Hip hop has been in a sorry state, luckily this old head Jay-Z still makes good and original rap. His 9-11 benefit is at MSG this Friday, I can see the garden from my window and it's gonna be busy with huge as trucks pulling up all day as people get ready for it. what I'm trying to say is that in 20 years no one will remember who Lil' Wayne is.
