who cares? i don’t listen to that crappy rap music anyway.

1st????

but if he does, i hope he takes his puppy beyonce with him.

He needs to retire those damn socks!!!!! LMAO!!!!! No, but really, Jay-Z does need to retire. Al of his new songs are WACK!!!!! The only reason that “Rock Boys” song is hot is because of Kanye. Folks were more excited about the release of Kanye and 50′s album than they are about this album. I like the old “BEFORE BEYONCE” Jay-Z. This new improved nigg@ is wack and his verses are very BLAH!!!! And hearing him talk about dope and when he was in the dope game is just as boring. http://www.stylerazzi.blogspot.com

nobody wants to hear from a “label president” rappin period, especially rappin about selling drugs.

Jay-Ova? Probably not, but dare to dream.

i don’t understand why this man has to quit doing what he loves. if you don’t like his music then don’t buy it. his music is not only his business it is also how he expresses his creativity. I have never heard of forcing an artist to put his brush down or stop sculpting b/c he is 38 years old. that is just stupid!!!

there is plenty of room for Jay-Z, Kanye, Lupe and Soulja Boy and anybody else. why does it have to be one or the other. white folks put out all kinds of music all the time. they don’t have one favorite at a time for rock or country or whatever. open up your minds to more than one thing at a time.

damn..can you walk and chew gum at the same time?

Stop hatin’

Sign of the times..LOL Lets get some new blood in there!

To quote American Gangster the movie…

“Quitting while you’re head is not the same thing as quitting.”

…Sat Down Hova…

*ahead** excuse me.

Jay-Z…the next Cosby

hey! that rhymes, ima rapper

Based on things he has said in the past, I think he was interested in retiring (from rapping at least), but because Bey was just getting her game on, he decided he might as well stay in it too. If she ever decides to slow down, he might really retire. Otherwise, he’d just be waiting around for her.

He needs to quit while he still have some fans!! Or quit once everybody label him as whack!!!

30 seconds his concert sold out! That’s all I have to say ppl!

Jay is paid…POINT DAMN BLANK!

What’s up w/ the socks???

The socks are tight. Should they be something more basic and boring?

Ya’ll mufukas talking about socks are probably the biggest bammas in the world.

Jay-z needs to shut it down , please you are like 40, your game is over. I dont give a damn about whack ass NY. Broke folks in BK, Bronx, Queens, dont rep brokeness, not good. Give other people a chance in the game. Tha South got music now. North-WHACK SIT DOWN

all he needs is a cliff huxtable sweater

there haven’t been ANY great rappers since Another Bad Creation

Its tha Mizark, Chillin in the Pizark

I gotta break cuz my mama said be home by dizark…

poetry at its best!

yeah son!

Until new artists come out with something better, Jay-Z needs to stay in the game.

Dam Dash is another Irv he’ll have a reality show soon. His wife was going to leave him til’ she slipped up and got knocked up. Dumb @ss!

“We think those sold out Amercian Gangster concerts were probably some scalpers and Def Jam. What’s wrong with leaving the game as a legend-with your head help up high vs people pushing your old ass off the mic?”

LOL! I think the best thing about this site is the commentary that the staff writes below the stories.

An industry insider says, “He is scrambling – the first single, ‘Black Magic,’ isn’t being played on radio. It’s the first time in his career he’s not doing well.” LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Dame Dash says Hov is wack and should retire and then jumps on a track with the W.O.A.T(wackest of all time) Jim Jones. WTF!

LMAO! This is who yall are getting your hip hop info from?

KIll yourselves.

Jaz’y is giong to keep grinding thoes albulms because Mofu’s are giong to buy them who buy’s the majorty of rap? it’s theos White Folks Thoes are giong to be the one’s to keep the dude in the game

He’s not my cup of tea but that’s what that is hell if they buy god bless him and spicy creole kepp making thoes duets like Asford &Simpson of the rap game just like she have her stans thid dude have his .

