JAY Z AND KANYE WEST'S ALBUM LEAKED . .. AND THE INITIAL REVIEWS ARE NOT GOOD!!
Jay and Kanye's new album WATCH THE THRONES leaked onto the INTERNETS!! Of course, everyone here are LAW ABIDING CITIZENS . . . so we DIDN'T review it.
The STREETS, however, downloaded the album hella quick though. And this is what THE STREETS are saying about the album.
First off, people are saying the album is, on a whole, UNDERWHELMING. In almost every verse, it seems like Kanye is TRYING TOO HARD to say something clever. And Jigga just comes off as WASHED UP - kickin the same ISH he been saying for the last 10 years.
The STREETS aren't saying the album is AWFUL, just that it is NOT GOOD - especially given that it is SUPPOSED to have the two best artists in the game.
Oh, the streets say that there is ONE POSSIBLE HIT on it, LIFT OFF, with Beyonce.

OutKast's Big Boi Arrested for Drug Possession!!!
OutKast's most prolific member, Big Boi, was arrested in Miami yesterday for possessing numerous drugs (including MDMA powder, which is an active ingredient in Ecstacy, Viagra, and Ecstacy pills themselves). Sources from the Miami-Dade Country Corrections Department stated that Big Boi was busted by customs officers and border patrol dogs as he was getting off of a cruise ship. Big Boi (whose real name is Antwan Patton) was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. According to the Corrections Department, all four charges are felonies. After being taken to jail at approximately 1:35 PM, he posted $16,000 bond and was released.
Big Boi's attorney issued a statement on his behalf, saying "While Big Boi was traveling with his group and friends, a small amount of contraband was found in the collective luggage. I am confident that when the entire facts are aired Big Boi will be completely exonerated." So now the luggage has two sets of problems, I guess.

Inspired by all of the underexposed raw talent on the Internet, Pharrell Williams decided to launch his new label imprint i am Other.
"They're not getting the recognition in the mainstream media, but in the digital world they dominate- the 16-, 17-, 18-year-old virtuosos all over the world coming out of nowhere and just taking stake in their position," said Pharrell. "The Others are multifaceted pro-active people who live outside the box and aren't confined by categories."

JAY Z REPORTEDLY PUT HANDS ON KANYE . . . 'SLAPS' HIM IN THE FACE!!
BREAKING news. According to a person in the know, Jay Z and Kanye West are rumored to have been in some kind of a PHYSICAL ALTERCATION - with whispers that Jay may have "slapped" Kanye.
Rumors of a CHILL in the two's relationship began showing up last month - when Kanye West REFUSED to perform at a Brooklyn concert, designed to promote the duo's new album.
And last week, the pair performed at the same concert - but they DID NOT go on stage together.
According to our pals at the NY POST, Jigga and Yeezy's disagreement stems from their upcoming concert - where Jay wants to keep costs down, and Yeezy wants an EXPENSIVE over-the-top production.
But our insider, who is VERY close to the two (remember we were the FIRST and ONLY place to get those WATCH THE THRONE PICS), says that the trouble goes FURTHER BACK than that. They claim that it was there while the two were recording.
Tells the insider, "There were some tense days in the studio . . . and I heard Jay put hands on Kanye . . . a slap."
WHAT . . . LMAOOOO . . . Jay THANK YOU for that. Hopefully he'll ACT RIGHT going forward . ..
