We need change. OBAMA 08!

I think we all saw this one coming. In the music video for Def Jam artist Young Jeezy’s latest single, “Crazy World,” the rapper exposes all that has gone awry with our world. The video feels like an urban rendition of Cloverfield–hundreds of people are running around in the streets, as gas prices continue rising and lame presidential hopefuls (Sarah Palin and John Mccain) ignorantly hold their thumbs up.

My initial reaction: Interesting video, but I think it’s too delayed to make any impact on the American people. Barack won the election. Gas prices have been declining steadily for the past 60 years. Sarah Palin is out of the spotlight. Had Jeezy dropped this video a few weeks ago (say–before November 4), I think he could have reached a much wider audience. Nice attempt, though.

Watch the video below:

HOLY. SHIT.
THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!!!
BLUEPRINT 3!!!!!

What do you think, guys — did Usher beast?

Talk about hot hands… I’m telling you guys the Madison Square Garden stop of Kanye West’s forthcoming Glow In The Dark Tour sold out in 30 seconds… whatever the final number is, trust me, you could not find tix if you logged on 30 seconds later.

I demand a second show!

Could this be the authentic album cover to Nas’s extremely hyped forthcoming record, Ni**er?

So I guess the rumor mill was right this time: Jay-Z has confirmed that he will be leaving his position as the President of Def Jam Records as soon as the clock strikes midnight on January 1, 2008. I’m not sure what endeavors he plans to pursue in the near future, but whatever he ends up doing, I’m sure it’ll be worth it.

“While we regret his decision to move on, we certainly respect it,” L.A. Reid said in a statement. “Since Jay joined us as President of Def Jam in 2005, we have all benefited from his leadership, sense of spirit and invaluable friendship. While he will continue to be one of our signature artists, he will nonetheless be missed in this executive capacity. The entire Island Def Jam family joins me in wishing him the very best in all of his future business endeavors.”

“It’s time for me to take on new challenges,” Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter said in a statement.

This should be interesting…

This face is PRICELESS! Larry King blows off some steam after Dr. Jan Adams, the plastic surgeon who purportedly performed a botched surgery on the late Dr. Donda West, walks off the show without saying a word about his case. Yes, Jan, we respect your legal hustle. But come on, why come all the way to Larry’s show just to let him know you’re not speaking? Something’s wrong here…

Peep the footage after the cut.

According to MediaTakeOut.com, Jay-Z and Beyonce may finally be engaged… supposedly Jay refers to the “Irreplacable” diva as his fiance several times on his forthcoming album, American Gangster. I’m not too surprised though–we’ve known this was going to happen for several years now. If it’s true, congrats J & B!
