Jay-Z Is Here To Stay….
August 7th, 2008
Get ready for an OVERDOSE of President Carter aka Ice Berg Slim aka Young Turbo aka The God MC aka Jay Hova but bka (better known as) JAY-Z! On my way to work, I took in all that is Vibe’s 15th Anniversary issue. I can tell you from FRONT to BACK, that had to be one of the best magazine issues I’ve read to DATE. Even sans the Jay feature, that issue STILL reigned supreme in my eyes.
However, with the Jay feature, it made it THAT much better to take in. Elliot Wilson, former Editor-In-Chief of XXL, dug extremely deep into Jay-Z’s twisted but intricate soul and found some goooood ish. From Beyonce to Lil Wayne to Dame Dash, Hova reveals what many of us have been pondering for the last 72 months (do the math, lol). Ready??? Alright, here we go….
Jay-Z on Dame Dash’s involvement in his feud with Cam’ron
“I’ve never said this before, but any second-guessing went away when Dame was participating in the whole beef [with Cam'ron]. Regardless, what we built was precious. At the end of the day, there’s still a respect in that. No matter WHAT! I’m not going to do or say certain things about Dame. That’s out of respect for what we’ve done. I’m not going to go too far. And I just felt like any participation in that, whether you could stop it or not, if you’re in the video or you’re on the set or you’re involved in that, then I pretty much made the right decision”
Jay-Z on confirming whether or not Beyonce and him are married
“That’s ridiculous for me to confirm. I don’t have….I’m gonna say, I think that was a ridiculous question. I just think it’s really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself. You have to, or you’ll go insane in this type of business. You have to have something that’s sacred to you and the people around you. I shared so much of my life, my childhood, and my family. the death of my nephew with the world. I should have something to hold on to. You need something for your sanity….to say ‘Okay, I could chill out, and this is it”
Jay-Z on Lil Wayne
“He first approached me as a fan. When he felt like he was close enough, he was like, ‘Maybe I can take his head off’ [laughs]—which is natural. I think he really is a fan of mine. I think he really loves the sh*t that I’ve done. But as a person, as a competitor, that’s only natural. There was a time when Kobe thought he could take Jordan. I admire that in a way, so I don’t see any reason not to get on the album. The public has him in line next, and for me to say he’s not in line next would be foolish. That’s what the public says. So, why not?”
Jay-Z on making his lyrical return with American Gangster
“AG set the foundation all over again, and it made everybody say, ‘Whoa, hold up for a second’. It quelled those arguments [that Jay had fell off], and those arguments were not founded. That’s just how it happens. That’s what keeps it fresh for me. I love that challenge. The day people just top and say, ‘He’s the greatest….Oh just forget it, there’s never going to be anyoen to touch him’. Once that’s everyone’s opinion, then that’s it for me”.
Wait, it’s not over. Remember that show I went to two nights ago? Well, Mr. Ye had another show off fest last night and guess who he brought out to play? Yep you guessed it, Big Brother Jay-Z. Oh but this wasn’t your regular, “letmebringjayzoutsopeoplecangobonkers” appearance, these two had a nice lil plan up their expensive sleeves. Toying with the emotions of every soul in the building, Kanye played a lil game of, “Name that tune”, and since obviously the tune was BRAND SPANKING NEW BORN BABY new, he brought out Mr.Z to assist in the sing a long festivities, lol. Scroll down just a bit, and download the first preview from Jay-Z’s new album, Blueprint 3….it’s called “Jocking Jay-Z” and of course produced by none other than, Kanye West.

LOW KEEZZZY,
GOOD STUFF, SIR.
I’VE SO FAR RESPECTED YOUR WORK, AND MANNERISM.
KEEP INSPIRING !!
THAT “CHILL BABY GIRL, MY GIRL IS IN HEREEEE !”, IS MY HEADLINE ON MYSPACE, LOL.
I gotta tell you man, Hov is a beast! I left him alone when the Nas Jigga Beef was hot, Nasir is still top notch to me in the Hip Hop game, Hov however is without question Nas equal, he’s a killer man. I respect Jay for keepin it discrete with his lady which is an awesome example for the Brotha’s to take a gander at and possibly model a bit, there’s a deeper allure to it when people don’t know everything your doing with everyone, it keeps the intensity in the relationship up. Since the God is too big of a man to say it, I’ll do the honors, I think what Dame pulled qualified for the (B.A.N) Love song Remix! I understand people having differences, and I understand business is business, but like Hov said, “put friends over business at the end of the day though,” and it’s disappointing to think Dame and all the time effort and sacrifice he and Hov put into the Roc he was willing to pawn it off to the latest trend, anyone in Hov’s position with any type of business sense and any type of loyalty to his creation would have done it exactly the same. Cam’ron is a good MC, but he’s not worthy of the Roc, and Dame has to know that somewhere in his heart. Furthermore, this was your man hundred grand Dame, how you let ANYTHING step between y’all, especially not no money, and of all people’s joc to get on, CAM’RON?!?!?! As far as Lil’ Weezie go, I love that lil dude man! He’s brought an energy and a sophistication to the game unmatched since Hov or Ye, or even Snoop (even though he’s more Gangsta), it’s good to hear Hov embrace him, unlike ya boy Fif who talked about breaking his neck! I can’t wait to see what the Carter boys have cooked up on the next album, which brings me finally to the next Hov album the Bluepirnt 3…If it’s anything in the neighborhood of American Gangster, Hip-Hop is without question alive and kickin!!!! YOUNG!!!!
YES MY BOO IS BACK
