Jay-Z speaks on working with Kanye + Kanye didn't support mom's choice

Jay-Z was one of 40 New Yorkers interviewed for Time Out New York magazine:

You’re the only rapper on this list. We were considering Nas but have this 13-year rule: People on this list had to have had an impact in the last 13 years.
How about Kanye? Has he earned it yet?

Jay-Z: He’s from Chicago, but he’s close. I don’t know if he’s had that one album that’s moved the entire culture, but he’s hit it three times in a row. He’ll be on every list one day.


Are you guys really teaming up for Blueprint 3?
Jay-Z: Yeah, actually. We’re partners right now. Starsky and Hutch right now.

Rumors are swirling that Jay-Z is looking to open 40/40 clubs all over the U.S. and our lovely city will be one. Interesting



Lupe on David Letterman. I’m mad Dave kept calling him Loopy. SMH

Also Lupe isn’t voting in the coming elections but said if he would it would be for Hillary.
Well Rhymefest had some words for him: I'm not one to judge a person's political, religious or [even] artistic views; however, the reasons that this artist gave were so fucking erroneous and outrageous that it compels me to speak out, even if only to give fans the right information so that we are not following uninformed-ass rappers down the hole of 'abstract nothingness.'

Was it that serious?? No.
