Jay-Z Secretly Crafting New Album

Monday, July 24, 2006
By: Michael Ivey


Jay-ZAccording to a recent New York Daily News report Jay-Z is secretly crafting a new album, in his private Chelsea, New York City studio, that may be released this November.

The president of Def Jam Recordings is reportedly conspiring with musical cohorts Timbaland and Dr. Dre, receiving beats from the latter, via email, and sending lyrics in return. Jay-Z "retired" in 2003, making 'The Black Album' his final solo LP. Since then he has released 'Collision Course', a mash-up album with rock/rap band Linkin Park, and appeared on remixes like Young Jeezy's 'Go Crazy' and Rick Ross's "Hustlin."

Even after Dipset front man Cam'ron dissed him last spring Jay-Z continued to quell rumors of a new album, shifting the focus to Def Jam's biggest new act, Nas. His former rival's Def Jam debut is tentatively scheduled for a September release.

However, beyond persistent rumors, in a recent interview with NBS, Jay-Z protégé Lupe Fiasco stated "he's working on his album you know?" "I guess he looking like the giants gotta come back and do they thing again. I don't know," he added.

Jay-Z served as executive producer for Fiasco’s 1st & 15th/Atlantic Records debut 'Food & Liquor', due out August 29. A November LP would make nine fresh solo albums in ten years for Jay-Z.

Todays east coast rap fans] dont count[they too flaky]and they pay attn to trends, beats, and gimmicks. Older gods from yrs ago use to pay attn to lyrics, delivery, flow, beats, etc jus cause u from ny, jersey, philly, boston, etc didnt mean n*ggaz was goin like u cause u from the east]u had to be nice]east coast rap fans was a lot harder to plz]even some ny artist in ny didnt get alot of love niether-jus cause they from here]they had to proove they was worthy for n*ggaz to pay for thier records(vinyl), tape, or cd.

An endless sea of haters man, i swear. Jesus is returning, and already the romans are ready to put a spear in him again. With the lackluster nonsense they call "hip-hop" these days polluting the airwaves, and the south taking over, (the bad south, not the good south) who better than god to smite them?

I hear ya!! the rap scene now is lame and hova needs to come back out these fools in check! all of them are still babies just trying to learn. Jay has been through it and mastered it.

Yo there is always some cats talkin slick about eastcoast rappers. Motherfathers cant stay on the topic because they know that jigga is goin to put playas on the injury list hurt the game with his new cd , there is a difference between ny nigg*z and all yall po pimps do south we give props to those cats that r real yall love to hate and some cats downsouth are eastcoast look at a map dumb a**, yo remember theres only 1 kingdom rap mecca nyc only a few cats from other states had the crown cause they earned it . P.s. You could be the king of your lil a++ town but knot the real king of this sh*t,only 1 crown
Posted by ghettofaculty
Ain't no livin person can test him only two restin in heaven can be mentioned in the same breath as him seven straight summers, critics might not admit it/ but nobody in rap did it, quite like i did it/ if you did it i done it before, you get i had it/ got mad at it and don't want "it" no more// and that goes for everything from flippin that raw/ flippin whores, flippin vocal chords, don't get it twisted// did it right, did different, did it better, did it nice/ did the impossible then did it twice (get it right) hov is king fukc everyone else spittin' these days!
Posted by KingJames313
Man im tellin ya, you put most of these rap cats on a dope beat and they still garbage. Lets be honest man, how many cats out right now could have brought it on that 99 problems beat-not many. Most would have heard it and would have prob been like i aint feelin it. It aint no east, west, south or what ever thing its who can bring it and who else than jay. Besides jay still in his prime.

]back in 96 statred the decline of-hip hop close to pac dying]due to over gangstafied music and that dumb ass east coast/west coast sh*t, but wen big died]there was a big void]and as much as i hate to admit it diddy did his part to keep up the momentum][which help sped up the process for materialistic, flossy, pop rap] u also had other artist both underground and mainstream trying to keep things goin]but jay-z took the tourch for ny and the rap game and for 8 or more summers he carried hip hop and the east on his back-when many didnt want to do the sh*t no more /or listen to it] then in 99-00 big l died]then pun and i swear wen pun died the sh*t really went to hell]it seem im mediately u had this explosion of wackness]and then again jay come through in 01 wit blueprint]then the battle wit nas]creeating that buzz again making hip hop exciting. Now of days this sh*t is trash]n*ggaz online braggin bout /being hot this/ and hot that]if yall proud of this sh*t keep it lol]hip hop will rise again!

