Nothing says summer quite like the quintessential road trip and I was lucky to embark on one of epic proportions earlier this week (epic to me, at least — it was my first).  If I was given one word of advice (other than that cops in Utah are assholes and stay in the right lane, [...]

Check out the video for the Otis, the first single from Jay-Z & Kanye West‘s collaboration project, Watch the Throne. Directed by Spike Jonze, the video is on some Mad Max shit.  Truly. PS – If you want to see Kanye fall on his ass, check out the video below.

Itunes released the new Kanye/ Jay-Z record, Watch the Throne yesterday. Best Buy has the exclusive CD release for 10 days beginning August 12th. Independent record store owners are pretty pissed about it. They addressed the artists in a letter: Dear Jay-Z and Kanye West, Independent record stores serve our communities. Our passion is music, [...]

A few weeks ago, I seriously thought that Kanye West and Jay-Z‘s collaboration project, Watch the Throne was never going to see the light of day, however the fellas proved me wrong.  Production credits for the 12-track album are held down by Kanye himself as well as Rza and The Neptunes with special guest appearances [...]

Otis, the first track off of Jay-Z and Kanye West‘s collaboration project, Watch the Throne, dropped earlier this week to mixed reviews (I, for one, am a huge fan — throw in an Otis Redding sample and I’m butter). If you have an extra few minutes, be sure to watch the “making of” Watch the [...]

A few days ago, while I was tweeting aimlessly about watermelons & Justin Bieber, I heard that Sade had apparently agreed to do a song with Jay-Z. So, as part of my regular routine, I tweeted my one hundred and forty characters on the subject, and carried on with my day of classes. About an [...]

Quite frankly, there’s a huge part of me that would love to see Kanye West assume the role of full-time creative director. Time magazine recently said, “Kanye West can seem like an attention-hungry young child who constantly tugs on his mother’s pant leg, saying, ‘Watch this! Watch this!’” … and I couldn’t agree with that [...]

Sometimes, I wake up in the morning to surprises in my inbox — this morning wasn’t any different.  I actually thought that this track would bang a lot more than it does — something about having a track titled That’s My Bitch probably doesn’t need a choir singing a chorus… at least the way that [...]

The buzz around Jay Electronica has been pretty fucking crazy in the past year and the past few days have been no different — Jay has signed with Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation.  Check out his latest track, Shiny Suit Theory which features his label head as well as one of my favorite voices, The-Dream.  The beat [...]

In anticipation of his autobiography on November 16, Jay-Z has teamed with search engine Bing to create a super geeky version of hide and seek.  The book will be released one page at a time at a physical unknown location daily in cities around the world that correspond to the text on the page that [...]

PopLemons know that there’s a fairly moderate Jay-Z obsession that runs through the transmission wires of our blood.  One of my favorite tracks, La-La-La, can be considered one of the most slept on and rolled over classic Hova tracks.  It’s hard to believe that this track dropped almost five years ago as part of the [...]