Jay needs to sit his old azz down!!!!!!He will be eligible for social security and his ass will be still rappin…LOL

forgot to say how wack that interviewer’s skills were…

you may want to come prepared to work rather than throwing SHEETY questions out as soft balls. she str8 Jason Kidd’ed Dame questions off the back board so he could give us some ol’ blase answers. quit worring about rather or not he’ll ‘like’ it or not and ask him REAL questions.

oh let him get the rest of it out his system..he’s gonna do it whether you like it or not, you’ll be around it whether you like it or not, when he stands up and sit down so HURSH or eat it up..

r u kidding me? American Gangster is a classic…early

The Black Album was the perfect time to quit. It was a classic and the record business was still good. Like Jordan, he’s messing up his stats when he should be an owner.

Im still tryin to figure out how Jigga calls himself an 80″s baby??. I like Jay but I think its time for him to fall back. The Black album said it best “What more can I say”. And just like in the movie American Gangsta “Quitin is not the same as Quitin while your ahead”. Would you get lost Jigga!

Your taking this a tad bit personal don’t you think?

I am hip hop and I don’t want to hear from him anymore. GO AWAY and take Bewigable with you!

Musicians and/or performers don’t retire per se unless they become ill or something. At some point their popularity, ability to sell records or ability to perform up to theirs or industry standards wains. They don’t retire, they fade away.

You’re a musician untill you die.

Kingdom Come went platinum in a week and is one of the highest selling albums in all of music and watch American Gangsta outsell anything anyone else in the game puts out. Why are people telling him to retire when he’s one of the frew in the game that are actually still selling records and staying relevant based on their lyricism and not a hook and a beat and a damn corny ass dance?

oh yeah the comparisons to Rolling Stones are not good at all. Roling Stones are not competing with the rock heads of today. They are touring off of their old material. Jay is releasing new material. Which means he is competing with the new cats of today. Jay my dude for life! He is one of G.O.A.T.S but if he did it like Rolling Stones and tour off of old material that would be cool as well. He won’t be trying to compete with young cats.

Honestly, what else can he rap about. I’m personally getting tired of the same lyrics. Its either about him grindin or vacationing on islands. We’ve heard it all a thousand times. Cut it out already. At this point I’m looking for something fresh. Maybe he should get into actin.

Jay-Z is the best that ever done stop hat’n on the man.I hope Jay-Z never retires, I don’t care if he’s 50. Don’t disrespect Jay. I like reading negative comments about Jay from haters, because they just make me laugh. Ha Ha Ha!

THANK YOU, BAHAMA MAMA! WTF?

I’m with Sugarsweet. There are only so many ways he can say what is effectively the same thing. Rap’s come full circle. Even ‘taking it back’ to the 80s aint happening.

Peace.

I AM SOOOOOO SICK OF THIS CAMEL FACE AND HIS POODLE FACE GIRL THEY BOTH NEED TO FALL WAY BACK FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS I CANT TAKE NEITHER ONE OF THEM ANYMORE ENOUGH IS ENOUGH JAYZ SHOULD HAVE STAYED RETIRED AND BEYONCE NEEDS TO

and Question: If his concert sold out so quickly, then why is Power 105.1 in NYC giving so many tickets away?

(Answer: cause it wasn’t the public that bought them)

you know- let that man do his thing…If you not interested, don’t cop the album… What are some of ya;ll saying? There was ALOT of hype about this album! I think J is at a point where he has matured, but he still has a love for the game! You hear the maturity in his music/lyrics. I sincerely think he was not planning to do this album, but was SO inspired by the movie that he had to go into the studio and do his thing… It’s art, baby- everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. Take it or leave it. As for me, I am taking it!!!

Im still wondering how the concert sold out in 30 seconds?? ticketmasters website cannot handle that many people all at the same time…less than 1 min to be exact

Suspect..i say so

But i dont hate J to the Z…i dont really care much for his new stuff anymore..but i dont think hes “wack” in any sense of the word. Retire..no..but i think he def. needs to go at the game part time.

Pristine

“Jay-Z…the next Cosby

hey! that rhymes, ima rapper”

Pristine, I was just gonna say he looks like Cosby in that pic…the way he’s sitting and everything, lol

JAYZ’s ALBUM IS FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YA HEARD!!!!

Come on Man, J has them all beat. Take yourself back to the times and maybe you will understand what he is saying……

Y’all Jay-Z worshippers need to get a life.

Jay-z is way overrated anyway.

Biggie would blow him away any day of the week!!

