I have AutoTune on my computer. I’m pretty slick with it, but I’m no T-Pain.Instead of scrambling to dismiss Jay-Z’s claims on “Death of AutoTune,” the technology’s creator Antares Audio is using the superstar’s stance for product advertisement.Dubbed the “next generation” of professional pitch correction, Antares Audio has created Auto-Tune Evo.[...]The Auto-Tune is often confused [...]
According to the Billboard website:“Sony is Roc Nation. That’s where Roc Nation’s going through,” Jay-Z told Billboard.com on Friday (June 29). As for the deal he recently signed with Atlantic, he clarifies that it is a one-off situation for his upcoming album, “Blueprint 3,” slated for a September 11th release.“That’s pretty much just for this [...]

I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on Facebook, Twitter, and in the comment section about my recent criticism of the whole “D.O.A.” fad right now. Let me break it down one last time.Like other hip hop junkies, I tuned in to Hot 97 for the world premiere of of Jay-Z’s new song:Overall I liked the [...]
One thing is for sure when Hov speaks, EVERYONE listens. Hot 97 debuted this track tonight & with the direction hop-hop has taken lately, Jigga goes in for battle. Silences any & all speculations that hip-hop is dead. WIth D.O.A. the acronym for Death of Auto-tune he lets it be known, rappers need to return to the roots of hip-hop, where lyrics really had solid meaning. Jigga can't leave rap al...
There are few rappers that have ever captured my attention to the extent that Jay-Z has. Granted, I didn't come around till he was rhymin' over samples from Annie, but when I finally did get around to listening to him I ate up everything he had done before it as well. That obviously means Jay's seminal work Reasonable Doubt, a record that has been hailed in all circles of the music world as one
Now I bet THIS was a show! My man Steve at OGHipHop.com was at the Jay-Z show in LA last night and has the full scoop up on his site, complete with videos. Jay brought out guests such as Memphis Bleek, T.I., and DJ AM (who made his first public appearance since suriving that fatal [...]

A financial goal he has yet to achieve-- unless those rich-person-counters at Forbes are hating on Hova, too, but if so wouldn't he have rapped about it?-- which could go some way to explain this new, Kanye West-produced single. It was impossible to ignore the marketing brilliance of premieri...
I was excited as hell to see Jay in concert with fellow moggers David Hyman (along with his better half), and BrittanyBF. As someone who regularly recites random Jay-Z lines to people as they stare blankly back at me like an idiot, going to see Jigga was on the list of things to do before I die.Being that Mary J. has 16 years of hits to rifle through, and Jay-Z has 12, there wasn't much time fo...

I've been out of pocket literally all day today and look what drops on us! I know every other hip hop blog posted this new track almost yesterday, but you know I gotta support Hov here. The track is fire, btw, and produced by Kanye West. Off of the new soundtrack to the Biggie bio, [...]
So you thought there were a ton of Probama songs prior to the election? Just wait as the flood gates start to open.
