By Sir Platinum Graham Despite his representatives claiming that he was never booked to perform a tribute to Michael Jackson at the BET Awards, some believe Chris Brown is fuming with the network. Both BET and Chris Brown’s management say there is no truth to these rumors.

Enjoying a little time off from her performing duties, Beyonce Knowles was spotted soaking up the sun on Miami Beach on Tuesday (June 30). As for her weekend in Los Angeles for the BET Awards, Beyonce performed a tribute to Michal Jackson during the night’s ceremony before being taken on a d...

Jay-Z recently revealed the details behind his Roc Nation deal with Sony and Atlantic Records and how he was initially turned down by Def Jam for the same proposal. Visit SOHH.com for more information]

I would rather believe this guy than some random back-up dancer. Who is Jay-Z to be dictating anything? I have NO IDEA why people are trying so hard to make Jay into some kind of avenger for Rhianna's virtue or something. Jay-Z does not have some kind of goddamn vendetta against Chris Brown.

By MrsGrapevine Now the rumor mill on the other hand is saying that Jay-Z had a hand in making sure Chris Brown didn’t perform, and that’s why he performed D.O.A. The rumor started from a tweet, apparently a Chris Brown dancer (BShaw) had this to say about Jay-Z on twitter:

CHRIS BROWN'S DANCER'S TWEET: APPARENTLY CHRIS BROWN WAS GOING TO PERFORM OR WANTED TO PERFORM AND JAY Z STRAIGHT UP DENIED HIS ASS. WHICH WAS WHY JAMIE FOXX RUSHED BEYONCE OFF OF THE STAGE BECAUSE "SOMETHING CRAZY WAS GOING TO HAPPEN". JAY WAS THE BEST PART OF THE SHOW FOR SURE.

Rap newcomer Maino has voiced his thoughts on the public's firm grip of hip-hop moguls like Jay-Z and the damaging effect it has on new emcees from the Big Apple trying to make a name for themselves. Visit SOHH.com for more information]

Beyoncé sure knows how to get things started. The sultry singer appeared at Madison Square Garden on Sunday for her I Am... tour and was joined by Jay-Z for the night's very first song: The married power couple performed a medley of their hits "Crazy in Love" and "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)."

By KatEye Queen Bey emerged right on time wearing her signature gold dress, adorned with a huge bow on the backside. Opening with “Crazy In Love”, she gyrated in video fashion up until Jay-Z strutted out on the stage. Hovi came home early, considering it was predicted that he’d check in for his wife’s i...

By LowKey “Is Auto-Tune dead? No Auto-Tune is not dead. But, that’s Jay-Z and Jay-Z is…..I understand what he’s doing in the Hip-Hop world. However, when it comes to just music, and I’m a huge Jay-Z fan so I’ll ride with whatever he says, I don’t think the song (”Death of Auto-Tune”) is meant to tell everyo...

Jay to the Z drops some dope versus when he spits on the death of the dastardly Autotune. Which I seriously hate. Yo, is Zapp to autotune as James Brown is to hip hop? Big ups to those cats over at 95Flavas for hooking us with this goodie! Death of Autotune

Review: Cam'ron may never match his wacked-out 2004 masterpiece, Purple Haze. His feuds with Jay-Z, 50 Cent and former Dipset comrades Juelz Santana and Jim Jones have failed to make him a star. But on his sixth album, the Harlem MC remains one of hip-hop's most compelling eccentrics, enli...

By Carsten Via ThisIsHipHop Mash-ups are like Hansel from Zoolander, ‘so hot right now‘. The craze of The Grey Album by Danger Mouse caused everyone and their aunties to develop a remix album of their own to the not-so-rare Jay-Z a cappellas. Fact: The album was a work of genius. Fact: Many of the other remix albums that were attempted were tacky, cheesy, obvious and silly. Regardless, it led to the widely publicized and popular Collision Course done by Linkin Park with Jay’s participation and acceptance. Hova’s willingness to reach out to artists outside of hip-hop continued with his collaboration with Coldplay’s Chris Martin on the song “Beach Chair” from the Kingdom Come album.   [read the full post]

Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis has claimed that he's not worried Noel Gallagher will be offended after being dissed in Jay-Z's intro tape. However, the organiser warned that last night's (June 28) hip-hop set could be a one-off, as there is only one Jay-Z.
