Check out Jay-Z’s new video for his single “Forever Young” featuring Kanye West’ protege, Mr. Hudson off the Blueprint 3. Definitely love the cinematic feel of the video. And by the way, this is one of my favs on the album.

“Forever young I wanna be forever young…”

ON DECK or OFF DECK?!

A while back it was rumored that the Louis Vuitton Don aka Kanye West quit rapping for singing after he switched up his sound for his latest album, 808s and Heartbreak. Well, if that were true Kanye would definitely need to take a few singing lessons. According to his protégé Mr. Hudson, ‘Ye is actually back in the studio spittin’ rhymes for a traditional hip-hop record. He says,

“Kanye’s getting back into rapping. He might make an old-school record on a tape deck, just like the Beastie Boys used to do. Just a drum machine, ghetto blaster and a microphone.”

Meanwhile, Busta Rhymes’ pockets have just gotten a little lighter as he’s been ordered to pay $75,000 to a fan he allegedly assaulted in 2003. Busta’s alleged beatdown victim, Alex Duncan accused the rapper and his bodyguard of whoopin’ his ass during a break at the rapper’s concert in Albany, NY. Duncan won the case due to an emotional testimony in which he claimed the ass whoopin’ was so severe that he suffered from anxiety attacks and nightmares ever since. Busta tells the NY Post,

“I don’t even go to parties anymore, because there’s always someone asking, ‘What happened to that Busta Rhymes case?’”
