Beyonce And Jay-Z Photos In Cannes
First public photos of Jay-Z, Beyonce's baby online
She's been a sensation since she was born, and now Blue Ivy has made her public debut. Five photos of the 1-month-old were posted by her parents, Beyonce and Jay-Z, on a page at the blogging service Tumblr. The pictures include a close-up of the baby ...
Jay-Z Determined to Make the Nets Stylish
Jay-Z, whose given name is Shawn Carter, did not respond to repeated attempts to reach him through his publicist and the Nets. The suites themselves, which are still under construction, will be unabashedly bold—and that includes the price tag ...
Heard this about a week ago and liked the beat.
I kind of like it; the beat is sick to me.
I love the beat, but this sounds like something Kanye would rock, but its aight.
TIMERLAND GAVE HIM A LEFT OVER TRACK >>>>WACK
DIDNT JAY RETIRE ????
HE NEEDS TOO HIM N HIS WIFE
THEY BOF UGLY
Yea Kanye would rock this…this album is gonna be sick…He should have included HIS WIFE in the lineup like come on she include you in everything…The beat is hot him on it aint all that though…
lol @ CL deleting my orignal comment……..lol
well, jayz needs to go sit down somewhere
yes him and beyonce ~
yes!
go
away
please!
alot of ppl dnt liek dis song..idk..
i like it!
its smoothhhh,..& i like da beat
the best i heard so far
This song is so stupid LOL I was dying the whole time cause Jay be sounding like the boogie man “Who shot ya” LOL WACCCKKK ugh lol He needs to sit down and rest. He to old to be acting like that smh
Yo I love this track… Timberland awww I love when he comes wit teh hiphop beats. This beat goes so hard
yea…i’m not feelin this song.
the beat is sick tho.
Didn’t hear it yet but I wanted to leave a comment. Jay do need to retire though. I mean…Damn. What more do he want???
why is she at the bottom of the list…… and he forgot to put rhi rhi on the list…..jk lol.,
I like it!
Beat is proper still.
i like this song
but i do not like jay z ….at all
for some reason i feel that putting beyonce’ on the list kind of cheapens their relationship…like they are trying to say she is one of his accomplishments instead of the fact that they are genuinely in love…i dont know thats just how it came off to me
let me re phrase that
i like the beat of the song
It’s okay but it will have to grow on me maybe after another listen or two. But I haven’t really liked anything that has leaked from BP3.
#11 BROWNOCEAN,
He’s not retiring because he’s doing something he loves.
I don’t think it’s about wanting anything ’cause money wise he’s set for life – but he loves rapping so obviously he’s going to continue rapping!
Rapper Jay Z covers the most recent issue of XXl magazine, according to a loyal reader who sent this cover. This reminds me that I promised another loyal reader to post the definition of a narcissist:
According to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), narcissism is defined as “a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.”
The narcissist is described as turning inward for gratification rather than depending on others and as being excessively preoccupied with issues of personal adequacy, power, and prestige. Narcissistic personality disorder is closely linked to self-centeredness. It is also colloquially referred to as “the God complex.”
True narcissists (like Barack Obama, Jay Z, Jermaine Dupri and Sean Combs, for example) will display 5 or more of the following behaviors and character traits:
* Has a grandiose sense of self-importance
* Requires excessive admiration
* Has a sense of entitlement
* Is interpersonally exploitative
* Lacks empathy
* Is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
* Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
* Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty or ideal love (megalomania)
* Believes they are “special” and can only be understood by, or should associate with, people (or institutions) who are also “special” or of high status
ABSOLUTELY LOVE JAY….CONGRAT’S TO YOU AND ALL YOUR SUCCESS:-) LOVIN’ THE NEW JOINT TOO!!!!!
I know Jay is pissed…. All of his tracks were suppose to be top secret and all the ones that were leaked were Timberland produced…… Humm…. Damn Tim…. It’s like that….
Jay you forgot to tell folks how you acquired so much wealth, how many celebs were sacrificed for you .I really don’t know how you sleep at night folks you tube The Industry parts 33-40
Not knocking Jay’s talent because he is talented(and super successful) but every song i’ve heard from the album so far is beyond wack. I hate them all. Maybe next time… all the hype is NOT worth it.
OMG WACKEST SHIT EVER, HO GO SIT DOWN!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be funny all these leaked song aren’t on the cd lol! I don’t know if that would be good or bad marketing.