Naah cense..i know imma catch flame for this one...cause i do from my patnas err'time i say it....but. Biggie killed east coast hip hop. Before him it was cats like e sermon,wu tang, red man, das efx, all the timbs and hoody brothers. East had the crown. But dre and snoop took the crown from em by making the werld dance. With that g funk sound, big was already around but not poppin (at least not world wide) so puffy took a hard azz lyricist (one of the greatest ever imo) and made him spit over non east coast tracks. Pop sounding tracks, he wasnt too much timb and hoody anymore. He caught the whole east off guard it was hard for them to catch up to his style, they painted themselves in a corner with that grimy mad face invasion style. Bigg was so dayem talented that he can rip anystyle so he was a true hip hop cat with a pop cat behind him. Doing the playa thing. He killed the game...only a few could rock that fly style. To me that was nas,rae and ghost, and jay z. Look at the easts current situation, all cats that are still doing it...no head banger underground cats. Cam'ron..fly gangster style, jay z...boss playboy style, nas...he gets on his player shyt too, but he drops gems in between. All the grimy cats can "only" rock mixtapes. Maybe i shouldnt say he killed it, but he changed the game up and alot of "stars" on the east coast were caught off pivot and couldnt fit in the new mold of music. Now when anybody comes from the east you better bring that playa with lyrics shyt. All the other stars
Posted by Kalliope4eva
Like redman and meth, the wu...all of em are like black balled...myth, whutever. But to end it...look at the route 50 took. He wasnt a playboy on power of the dollar....but he dayem sure is on that shyt now. Singing the hooks and errthang. Or ja'...when he was popping he was on the playa shyt. He feel when he started that "blood in my eye" clap back shyt. Dummy....played right into 50s hands. So imma say pac is the father of yall style...lmao. Hes the one who told big "be gansta, but make your songs for the ladies".

Wot i don't understand is: is jay-z sending d lyrics 2 dre or d vocal 2 da beat dat dre sent him? cos i don't c ow sending im da lyrics can help create da lp by text can help dre mix jay zs nu audio material. However dey created da lp i don't giv a F*ck, cos we all no finish product gonna b powerful.
Posted by FV85
Damn carlos on cashville you always got something stupid to say. Jay-z overated who you like d4l. Me personally i think who is the greatest but he has nothing to prove.he should stay retired. I know if he do drop a cd i will buy it but he has accomplished everything. He shouldnt come back. Lupe will replace him
Posted by nealmatic
Kalliope, you speak truth. Big was rappin over west coast styled beats. I don't think he killed east coast / nyc hip hop though. The east coast started following after n.w.a. Dropped n***az for life. That album blew up the charts as soon as it came out; nyc said, "oh that's how you do it" and sh!t ain't been the same since. East coast always been about their lyrics, but after n.w.a., everybody felt the need to tell how street, gangsta, thug they were. Before n.w.a., you barely heard cursin on an east coast record, that's how lyrical it was. Imo the east changed up after n.w.a.
Posted by saadir
Jay z, east coast sound... I don't know. "reasonable doubt" had that sound. Preemo's tracks had it. A few other songs had it, but a lot of jay's beats after reasonable doubt were more "universal", thus jay got universal appeal. Jay did not stay with the boom bap, the d.j. Scratch... That's part of what kept new york artist in new york. Personally, i've been waiting for that "new york sound". I found it in florida with superiority complex and basic vocab.

Wen will yall learn!? hova waz never tha king nas waz! and now just coz cam dissed d fool, yall actin like he jesus! lol! i cud understand if it was nas, but it aint! put it like dis..yall hated hov wen he dissed nas! now yall hate cam coz he dissed hov! thats illegite! yall know dipset the only force left bar papoose, busat etc. Whu be holdin n.y. Hip-hop on da map..show respect where its due dunnz!
Posted by emcee paul
What would be dope is if nas and jay did a double able together, and do some collabos on eachothers album in the same set.
Posted by DPC
Err album.
Posted by DPC
All i gots to say is... Stay in the studio and work on the album until you can get a production quality that is better than the black album...cuz that "final" effort was cheap quick fast and in a hurry and it sounded that way too. Lupe fiasco's production quality is where you wanna be at!!! (hmmm...i wonder why jay's goin' back into the studio?) kick, push, coast nukka!!!

