Rolling Stone Magazine has crowned Jay-Z the “King of America” as he graces the cover of the publication’s June 2010 issue set to hit newsstands June 24th. In the issue, Jay-Z talks wifey Beyonce, his buddy Lebron James, his biggest challenges while he was the president of Def Jam and what Hip-hop is lacking. Check out this excerpt…
“I love the energy coming out indie rock right now,” he says, name-checking Grizzly Bear. “It has this rebellion thing that hip-hop is missing now, the thing that made hip-hop hip-hop.”

Now that Diddy is attempting to re-create the Notorious B.I.G. and Lil Kim with his new clients rapper Rick Ross and Barbie Nicki Minaj, expect to hear a whole lot of a$$ kissing from him. In an interview with MTV, Diddy went as far as comparing Nicki Minaj to the greats (ie: Lebron James, Tiger Woods and Kobe Bryant). Really?
“Nicki Minaj, she’s definitely one of the great ones. She has a long way to go, but you know how we recognized LeBron [James] was a great one, Tiger [Woods] was a great one, and Kobe [Bryant] was a great one? Nicki is up there. Her story has just begun.”
Sure Nicki has these other b*tches hypnotized with her bubble gum rhymes, but she is far from being one of the “great ones”. I’m convinced he’s smashin’!
