Just when we think loyalty is a dying trait, here comes No I.D. If you are not familiar with No I.D, he is a renowned hip-hop and R&B producer who has been in the game since the early ’90s. He is most known for working with Jay-Z and Common on songs like “Run This Town” and “I Used To Love H.E.R.”
No I.D. recently did an interview with XXL magazine to talk about his career.
Remember Jay’s infamous “My favorite hue is Jay-Z BLUE” line or his freestyle rendition of “Grammy Family” where he ends it with, “baby BLUE Maybach like I own Gerber.” He even goes on to say, “I got daughter(s) on the way/If the prophecy’s correct/then the child should have to pay/For the sins of her father/So I barter my tomorrows/Against my yesterdays/In hopes that she’ll be OK”.
With that being said, he has delivered enough poetic references hinting the arrival of the heir to the throne.
In the midst of possibly the happiest moment of Jay and Be’s life, Father Nice Watch take a moment to release “Glory” and pens a letter to his greatest creation, in which he uses the word ‘Bitch’ so regretfully. How appropriate is this apology and promise to his daughter to protect her and rid her of any disrespectful energy. Fellas, take note!
After Beyonce gave birth to daughter Blue Ive Carter on Saturday in New York City, Jay-Z has penned a song for his new daughter.
Words out – Blue Ivy was conceived in Paris. #InfantsInParis
The Empire is being built right in front of your eyes. The dynasty continues and some more shit like that. #Salute Father time a.k.a. Mr. Nice Watch. Be drops a bundle of Joy, and Jay drops off a new exclusive for our enjoyment. This timeless track was made a while back and has been preserved as a gift to his, then, unborn.
Listen inside…
I don’t know what the hold up was at Def Jam, but Young Jeezy has just made the official public release of his long-awaited TM-103 album. Finally! Class had been in session for quite a while and no thug-motivated teacher.
Although the project consists of quite a few songs that we the cool kids have been hip to for quite a while, such as the collaborative track “I Do” featuring Jay Z and Andre 3000, a few gems like the Jill Scott record makes the wait well worth it. I mean, Jill Scott starts the Justice League-produced ballad with a rap seeming to be reflective of a mix between Wyclef and Mary J. Blige. I know what it feels like to be trapped, however, I feel as though Jeezy knows a lil bit more than I do. You be the judge.
Well, what do you know! Whether he was forced or felt pressured to do so, Jay Z offers his take on the #OccupyWallStreet movement. This being the same movement that publicly let it be known that he was a shark for profiting off the brand that they’ve built but not giving back to it. Their argument is legit. Poppy Harlow of CNN got the chance to sit down with Jay and really pick his brain about what’s been going on in the streets with this particular issue.
In the past we’ve seen Russell Simmons, Kanye West and even 50 Cent weigh in on the financial crisis. Check out the brief interview, After the Jump!