"when i come back like jordan wearin the 45, it aint to play games witchu". Jay knows what's he's doing. Him and jordan are very similar in many ways. But jay said himself, jordan shoulda stayed retired. Shoulda walked off with that final shot, that final ring. And walked off into the sunset as an immortal legend. Instead we had to witness him getin crossed over, and hung on dunks. Jay said this himself. You think he's gonna make that mistake? helllllll no. This could possibly be his best album to date (excluding reasonable doubt). He doesn't have anything to prove to us. This is for him. And please believe he holds himself to a higher level of critique than any fan, or media could.
Posted by DaReal
So much for retirement. But, anyway, i guess with all the featured appearances he's been doing, another jay-z joint was bound to be released sooner or later. Let's just hope that he stays real, regardless of who he's workin' with. Outie!!!
Posted by martymart
Big was ill to me] his lyrics, flow, dilivery]i wont say hes the greatest of time]thas a hard one to called too many rappers, styles, flows,]must also be conscious of the time period that the artist was in his prime etc. I think biggie does get too much credit for bringin the east back]]groups like black moon, epmd, brand nubes, main source etc-nas had illmatic[which was slept on]these movements help spark of an momentum] but i feel wu tang is really responsible for bringing the crown back to the east]wen wu tang exploded in 93 it made room for other east coast artists, which made for great hip hop between 94 to 96]i do feel biggies style and sucess help n*ggaz to step thier game up.
Posted by cense251
I know ima catch some sh*t for this, but F*ck it-has to be said. I think nwa get far too much credit for establishing gangsta rap. Not wen u had cats like just ice(the first hip hop gangsta), kool g rap, and ice t. Nwa i remember was on some pe sh*t-but then got ridculous as time went on]cuz the excessive gangsta style]combined with white children wanting to rebel]and blks feeling exploited in the hood made the white man rich]and them money. In the early days in any artist curse]had to do it spearingly]cuz them white people didnt want nothing to do with rap]so if sugar hill or cold crush was like suck this]F*ck that]hip hop would of died right there]so hip hop had to be on some party sh*t]until cats like melle mel(the message)bdp and pe etc starting kickin science-rebeling] pushin the envelope] nwa piggy back of them group and evolved it to something else!

I might b wrong but didnt jayz retire people bring up camrons dis track a way 2 sell records but jayz annouced retirement n came out with his so called last cd the black album know hes doin another one its over looked though because hes the all time most overated rapper
Posted by tyoung1
Exacty tyoung!! i agree, im sorry. But im not gonna just agree with everyone and hop on the jayz wagon. Jayz is good. But he is wayyyyyy overated. I aint tryna hear all this "he the king", "he the michael jordan of rap" nonsense. He a good raper and thats that. You dont hear rock and country musicians saying someone is they king of their genre. Good music is just good music and a good artist is just a good artist. Hell, em in my opinion is a better mc then jay! but uh ooohh. Im finna piss some people off for sayin that! lol. And y is it that everytime someone disses him and realy gets at him on some real sh*t he dont comeback. That sh*t cam threw at him wasnt just comical. It was the truth. That sh*t nas came at him with wasnt for commical it was the truth. Yea, i agree that jay is a good business mogal and one of the best. But bottom line is he's a rapper. So if ur gonna rap then stop actin like u to big to come back with a diss on cam. Cam aint no second rate lyricalist. Maybe if i move to new york ill think jay is the king! cuz he aint king in my book now!
Posted by CARLOSnCASHVILLE
Shyt, whos gonna get on you for that? shyt if you dont like him you just dont like em. Thats your opinion...if it aint popular, oh well. I aint gonna agree with ya tho.
Posted by Kalliope4eva
I gotta post on dis. 1 of yall dudez sed nas is da king, gotta agree wid dat, 1 a yall sed dat nwa is overrated gotta agree wid dat, 1 sed jay-z di most overrated rapper an i strongly argee wid dat. But his dude retired, obviously he's better than most of these cats now, but their not even in the conversation when it come 2 best rapper ever an dem ting deh. Don't look at it like jigga betta dan dese fools now so he's di best. Dats ridiculous, all di lines from im weh yall posting jus provin how simple-minded yall must b. He's spittin basic sh*t, nothing creative, nothing that makes u say "yow how tha f&ck did he cum up wid dat" and dere r so many rappers dat do dat. So basically wat i'm sayin is dis, don't put dis dude on this fake pedistal dat u got him on, and jus caus these yung cats r lame don't mean that i want tha dude that started the simplistic lyrics sh*t that caus wat has happn'd 2 rap today, 2 make a next album. Thats real!!
Posted by kinglopo
Most of you guys on here probably were not even born when hip hop came around and definitely need to go back to school and get your grammar right. You act like rap music is so important to your lives that when someone retires and comes back it is this big hoopla??? that's why we got so many problems in the inner cities because rap, hiphop or whatever you want to call it is being worshiped as this cultural, conscious movement thing. But if you pay attention it never is...at least not these days. So quit wasting your time debating who's the best rapper, lyricist or whatever and instead read a book that will better your life. Idiots!!!

