11/17/06 - 4 new videos in the A/V section

11/12/06 - SNICKA's Kingdom Come Review:

I'm going to do it track by track:

1. The Prelude (Produced by B-Money) - Typical Jay Z intro that we are all used to on chill laid-back beat. His very first words go at all those gunnin for his spot: "The Game's f*cked up, niggas beats is banging, nigga ya hooks that did it, ya lyrics didn't, ya gangsta look did it."

Jay reiterates that's he's not a rapper, but a hustler who happens to rap. "Forget this rap shit, i need a new hustle/ a little bit of everything, the new improved Russell."

2. Oh My God (Produced By Just Blaze) - This is the crazy Just Blaze beat to let Jigga go lyrical on. For all those that Show Me Got was lyrically weak and anticipated that the whole album would be, this is to shut y'all up.

3. Kingdom Come (Produced By Just Blaze) - You've heard this already, the lyricism continues...PURE FIRE!!!

4. Show Me What You Got (Produced By Just Blaze) - You've also heard this, how could you not?

5. Lost Ones (Feat. Chrissette Michelle) (Produced By Dr. Dre) -You should've heard this as well. It's on Heat Rock. It's an introspective Jay joint.

The first verse talks about the Roc-a-fella break up. My favorite line: "I heard muhf*ckas sayin they made Hov/Made Hov? say ok so make another Hov." Straight to the point: Dame you wouldn't be who you are if it weren't for me.

Verse 2 is about Beyonce. Many speculated there was trouble like 'is Jay dumping B?' but that is not the case. He basically addresses the age difference and how busy their careers are.

Verse 3 is about Jay's nephew Colleek who passed away in a car accident. The car that Jay bought for him. Until now Jay had never addressed the issue publicly.

6. Do U Wanna Ride (Feat. John Legend) (Produced By Kanye West) - A letter to his locked up homey, Emory. The message is simple, keep your head up homey, we are doin our thing, and when you get out, you gonna  ride with us. The track is subpar, I expected more from Kanye. John Legend kills it though.

7. 30 Something (Produced By Dr. Dre) - The maturation of Jay Z: "30's the new 20 nigga i'm so hot still/Better broad, better automobile. Bet a yard, naw bet a hundered mil, that by this song's end i probably start another trend."

My favorite line "I'm afraid of the future/Y'all respect the one who got shot, I respect the shooter."

It doesn't matter how old he is, you're not gonna reach his level....ever.

8. I Made It (Produced By DJ Khalil) - "Mama I made it." You get the idea

9. Anything (Feat. Usher & Pharrell) (Produced By The Neptunes) - This is the strip club track. It's got the Neptunes bounce, Usher on the hook and Jay rapid fire flow (see Big Pimpin, Jigga What and Is That Yo Chick).  Definitely gonna be a ladies favorite, club banger, and probably the 2nd single with an ill Hype Williams video.

10. Hollywood (Feat. Beyoncé) (Produced By Scyience) - Jay addresses all the paparazzi attention over a bouncy track and a flow that reminded me of a Fergie/MIssy old school type of flow. He calls Hollywood "the most addictive drug in the world." This is one of the better Jay/B collabos.

11. Trouble (Produced By Dr. Dre) - A dope Timbaland sounding beat by Dre. Jay addresses certain rumors like having a baby by Free (of 106 &  Park fame),

12. Dig A Hole (Feat. Sterling Simms) (Produced By Swizz Beatz) - Jay gets at Dame and Cam, although w/o saying any names on this infectious Swizz beat. "Silent partner, i hear you loud and clear/Left your fingerprint, you ain't gotta be there." Insinuating that Dame was behing the Cam diss. "Why kill the puppet and leave Geppeto alive"

And then he goes at Cam:

”Hov gonna get you, I ain’t forget your lil disprespect/No ho daddy gonna spank you for that sh*t you said.  It’s hard to do when you got nothing to prove/Everybody know you better, you in a lose-lose. Cuz even when you win ultimately you lose/Real niggaz like ‘why hov talking to dude?’. He’s sellin low 2’s, only time you went plat/my chain was on your neck that’s a natural fact. So I’m praying that it spills outside of the booth/that’s when y’all niggas outside of your truth, outside of your league, that’s not what you do/niggas throwing roc signs outside of your coupe. Don’t’ look at Hov like he done something wrong to him/cuz he’s on to him, he just took what belongs to him. Niggas playin checkers with chess playin Hov/This game is over, I don’t know if y’all know, you in the hole.”

