Fueled by a choice Jay-Z sample, Blue Daisy 's latest track will sound familiar to those who have followed his career over the years. But for everyone else, "Used to Give a Fk" is a murky new banger that leaves us highly anticipating the new EP of the same name. It's out May 6 on Black Acre and chances are you'll be leaving the title track on repeat until then. I know I will. BASS.
The soundtrack for The Great Gatsby is getting just as much hype as the movie, produced by Jay Z and featuring tracks from Beyonce, Lana Del Ray and even Hova himself. Granted it does have potential stinkers from Gotye, will.I.am and Fergie, but if it brings us great tracks like the "Together" from The xx, well I'll [try to] stop complaining. The plucking of the violin lays the groundwork for a strikingly eerie song, then eventually turned graceful by the orchestration near the end of the song. Knowing Baz Luhrmann's previous works, I'm incredibly [...]
Here's the thing that happens when you're Pharrell: Your vocal ends up on the new Daft Punk single , which is tipped by pretty much everyone to be the Song of the Summer, and then you go into the studio with everyone else in the music industry who matters, too — namely, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Jay-Z, No Doubt, Kendrick Lamar, Busta Rhymes and Kylie Minogue . Kylie Minogue! Kylie Minogue. It's fine. Everything is fine. Completely normal. Nothing to see here. Just move along. So! What insights can Pharrell reveal about these artists [...]
MVP of the year (thus far) goes to Pharrell Williams, for being one of the most diligent producers out there right now. After his collaborations with Robin Thicke on "Blurred Lines," Tyler, the Creator on "IFHY," and Daft Punk on "Get Lucky," it appears that The Neptunes producer will have some more new material coming, [...]
Lana Del Rey's single for the star-studded soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" has arrived. The dramatic ballad is true to the "new-classic" persona Lizzy Grant has developed for herself over the last couple of years, complete with subdued keys, suspended cymbals, and cinematic strings beneath her signature drone, "Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?" Thus far the reaction to her aching wonderment has been positive, and with the track being nestled between originals from Beyonce, Florence + The Machine, Jay-Z, and The xx on the upcoming release, it's safe to all [...]
Lana Del Rey La semana pasada pudimos escuchar algunos fragmentos de la banda sonora que acompaña a The Great Gatsby . En este soundtrack producido por Jay-Z y donde aparecen nombres como Florence + The Machine , The xx y Jack White , aparece "Young & Beautiful", una canción de Lana del Rey que ahora ya se puede escuchar completa. Den play en el reproductor a continuación y escuchen la canción. Abajo les compartimos el [...]
We've heard brand new songs from Florence + The Machine and Lana Del Rey for Jay-Z's exciting Great Gatsby soundtrack, and now two new snippets come our way. One, we posted earlier, was Beyonce and Andre 30002s unique (and sure to be polarizing) take on Amy Winehouse's monumental breakup ballad "Back to Black." The second one is a 90 second preview of an original new song from Jay-Z himself. The song is called "100$ [...]
Que o marketing de divulgação da trilha sonora do filme O Grande Gatsby tem sido bom, todo mundo já percebeu. Mas ao ouvir a prévia das faixas logo abaixo, você percebe que todo esse falatório é mais do que apenas uma boa propaganda para o filme (que por si só já é interessante o bastante). De O Grande Gastsy, sairão grandes músicas como já conferimos em Over the Love , interpretada por Florence + the Machine . Gotye, Jack White, The xx e Coco O. of Quadron também capricharam demais em suas composições. [...]
Jono & Gav aka YesYou kill this mashup/remix of Jay-Z and MGMT. Even bringing in Kylie Monogue to top it off. Very well done mashup . Cop the download above in the player.