He cant leave rap alone the game need him,,, hip hop is losing it.... And we need some real mc's to get the game back up to its respected level...

Objects(or ppl) will always follow the path of least resistance. Nowadays that being conceding to the fact that jay is the best doin it. But you have to have those that want to fight it. Go against the grain. They'll learn. And i see yalls point as far as the music being put out(mainly from my home (a town) ). But you gotta take it for what it is. You can't compare roman noodles to spaghetti. U just can't. You gotta accept that sh*t for what it is at face value. Some club, bass bumpin, ass shakin music. Nothing more, nothing less. And for that, its good. As far as lyrical content....... You can go have some spaghetti for that. I can't say that jays the greatest of all time. But i can't say he insnt either. Overated? i wish i was over rated. Then maybe all my albums would go platinum. And if he isn't as good as he and others claim. Why doesn't someone put him in his place. Either sure didn't seem to dampen the fire. As a matter a fact, i think he(nas) went to jay about a job after that. ???? not to long ago jay was signin cams paychecks too. He got out of line. And he'll be corrected. In due time. Might not come when you want him. But he'll be there right on time. Yea that has to be what it is. He's just overated. You can ride a wave of hype for 10 years. No problem. No extra skill required. He wouldn't be this great if big were around. Reasonable doubt would of been just another album out there. But really. Can he help it if he's runnin a 4 flat 40 and erbody else sucks? no. If ya fast, it don't

Whud up homie! nah duke(pedie) dont let up at all-hes finds some sh*t all the time lol so wen he say something smart]i must counter act.(its all fun) and this is what hip hop was built on.

C'mon.now yall know those 2 muthafuccas met at a handicapped camp.(yin yang)lol.as far as that new dance craze,((from another town))my point is that yall don't have to come alll the way down here to find wackness in hip hop.cense you know you and me are cool right?yo kalliope mama told me to kick em when they're down.lol as far as some others on here,the ramen noodle guy,all you talk about is record sales. Any true hip hopper knows that sales,or having a label, doesn't matter.so what nas is on jay-z's label. Some may say he is paying off his biggest threat.nas most definetly smacked him up with ether.besides that, jigga is 1 of the most materialistic dudes in rap.ice,maybachs,etc.is it hip hop when he does it?lets not overlook that fellas.people talk as if krs died in the truck with biggie.he's still #1,1,1,1,1![krs-bdp]fresh for 2006 you suckaz!hahaha

Yall stop hate'n on the whisper song. That sh*t was different and unique! thats y it blew up so big. It was ment for the females. The problem with alot of people is they dont like to see things evolve. Rap has evolve. Now i will agree with u, some of this music out is trash. But alot of it is just a transformation. Like i said early everyone talks about how simple lyrics have got and how good music was 10 years ago. Rap started off simple. So all alot of the new artist are doing are just going back to simple rap. Rap doesnt always have to be these deep lyrics and great metaphors and uplifting messages. Why not put out a song just whispering.its never been done before. Y not come out with a song where everyone in the club leans and rocks wit it. Alot of that music yall are downing actually help change peoples moods everyday. I can be stressed out or mad. But if i turn my radio on and hear a song with a catchy phrase and a dance to it puts me in a beter mood. And im sure thats what alot of artist wanna do. Their not tryna "destroy the state of hip hop" like alot of people say. Mostly east coast artist!!! they just tryna start a new trend. But like i said before alot of peoples attitutudes towards music is due to what region they live in. As much as people try to deny it new yorkers hate to see any other region do good when it comes to rap. New york is so shady when it comes to yalls artist! the ones yall praise one minute yall will hate the next!! thats y the south has blown up! we support our art