EXCUSE MY TYPOS GOT A LIL CRUNK!LOL!

Not a worshipper just know good music when I hear it!

I agree with you blackgyrl30 I’m a Jay fan an so what if you Hate cause that’s all y’all do!

But it’s my preference that I support Jay and I don’t want to listen to that damn 106& Park dumb azz “Superman” and “In My Car” Songs all damn day long. It’s good to hear some different stuff without T-Pain on a hook or Lil Wanye on everyone’s sh–.

You need to get that American Gangster cause it’s going to be a classic just like Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint and The Black Album. It’s HOT!

That NYPOST article is so full of holes they called Blue Magic by the wrong name and totally forgot about all the great reviews the album is getting.

JAY-Z IS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE AND WHEN I LOOK AT HIM A SEE A SUCCESSFUL BLACK MEN. KEEP ON HATING U STUPID IGNORANT

@ Dani

Real talk dani i agree totally!

Old Shiesty ass Ni**a

PLease find something postive to talk about rather than to put an sucessful black man down.

Page 6 doesn’t post reviews, maybe you should have goone to the entertainment section of the NY Post. The critic called Amercian Gangster the strongest album of his career. Here’s the official review for the post!

‘GANGSTER’ RAP A FLUKE

By DAN AQUILANTE

Jay-Z’s “American Gangster,” which was completed in just three weeks, is one of the strongest albums of his career.November 6, 2007 — LIKE a dog chasing its own tail, Jay-Z’s latest record, “American Gangster,” is a classic case of life imitating art imitating life.

The 38-year-old rapper, who retired three years ago to serve as president and CEO of Def Jam Records (positions he still holds), and who un-retired with last year’s CD “Kingdom Come,” is back at the mike, dropping one of the strongest records of his career tomorrow.

And it’s a fluke.

Six months ago, there was no plan for a new disc. His inspiration was drawn from glasses of champagne, watching sunsets with Beyoncé on his yacht anchored off the French Riviera.

“And then I saw this Denzel [Washington] movie, ‘American Gangster,’ ” he tells The Post from his Def Jam offices. “I saw the movie, I watch it a couple of times and I wanted to take emotions out of it and make songs from those emotions.”

Fluke or kismet, the star alignment became clearer.

“I know it’s weird, but before I even knew I was doing this project, I got a call from [Sean Combs]. Puff was at me, saying I had to come down to his studio to hear some music he was fooling with.”

Combs has wanted to produce a Jay-Z record for years. “He’d say stuff like, ‘Even Michael Jordan needs a coach, let me produce your album.’ I’d always tell him, ‘I’m a producer myself, why do I need you?’ We’re friendly, but we are always trying to out-mogul each other. We have a good competition.”

He agreed to go to Combs’ studio to hear the music. “When I get there, he plays me all this ’70s-style music – keys and horns – and it takes me back to my childhood and this movie I just saw.”

Jay-Z says, “Puffy told me ‘Biggie’s not here,’ so I was the only one he could give this music to. He gave me a CD with about 30 tracks on it, and that became the foundation for this album.

“It took me three weeks to finish it. When I find inspiration, I don’t stop. At one point I wrote six songs in 11 hours, I just turned on the tape and let it roll.”

http://www.nypost.com/seven/11062007/entertainment/music/gangster_rap_a_fluke_652629.htm

Jigga need to retire those high waters he got on !

next week we will see who has the last laugh.jay would not put an album out unless he was confident in it.blue magic was not meant for radio .if he had released a radio song first,u would have said he fell off.

Hov gonna wind up just like Frank Luca .. Fired by his white bosses and left with nothing . Franks Bosses was the govt hovs bosses are the owners of the record label he works for as a CEO . CEO is not a sin nah nem for Owner.

the sti=upid negro is hussling backwards. Stupid nigger.

Yall see this picture? Well, this is EXACTLY what Jay-Z needs to be doing….sittin his azz down some dam where.

“All the tickets bought by scalpers and Def Jam..??”

How stupid of a statement is that?… Even if that was true, that would only mean that there’s a demand to see his shows… When have you ever seen a dumb-ass scalper buy tickets to ‘not’ make money off them?

I think dude should let the market determine when his time is over… Obviously he’s still bringin in the old and new fans..

