"I showed you your first tec on tour with Large Professor"
Written By Jay Swing on Tue, 08/31/2010.
I've always wondered about that Jay-Z line in "Takeover" that calls out Nas for keeping his "tec on the dresser". To refresh your memory it goes "You scribbled in your notepad and created your life/I showed you your first tec on tour with Large Professor/(Me, that’s who!) Then I heard your album bout your tec on the dresser". Thanks to MissInfo via NBC1979 (aka Noah Callanhan-Bever aka the dude who runs Complex) the back story has been unearthed in a very dope Large Professor piece Noah did for XXL back in 2002 (okay, so it was unearthed 8 years ago but I just caught wind of it recently). The story of that Jay-Z/Nas diss is below but I also suggest you click HERE to read the whole Large Pro piece.
Excerpt:
Main Source soon set off on tour, along with the UMCs and Jaz. One particular night of that tour came up recently in the very public catfight between Jay-Z (then Jaz’s hypeman) and Nas (who rolled with Main Source). During a show in Washington D.C. the sound system cut out, forcing the artists to do the same. The angry crowd rushed the stage and chased the rappers back unto their tour bus.
“We were figuring we were gonna have to knuckle down,” explains LP of the incident, which Jay has used to attack Nas. “Jay came outta nowhere, reachin’ in his gym bag like, ‘Don’t even sweat these niggas. I got that.’ He didn’t show [Nas] the gun like, ‘I’m gonna shoot you,’ but we were all just like, ‘Whew!’”

This is why twitter is dope. Green Lantern just unleashed this joint off his upcoming Invasion Radio mixtape (which should be out sometime today) on his twitter page.

Cee-Lo "Fuck You"

I know, I know. I'm MAD late on this one, but fuck it. It's everybody's new favorite song and that includes me. You aren't gonna hear it on the radio so we may as well give it one more spin. If you have a problem with that FUCK YOU!

Kanye West & Jay-Z "Monster"
Written By Jay Swing on Sat, 08/28/2010.
So apparently Jay and Kanye are doing a 5 song album together which is dope, what isn't dope is them putting 3 rappers too many on this song. Nicki Minaj? Are you kidding me? I can't believe people think this chick is actually dope. Anyways, enjoy.
Kanye West & Jay-Z
Kanye West feat. Jay-Z "Power" REMIX
Written By Jay Swing on Fri, 08/20/2010.
Okay. This is that shit. Kanye and Hov murder this shit, and at the same time give all us DJ's a reason to play Chill Rob G's and Snap's "I Got The Power" again. The Roc is in the building, GOOD Music's in the building. Music like this is the reason I do NationOfMillions... and also the reason I don't post all the bullshit music that every other blog does. That is all.
