n this short documentary, JAY Z’s Life+Times takes an unprecedented behind the scenes look at the creation of JAY Z’s Barclays Center opening concerts

Just 48 hours after reopening, Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club in Manhattan has been shut down due to numerous health code violations. The New York Post reports the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issued the 40/40 69 violation points, including violations for workers using their hands to prepare foods and poor refrigeration. The violations ranged from hot food being let out on the counter … to a refrigerator being kept at 60 degrees instead of 41 … to a worker seen mixing salsa with his bare hands.

“If you have a walk-in place with food like this, you put a hell of a lot of people at risk,” an anonymous source said. “A night of dinner and dancing should not include the risk of contracting food-borne illness.” The club literally just reopened last week following significant renovations … and hosted a huge, well attended reopening event that was crawling with celebrities.

Very rarely can someone take verse you heard before and shape it into a amazing new creation. DJ Kronik pulls it off with this joint here. Peep him on FACEBOOK

dult film star Jazmine Cashmere has released a statement denying rapper Jay-Z of being the rumored artist who got her pregnant.

Speaking via Twitter, Cashmere cleared up the confusion.

There have been a few things cleared up with recent tweets, we know that Jazmine is 6 and a half months pregnant, the tweet which confirmed this read “Yes I am pregnant, 6 and half months in fact.. And I am pregnant by WHO GIVES A F**K!! lol But the baby is great and very healthy thank you.”.Another tweet confirmed that Jay-Z is not the father, nor is any other rapper from New York, this tweet read “NO I AM NOT PREGNANT BY JAY Z OR ANY OTHER RAPPER FROM NEW YORK..” (In Entertainment)
Initial speculation suggested Hov, who is married to Beyonce Knowles, was the alleged father.

Yesterday the story surfaced that porn star Jazmine Cashmere is pregnant and that the father is a popular NY rapper, there is even talk that the rapper is Jay-Z. However, she is pregnant as this photo proves, but she has yet to say who the father is or to deny the rumors that the father is Jay-Z. We expected a statement from Jay-Z this morning about how he is definitely not the father, but maybe the notion that he could be is so ridiculous that he doesn’t even feel the need to address those rumors. (Now Public)
Additional speculation said rappers 50 Cent and Diddy were also possible fathers to Cashmere’s child.

Porn star Jazmine Cashmere is reportedly pregname and rumour has it that the baby’s father is a popular NY rapper. She is happy to be in the headlines and the publicity from the stories alone are likely to help her career. The rumours are spreading around the internet that she has become pregnant by either P Diddy, Jay-Z, 50 Cent or even Nas. (Fresh Buzz Daily)

ItsTheReal.com has put together an easy-to-explain cartoon for the kids out there who can’t grasp what’s going on between Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z. Called “Jay and the Beans Talk,” The Real goes through the Jay and Beans fable from the beginning, when Beans was originally on the lookout for brand new pals. It ain’t exactly Mother Goose, but it’s educational nonetheless. [Note Content]

And speaking of the beef, Memphis Bleek has chimed in. Sigel calls Bleek out in his diss track “Average Cat,” saying, “So that’s telling me F-You Sieg/ So F- You Too and F-Bleek 3.” Despite the dig, Bleek is staying neutral. “F**k bleek 3 haaa that’s a good one,” Bleek tweeted. “And for the rec….I can’t diss that’s my n*gg we gotta get up an chop it up that’s all..He know me that’s all I could say…”

THE STORY ACCORDING TO ILLSEED FROM ALLHIPHOP.COM
From what I heard, Beans is mad at Jay, for a simple reason. He really doesn’t want to be on Def Jam anymore. All this “beef” deals with Jay’s sudden departure from Def Jam. What most people don’t realize is that Jay-Z was told he could leave but could not bring any of his artists with him. This leaves out a lot of people including Beans. I heard that Beanie feels that Jay should have fought harder to bring them out. Nevertheless this ban is lifetime written in contracts! So, my people are saying that Beans should be mad at the machine more than Jay.

Now Jay-Z has bagged his 11th #1 album the enormity of all this seems to have finally hit Russell Simmons….

Here’s an excerpt of what Russ had to say……

“Looking back at his amazing career, it suddenly dawned on me, that in a hundred years from now, we’re gonna be talking about Jay-Z. When we think of hip-hop, we will think of Jay.

But what is even more important than his album sales, is his affect on American popular culture. Let us not forget that all the other “kings” didn’t come from the culture that created the music that they played.

Hip-hop is the first cultural phenomenon represented by a face in the community where the culture came from. This wasn’t possible for rock n’ roll or blues or jazz…it was Elvis and Mick Jagger and Benny Goodman who were always considered the best.

But, now the king of rap is confirmed black. And that means a lot”.
