I’ve already talked a bit about Coldplay’s “Lost+” remix by Jay-Z, back sometime in October. Like I said before, it isn’t anything too extravagant, like Jay-Z’s ‘Encore’ with Linkin Park, but rather something just different - a well received diversification.
The video for Lost+ just came out a few hours ago and frankly, on this department, [...]
Call it foresight, high statistical measurement or simply woman’s intuition, but it seems Jay-Z put his bets right, as far as the recent US elections are concerned.
Right after the 5th of November and the consequent Obama presidential victory, there were hundreds of bands flooding the Internet with various victory songs - Jay didn’t go any [...]
Lost is definitely my favorite song off “Viva la Vida,” Coldplay’s latest record, released at the beginning of the summer. It’s somewhat dark vibe, amplified by the beautiful dark church-like organ, makes it beautifully haunting and melodic.
“Lost+” is one of the four tracks featured on the Lost single out on November 10 (the other songs [...]
Last week’s Jay-Z dope appearance on the Madison Square garden stage, next to Kanye, proved to be a shocker for the whole rap scene. That was the coup de grâce of ultimate marketing stunts. The perfect entry and the perfect announcement for the new album, Blueprint 3. However, in all the commotion and all, I [...]
Boy, that Jay-Z sure knows how to make an entrance. Yesterday night, during Kanye West’s show in NY’s Madison Square Garden, our very own Shawn Carter (Jay-Z for you fools) made his way around the stage on a avalanche of beats and introduced what’s now officially The Blueprint 3, his latest, upcoming album produced by [...]
Organizers of one of Britain’s best-known music festivals on Tuesday have backed up their decision to keep Jay-Z as the headline, despite the complaints received from several rock stars, “headlined” by Noel Gallagher. The outdoor Glastonbury festival is really important for brits, and well… most just don’t think it’s right to have a rap artist [...]

In 1996 [tag]Jay-Z[/tag] came out with a gem called Reasonable Doubt. Tales of hustling, drugs, and money were on the surface of this classic album. Looking deeper you hear tales of infidelity, and sever paranoia. Since then [...]
Not too many shocking releases this week, but there are a few that are certain to hold a central spot on your iPod for a pretty long time. Highlights include [tag]Jay-Z[/tag]’s much awaited post-”retirement” LP American Gangster, inspired by the same titled movie. It seems hip-hop holds this weeks monopoly, in terms of new records, [...]
[tag]Jay-Z[/tag] is not retiring again. Or he is not retiring. In fact he went to Brooklyn to give fans an early listen to some of the music on his upcoming album, “American Gangster.” Jay-Z, along with a full band, performed several tracks from the album inspired by the upcoming Denzel Washington-Russell Crowe flick.
“American Gangster,” in [...]