What’s next? He shouldn’t sell a greatest hits CD or jump on a Old School tour? He’d still generate more money than alot of these talentless rappers thats out now.

Dame and LL should get together and have a Jay bashing night. Those two feminine actin dudes need to grow the hell up….

@ Yep

How can you say people are hating and call them ignorant for having an opinion? That is ridiculous. I personally don’t like Jay that much. I wouldn’t buy a Jay album on bootleg. I’d buy a Jezzy or Wayne album before I’d even CONSIDER listening to Jay’s sh*t. This is MY opinion. Does this make me a hater? No. I think most people can agree that to hear Jay-Z saying he is “Gettin It” is a little irritating considering the fact that the man already “HAS IT”. He’s an accomplished Black Man. Why is he rapping about cooking crack, when we know for a fact this man has clothing lines, liquor, clubs, CEO of record labels etc. Jay needs to take a seat. He’s did enough.

One last thing… It amazes me how folks wanna come down on dude because of the way he dress… Jay and Kanye seem to catch it for not dressing in those tacky long T shirts or wearin the throwback jerseys… Then you have artists like Andre 3000 that people would consider a genious in hiphop while he dress like a British version of Drivin Miss Daisy… While I heard of folks call him weird, nobody has ever told him or any other artistwhosestyle and versatility that they weren’t hiphop or that they need to retire..

I’ll respect these new artist when they can rap about more than the usual… Guns, clothes, women (girls), and jewelery… That nonsense only attract kids with a limited attention span for fans..

@Ass wholes aka modern day negros

Dame are you going to post the same thing everywhere?

@the truth

Great point a lot of the artist like Meth and Red took a lot of time off between albums and were doing nothing no mix tapes remixes or anything else. So there was no demand for them. During the whole “retirement” Jay was always doing guest appearances.

@ENTITLED TO MY OPINION!!!!

You don’t seem to understand that he is rapping about his past and how in some ways it relates to the movie. Sometimes it’s easy to see the hate in people and you are a perfect example.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Great Post.

This is even better for the hater to suck on.

http://wearexout.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=1

you know whats funny….. why do people hate on him so much look at Baby, he is older than Jay-Z and looks a damn fool… and dont nobody say nothing about him

It’s funny that everyone is screaming retire at Jay as if 38 is really old. Most of your parents are still working and over 40 and most of you will be working at that age as well. 40 is not old in this industry. Music is not physical, your just talking over a beat. You can do that sh** at 70 if people gonna buy it. Since when did hip hop have an age limit. Bow Wow was rapping at like five but no one said he was too young. How come no one mentions other rappers making music over 30 or near 40. Jim Jones (damn sure is up there with Jay), Snoop, LL, Ice Cube, Diddy, Jermaine Dupree, Wyclef, Common, and a lot more. How come no one calls them old. Why? B/c they not as successful as Jay. If Jay doesn’t put out a classic, the album is labeled whack. His last two albums were solid. If he puts out a bad album I don’t think it has anything to do with age. Mary put out a great album at her age and so did Mariah. Jay is worth nearly $400 mil. If he can put out an album and sell $1mil why not? You would too. Successful people think outside the box. That sad part is that this is how black people try to tear successful blacks down. Talk sh** for no apparent reason. If you don’t like it don’t buy it. Don’t mention it. That simple. Success breeds envy. Listen to Jay’s version of “grammy family.” One of his hottest verses ever. I believe he was 37 yrs old. Stop hatin, Get money!!!

Wasn’t Jay the one who mentioned how Michael Jordan messed up his legacy by returning to the NBA after his game-winning shot to win the NBA championship? Well take your own advice, dude. Become the man behind the man and find some young talent.

There are alot of silly hoes on this one…both men and women

Jay-Z is a demi-god of music. Get over it. He doesnt know any of you haters

demi- god?

WTF??

do you realize how stupid/obsessed/retarded you sound?

most people on here are realy only hating jay cos he is beyonces boyfreind.not cos of any other reason.most of u females and i know u are all females hve never even lstened to a jay album yet feel u have the authority to hate.which is a daaam shame.cos u dont. lets wait for next week and then we will see who is boss.

@BlahBlah

The only thing is he just came back from his first retirement. So it’s time to get 3 more rings baby. Kingdom Come was like when Jordan came back wearing the 45 and now he’s put back on the 23.

