Also, Jay called into the Shade 45 Morning Show today and talked with Angela Yee and YN (former XXL editor). I only caught the middle of the interview. The only thing he dished about the new album, which is titled, Blueprint 3, is that he has three songs so far. He wouldn't say who they were produced by or give any details on them because they might end up not being on the album. He mentioned that out of the three joints there's one that's UNDENIABLE. He was on his way to a meeting with Mayor Bloomberg @ City Hall FYI: The sample for the new joint is from "Dumb Girl" from Run DMC's "Raising Hell" album. YN wrote the cover story for the new Vibe issue. Guess Wifey is lookin' out for him since she's the Editor of Vibe. lol

I won't be able to update like I usually do for a while. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on that. I do hope you guys can keep me informed by hitting up the cbox.

Heart Of The City (via ?uestlove)
...The format of the show was similar to what Jay and I talked about last year in Vegas (I told him to do a ramped up okayplayer tour style review with him, Rell, Ush, T.I., Kanye and Mary---and just make it one big ass mixtape on tour). I guess this is baby steps towards that direction.
Night one (which the first night is never the best night of a new tour) was not bad at all---for starters there were multiple dress rehearsals done at the University of Miami. How this massive ass production managed to sneak on campus under the radar without one hottie gone wild knowing is beyond me.
We did 2 weeks of rehearsals---one week in LA then in true Jay style he gets rid of his band... with under a week to go.... and its up to all the kings horses and kings men to put humpty back together again. So the call was made to use the og "American Gangster" band who Puff uses when he is touring and former illadelphonic Omar Edwards as the musical director. Really all they needed was some coaching being as though the average young black musician is part of the gospel chop generation.... Imma miss not touring with those cats. I'll periodically show up from city to city and give more updates. A good time was had by all.

Vote: Next Single
This is from an interview Tristan Wilds (who plays Jay's "nephew" in the Roc Boys Video and is also a character on The Wire) did earlier this month. I was looking for him on Myspace (he's a cutie ) and ran across this:
You played Jay-Z's nephew in the video for "Roc Boys." What was it like working with Jay-Z? Is he a fan of the show? Will we see more of you in the next video?
Jay was great. He is a big fan of the show. I will be in the next video, but I can't say what happens. I'll get in trouble. Source
He's also going to be in the I Will Not Lose Spring Rocawear Campaign. Can't wait to see what it is though.
