NEW MUSIC & ALBUM FROM JAY-Z
Thursday, September 20, 2007

Jay-Z feat. Pharrell Williams - Blue Magic (updated with CD quality)
Rapper/mogul Jay-Z has announce that he will release an album full of all new material this November titled American Gangster. Although Jay-Z’s is separate from the official motion picture soundtrack, the new album is Jay-Z’s lyrical interpretation of the movie, which stars Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, Cuba Gooding, Jr., RZA, T.I., Ruby Dee, Common and others. The film American Gangster is based on the true story of Frank Lucas, chronicling his rise to dominance over the Harlem drug trade in the streets of New York in 1970 by smuggling heroin into the country using the coffins of Vietnam veterans returning home from the war.
Jay-Z’s first single from American Gangster is “Blue Magic,” which features vocals from Pharrell Williams on the chorus. AG will feature a series of producers, much like Jay-Z’s famed Black Album. The new album is set to hit stores November 6, while the film opens in theaters November 2.

why is he still making albums? i’m want my money back. I bought the black album under the false pretenses that it was his last album. If I would’ve known he woulda came out with another album 2 years later. I would not have bought into the hype. I’m tired of these artists with these marketing ploys/ gimmicks just to sell more records. It insults my intelligence as a consumer and I don’t appreciate it.

zzzzzzzz . Jay-hova, just because somebody gave him the name doesn’t mean he have to use it . I agree with #22. People don’t care it’s falling on deaf ears. You see all of the “stans” in here . Wrong is wrong ,there’s no defending that . He need to sit his old ass down somewhere !

Man 1st Of all F*ck Craig G…
He’s The One Who Has Everyone Thinking That Jay-Z said 666 Murder ….. but what he didnt say that it was from the experimental album “The Grey Album” Exec. Produced By Danger Mouse With No Affiliation from Jay Himself. Although He Does Have Goos Points, He also dogs any artist that is famous (gospel artists too) to advertise himself and get people to buy his records. Trust Ive had to sit through two of his tapes…Hypocrite To Me I’ll Say. I Know People Who Know/Known Him and NOTHING good comes from their experiences with him. HIS SISTER DOESN’T EVEN CLAIM HIM.
2nd Of All…
The Track Is Hot. Ive learned to accept a new style and flow with every Jay-Z. NONE OF HIS ALBUMS HAVE THE SAME VIBE. Even His Double Album Had To Different Vibes. Jay Is On His 87 B-Boy/Rakim/Big Daddy Kane/Hustler Flow!
AMERICAN GANGSTER
The Movie Nov 2nd
The Album Nov 6th or Nov 2nd (maybe)
Peace

YEP I SAID IT!! AN I SAY IT AGAIN
Friday, September 21, 2007 /
@ 46 my pleasure for the info, yeah u can look on youtube ( the truth about jay-z_ and the alumanati business. he dont believe in god,he calls himself god explains why he calls himself H.O.VA and he does believe in saturn.He’s getting others inovlves such as kanye saying in ”STRONGER” ” BOW DOWN 2 THE GREATNESS” THOU HAS FORSATANIST. AND RHINNA when she representing the mano corunto,the satanic horns gesture .and the roc sign representing alumanati.(remember when she sitting in the triangle in the umbrella video)
i dont force opinions on 2 anyone jus stating the facts

And another thing about Jay-Z, that whole “play it backwards” thing is a joke. I played the same song backwards and it doesn’t say nothing about “murder Jesus” or anything. It was all a clever little thing that the dude made himself to fool people into paying attention to himself by degrading whats popular with the youth. It’s disgusting to lie and disrespect others for the sake of your own benefit.
I still love Jay-Z’s old material but his new material isn’t hitting it. He hasn’t impressed me since his verse on “Diamonds” with Kanye and “Go Crazy” with Jeezy.

Like I said my belief is not in question here…. I believe in Jesus and you cant take that away from me no matter what you say #62. I’m a fan not an idol worshipper get over yourself already. I know there is somebody in the business you support but you may not know all their religious beliefs! I only said i pray for his sake cuz he has to answer b4 God not me. I am straight with my convictions and I’m still a fan. I still don’t believe he’s a satan worshipper. So you need tpo stop saying things like that with out real facts. Good night I’ll pray for me you and jay tonight if that will make you feel better.

65) That video is a LIE…I played that song backwards myself. It’s a joke, its not real. The guy in the video altered it himself to make it sound like that. I’ve played that track backwards at home with software and also in a recording studio in Manhattan with a couple industry heads because we were curious just like folks on this site. We discovered that it said NOTHING like it was shown in that video, no actual words were said.
You’ve been fooled, so don’t be upset, you’re in good hands. Trust.

Here’s the best a heffa could do with that radio rip:
So what if you flipped a couple words
I can triple that in (?)
Open your mind you’ll see the circus in the sky
I’m Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey with the pies
No matter how you slice it, I’m ya muthafuckin’ guy
Just like a B-boy with 360 waves
Do the same with a pot, still come back beige
Whether (?)
Whether powder to jar
Whip it around, still comes back hard
so easily do i W-H-I-P
My repitition with riches will bring a kilo, bitches
I got Creole skee-os for my (?)
Let the (?) prisoners (?) to the visitors
You already know what the business is
Unneccesary commissary, boy we live this shit
Wanna bring the 80’s back
That’s OK with me, that’s where they made me at
Except i don’t write on the wall
I write my name in the History books hustlin’ in the hall
Nah, i don’t spin on my head
I spin the work in the pot so i can spend my bread
And i’m gettin’ it
I’m gettin’ it
I ain’t talkin’ about it
I’m livin’ it
I’m gettin it
Straight gettin’ it
G-gg-g-g-get it boy
Don’t you waste your time
Fighting blind
Stay your course
And you’ll understand
Get it boy
This ‘87 state of mind that i’m in
In my prime before that time i’m Rakim
If it wasn’t for the crime that i was in
Then I wouldn’t be the guy who rhymes it is that i’m in
No pain, no profit
Key i repeat if he show you where the pot is
Cherry M3’s with the top back
Red & green G’s all on my hat
North Beach leathers, matching Gucci sweater
Gucci sneaks on to keep my outfit together
Whatever, hundred for the diamond chain
Can’t you tell that i came from the dope game?
Blame Reagan for making me into a monster
Blame Oliver North and Iran contra
I ran contraband that they sponsored
Before this rhyming stuff, we was in concert
And i’m gettin’ it
I’m gettin’ it
I ain’t talkin’ about it
I’m livin’ it
I’m gettin it
Straight gettin’ it
G-gg-g-g-get it boy
Don’t you waste your time
Fighting blind
Stay your course
And you’ll understand
Get it boy
Push…push
Money over broads, you got it
Bush
Chef, guess what i cooked?
Baked a lot of bread and kept it off the books
Rock Star, look
Way before the bars, my picture was getting took
Feds, they like wack rappers
Try as they may, they couldn’t get me on the hook
Uh, D.A. wanna indict me
Cause fish scales in my veins like a Pisces
The Pyrex pot caller, my sleeves
Turn one into two like a Siamese
Twin when it end
I’ma stand as a man
Never dying on my knees
Last of a dying breed
So let the champagne pop
I partied for a while
Now i’m back to the block
And i’m gettin’ it
I’m gettin’ it
I ain’t talkin’ about it
I’m livin’ it
I’m gettin it
Straight gettin’ it
G-gg-g-g-get it boy
Don’t you waste your time
Fighting blind
Stay your course
And you’ll understand
