview for people who might not be really familiar with Jay. But, the "Book of Rhymes" was a great gift. It looked like War and Peace!



Props to Dime Wars.

What City Has the Best Lyricists???

This is going to be looked into further at a later date on this site. Because NY should be #1, but Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, and Los Angeles will have a great argument for #2-#5. I'm feeling a Top 10 list coming soon............

Grown adults don't get $50,000 in a year, someone please explain what any child needs with that much cash.

Drake Says "Run This Town" Was Originally a Rihanna Record

THIS IS JAY-Z DAY!

It was recently brought to my attention that Jay-Z jacked the "Run This Town" record from Rihanna. According to Drizzy:

"I think Jay made a great choice," he (Drake) says. "I think the 'Run This Town' song is phenomenal. I think Kanye kills that s---. I actually heard that song when it was a Rihanna track."

When I first heard the track, the hook was the thing that stayed with me. And Rihanna gets about 30 seconds at the end of the song to showcase her voice. This is similar to what happened to the "Must Be Love" joint that Day26 recorded and then ended up as a single for Cassie and Diddy. I'm hoping Drake will still make the cut for Blueprint 3 and I'm looking forward to September 11th.

Jay-Z Interview with DJ Semtex

If Mickey Factz does not somehow end up on Roc Nation I'm gonna be pissed!

Pat Buchanan is Must See TV

So everyone else in the world says that Sotomayor is the "most" qualified appointee in the history of the Supreme Court. But, Pat says she is unqualified and an Affirmative Action pick. Strike one. She's never written anything that "he" has read. Strike two and this one was waaaaaaay too easy! And I'm not even going to do a STRIKE THREE on the whole white people built the country comment. That would be like fighting with a three year-old. If it wasn't for slavery this country would be so far behind the rest of the world it's appalling. You get hundreds of thousands of people to give you free work for over 400 years. That's how you get ahead. I love watching stuff like this because it really lets me know how some people think. We all knew Pat Buchanan had issues with race. And I'm not one to call someone a racist becuase they are against Affirmative Action or because they are proud to be a white male or whatever. We all have, and SHOULD have, different views on the world. But, this guy is really making it hard to not deserve the R-Word. At least he gave black people props on running track! That's a compliment, right? I'd write more on this, but I'm getting heated just listening to this. I'M OUT!

Joey and Meth Are Now Cool

Make peace, not war.

Candace Parker on PTI

All I have to say is "Way to go Shelden Williams!" Being married to Candace >>>>>>> Riding the bench in the NBA.

Drake on the Angie Show

Is this the future of interviews with rappers in the years to come? You know, rappers that can complete setences without saying "Knowwhatimsayin" and "Nahmean". The Chop Up favorite, Drake gives a really good interview here and I'm pretty sure you will hear a single from the kid soon.
