Closing out this week's news.... A few last minute changes are in store for Jay-Z's The Black Album. There will be 14-cuts with two bonus tracks as well. One of those bonus tracks will be produced by Dr. Dre and will more then likely be the LP's second-single. Also, the second bonus track maybe a Mel-Man produced track with MC Lyte on the hook that is supposed be straight bonkers. Similarly, Jay-Z is not the only person to bump his release date up too 11-14, as 50 Cent has done the same with G Unit's Beg For Mercy, so it looks like those K.O.N.Y discussions will be settled by Soundscan... Lastly, if that wasn't enough, we are hearing that rumors of a Jay-Z/Nas collaboration are not that far-fetched? Could it appear on The Black Album?? Hold your breath!! (Pizzo & Matty are skeptical.)
Axle: You serious dogg? I dont even really like JAy anymore and havent bought an album since In My Lifetime Vol 1, and i CAN NOT BELIEVE how dope the album is. Surprisingly, the Quik song is one of the weaker ones along with the single, but others are incredible: 99 Problems, Encore, PSA, Threat to name my favourites. Listen again, cuz it takes a while to grow on you, or at least it did for me! And if NAs is really on there, it will be a great day for hiphop. I hate all the Nas-Jay comparisons and they (comparisons) will be ridiculous if this track really happens, but i think they will sound dope together. And i hope Dre blesses Jigga with a second single, cuz that is the only thing this cd is missing: a song wich will blow up. peace
news about dre could be true but i HIGHYL doubt nas is on there...would be tight ass news though
