Peep the video as Dame weighs in.

Also peep here for more videos.

Previously working with Coldplay, Empire of the Sun, Bono of U2 and many others, Jay is ensuring that he won't just make music that only Hip-Hop heads will bob to.

His latest upcoming collaboration is with Jack White, known as a member of The White Stripes along with The Raconteurs.

During an interview with GQ, White spoke more on the upcoming project between himself and Jay.

“I just did a record with Jay-Z.  We did a song together a few weeks ago. It was incredible. I played him something that I've been kicking around for a while and he immediately came out with words for it. It's unbelievable-sounding.”

As days continue to progress, the rapper from Marcy is evolving more into Euro-Jay.  He said it himself, he's not a businessman, he's a business man.

The more he keeps experimenting, who knows exactly how his next release will shape up to be.

The question on the minds of Hip-Hop cognoscenti, the glitterati and reporters alike is whether Dash, who co-founded the twin cash cows of rap music and fashion, Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear, will earn the dubious distinction of actually living a “hard knock life” after having earned a fortune for producing a smash record of the same name.

The mogul, once one of the ten richest and most powerful men in Hip-Hop, is now reportedly broke. He lost his home, and a Manhattan judge even ordered the city to seize his SUV because he couldn't afford his monthly car note.

As previously reported Jay's been confirmed to headline several festivals across the pond including the Oxegen Fest alongside Eminem, and the Wireless Fest in London.

Now however, he's expanding his tour schedule to include even more dates overseas for his European fans.
Jay's first stop in Europe will be June 4 in Germany, hitting the stage in Rock am Ring.

Following that he'll travel to the UK for several stops before ending out the tour on July 11 at T in The Park at Scotland.

The list of dates for Jay-Z's European tour schedule are below.

6/4/10: Rock am Ring, Germany
6/5/10: Rock im Park, Germany
6/6/10: Paris Bercy, France
6/7/10: Manchester Arena, UK
6/9/10: Birmingham LG Arena, UK
6/11/10: Isle of Wight, UK
7/2/10: Eurockéennes Belfort, France
7/4/10: Wireless, UK
7/9/10: Oxygen, Ireland
7/10/10: Frauenfeld, Switzerland
7/11/10: T in the Park, Scotland

“I won't allow myself to be placed in a box where I can only do one style, or do one kind of music.  They should expect the unexpected on this one.”

Some say that imitation is a form of flattery and those that choose to semi-replicate what another does can only be the start of a trend later down the road.

However a person chooses to rank the production supplied on The Blueprint III, sales indicated that Jay-Z's sound was becoming more universal and many were embracing some of his Euro-style beat selection.

Apparently, 50 Cent was taking notes as well as he plans to infuse some more international appeal and sound as he begins to work on his fifth solo project Black Magic.

Probably realizing that the aggressive content is starting to become obsolete to the consumer, 50 seems to have resorted to a new game plan for his upcoming project.

Hip-Hop music might have initially been meant for the streets, but it's clearly not what is going to the local stores to actually buy the product.

During an interview with DopeMoney, the rapper spoke on his reasoning for such a left turn and who could appreciate such a shift.

“If they can understand how I enjoy different genres of music and different styles, for the people who have various tastes in music, they'll really like it.”
