Jay-Z is this close to being a household name, an amazing accomplishment considering his humble roots in the Marcy Projects of Brooklyn. He can now hold court with Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson in the same week, so formidable is his clout. Rapper Jay-Z, a minority owner of the New Jersey Nets, says he has no intention of trying to persuade his pal LeBron James to sign with the Brooklyn-bound team.”That’s his decision,” Jay-Z told Rolling Stone magazine. American Idols Tickets and Justin Bieber Tickets are selling very fast with cheap prices. You can get your Roger Waters Tickets from TicketToGames.com with cheap and discount prices. “We’re friends we’ve still gotta hang out! I don’t want to convince somebody to do something, and then have to see him and say, ‘Uh, yeah, we’re 4-30 …sorry.’”Jay-Z is hopeful that Mikhail Prokhorov, the Russian billionaire who recently purchased the Nets, will be able to woo James.

Jay-Z & Beyonce were to cool to be at the MTV Movie Awards, the Carters were in Paris, France taking in the French Open and watching Rafael Nadal beat Robyn Soderling to win his second French Open. Leaks from Drake’s highly and hotly anticipated Thank Me Later keep dripping out, and none has made a bigger splash than the meeting of generational figureheads Drizzy and Jay-Z on “Light Up.”I will not call this a passing of a torch because Jay-Z probably would not like the idea of anybody taking his torch anytime soon (and we all know Jay-Z has Buzzworthy on his RSS). But there’s something close to that going on here.
