Producer NO I.D will join Kanye West to produce The Blueprint 3. Don’t believe me ask Billboard Magazine.

Although it’s unclear if they will produce the entire album, Kanye West and Dion “No I.D.” Wilson are hard at work making tracks for Jay-Z’s “Blueprint 3,” according to West’s management.

Jay-Z dropped the new ads for the Rocawear collection just in time for back to school. Genius while the parents get their blog on a subtle reminder that they need to buy their child Rocawear gear.

Jigga is a hapless romantic who wants his relationship with his wife Beyonce to be sacred. In the issue of the vibe you’ve been seeing all over the internet he said:

“I just think it’s really a part of your life that you gotta keep to yourself,” The 2 were married in a “very special, very private, very intimate” rooftop ceremony in NYC on April 4. “You have to have something sacred to you and the people around you, I shared so much of my life… I should have something to hold on to.”

He’s also a big Barack Obama fan, and in the article he discusses why voting for Obama is extremely important.

“What [Obama] represents is, we as a people are part of the American Dream,” he says. “We were left out of the dream at a certain point. Now the dream is, you can be anything – and it’s not cliché.

”

It’s like Christmas in August. Blueprint 3 should be dropping forth quarter and I’m hearing that this is just a sneak peak of the heat that’s on the album. Chill baby girl, my girl in here!!!

Jigga sat down with MTV and spoke on his big show overseas here is what he said.

On the show itself:

“It was one of those nervous moments right before I went on and I haven’t had that feeling in a long time.”

Imagine the man you see in the picture just went all in, what do you do? Scared money don’t make money right? So you match him. In an interview with TIME OUT Jay-Z revealed he you can’t beat him in Blackjack or  Poker. “I’m a pretty big, almost professional, gambler,” Jay said, adding “I’m not gonna say any names because that’ll mess it all up, but there are these little private clubs you can go to in the West End where you can hang out and gamble, and it’s pretty cool.”

It’s been no secret that Obama likes Jay-Z, he recently told Rolling Stone that Jay-Z is his Ipod. I just can picture Obama on Air Force One singing Jay-Z line, “And if Al Sharpton is speaking to me somebody give him the word that we don’t approve”. Obama spoke on hip hop as well saying:

The Illinois senator has praised the pair as “great talents and great businessmen”, insisting he’s happy to have the support of the duo in the upcoming November (08) election.
But Obama admits he still has reservations about the current state of music in the U.S., and hopes the industry will begin to take its cues from the business-minded music duo.
He says of his concerns of hip-hop culture: “I am troubled sometimes by the misogyny and materialism of a lot of rap lyrics, but I think the genius of the art form has shifted the culture and helped to desegregate music.
“It would be nice if I could have my daughters listen to their music without me worrying that they were getting bad images of themselves.” Source

So for the Intellectuals with swagger out there remain cool.

Lil Wayne might need to go back to school. Weezy told Rolling Stone that he didn’t know Jay-Z crowned him the next King until his boy told him.

On “Mr. Carter,” Jay-Z calls you “my heir, Young Carter” — that had to feel pretty cool.
That line right there was hard! Unbelievable. I didn’t even realize it at first. My homie had to tell me “You know what he said, right?” I didn’t even get it. I was like, “Why is he saying ‘air’? Is he just talking about the air?” But I’m smart enough to know that he’s smart enough not to just be talking about the air. I felt real dumb, but then I felt so good. It was an incredible compliment.

He also talks about how he would call Baby and Rap on his answering machine.

Yeah, they were real raps, not like, “Hello, I’m leaving a message.” Every time he saw me, he asked me to rap so whenever I called him and he didn’t pick up, I’d leave a rap. I was about 12, I didn’t understand that no grown-ass man wants you calling his phone all day.
