Best of 2011: Jay-Z and Kanye West want us to ‘Watch the Throne’

Jay-Z and Kanye West are the George Clooney and Brad Pitt of the hip-hop world. They have balance of swagger, talent, and cockiness that we either hate or love. They also tend to have a way of showing the world that they are better than us without shoving it in our face…well, at least Hova...

Jay-Z and Kanye West Cause a Ruckus in the new “Otis” Video

In their new Spike Jonze-directed video for “Otis”, Jay-Z and Kanye West further prove that they are way cooler than you by deconstructing an expensive car and getting a bunch of girls in booty shorts to go joyriding in an abandoned warehouse district.

‘Watch the Throne,’ ‘True Blood’ and Chico’s: A Hump Day Tweet Report

It’s only Wednesday and my Twitter account is on FIRE! I have been coming up with the most clever tweets since Sunday. From the release of Watch the Throne to the latest bat-shit crazy episode of True Blood, I think I am pretty darn funny — and I may be the only one who thinks...

Only Jay-Z can make a conceptual hip-hop video really cool. For extra credit, how many fashion references does Hova make in this song?

U2 and Jay-Z have a ‘Bloody Sunday’

I was actually kinda nervous about the Jay-Z and U2 collabo at the MTV European Music Awards, but after Hova got into the groove with Bono and company, it made perfect sense: U2 – New Music – More Music Videos I must admit, there was a moment where I was expecting Lil’ Mama to jump...

A Finer Week for Jolie, magical album covers and militant vegetarians

- I didn’t care about the H&M and Jimmy Choo collabo (pictured left) until I found out they also had menswear. Now I am actually considering shopping at H&M again. - And there’s no other way to celebrate an H&M collabo by suing your mom. Yes, we’re talking to you Tamara Mellon. - Angelina Jolie...

Jay-Z knows his fashion labels

Wasn’t it funny how Lil Mama made a fool of herself on Sunday night when she had the bright idea to hop on stage while Jay-Z and Alicia Keys at the VMAs? With that out of the way, I have been dissecting his latest tune, “Run This Town” featuring Rihanna and Kanye “I keep on...