13. Minority Report (Feat. Ne-Yo) (Produced By Dr. Dre) - This is Jay's political track on the subject of Hurricane Katrina and it's aftermath. Jay goes at the government for the lack of action, but also blames himself even though he donated a mil.

"Sure I ponied up a mil, but i didn't give the time/So in reality i didn't give a dime or a damn. I just put my monies in the hand of the same people that left my people stranded."

The song is complete with news sound bytes including Kanye's "George Bush doesn't care about black people." I can picture Weezy being on the remix.

14. Beach Chair (Feat. Chris Martin) (Produced By Chris Martin) - I was wondering how a beat made from Coldplay dude would sound. Well it sounds pretty ill. Introspective Jay is at it again, this is the same vein as Regrets, he's contemplating his life comparing it to a dream. This is easily one of my favorite tracks on the album.

I give the album a 4 out of 5.....I think XXL mag will give it a XXL cuz they been jockin jay for the last 2 months...Expect a 4 mic rating from the Source. My favorite Jay album is Reasonable Doubt, followed by Blueprint and Kingdom Come would be 3rd.

The album is in stores Tuesday November 21, 2006. There will be 3 versions:

1. The Standard Version which will include a 2nd disc containing 3 songs from Reasonable Doubt, which are: "Politics As Usual", "Can't Knock The Hustle", and "Can I Live".

2. The Deluxe Version which will include a 2nd disc DVD with footage from the Jay Z show in London (w/ Nas, Beyonce, Gwenyth Paltrow)

3. The iTunes version which includes the studio version of 44 4's (the live version is of course on Deja Vu?

 

11/1/06 - SNICKA - Heat Rock

 

10/31/06 -

Got my advance of The Game - The Doctor's Advocate. Here are my thoughts after a quick listen:

1. As previously reported, Dr. Dre did not produce any tracks on this album. All the producers (Just Blaze, JR Rotem, Scott Storch, Hi-Tek, etc.) who did make tracks on the album  all tried to do their best Dre impression

2. Most of the beats are straight Chronic-like bangers

3. The Game's vocal tone is awfully similar to Dre's

4. I don't understand why will.i.am from the black eyed peas is on the album, let alone a track called Compton

5. The Game proved his point that he can really do it w/o Dre or 50

6/27/06 - The New York Times has a recap of the concert

6/26/06 - Jay Z's 10th Anniversary Reasonable Doubt show last night was off the hook!

Here are some pics from my camera phone and some images i got off my boy eskay @ nahright.com:

The curtains went up and no one sat down for the rest of the show. There was a full orchestra accompanying Questlove's Illadelphonics band. Jay rolled out in the 90's white Lexus rocking a white suit.

Jay performed Reasonable Doubt backwards, meaning he started with the last track, Regrets and ended with the first track, Can't Knock the Hustle.

The crowed was treated to a bonus after 22 Two's. Jay kicked 44 Four's which went a lil something like this:

