We shall meet at the tabernacle later.
Go n download the bonus track. . . . .It contains more than the music videos.
There's a 40 min Jigga interview, photos and the making of the album. It's a 2-hr package.[/quote]Wow . . .I'll see if I can download those parts separately.

Forget bout him if you don't dunk in the same basket . . . that' exactly what Nas shoulda done to 50 Cent, but he let the family insults get to him.

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=311128.msg4551697#msg4551697 date=1253063483]It has to be a new beginning cause with all he has achieved i am yet to see any rapper out there hungrier to make more good music than him
Jay-Z has been bigger than hip-hop since Dear Summer!! Did you miss the " I got a brand new bitch called Corporate America" line on that track?
I wish he did another song with Coldplay though[/quote]I heard Dear Summer came just about the same time he released Kingdom Come
I couldn't forgive him for doing another 'I'm rich' album . . .
I expect a new trend of rappers dmping their record labels for the ones popular with rock artstes . . .

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=323249.msg4551711#msg4551711 date=1253063631]Putting one's self about like a nuisance has nothing to do with being famous.
The surest way of knowing the most famous is the number of hits on the internet. . . . .Forget the interviews, shows, and what nots.
Mode-9 in Nigeria has granted more interviews in the past 18 months than Kanye and he ain't nowhere. Empty barrels make. . . . .
Kanye is not popular than 50 cent, Paris Hilton, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and Beyonce. . . . .Never mind Eminem.[/quote]All subjective views without evidence.
Let's get back to the topic before Seun de-mods me

Oh yeah. . .another rap thread. Shoot me now!!!

I'll let him have it . . . what do I get for my good behaviour??

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=323249.msg4551647#msg4551647 date=1253062873]New century??
Like Eminem belongs to the last century.
It was at the turn of the decade he dropped MMLP that sold 19 million records.
Em >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kanye(in everything).[/quote]2000 to 2009 . . . that's 9 years.
Sinc then, there's been 9/11, War in Iraq, Bush even got his face pelted with shoes
Eminem is last century, accept it

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=323249.msg4551647#msg4551647 date=1253062873]Eminem was the highest selling rapper in the world before the MC beef and the Bruno bullshit.
Eminem whoop[b]ed[/b] Jigga's ass in the best rapper alive schitzo. . . . .Let it be known Kanye is Jigga's lap dog. [/quote]What can I say . . . Eminem's popularity can only be referred to using past tense

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=323249.msg4551647#msg4551647 date=1253062873]All these events were before the launch of Relapse so get your facts right.[/quote]Nah . . . you don't say!!!
Two/Three weeks to the album release date, was he supposed to start promoting it a year after

chic2pimp:
Liam is a douche bag. That ugly mofo should keep his mouth shut. Silly little man.

Excessive talking just broke up the band.

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=311128.msg4551582#msg4551582 date=1253061849]I most definitely didn't!!see the thing was before the album came out i thought the number of guest appearances would over-dilute the flavor and make it sound BP2 ish but i was pleasantly suprised.
Jay is still attached to the tracks like symphony lol you just wonder if he's ever going to retire cos he still has so much left in him you feel he can rap till he's 50[/quote]Blueprint 3 is a new begining not only for Jay-Z but for hiphop.
He can't do this and just leave . . . he told us 'welcome to tomorrow'

It just goes to prove that the best way to live forever is to be reborn every ten years
Jay-Z is bigger than hiphop, he wants to go towards controlling music. . . his record label must have influenced this heavily.
That's why it's more towards the creative music side than the rap/hiphop side.

@topic
Thank You - Jay-Z

ThiefOfHearts:
If he truly believed in what he did, he wouldnt have apologized nor cried like a little bitch like he did on jay leno last night

After all he didnt apologize for his outburst against Bush.

He's apologised for each of his MTV moments

lol@r kelly being more popular than kanye

sauron's radio must be stuck in 1998

I can't believe I missed that

Eminem epitomises the word "famous".
Just 2 words. . . . . "White" and "Rapper" and 70% of the world population will scream EMINEM.[/quote]If Eminem trusted his popularity why did he need to cook beef with Mariah Carey to sell records?? Why did he have to suck Bruno's bum on live TV??

It's about how active you are . . . it's flipping Chicago
Mention the word 'rapper' and half those people mention Kanye West first
Why?? Cus he's in their faces.