DAME IS HATING THAT HE WAS SO DUMB TO LET JAY-Z STEAL HIS EMPIRE.HE’S FINISHED AND LOOKING OLD AND NO ONE IS ROCKIN PRO-KEDS SO GO BACK TO SELLING CRACK,BUM.

HERE THIS OLD ASS CAMEL GO AGAIN. HE DOES NEED TO SIT DOWN WE GET IT.RETIRE. HIS STANS HAVE PUT HIM IN THE POSITION TO DO SO.

@ The Blogg Writer is an idiot

How do you know what’s real hip-hop?..You are one of those same idiots I was talking about earlier trying to force an subjective opinion about what’s real hip-hop because some people don’t care for Jay. Jay is good at what he does. But at the same time there are other MC’s who have done it and paved the way for Jay. He will be humble enough to tell you that. Jay is contributor to Hip-Hop he wasn’t the first and he won’t be the last. But he damn for sure made his place. With that said shut up. There are so many MC’s that has done it and are very good with their own individual and unique styles. The only reason why people brought up retirement is because Jay brought it up. No one would’ve said for him to retire if he didn’t. Jay played his stans to really belive that and spend money. I’m buisiness major. Jay knows what’s work for him and saying that worked. Jay can’t leave the game he loves what he does. I was smart enough to know he wasn’t serious. I’ve listned to his albums and know that Jay is the man but you sound like an idiot though

@ Dana:

you’re a silly ho

women shouldnt be allowed to listen to lyrics…just the beats…and only in clubs

WOW!!!from the mouth of Jill Scott…”HATE ON ME HATERS, NOW OR LATER”. Of course if you are under the age of 30 you can’t relate to what Jay is saying, do yourself a favor and listen to the lyrics on his cd American Gangster title “Ignorant Sh*t”.

@ O DOT-

once again, do you realize how stupid/retarded/uneducated you sound?

DONT WASTE YO TIME FIGHTING BLIND MINDLESS THOUGHTS OF DISPAIR!

I AM FEELIN BLUE MAGIC JUST DOWNLOADED IF OFF ITUNES TODAY. PHARELL BEAT IS SICK AND LISTEN TO JAYS LYRICS. HE DONT MEAN LITERALLY 80S BABY BUT YEAH 80S MESSED US ALL UP REAGAN AND IRAN CONTRA SCANDAL LEARN YALL HISTORY AND JAYZ IS A RAP MARKETING MOGUL SECOND TO NONE BEACHES!

@DANA

Not if you pre-order it. All pre-orders are being honored.

@ COOP-

OMG!! are you speaking to me with some sense?? i cant believe it! o.k, o.k, i’m ot gonna blow this one! my reply to you is:

“o.k., i didnt know that! but i’m sure that BULWMAJICIZTHESHIZNIT didnt pre-order it! lol! “

He’s looking like he just ate a big bowl of Jello pudding. Damn, how-in-the-hell . . . Cosby!

Look at the white dude next to him, looking all mad that Jay is wearing a better suit than him. Sad, white people mad ’cause black people are getting paid and they have to work for us.

@ Coop

This blog is for people to state the opions they have. Am I right? Get over yourself. If i’m the “PERFECT EXAMPLE” of a hater. The you are the perfect example of a D*CK SUCKER.

Good Day.

@ENTITLED TO MY OPINION!!!!

Bitter bitter.

@ Coop

He did say that he took it off of itunes some people didn’t pre-order like you did. It’s not because you’re exclusive is because he doesn’t want people to download an individual song he thinks it’s fair to download the album which is retarded because you can buy the album itself on itunes. It doesn’t matter because you still go pick it up in stores…you don’t get honored because you pre-order it…where did you get that from?

@dani

I was not trying to come across as special I was just pointing out that I had preordered it and received a e~mail from I~tunes saying my preorder was ready for downloading and I did. I will say that I later found out from other people who did not download their preorder in the morning they were not permitted to.

y’all still arguin’ over this?

UMM DANA FALL BACK BECAUSE I DID DOWNLOAD IT OFF ITUNES BEACH! MAYBE YO BOOTLEG PUTER WOULDNT LET YOU