Roc-A-Fella 4ever
Hov, 4 life
Debut, classic first album, 4 mics
Should have got a five, but niggas lack 4sight
But I don’t give a fuck, I ain’t do it 4 the hype
I did it 4 the hustlers, 4 the ghettos, 4 their plight
4 the struggle 4 those who bubble white
4 fly 4x4s, ruthless cars, 4 all this ice
4 the pain so y’all can feel what it’s like
4 all the times it rained, 40 days, 40 nights
4 all the promise made, that never came to the light
I get my own 40 acres, give me 4 nights, 4 O’s
And clock 40 4 the jackets and I’m Spike
Or the 4x4 will suffice
A 14 year old to lookout 4 the vice
And y’all can sit back and just wait 4 the flight
Your boy will takeoff like I’ve been stripping all my life
That’s the type of 4s I write
But let niggas know I was real be4 the mic
4 front rows, had the fur at the fight
No PETA on my Peter, left some room 4 the divas
In the suite we’ll meet up if you wild 4 the night
I’m on the rampage, champagne pours on the floor
4 all those who ain’t make it here
And lost their life
I never 4get y’all 4 any price
Not 4 no hoes, not 4 no ice
Not 4 no fame, nor 4 bright lights
So I’ma end this here
This as fly as kite
44 4’s, motherfucker, I’m nice

props to eskay for the lyrics. you can catch the youtube of Jay rehearsing the verse the night before

Before the show, everyone was wondering if Foxy Brown would come out to perform Ain't No Nigga considering she had gone deaf. She came out and rocked it and at the end Jay said "Obviously, the surgery was a sucess."

Also on everyone's mind was how Brooklyn's Finest would be performed. Jigga ended up rhyming his and Biggie's verses while images of BIG were put up on the screens. The band then seque-wayed into the music for "Brooklyn Zoo" when Jay Z then led the crowd through Biggie's infamous verse from Come On: "I got 7 mack 11's, about 8 38's, 9 9's, 10 mack 10's..."

Beyonce came out for Can't Knock The Hustle singing Mary's parts.

 

 

Then the curtains went down and some people started to leave. I knew better, i stayed put cuz i knew it was not over. Then they announced that Jay Z would be back in 10 minutes.

 

And sure enough, 10 minutes later Jay came back with "What More Can I Say." The orchestra and Illedelphonics were gone. It was just Jay, Bleek and Just Blaze as the DJ.

 

Jay rocked through all the hit singles from his catalog and often times told Just to turn off the music so he can spit his verses acapella. he wanted the crowed to listen and just focus on his lyrics.

And of course, Jay ended the show with "Encore" leaving us all wanting more...

In case you missed the show, don't worry, it'll be released as a DVD soon.

and oh yeah, everyone got a free gift bag with Reasonable Doubt T-shirt, poster and special XXL edition of the making of Reasonable Doubt.

1/24/06 - Happy Birthday Sheena!!!

1/23/06 - It's Official, Jay Z signs Nas to Def Jam

New York Times Article

MTV Article

1/5/06 - Happy New Year Y'all. Hopefully 2006 will be a good year for music. Check out my picks for artists to really blow up in 06:

1. Neyo - signed to Def Jam, he's penned songs for Mario, Usher, Mary J and more. Look out for his new joint "So Sick"
2. Joe Budden - also signed to Def Jam who keep pushing his sophmore album back. Dude spits some real introspective sh*t, but Def Jam keeps fishing for that radio single. Hopefully Jay can guide him to superstardom. I pick Joe to be Jay's successor in this rap thing. Peep the track "3 Sides To Every Story."
3. Robin Thicke - now that he's messin with the Neptunes, look for homey to crossover and blow up. His new joint "Wanna Love You" is straight FIRE!! And oh yeah, he's Alan Thicke's son (father from Growing Pains).
4. Akon - like Guru said back in the day "It's mostly the voice..." he's already taken the hook crown from Nate Dogg in 05, but i expect him to do much bigger things in 06 with his production company (and more ill hooks)
5. Pitbull - i gotta admit, i caught on late but this guy's got flow and he's about to take over the 120 BPM uptempo hip hop party joints. Just listen to "Culo," "Shake," "Shake Remix," and "Toma."

9/8/03 - From MTV.com:

"If you've been listening to mixtapes lately and wondering why 50 Cent is rapping on two versions of a track called "Gunz for Sale," it's because the track was boosted from the G-Unit, according to the camp. A bootleg version of the song popped up on mixtapes with 50 just rapping the chorus and a new group called the A-Team rhyming the verses. The real version of the song, which will appear on the G-Unit's November 4 LP, has also just popped up in the streets and features 50 on the hook as well as the verses."
