Today, The 45 King openly speaks about Jay Z and the hit single (he produced for Hova), “Hard Knock Life”. The 45 King also touches upon about the why reason (he believes) people call him Mark. In other words, those people don’t really know who 45 King really is. He tells us of his success, after putting Eminem on hold. He truly admits he holds great love and respect for Eminem, and thanks him for making the track a hit. This is a must hear interview. I advise all my readers to take a listen…you might just learn something.

In today’s episode – “45 King Takes Jay Z Mainstream”.

It was my pleasure to speak with legendary Hip Hop icon: The 45 King. We conversed about many other ground-breaking Hip-Hop artists which The 45 King made HITS for including Queen Latifah and Kurtis Blow.

If you’re interested (I was) to learn how one of Hip Hop’s premiere artists came up with the name “The 45 King”, I encourage all my readers to check this interview. Not only will you learn about the background of his stage name, but he’ll also share with you his experiences while working with “New Kids On The Block” as well as Pop’s diva – Madonna.

This legend has worked with countless major artists in the music business. Who do you think produced Eminem’s hit record “Stan”?. Today’s episode ” The Music Man “….

JAY Z WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE HE’S DON CORLEONE….

Personally I have never been a fan of a single line Jay-Z spit, he never fooled me… Hes garbage, like Kanye. People know when you come from the heart. Or at least they should. Art, that is not from the heart, is hollow and useless…nuff said. And I’ll tell you this, the crazy rumors about Jay being the Illuminati’s bitch boy aren’t helped out one bit by him throwing up the all seeing eye pyramid. A diamond???? Psshh, sorry J, you aint foolin me.

And another thing… (more…)

This year’s VMA’s may have featured dozens of today’s top acts, and lasted almost two-hours on a big three network carrier, but what was unarguably the award show’s 45-second highlight was the drama behind the triangle of Kanye West, Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles.

Here’s where the drama gets even juicer – the self-proclaimed ‘Hova’ of rap says he orchestrated the mayhem which occurred this Sunday at the VMA’s…Some of you actually believe this nonsense. But, I’m sorry to tell you that you are all dead wrong.

This is not the first time Kanye has made such rude remarks, so it’s safe to say being out-of-line is a part of his character. I believe you all should thank yourselves for him thinking that being a rude individual is cool…Know why? Cuz you all applauded him in the past when he conducted such silly antics…Didn’t you?

What is really going on up in Def Jam? This is a hardcore record company but for years there’s been gay rumors floating around about virtually the entire roster, and some rumors not originating from HATE.

I never paid it much attention. It’s mostly rumors but there are some facts from credible people I know. Still I don’t care but you guys do don’t you?

I’ve heard it all do I believe it? No, but the worst rumors seem to call on Def/Jam artists. Rumors of Russell Simmons touching guys butts in the elevators. Retarded rumors that LL Cool J dates trannys, all noise no proof just accusations. Wendy Williams started most of these lies. One hater said to me back in the day that Redman was gay. I never paid it any attention. It’s bullshit with out any proof, right?

Lil Mama crashed an already very sleepy performance by Jay Z and Alicia Keys during last nights VMA awards on MTV. This nor Kanye’s antics is reward enough for having to sit through this dreadfully painful display of racist out of touch pop culture event. Does anyone even watch MTV programing anymore? and are they even qualified to be honoring music since they no longer even program it?

Bill Maher conducted a half-hour interview with Jay-Z recently. He spent the entire interview treating the pop-rapper like an ambassador of a country.  He even pulled out a book that was the size of the bible, filled entirely with Jay-Z’s lyrics.  What killed me is the book’s cover had a “B” and looked like a bible.  The “B” stands for Brooklyn.  But you could take that cover two ways.

This guy Sean Carter calls himself “Hova”…does he think he’s God?  How could he be God?  He plagiarizes other people’s rhymes…ask Slick Rick and Snoop Dog.  Then he went on to say that his first album was made to impress his friends…adding that it was based on his experiences…admitting that it’s the realest work he has ever done.  All the songs he recorded after that were solely made to fill his bank account.  In other words, he’s not a revolutionary, he’s a capitalist. He is one of the three richest hip hop moguls in history along with Russell “prayer beads” Simmons and Sean Puffy Combs – all with net worths at about $340 MILLION DOLLARS USD…

During the interview, Bill Maher stated that, “popular music was always bullshit”  using Lionel Richie’s “Three Times a Lady” as a reference.  Yet he praises Jay-Z…a guy who’s made himself the leader of the movement to deface hip-hop music.  He used hip hop as an avenue to form a clothing line, named after Rockafeller… a man who didn’t give a fuck about black people (how much of a sell-out move is that?)
