Here, maybe, is the scoop on what Jay-Z will be doing next, posted by a certain Kareem Burkett in response to a Black Album review.
(Also, stay tuned because I will be posting an exclusive Jay-Z MP3 this weekend)
okay..i see you guys are discussing this "fade to black" that jay-z supposedly has dropped to be his final album. i work for the promotions department here at universal records. im not an a&r, or anything special. i am a runner(basically a "gopher"). but in my everyday work, i sometimes get into casual conversations with record label honchos, a&r's, etc...i will not profess to be the biggest jay-z fan..but i thought the following would be interesting to know.."The Black Album" is technically not jay-z's last album...sometime next summer (the word around here is mid-july)..jigga will drop another album that will consist of some his tighter collabos, unreleased material, and 4 to 5 new songs..in the vein of NAS "lost tapes" album. the album is tenatively titled "THE ENCORE: roc-a-fella records presents FEATURE PRESENTATION"..the marketing ploy will be, dame dash releases this without jigga's approval, because he felt the public demanded it. so on and yadda yadda..i was given a tentative tracklist from one of the a&r's in the office. this could be total bullshit for all i know..but it sounds very legit and has actually came from more than 3 reliable sources at the def jam offices in new york and an a&r at the los angeles office.

Would be dope but seems like bullshit to me.

Hmmm... it seems to be a legit source, if somebody could just check the source, the name's there and all.
And I bet 100 Grand that there will be a "Best of Jay-Z", and this seems to be something like that, and with a bunch of new tracks..

I agree the album is real but I doubt all those songs that are unreleased could have stayed in the vault without being leaked. I mean it's Jay-Z.

There are others that sound a little dodgy on that tracklisting but I think this the probably the one track that sounds more like bullshit then any of the others. Smoothed out 9th Wonder production, with Bone Crusher shouting on it, hmm, sounds a little unlikely to me.

i thought that at first too...but have you ever heard the bone crusher & goodie mob track? that one is actually really good w/out him screaming on it...if he were to go like that it is possible...i think thats the most bs track on there if it is fake...but it is still possible.

I never heard about those ^^ Would be tight if they would've really been released in the near future 8) But actually all that sounds unbelievable, because how can you hold back tracks of a superstar with so many superstars as features? I don't think this is real.

Yeah, but they're kinda low-pro..
I bet there will be a "BEST OF" with unreleased tracks and big ads & budget..
