Jay-Z – On to the Next One

New music video for Jay-Z feat. Swizz Beats “On to the Next One” from Blueprint 3.   Interesting imagery used here; this video will only fuel the “Jay-Z is a satanic worshipper rumors”. Otherwise, interesting video though – much better than the rest of the garbage out there.

Jay-Z Fan Art

I guess Jay is at a level where he can get a dedicated post of abstract art designed by his fans. The Blueprint 3 continues to do extremely well even in this rocky economic climate — but I guess good music, is good music. And it is something that the game has been missing for awhile. Which goes to show you that hip-hop is not dead, the recording industry is only in as much trouble as the garbage albums that its members put out.

Like that movie the ‘field of dreams’ or something, ‘build it, and they will come’ – guess that is why Jay-Z made the Blueprint; and had to make 3 editions for the game.

I thought it was photoshopped, but apparently the cover was designed by something called ‘humans’ who specialize in something called ‘art’.

The various Jay-Z Commercials

Jay-Z

Jay-Z may be bigger than hip-hop; well, that is debatable, but what isn’t up for debate is Jay-Z’s ability to be a bona fide television commercial star. All of Jay-Z’s commercials are usually tight, creative, and fresh, check below:

Young Jeezy ft. Jay-z – President is Black (remix)

Young Jeezy goes at Fox News pundits Bill O’Reilly & Dennis Miller.  Jay-Z steals the show though, as he spits a few lines that really have to make you run the track back a couple of times – I am not hating though, because that is what HIP-HOP should make you do …

Oh yeah, here is what ignited Jeezy’s response, getting past the arrogance and the hate, they do have somewhat of a point, but in show business, you gotta play to your audience.

Seems like the leaders of the right are still trying to rally their base.

DipSet vs. G-Unit and Roc-a-Fella

This mixtape takes one back down memory lane to the late 90’s to early 2000’s when the hip-hop game was fierce with lyrical competition from the likes of Freeway, Beenie Siegel, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Camron, Juelz Santana and others.  DJ Whiteowl produces a nice blend of popular and underground tracks.
