For his 44th birthday, it seems Jay Z wanted to stir the pot of controversy for Hip-Hop heads to debate over.

Tis the season to go shopping, and because of that, Rocksmith released the lookbook for their Holiday 2013 collection. Rather than let some Joe Schmo model their apparel, the New York based clothing brand called on Atlanta rap group Migos.

It’s ironic that on December 4, a day we celebrate the birth of an MC many consider the GOAT, we also lament the lost of another star in his own right. Six years ago today, Hip-Hop lost one of it’s most polarizing figures in Chad “Pimp C” Butler, one half of rap duo UGK.

Honestly speaking, Drake does this to himself. The Toronto rapper announced yesterday that he has partnered with Jordan Brand. So of course the emotionally reflective MC aligning with the house that Michael Jordan built has inspired incredible slander.

DJ Khaled has done collaborations with nearly every artist that consider themselves current these days so naturally his birthday parties are littered with familiar faces.

It’s December 4 and that makes it Shawn “Jay Z” Carter’s 44th birthday. The number four has made a tremendous impact on his career akin to the way his artistry has made him arguably the best rapper in many a debate.

Monday, December 2, music industry figures gathered at Mister H in New York City’s Soho section to celebrate the release of singer/songwriter Sevyn Streeter‘s new EP, Call Me Crazy, But.

These Facebook-related murders have jumped the shark and crash landed into the dark side of the moon. Michelle Rowling, 25 of East Saint Louis is the latest victim to lose their life on what appeared to be premonition on the social networking website.

The family of Christian Massey, a 21-year-old special needs adult is in mourning after he was murdered in attempted robbery gone deadly. The items the thieves were after? A $300 pair of Beats By Dre headphones. Yes, you read correctly, he was killed over Beats by Dre headphones. 

An Alabama woman has been charged with murder after she allegedly shot and killed another woman for not showing enough emotion after a hotly contested college football game.

It pays to have friends in high places. Just ask Atlanta radio personality and renowned sneaker connoisseur, DJ Greg Street, who got Kanye West to sign each of his signature sneakers after he interviewed with V-103.

The latest episode of Love & Hip Hop New York continues with the mind boggling level of silly bird behavior and Peter Gunz tomfoolery we have become accustomed to.
