USA Vs. China @ 10:15 on NBC don’t slack!
August 10th, 2008 at 7:15 am
Kanye will indeed be producing most, if not all, of the album. Remember back in the day when an artist would do a whole album with one producer for cohesiveness? Think classic Snoop or Jeru with Primo… and fast forward it to 2008.
Jay will be leaking the finished version of Jockin’ as soon as he adds a new 3rd verse to the song.
Tracks to look for include the aforementioned Jockin’ Jay-Z and a new track entitled Victory that the rumor mill says is simply amazing.

“….simply amazing”
nation, edit your posts for spelling: you look retarded.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:38 am
no offence to con but damn homie what the fu&* is up with your teeth, shit looks messed up homie. Lookin like you are wearing some over sized denters. I hope homie reads this and takes some of that money hes been getting on tour and fix that shit up. *how much wood can a wood chuck chuck*
August 10th, 2008 at 7:46 am
“Simply Amazing” is the correct spelling….

jay dropping an album in another 2 3 years > bp3 dropping 4th quarter
August 10th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Well i do, i mean ima big fan im naturally gonna embrace new material….some people think that hov is over but i disagree, sure his knee might not be the same but hes still better then 95 % of the rappers out…..Remember this is just my opinion…..you know when you like an artist,athlete, actor etccc your gonna like the majority of there stuff while other people may hate it….I mean did we really need a Nas album? A lot of people may say hell no, i wanted a nas album….i bet if you was talking about black power or conscious issues you would embrace a new hov album…
August 10th, 2008 at 9:41 am
i meant if hov** was talking about
August 10th, 2008 at 9:47 am
Also, the idea that Kanye is gonna produce most of the album to me is like……well im at a lose of words….
August 10th, 2008 at 9:53 am
I AINT SCARED OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS….
As far as camel suit, i hope this album is fucking crazyyyyyyyyyy….weather he waits or not i hope its a dope album, but honestly i feel he should of waited….
August 10th, 2008 at 9:55 am
Yea maybe he should of waited but ill be honest i dont want a hov album when hes 40…..thats like ahhh chill, so i think he should make 1 or 2 at most more before he hits 40….then i think he should just fade away…..
August 10th, 2008 at 9:57 am
nigga whats the difference between 39 and 40 lol
August 10th, 2008 at 10:00 am
you know 40 sounds way more worse then 38…..40 is like oh shit hes in his 40′s…..you what im saying…..plus with hov’s recent touring in europe niggas love him again….its the right time to put out an album
August 10th, 2008 at 10:00 am
i wouldnt tell LL stop making albums because of his age….
depends what kinda records hes making…..
LL wont ever get that because of the types of records hes making
you dont wanna hear jay talking gangster, i dont
August 10th, 2008 at 10:01 am
i dont know if you heard, but 40 is the new 28
August 10th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Lol ^ yea yea yea
On another note i really hope nas can put this 2 albums coming out in the same day shit with Primo and Dre…..thats like a hip hop heads wet dream (Pause/nomo/nope)……i have an idea on how hes gonna do it….hes gonna record 20 tracks and split them up into 2 10 track albums….
August 10th, 2008 at 10:05 am
you dont wanna hear jay talking gangster, i dont
^^^^^^
SMh but when jay talks that kingdom come shit its wack to right? so whats he supposed to talk about?….he tried keepin it real and got scolded for it…
August 10th, 2008 at 10:07 am
50 has been rich for 5 years and walks around with armed guard at all times, jay has been filthy rich for 10 years and walks around with his girl…..but 50′s allowed to talk that gangster shit….im confused
August 10th, 2008 at 10:07 am
mannnnnnnnnnn dont believe the hype…
same nigga said timbo was gon produce the whole jay album….
LF: I throw 89mph with control….what you know about that???
my range is more like 83-85, 86 a few times but i hit 89 twice..
whats fucking with that??? i havent even played like that for 3 years.. straight booga and suga
August 10th, 2008 at 10:09 am
The reason no one cares about LL and they care about hov is because hov has had an immortal run and naturally niggas wanna see him fall, theres way more pressure on jay then LL….LL hasnt had a platinum album for 8 years….nobody even knows when LL is dropping
August 10th, 2008 at 10:11 am
Jay never sais timbo was, timbo said he was…..then jay publicly shot that rumor down….now jay drops a kanye produced Jocking Jay-z, im more inclined to believe that kanye is gonna produce a lot of tracks
August 10th, 2008 at 10:13 am
LF: i went to the little leauge all-star game 6 times….pop corn and grass hoper…….pitcher, 3rd base and right field….
August 10th, 2008 at 10:14 am

August 10th, 2008 at 10:18 am

^^ THAT mentality is why they got merked in the past. I feel you tho (none). International competition is on a differentlevel these days. I still say anything less than GOLD is inexcuseable.

Anytime Team USA is playing… u can find me on nah. I’m making it my duty to see every game through.
August 10th, 2008 at 11:27 am
NAn thats gonna be tough because 97 % of the games are at 8 AM….
August 10th, 2008 at 11:30 am
If u are in the states… that would be a problem. I’m not. I stay in Japan.
Even though Im here, the basketball games arent being shown on regular TV so I am using a Chinese website to watch it. These chinese announcers are giving me a headache for reel.
August 10th, 2008 at 11:32 am
@ Nan
Oh shit i didnt know that, dam why wouldnt they show it on t.v…..so what time is it over there right now?
August 10th, 2008 at 11:36 am
12:33AM. I work afternoons and evening so I come on nah at late night when the nah morning shift is doing their thing.
I dont have cable, but the regular channels are playing olympic soccer right now. basketball isnt too huge here. hopefully later on they will give some respect to TEAN USA.
August 10th, 2008 at 11:38 am
*TEAM
u get the idea
August 10th, 2008 at 11:43 am
Oh iight, thats wassup
August 10th, 2008 at 11:49 am
These dudes dont stand half a chance. There’s no catching up. USA’s getting lazy with it,though. They should go in all the way, just to make a statement.
August 10th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
aight. im out. stay up.
August 10th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
@nanyanen – it was said that they discussed holding back a little bit with respect to china…
please believe everyone else will get their shit rocked one way or another
when will this Q-tip album drop???
August 10th, 2008 at 2:55 pm

August 10th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Herbie Hancock rather, excuse mah French
August 10th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
The one thing I notice most is a lot of y’all fothermuckers can’t spell simple ass words. Sheesh the school system fails yet another batch.
August 11th, 2008 at 11:17 am
Damn that Herbie record that Tip was playing is dope as f*ck?
