Now in the news story it says the sequel will feature "a new verse from Jay." Singular. What are they gonna do with the rest of the song?? Are they gonna play 2 of the other verses?? Is Alicia gonna drop some verses?? Will they let the beat ride?? And as far as the verse goes, what is he gonna talk about?? Will he throw a jab at Beans?? I'm almost positive he'll make mention of the Yankees winning their 27th championship. Oh well, we'll see.
Empire State of Mind Part 2 will be on Alicia Keys' new album The Element Of Freedom due December 15th.
2) Game's The R.E.D. Album Pushed Back
The new release date is February 16th, 2010 according to the man himself via Twitter. I hope he makes some better shit than what he's put out so far. All that shit has been WEAK! I wouldn't be surprised if the real reason his album got pushed back was the negative response to the records he dropped last week. Not impressive whatsoever.
3) Mr Hudson Says Kanye Is Back To Rapping
In a guest blog in the UK's Daily Star, Mr Hudson wrote the following:
"And Kanye’s getting back into rapping. He might make an old-school record on a tape deck, like the Beastie Boys used to do. Just a drum machine, ghetto blaster and a microphone."
That would be nice, especially coming off of that 808s & Heartbreak bullshit. The white world chewed him up and spit him out and now its time for him to come home and make some real music just like the good ol' days. I'm supporting you Yeezy!
4) Dame Dash Says He Has No Beef With Beanie Sigel, Jay-Z
And well he shouldn't. I blame Dame for everything, he was greedy and he ruined shit for himself. I could be wrong, but that's just how it seems to me.
5) Mos Def, Curren$y, & Jay Electronica Record Group Album
They're going by the name Center Edge Territory and they already have 6 records in the bag. This should be interesting. We'll just have to wait and see if anything serious ever comes of this.
Speaking of groups, whatever happened to CRS?? That damn Us Placers came out in 2007! Maybe one day they'll give their 2nd song lol.
6) Redman Auto-Tunes New Album
Welp, looks like I won't be checking for that shit after all.