Yea kick em kick em pedie lol]yea wes cool kid]we fans of the sport trading views and opinions on the culture. Shit i aint goin front new york needs to be kicked to wake the F*ck up-and stop making wack sh*t-and go back to the lyrics]nah u right theres wackness on all sides of the map[and not jus the south]the south has good music-it gets sterotyped by the wackness that goes pop! come on i dont care wut no says[2 men on a track whipsering[about tips is weird, , and far from creative lol] wtf n*ggaz dressed in suits whispering- whispering sipping red lickur in the video- come on!!!! stop it-thas not innovative]its F*ck*ng stupid! grown and sexy my ass-

Yo cense251, i remember those other cats kickin it gangsta (don't forget about schooly d). I'm not downplayin the work those cats put in. However, nwa's n***az for life was the first rap album to debut at #1 (certainly the first gangsta, street sh*t to blow up the way it did). After nwa, cursin, gang, street, thug sh!t became the norm. Before that album, it was really the exception. Even tho those other cats were gangsta, everyone didn't start tryin to rap gangsta after them b/c they didn't blow up like that. Rappers said, "oh i been rappin all lyrical, tryin to get the party started, and these cats come out talkin some wild azz sh*t, but they're gettin paid and i'm not". Now, damn near every rapper is a gangsta, thug, d-boy... That's b/c of nwa - n***az for life. I was there, i remember with dismay as i listened to the sound, saw the attitude change in hip hop.

My gurls showed me the shyt, made me so dayem shame to say im from uptown that i wanted to gather a union of real brothers with sickles, gasoline, matches, and bats to put em out with. Load up the rides, and hunt them faggots out. They was really popping dawg....arch in their backs and all. Smh. Thats like 30 degrees lower than that chicken noodle soupy shyt. Lol.

Yanno. Pedie....me and my round was watching the gatti fight and the sugar shane rebroadcast and shyt, my gurl is like, bay come look at this..i was instantly pissed. Like i said, i would ride from houston with my union/lynch mob to end that shyt. I thought parents had to always know whut their kids are doing to make sure they aint using dope or having sex. Its a brand new ball game. No more "a i got a boy i aint worried"....shyt the boys are popping while some stand up guy (dad) is in the front room watching the game or some shyt. Now you gotta watch that the boys aint shaking on the internet or taking sausage (as cense would say) thru the back door....lol.

I trip out on the sht.if a person is that=same sex,right?so why do men act like women?most of all, women wanna get fades and goatees and even use dildos.for all that, she might as well fucc a man.but no.she wants to feel wood from a person with the sensitivity of a woman.god didn't create things that way.women and men must learn to take the good with the bad.lol

Because they just have a problem with identity. I was saying the same thing to my patna...i dont have a problem with ppl. But some ppl just want to put on a show. Women wearing whut a man wears, and men trying to do whut women do.
Posted by Kalliope4eva
Another problem is that many s let what they do in their bedrooms define them."to each, his own."as long as it doesn't effect me.thats how i look at it.
Posted by pediewheatstraw
You dudes said a mouth full(no pun intended) the problem i have is this political correct sh*t around this issue/ how if u used the werds queer, fag, or chocolate transporter ur homophobic. Another thing is the mafia and the media is pushing the agenda down the throats of people , which culturally can be uncomfortable for some]its coo if ur , but some of them are "too " all girlie and extra wit it]keep that sh*t to ur self!
Posted by cense251
Watching tv they got broads kissing broads and dudes kissin dudes on primetime-all this kind of slackness]save that sh*t for porn]nah mean-we must be considerate of the kids]thas why these kids r so corrupt now] the lack of parenting mixed with the sh*t on tv--is eliciting these feelings of sexual exploration way too early, hence you have vidoes of these dudes dancing like Bia'ches-and they think its cool.

Do we have to still keep using the n word even when we speak online? true hip hop is about political and social justice for black folks those are the origins that bore it....kurtis blow, fab 5, melly mel....all those greats. They had a message and had a point to make to change society and change the black man of the 80's till today...hip hop used to be about these things. Now it has become too flossy, to sex driven, too much druggery. Hip hop has taken over the world as far as influence and what image do we show to not only the rest of the world but most importantly the locals that hang on these lyrics and images? hip hop needs to be re-started period. Ive heard enough rappers keep saying theyre just a mirror for their environment...ok fine its 2006 any of them care to rap about how to possibly change the image they see in that mirror?

This man is the only star that will have me star struck. I will literally do just about anything to be with him. Beyonce don't know what she has. That's my girl though but if she don't act right i'll snatch him. This will be the album of a lifetime! so i am prepared for the best of the best.
