Jay-Z’s “Decoded” Track List revealed

Posted on by

Jay-Z-Decoded

So Hov gave us some “decoding” to do or did he do it for us?. We would love to hear some of the stories behind “Coming of Age”, “Where I’m From”, “Lucifer” or the meanings behind some of the lines in “PSA” or “Moment of Clarity”. A few joints were left out tho, like, “You Must Love Me” and “H to The Izzo”. I really think somebody fumbled the ball on not decoding “You Must Love Me” but whatever Lmao…anyway…
This is very hot and very smart to do. Considering Jay is one of THE Best to EVER do it, this stands out on some NEXT ISH!!!!

p.s. The joint that I produced, “Where I’m From”, is on there…as it should be…BROOKLYN!!! D-DOT!!! CRAZY CAT!!!

Roc-A-Fella Co-Founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke Arrested On Federal Drug Charges

According to reports, Biggs was among 43 people arrested today in a massive drug sweep spanning from New York to South Florida on Federal drug charges. And then…

Reports the NY Post:

Kareem “Biggs” Burke, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, which launched the career of superstar rapper Jay-Z, was among 43 people arrested today in a massive drug sweep spanning from New York to South Florida, authorities said.

Also nabbed was Matthew Stang, a writer and senior ad rep at High Times magazine, a well-known chronicle of chronic culture. “In the case of the High Times employee, it’s a case of art imitiating real life,” said Jim Hayes special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Burke was nabbed early this morning by ICE agents at his home in North Bergen, NJ, Hayes said.

The 18-month investigation into the vast narcotics network – headed by Geovanny “Manny” Rodriguez Perez – resulted in $1 million in seized profits and 177 pounds of marijuana, Hayes said.

At least another seven people are expected to be arrested as a result of the operation, dubbed “Green Venom,” he said. Investigators used state and federal wiretaps to catch the drug smugglers, authorities said.

There is no word yet as to what Burke’s role was in the ring.

Kareem “Biggs” Burke was one of the three co-founders of Roc-A-Fella Records. While Jay-Z and later Dame Dash played the front, Biggs always remained in the background. After the trio sold their interests in the label to Def Jam, Burke remained with Dame Dash and started Roc4Life while Jay-Z presided over Def Jam.

Somewhere Jay-Z is probably brushing his shoulders off… #ImJustSayin

Nick Cannon Refers to Eminem, Chelsea Handler and Howard Stern as “White Trash”

Nickelodeon 2009 Upfront Presentation

4 white people beefing is funny to me…..Nick, Em, Chelsea and Howard…how cute!!! Lmao…

Nick Cannon goes “wild n’ out” on Handler and Stern.

Nick Cannon took to Twitter on Friday to respond to a joke comedienne Chelsea Handler tweeted earlier that day. The E! hostess wrote, “I just heard Nick Cannon is starting a comedy tour? Who’s going to do the comedy?” Cannon, whose been doing stand-up since his teens, took offense and fired off an angry tweet that not only calls out Chelsea Handler but two much more powerful media figures. Via Twitter, “@ChelseaHandler @HowardStern @Eminem Why do all these angry ugly whitetrash folks want beef with me? What I do? I’m a harmless corny dude!”
Cannon and Eminem’s beef is well known as Em has always maintained that he had a fling with Cannon’s wife, pop superstar Mariah Carey, though many years before the two were married. Stern most likely got caught in the TeenNick Chairman’s crosshairs because of comments he has made about Cannon and Carey on his hugely popular radio show.

Cannon also tweeted several other comments about Handler, from calling her an unfunny Joan Rivers to stating that Handler was given her E! talk show because she had a sexual relationship with the network’s president. Cannon has stated that these are all “just jokes” but has received many angry tweets that even go as far to call him a racist because of his use of the term white trash. Handler responded with only one tweet which read, “@nickcannon pls drink this before you tweet me again,” and contained a link to a picture of a can of grape soda. Many other twitter users then accused Handler of trafficking in racist stereotypes.

Stern and Eminem have, for now, wisely refrained from commenting on either Cannon or Handler’s comments. (via HipHopDX)