The Kanyes and Lil Waynes of this world are more popular than the Eminems, R-Kelly and LL Cool Js . . . cus it's the flipping new century

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=323249.msg4551484#msg4551484 date=1253060460]U are living in the past.
The information is not far-fetched.
Google Eminem and Kanye West and tell the number of hits each geezer has got.

Eminem compared to Kanye West??
U must be in la-la land.
Rihanna is more popular than Kanye. . . . .FACT!!!![/quote]Your stats date back to 2002 or sumn.
Kanye West and Lil Wayne have been the most popular hiphop artistes since Stronger
Heavily featured, politically active, crossover king, paparazzi attracting, music and video directing hiphop mogul

Eminem is soooo last five years.

The album cover?? One word: Futuristic!!

Forever Young - Jay-Z ft Mr Hudson[/quote]You have to admit . . . you didn't expect this
At best we expected a 'Show Me What U Got'ish album . . . with five tracks talking bout how rich he is.

This is an experiment gone purrfect, I think it's his fightback against Noel Gallagher for saying Hiphop isn't Music
As I said before, it's too good for 2009.

Lil Wayne
Jay-Z

R.Kelly.

I can go on and on.
Kanye West is a nobody. . . . . .Stop hyping him more than his capabilities/talents.[/quote]In what world is Eminem more popular than Kanye??
This is not 2003 remember?? Eminem had to do outright shameless things to sell his album.
Sucking Borat's arse, picking up fights with Mariah, releasing a video game . . . it's easy to see that Em's dead and gone like Justin and T.I

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=311128.msg4551343#msg4551343 date=1253057911]Real as it gets - Jay-Z ft Young Jeezy (this song gets me higher than a million e-piils)[/quote]The whole album is just too good for this year . . .
Right from the album cover . . . it's obvious that Jay-Z will not be confined to the limits that come with hiphop

stillwater:
Wish he usurped Lady gaga's performance not Taylor Swift.

True say . . .
That woulda got Obama to twitter him a big thank you on behalf of every American

People say Kanye did it for publicity. . .  
Name five entertainers today that are more popular than Kanye.

It's easy to spot the trend, white America's votes skew the awards and not everyone will accept that
Justin wins awards in his sleep because the white teens adore him . . . MTV needs to do sumn bout this

[quote author=TOPE2000! link=topic=323249.msg4551319#msg4551319 date=1253057555]yeye boy . . .even kanye knew what he did was wrong afterwards n thats the most important thing plus he apologised [/quote]Apologies don't mean nuffin in show biz . . .
He made his point and it got across heavily, see how many EMAs our Hiphop/RnB pips will get next year.

He sacrificed his popularity for what he felt was a greater cause, I'm proud of him.

tubabie:
Hmmm, well he should just lay off making unsolicited and irresponsible speeches.

He'll keep doing it . . . that's the Kanye we've come to know and have to love

tubabie:
I sort of liked the rant too but that Kanye is a rat!!!

I don't mind him as long as he keeps making good music

We've finally become Man City . . . infact the way we're taking this thing, Celtic will describe us better.
Going after players is something only small clubs do.

What next, are we going to construct a massive 'Ban Adebayor' board in North London??

Home-grown rule introduced

The Premier League have introduced a home-grown player rule which will come into effect from next season, alongside a limit on squad sizes.

From the 2010/11 campaign, the 20 Premier League clubs have voted to introduce measures which will see all teams required to have eight home-grown players out of a squad of 25.

Chief executive Richard Scudamore confirmed the changes, with clubs only able to make alterations to their squads during the two transfer windows.

"As of next season clubs will be required to have a squad named of up to 25 players, of which no more than 17 can be over the age of 21 and not home grown," Scudamore said.

"The definition of home grown is trained for three years under the age of 21 by somebody in the English and Welsh professional system.

"Clubs will have to declare their 25 at the end of August when the window shuts and then again at the end of January."

Players who are aged under 21 are eligible over and above the limit of 25 players per squad.

Incentive
Scudamore does not believe the move will encourage clubs to hoard young foreign players and claims the England team will ultimately reap the reward.

"It's not in the club's interests to stockpile players. It will make buying home-grown talent more attractive," he said.

"We're not going down the route of a nationality test but what this will mean is that you just can't buy a team from abroad.

"We think it will give clubs an extra incentive to invest in youth. We think that one of the benefits will be that it will help the England team."

