Thanks to Kanye West, Maison Martin Margiela is more familiar to Hip-Hop heads that don’t necessarily keep tabs on what’s poppin’ on the runways. But the couture fashion house makes more than just the jackets Yeezy shouted out on “Ni**as In Paris” (see Jay-Z on “Run This Town” for another reference). But Hov and Ye […]
Back in January, Jay-Z debuted his newly renovated 40/40 Club in New York City. The venue underwent a $10 million dollar face-lift, resulting in a luxurious establishment that looks nothing close to the previous model. The brain trust behind the new look sports bar was none other than world renowned architect Jeffrey Beers. Beers’ work can be traced […]
Being first doesn’t always amount to being the best. However, in most instances, it puts you in the record books all the same. Throughout the course of Hip-Hop’s existence there have been a number of acts to come along and put their stamp on the game by setting game-changing precedents yet to be established by […]
After releasing the official video for “Ni**as in Paris” a few weeks ago, the visual has already gotten a makeover. As one of the year’s biggest hits, it was only right that the NBA open up All-Star Saturday night with the record and provide some of the classic moments in All-Star History to go along with […]
Proud parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z stepped out for the first time in public with their baby daughter Blue Ivy. Carter La Familia hit Sant Ambroeus for lunch in NYC’s West Village. Blue Ivy was bundled up in Beyoncé’s arms (she’s rocking dark shades and some couture kicks via Isabel Marant) while Hov watches over them rocking […]
Singer Rita Ora is being called the next Rihanna, and yesterday, Jay-Z stopped by New York City’s Z100 radio station to let the public judge for themselves. Mr. Carter rolled into the station for an impromptu premiere of Ora’s single “Party and Bulls**t,” and seeing as how Rih Rih has been making some suspect life […]
Steve Stoute recently appeared on NBC’s Morning Joe to discuss Hip-Hop culture’s “tanning effect,” which he elaborates on in his book The Tanning of America. During the piece, Stoute referenced a moment at Jay-Z‘s Carnegie Hall concert where the crowd sang the Notorious B.I.G.‘s “Juicy” in unison as Hov held the mic into the crowd. Here is […]
Jay-Z and Kanye West are going to be counting plenty of Euros and British pounds. The Throne has announced that they will be taking their ‘Watch The Throne Tour’ to Europe this summer. The tour kicks off in London at the O2 on Sunday, May 20th and will hit 11 more dates in countries including […]
Hip-Hop Mogul Steve Stoute stopped by NBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ and spoke on several topics. As the author of The Tanning of America, Stoute spoke on Hip-Hop culture’s influence, using Jay-Z‘s recent performance at Carnegie Hall as an example. “Of all the things that took place, when Jay-Z sang ‘Juicy’ and just held the mic out […]
Maya Rudolph returned to Saturday Night Live last night and impersonated Beyoncé —and Jay Pharaoh nailed Jay-Z’s voice—in a “Baby Blue Ivy” sketch. Prince, LL Cool J, Nicki Minaj, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift and Bon Iver all stopped by to hilariously pay their respects to Blue Ivy Carter. Justin Timberlake’s semi-shots at Bon Iver, >. […]
Jay-Z’s hit “99 Problems” get a supercut style video using a gang of Hollywood movies to recreate his lyrics. Created by Eclectic Method and spotted at Life+Times, so Hova must approve. Can we get a list of every film used? Watch the clip below.
As the countdown of the ‘Hottest MC’s in the Game‘ continues, we reach the most controversial selection so far. Jay-Z comes in at number six on MTV’s Hottest MC’s list. Arguably the best MC of all-time, it’s hard to imagine five other rappers topping Hov in 2011. Watch the Throne was an album like Hip-Hop […]
