I should’ve just shuffled this into the last post of this kind, but eh… This time around we have J Cole paying tribute to Hov (Dead Presidents x PSA), XV to Warren G (Regulate) and Mickey Factz for Slick Rick (Children’s Story) and of course all performances are followed by some of the dude’s solo cuts… Continue reading
Jay goes on the same show that Em did when he was out in Germany. So… like, does Jay freestyle anymore?
Andrew Marr talks black politics and internet innovation with the multi-million selling, Grammy Award winning, self-proclaimed CEO of hip-hop.
The man who can count President Barack Obama among his friends, and Beyonce Knowles as his wife, speaks of the need for change, in music as much as politics.
During Hov’s stop in the UK, he sat down with Jo Whiley of BBC’s Radio 1 to do a little interview (above) as well as some unplugged-esque performances of Roc Boys, Thank You and Encore via those dopeboyz.

For those wondering, the chick on the hook is another one of Jay’s Roc Nation artists, Bridget Kelly. That chick is baaaaaaaad!

HAHA, Hov’s interview just keep getting better and better. Really a funny dude.
Jay-Z will be performing at Madison Square Garden on Friday, September 11th, 2009. Tickets sold out in less than a minute. To honor that achievement, we at ItsTheReal.com decided to name all of the sellouts we could. …in under a minute.
From Marcy to Madison Square. There’s a difference between ’sold out’ and ’selling out’.
Now, if you’re a Juan Epstein head like Myself and Morph, then you would know that the two have been trying for quite the minute to get an interview w/ Hov. So I guess after making some calls and doing some shameless begging (no shots), they’ve finally got the interview. For those who don’t have the time to sit around and watch the video, you can download the audio by clicking here. For the rest of us, there’s more after the jump… Continue reading
Off The Wall? Great choice.
For those who won’t be in attendance (*raises hand) Fuse will be broadcasting it live (to you and yours) commercial free. Peep the video for more information.
Come every Jay-Z album release is a multi-million dollar marketing campaign. Jay-Z teamed up with Rhapsody this and it looks like they will be the first to exclusive bring you his 11th studio LP,The Blueprint 3 on September 1st. They will also be the first to drop 2 exclusive bonus tracks from the album on September 8th. Now this commercial above is pretty creative. Recreating history here.
Uhm, this is one of the coolest video I’ve seen in a long ass time. Be sure to check it out! Also, below I’ve added the final two leaks (via 2dopeboyz) off of BP3, September 11th, be sure to cop it!

I’m watching (listening) to this ask we speak right now, and I gotta say this is a dope interview. Morph kept telling me and telling me to watch this so I finally did and I’m glad I did…
Check part two after the jump… Continue reading
I’ve heard alot of things about this battle but I’ve never actually seen it until today. Which seems a little crazy to me.

I guess the rumors of why this wasn’t chosen as the first single of (Drake killing Jay on his own shit) are false as Drake just rocks the hook. I won’t lie, although it’s a solid song, im sure everyone was expecting more. Oh well, The Blueprint 3 dropping soon. All praise to Eazee as the exclusive goes to their camp.