All 20 Premier League members also agreed to adhere to a set of financial reporting rules designed to protect the viability and sustainability of the clubs

ThiefOfHearts:
Um first off, like I said Beyonce was gonna get that award. Everyone knows this. Best video of the YEAR wasnt gonna go to anyone but Beyonce. Kanye's rampage had nothing to do with that.

as for MTV always favoring country musicians. That's not true. Most of them arent even shown on MTV which is why they have THEIR OWN channel and award show. Taylor is only successful now cos she crossed over from country to pop. She's popular among teens and her music isnt sexual in nature, Im not surprised it won and I knew it wasnt gonna win Video of the Year.

To be honest i figured Video Of The Year was gonna go to Heartless but it wasnt nominated so I knew it was going to Single Ladies

I put 'country' in italics to show where Kanye woulda just said 'white'

As I said it's bigger than just the 2009 VMAs
It's sumn Kanye had been waiting to say on live TV for years.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=323249.msg4550029#msg4550029 date=1253038544]@ Eldee,

Kanye is not the only Black artiste at the award.
He is a disgrace to the black race. . . .No class, no dignity, no nous.
I can't stand the loser these days.[/quote]He's the only one that was affected enough to speak.
It's like one Malcolm X among a million members of the Civil Rights Movement.

I bought the one without the bonus tracks
I already got the videos from UK I-tunes so I didn't see the need.

chic2pimp:
We obviously learnt it from the germans. Useless mutete.

Dayo's a hater . . .
When we start talking, he'll point out BMW
Making cars is meant to be one big thing . . . that will make Japan the most powerful nation in the world

We all know how many times he's complained bout the way MTV tends to favour country musicians.
You say he shoulda said it in an interview, come on . . . he's said it everywhere, even on the Ellen Degeneres show.

MTV knew what was going to happen ever since, it was just bottled agression with a bit of alcohol.
If they really wanted to avoid this, they'd have stopped inviting him since when he threw tantrums when he lost an award to Justin.

And bout the Beyonce thing . . . it's obvious they only gave her the award to avoid any more trouble.

ThiefOfHearts:
The Kayne you are all rooting for ended up apologizing after Beyonce made him look stupid and Tyalor Swift's mom talked to him.

He said "Single Ladies" was the best video of the year. At the end of it, it won that same award he whined about (she was gonna win it anyway) so what's the problem?

Of course he had to apologise, not because he felt he was wrong but because he took it to the extreme.
But everyone knows he made his point, the same way he made his point in the 'George Bush does not care bout blacks' thing

chic2pimp:
EXACTLY. Roddick's chances aside,that match was plain and boring. There was little skill on show throughout the duration of that match. Anyone seeking a cure for insonmia should re watch that match.

Little skill?? I've still got it on Sky+ . . . call me if u want to watch it.

chic2pimp:
Don't ya think I am aware of that? . I should probably rephrase my statement. Federer is making a habit of loosing 5 setters in GrandSlam Finals.

Erm . . . did you sleep through the Wimbledon Final??

What a way to end it all . . .
Mens': First Time Finalist
Women: Retired mother, unseeded wildcard

davidylan:
The US crowd is so silent. What a shock.   Federer has finally been beaten in a grandslam final by someone other than Rafa. Argentina will be quaking now.
I think every Nadal supporter (like me) wanted Fedex to lose.

Of course . . . I wanted Federer to lose.
But I never expect Del Potro to do it.

No rubbish speech today . . . Yikes!!!

davidylan:
It will be just a blip . . . Djokovic won AO 2007 beating Fed in the semis and we all hailed the arrival of a new king . . . what happened later?

I'm not saying there'll be a new king
I'm saying it'll become a big three . . . Federer's still going to be on top years to come

davidylan:
I almost didnt watch this game because i thought it would be another routine straight sets win for the Fedex . . . man i think Del Po will be strongly making a claim to unseat Murray from #3 very soon.

You know what's on my mind now?? 'How do I explain this to my mates tomorrow??'

WOW!!! Should I let myself fall for this??
If Del wins, it'll be the begining of a whole new era in tennis history.
Dude is so freaking fearless!!!

If only Soderling was half of this in SW19.

OMO IBO:
i dey feel Federer heart beat.
It is pounding real fast

He looks so bleeping calm for a man that's fighting to break a world record for number of consecutive grandslam titles.

How the Bleep did he do it??
