BP3 album cover-art released

Jay-Z posted the above image.. a cornucopia of white-painted instruments on his official Website today, which implies he’ll be using the graphic of "celebrating live instrumentals" as the cover of his eagerly anticipated The Blueprint 3. The cover echoes BP3’s aesthetic, Jay’s reliance on live instruments, he brought a 10-piece band with him for many of his recent tours/concerts over the past few years including in his All Points West performance, as opposed to studio trickery, which Jigga officially declared “D.O.A” with his first BP3 single.

i like it, it's different.. & nothin' less than REAL.

Jay-z rips New Jerseys "All Points West Festival"

This past weekend Jay-z headlined & performed at the highly anticipated "All Points West Festival" in New Jersey. Originally the Beastie Boy's were supposed to be the headliners but with the tragic, breaking news of one of the members being diagnosed with cancer, they had pulled out & that led to Jay-z being called in last minute to save the day.. & he did NOT disappoint.

Fans, barefoot in the mud, walked to the stage area early to get their first-come-first-serve front row position of the stage area at least an hour before show time. As the crowd grew larger, the contagious anticipation flooded the area wondering how the weather would affect Hov's performance.

With luck, the sky parted and the stars appeared above the crowd when a timer on the jumbotron counted down til showtime.

DJ Hero video game: Jay-z x Eminem "Renegade Edition"

Tracing back to the Hov and Eminem collaborative track from 2001’s "The Blueprint album", DJ Hero creates a special version of their newly developed video game system, appropriately entitled the Renegade Edition. Along with a special version turntable, the set will feature a convertible hardcase turned stand, and two-disc CD set, featuring previously unreleased music from Hip-Hop legends, Jay-Z and Eminem.

last Friday the 1st official single off Jay-z's upcoming Blueprint 3 album called "Run this town" ft. Ye & Rihanna was leaked. the song is nicce.. Jay lays down some raw bars, rihanna does the hook up nicely & kanye straight KILLS it with his verse. track is hot, good for radio.. good for the people.. good MUSIC period. Great follow-up track to D.O.A. as well.

Clipse ft. 'Ye - kinda like BIG deal

Jay-z news: Blueprint 3 updates

MTV Shows

So a few days ago, Hov premiered his brand new "street single" called "D.O.A./Death Of Autotune" which goess pretty hard lyrically taking a standpoint against wack rappers that sing too much, lacking TRUE rhyming talent and even enhance their vocals using t-pain's autotune device. It's produced by No I.D. & Kanye West.

Jay also said that with "D.O.A." being the first "street single" off his upcoming Blueprint III album, his first OFFICIAL "radio single" will be a cut called "Off That" featuring Drake. THAT track is said to drop in July, so look forward to that one making a big impact once it's leaked.

The biggest news of all is regarding his highly anticipated album, which is the 3rd installment to Jay-z's Blueprint series.. "Blueprint 3." The official date is said to be Septemper 11th "9/11" 2009, which is 8 years to the EXACT date of when the first Blueprint album dropped in 2001. I personally think this is a GREAT idea, i can't waait till more tracks leak & more news about the album is revealed.

Power 106 interview with Drake

Drake was in L.A. a few days ago for his show at Cal State L.A. & stopped by to kick it for a bit at the Power 106 studios.

*for those of ya'll that went to his "after-party" at club Element, ya'll seen him come-n-go within minutes, due to BAD business. SHADY-ass promoters had been lying to the fans & attendees plus overcharging people at the door & promising a live performance, which wasn't in the "hosting" contract to begin with. Soo.. drizzy LEFT the building & was ALSO underpaid by those promoters according to sources ;)
