Iverson Traded To Detroit Pistons

noreply@blogger.com (Editor In Chief) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:10:00 PST

"Denver has traded All-Star guard Allen Iverson to Detroit in exchange for Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess, a league executive with knowledge of the talks said. Iverson was traded to Denver in December 2006, but was not able to help Carmelo Anthony lift the Nuggets out of the first round of the playoffs in his two seasons there. The trade gives the Pistons salary-cap flexibility at the end of the season. Iverson’s contract, which pays him $21.9 million this season, expires in July."

Blueprint 3 May Not Drop This Year Afterall

noreply@blogger.com (Editor In Chief) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:53:00 PDT

It doesn't look like Jay-Z's Blueprint 3 is coming out this year. There still hasn't been a video for "Jockin' Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh)." Matter of fact, there hasn't been a word about the album in weeks, except that Hov is working on it.

The only confirmed information is that Jay and Kanye West have done a bunch of tracks together, and the early talk was that Kanye would be the only producer on the album. That is looking more unlikely now. We've been hearing a bunch of rumors about other producers Jay is collaborating with (who shall remain nameless — we don't do rumors, just facts). But one of those guys spoke to us recently: None other than Pharrell Williams, one of Jigga's main go-to guys.

"Of course," he said when asked whether Jay had called him to work on Blueprint 3. He then took a long pause before refusing to divulge any more info. "He don't like for you to say so much."

Jay Z Free Concert Review From L.A. Rally...Check it Out...CLEVELAND!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Editor In Chief) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 19:33:00 PDT

source:"The Hollywood Reporter"

Where to begin?

The Old Hollywood vibe outside the renovated Palladium, with the spotlights, red carpet and swarms of celeb-gawkers and people-watchers? The long-neglected venue's new sparkle and revelatory sound? DJ AM's aw-shucks return to performing?

No. This special night, on which a landmark Tinseltown concert hall was rechristened after a multimillion-dollar renovation, belonged to the headliner.

The large band kicked in, and rap's biggest act sauntered onstage. "Y'all wanna go all the way tonight," Jay-Z surmised about the crowd after his opening number. They did, and he obliged.

They were dancing early and often -- on the packed floor, in the VIP balcony, even in the VVIP balcony -- with folks throwing their hands in the air like they really do care. And there was plenty to care about as Jay-Z spent 95 minutes mining his catalog, which includes 10 No. 1 albums.

Acknowledging the Palladium's storied history early on, Jay-Z name-checked Frank Sinatra, the then-rising singer for the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra that christened the place in 1940. "I consider myself Ol' Brown Eyes," he said with a grin.

His raps were alternately speedy and slow, political and boastful, accusatory and celebratory. It was funky, sometimes poppy, a little old school, new school and middle school -- all the while branding the Roc. And the well-behaved crowd simply lapped it up.

Songs bled into one another, with few extended breaks between. One of several high points was the perpetual crescendo of the top 10 hit "Show Me What You Got," with the three-piece horn section and one of the two drummers working harder than they did all night.

After an affecting a cappella take on the Katrina requiem "Minority Report," which made heart-wrenching use of the Palladium's new giant HD screens, Jay-Z asked almost rhetorically, "How many people here votin' for Obama?" The pro-Obama theme was revisited several times.

But lest the excited crowd feel preached to, the rapper quickly said, "Let's change it up." "Public Service Announcement" fed into the current "Swagga Like Us," during which the star of the show said, "L.A., I brought someone with me tonight." Out moseyed the ubiquitous T.I., owner of the country's No. 1 album, to rap his and Lil Wayne's parts of Jay-Z's latest hit and deliver a sampling of his own songs.

The players slowed it up for the money-changes-everything lament of "Song Cry." But the letup didn't last long as the obese bass of "99 Problems" kicked matters right back up, complete with some midsong "Back in Black."

In his first stage appearance since last month's deadly plane crash, DJ AM humbly worked the decks for the full set, likely satisfied to be ceding the spotlight. Jay-Z acknowledged him halfway through, adding: "A quick shout-out to Travis Barker. We gonna party hard for them tonight." AM was visibly scarred but visibly happy to be back at work.

For the encore, Jay-Z -- predictably sporting his Rocawear gear -- commandeered the DJ's laptop, teasing with opening snippets of songs that riled up the crowd then dropped them cold. He finally settled on "Big Pimpin'," then wrapped what he called "a historic night" with the hit "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)."