I wonder will his label drop him like Omarion was dropped from Young Money after his track was leaked lol. Jigga, just please so sit down and keep letting Rihanna bounce on your lap..opps I mean Beyonce
HELL NO!…NO ONE…(NO ONE)….is larger than Hip Hop who is living on this earth. Not even our fallen hip hop greats like Pac and Biggie. But Jay-Z is tired. He can still make good music but he should make room for new artists….which means STOP dowing auto-tune…if it’s hot then just make an auto-tune track!! He would have a hit if he woulda just used auto-tune! lol
OK seriously yall need to STOP hating on jay & bey i mean seriously? it’s really none of your buisness when jay retires if he chooses to retire & then comeback that’s his perogative NOT YOURS! anyhoo ilike this song
THE BEAT IS SICK…FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER= Sucka4love0
Hmmmm I don’t know I just I just like the old Jay Blueprint and older this Idk can’t get with it. Like the beat and that’s it I think.
this is smooth, i like this allot! still like off that with drake the most!
Damn… tough crowd. I thought the song was genius. Full of thoughtful metaphors. @19 so is a narcissist bad? Who cares? If no one believes in your potential, believe in yourself.
Thanks J. Dakar. I am not sure about this one.
I guess it will just have to grow on me too.
Joe Camel for real!
@JoJoJam, Thats the same thing i was about to say. Which once again to me proves they are just a business relationship. They songs cool, but Jay-z keeps taking shots at Beyonce on tracks. But if she loves it i like it!
“Caught her bumping Ether”–Beyonce used to f*ck with Nas.. lol, She’s in one of his older videos with his chain on.
I was expecting a lot from Jay this album. I’m A HUGE fan. But it doesn’t look that way. I have every album, may not have this one.

ALSO WHY IS J. DAKAR SO F’ING SEXY?? I’M JUST SAYING.
screw the haters that track is hott.
OK….September 11th ain’t coming quick enough!! That track was sick…
“all black everything”
Beyonce is no more than jay’s trophy wife…. puting her at the bottom of the list just proves that…
Take away everything “Hip-Hop” he’s ever done in his entire life and ask that question again.
Way to hit your target demographic XXL, showing your readers that you think Hip Hop isn’t significant enough to have GROOMED a world-class businessman is definitely the way to go!
PLEASE RETIRE YOUR LIKE WHAT 50?!!!!
DUMPSTA JUICE…..NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!
YALL NEED TO STOP B!TCHEN SERIOUSLY,I LIKE THE TRACK ITS WITTY IT GOES WITH THE TITTLE.AND WHY SHOULD HOV MAKE ROOM FOR NEW ARTIST NOBODY MADE ROOM FOR HIM WHEN HE WAS COMING UP IN THE GAME,SEE THATS THE PROMBLEM WIT SOME OF YALL YOU THINK WHEN A ARTIST REACH A CERTAIN AGE HE SHOULD STOP RAPPIN,FUK THAT HIP HOP HAS NO AGE LIMIT IF YOU STILL HAVE THE TALENT AND THE LOVE WHY NOT DO IT,DO YOU REALLY THINK JAY NEEDS TO RAP DUDE IS WORTH MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HE DOSENT NEED TO RAP,BUT HE DOES IT CAUSE HE HAS LOVE FOR THE GAME,HIS MUSIC IS ALOT BETTER THAN THESE NO TALENT SKINNY JEANS AUTOTUNE NO SUBSTANCE ASS MOTH@FUCK@S OUT HERE,BUT ALOT OF YALL GONNA DISAGREE CAUSE YALL SO USE TO LISTINING TO THAT BULL OUT THERE YOU FORGOT WHAT GOOD MUSIC SOUND LIKE.
beat is sick, jay raps smooth on this rack.. too many haters saying negative sh*%, that dont understand real rap.. they probably think soldier boy is the illest. lol
hot shyt!
Go away Jigga,
take your washed up fighting to stay relevant so called wife with you.
Just don’t go to another country where you are not welcome. LOL!
SOSO FRESH SAID IT BEST!!!! I DON”T NEED TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE!!!!
Gotta love Jayonce!!!
…oh yeah co-sign@SOSOFRESH
The song is cool but… *silence* I just dont know what to say. I always LOVE Timbo’s beats ( I’m still listening to J.T ” My Love” that beat is sick!) I’m bean its just ok nothing to get all excited over. but I will say this if you bump this in the club like 5 minutes before it shuts down you might get a reaction.
At this rate we’ll hear all the songs on the album before it’s actually released.
Nice song though, one of my favourites I’ve heard so far.
@ 58 exactly. There’s a damn leak like twice a week.
like seriously …
i mean seriously ..
is it THAT serious?
people hatin on B .. now u know that chic go HARD !
Jig used to go hard 2 … till his head got big
and he started thinking he God
man please …
yea he so-called retired like once or twice
then other folks started callin him out so he acted like he had to come back to prove a point
and still dont be talkin about nothin
remember “Reasonable Doubt” .. his first album from 1996?
maaaan … that was FIRE!
he wish he could go back in time ..
all he do is talk about B & how much $$ he got
and he supposed to be teaching these younger kats coming up in the game how its done
chile booo!