Forget Leonardio Dicaprio . It's billionaire mogul Jay-Z who's the real king of the world. A minute-and-a-half snippet of his Great Gatsby contribution "100$ Bill" has surfaced, and the track is the second brand new offering from Hova in less than two weeks, following the recent surprise release of political rant "Open Letter." "The honeymoon's over with the street shit / used to see my kids on the weekend / Carter, new Kennedy / an ordinary Joe, you will remember me," Jay, who [...]
Earlier today we got the full version of Lana Del Rey's contribution to the soundtrack for the upcoming The Great Gatsby film, and now we get a few more previews of the highly anticipated album. Thanks to the film's trailer , we had already heard a small clip of Beyoncé and André 30002s cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back To Black," but this 1:30 snippet gives us a much better idea of what to expect. Our other teaser comes from Bey's hubby Jay-Z and his "100$ Bill" track. Listen to Beyoncé and André 30002s cover [...]
This is my second post today about music from movies, but that makes sense. I love movies, and I love music. The two play together so well, titillating your senses and triggering your emotions. Gosh, I also LOVE the word "titillating"; it makes me giggle. Anyway, a few days ago we posted about the preview of the Jay-Z -helmed The Great Gatsby soundtrack. Upon first listen, Lana's contribution seemed to be a far-and-away highlight, so much so that I used an inequality symbol in a tweet, which I kind of [...]
iTunes is now streaming snippets of the tracks appearing on The Great Gatsby soundtrack , including an original composition from Jay-Z called "100$ Bill" and a cover of Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” by Beyoncé and André 3000 . The soundtrack also includes new music from The xx ("Together") and a Bryan Ferry cover of Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love". Florence and Machine's contribution, "Over the Love", is already streaming in full here . Beginning May 7th, the soundtrack will be available [...]
Well, this can't be good for Jay or his trusted music confidante Young Guru. While the super engineer/producer/DJ was in Washington, D.C. recently, thieves ransacked the vehicle he was driving and lifted his computer in the process. My bag just got stolen from the car in DC, this is the worst!!!!! Broken glass is nothing just give me my computer!!!! — Young Guru (@Young_Guru) April 21, 2013 Last year, the engineer told [...]
What is it about Jay-Z that allows him to blend in so seamlessly with just about everything? I'm not a huge fan of mashups, but I swear all the best mashup projects I've ever heard have involved Hov in some way, shape, or form. While pairings with your favorite bands (see: The Beatles , Linkin Park , Coldplay , Oasis , AC/DC , The Verve and Radiohead ) have all been pleasant surprises [...]
Is Jay-Z the world's most influential musician? What about Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake, or Frank Ocean?

Jay-Z and the Brooklyn Nets are over as Jay's made it official he's out of team ownership business. As has been rumored over the past two weeks, Jay's giving up his less than one percent stake in the franchise in order to move forward in the player agency arena with Roc Nation Sports . Although he'd all but confirmed it in "Open Letter," Jay-Z took the more formal route on Thursday by addressed the situation using his Life+Times site . "Being a member of the [...]
Max Bell always preferred Allen Iverson. Today marks the re-release of Shaquille O'Neal's rookie-season Reeboks shoes, The Shaq Attaq . If I had some disposable income—$160, plus tax—I'd be outside of Footlocker with my lawn chair and G-Pen like all of the other sneaker heads. Instead, I've settled for DJ Goulet's ( that one ) commemorative Shaq Attaq mix, which showcases some of Shaq's best bars from his rap career. It's better than it sounds. After listening to all 21 minutes of the mix—complete with drops of Nas saying "like Shaquille, as well as a [...]
Time Magazine has unveiled the tenth annual Time 100, its list of the hundred most influential people in the world. And this year's crop shows that, while the music industry may be collapsing, it still holds plenty of capital! Justin Timberlake and Beyonce both made the cut under the "Icon" category, while Bey's husband Jay-Z made the list as a "Titan" — as did Justin Bieber 's manager, Scooter Braun . Christina Aguilera , Frank Ocean and Miguel were all included in the "Artist" section. [...]
