Writing my analysis of Jay-Z's 444 Album was so much fun for me because I really did it when there was a lot of confusion about his direction and the success of the Album and his OJ Story still has some fans baffled about his true angle in penning it. Nevertheless, my Tidal Playlist includes "New Day", "Otis" and many other hits made by the Rap Mogul and Kanye West. New Day proves that Jay-Z is woke and when I say woke I mean aware and having a vision about the future. Being aware of his role...

Jay-Z kept us waiting for this one and when he released his self titled 4:44 Album, it was like he gave birth to an extended version of his Can I Live collaboration with Memphis Bleek and his Regrets Song collectively in the 10 tracks included on the new album. The musicality is there and his need to educate the upcoming Rappers like Nice Gunz, YE, Stick Up, Great White Stylez and so many more (who are trying to find their place amid the madness of the Music Business...

News that Jay-Z and Beyonce have welcomed their twins into the this world has went viral

The twins are going to add a lot more fun to their fame. The two Mega Stars are already labeled as Hop-Hop’s best match in the Perfect Couple Department. They capitalized on their fame by collaborating, making music together like Hollywood and Upgrade You, two of my favorites. Their music may not be enough to get you on board with their Carter Celebrity, but those who have been inspired by one or the oth...

For the longest time or at least ever since Jay Z and Beyonce put their Golden Celebrity Touch on Tupac' s Bonnie & Clyde, they have become Hip-Hops Bonnie & Clyde and we have gotten use to referring to them as such. Things are changing in the Celebrity World and that means things are changing for us regular folks too since they are our opinion leaders.

Since I don't have cable anymore in m...

No matter if you go to the park, frolic around in your yard, or take a stay-cation taking time off from your work routine and the hustle and bustle of life, it's the type of down time we all need to keep our spirits and energy high. Maybe you are one of the lucky ones who can do what my Son's fiance did. She took a long weekend off from work and cruised to the Bahamas, had a few drinks and bonded with family. I'm sure your beautiful home and your fancy car(s) will be...

Singer Tyrese and The Chopped & Screwed Rapper Ludacris zooming in cars and flossing in the Fast Car Movies had a lot to do with changing our perception of racing o...

There always those girls out there that seem to be on the prowl, seeking out Ballers to provide the finer things of life. I decided to put a twist on the way I acknowledge their worth, showing love and shouting out all the true bosses in the game. No names and no blame. I do care enough to speak up for what's in my best interest. That's sort of what my acapella lyrical rendition is about. If it is about more than music to you, then, music is truly serving its purpose.

When Jay-Z and Kanye Wes...

Everyone loves to love on the Carter's. No matter if you lean toward Jay-Z or Beyonce, there is no denying, they look good together. There are a couple of problems that are not a part of Jay-Z's 99 and those familiar with Beyonce's talent and drive will agree with this statement, even if they have to whisper about it, grin inwardly, or sing their own answer in a tune themselves. The problem is clear! Beyonce sings her hardest when you go after her neck or her man! She is t...

Beyonce Knowles has been buzzing since before 2013's beginning. First it was the Pepsi Announcement, then came her nod to show you what she has during the Super Bowls Halftime Show.

The new year seemed to bring Queen Bee more media attention, as she was chosen once again to be a part of President Obama's Celebration, during the Inauguration. If that wasn't enough to show everyone just how far and wide her Star Power stretches, the paparazzi showed Eiffel Tower Love by photograph...

The club scene is different everywhere you go, depending on a number of things. Side bar festivities can include, performers, food, VIP Rooms, celebrities, and crowds mixed with hood ballers. No matter what is going on around you, in the club, one thing that is never left out of the equation for the 21 and over crowd is boos.

Is the glass half empty or ...

Jay-Z must have envisioned the greatness that would define President Obamas entrance into the Oval Office. He proved his belief in the Presidential hopeful, back in 2008, when he supported him. He even made a song in honor of Obamas first term in the White House and a change in the course of history, as it is related to race in the White House. The song, History marked a New Day for America, setting our great country on a journey that has lead us to the moment we celebrate today, Ba...

Thinking outside of the blog means having a voice before you get there. Great leaders, throughout the course of history, have found a way to share their voice and expertise with constituents. Call it charisma or whatever other name you choose. Martin Luther King Jr. did it and changed a nation! Finding your voice means you have, some type of ideological point of view, something to share that can possibly change a life. Your beliefs and what you stand for are, what it ...

The idea of what it means to be a "Creative" in any field requires a different level of understanding, as far as relationships go. Networking has to take on a whole new meaning, if true connections are to happen. Intimacy, community, and commitment is required, sharing is involved, and one persons success can ultimately be tied to the actions of someone else emotionally, mentally, and physically. All three connections really define what love means. A connection with someone that goes beyond...

Movie toting tht iron, put a gun in your ribs, DMX on blast cuz he shed some tears. No one expected the emotional mommy code to break the man down who once criticized the nautical style of New York's own Jay-Z. Dramatically I say, ain't nothing wrong with a man crying. It's not like he really lying.

There are those of you who doubt the sincerity of the DMX outburst. Seriously, can an actor have serious melt downs too? We believe the answer is yes. Take a look at the video for yourself, a...

All it took for Cristal to go Hip-Hop is for Rapverse Leaders like the Nortorious B-I-G and Jay-Z to put the brand in a bar or two and there you have it, Cristal made it to Rap's Big Time. The same thing could happen for Poet's Leap. The name alone gives it a lot of credence. Here is a picture of the Abornewords alternative to Cristal.

Although, it is not laced in gold wrapping like the average bottle of Cristal, the flavor is said to be very clean, leaving a lingering taste with every ...

Beyonce may be shying away from being the hot diva babe with the hot bod, but her hubby gladly takes over to assist.

The couple were said to be vacationing in St. Barths, France. Now that's how soaking up the sun looks celebrity style. A bottle of that chilly chilly is near and Jay-Z appears to be sipping on something cool on this very hot day. It al...

Marcy, Rocawear, and his executive mind. Respect is due to Mr. Shawn Corey Carter. He collaborated and almost single handedly built the RocaWear Brand, by using a business model that made everyone feel like family. Wearing the brand is really only an after thought when you consider how he possed up the RocaWear Clan and the diversity of creativity to give everyone at shot a making it big. All of the RocaWear Stars are the reason everyone is still throwing up the Roc Sign. Make no mistake ab...

Beyonce made her intention to become a mother by age 30 very clear before she actually made the big announcement of her pregnancy to the world on live television.
