As my man Dave says ” I love to hate on him, but this is pretty cool”. Check out Jay walk through his own album art history. See what you can do with a shit ton of money?

Here is the Class of 08. All in. Anyone that represented the state of Hip Hop in the latter half of the 1st decade of the 21st century was on stage at last nights Grammy’s. I’m not a fan of all of them and surprised that I actually am fans of some of these artist. Although an album may have violated every natural god given use for auto-tune I still recognize an artist right to force it upon the populous.

What is of note, is how far women have come in Hip Hop. At one point they were relegated to backing up their male counter parts, Singing about their male counter parts, stashing their guns or hiding their sexual proclivities. M.I.A. blew the doors off of all preconceived notions of female rappers should look like or rap about.

Good luck pushin out that baby Maya.

Well maybe not Christmas shopping, but he is clearing out his desk at Island Def Jam. He has resigned from his post as Universal Music Group Def Jam President. Jay had the gig for 3 years and did not have a bad run. Apparently Rihanna’s “Umbrella” was some kind of big hit this year. He will also continue to release records on his Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam label….Unless he retires again. Are they going to post that open position on Linkedin?
