Jay-Z Covers Q Magazine!
Here is the alternate Jay-Z Q magazine cover. The first features him with along with Lady Gaga and Dave Grohl.
The music mogul and rapper opens up about life after rap with the magazine. Telling them he has the ‘Marlon Brando retirement plan’ in mind for his future with wife Beyonce.
He explains that he wants to live on a private island, where he’ll spend his days drinking fine wines, smoking cigars and getting fat thanks to the meals his “genius chef” will cook.
That’s what I enjoy. That’s the payback for all the hard work. Beyonce will be on the island too. But I don’t think she plan to get as fat as me. I’m gonna be fat.”
Jay-Z also recalled one of the highlights of his fame was being invited on vacation with U2 singer Bono in St. Tropez, France.
That’s an invite everyone cherishes. Bono is an ambassador for the game. He’s not, ‘I’m Bono. F**k off’. He’s still a musician trying to make the ultimate album.”
You gotta love this guy!

ATTN Dipset Fans: The Diplomats Reunite!?
At first it was ALL speculation…but it seems that the rumors are true! The Diplomats have reunited and are working on a project together! Cam’ron recently told MTV all about it…but I just want to be real clear with why this Diplomats reunion is so WACK! Let me break it down for you…
So we all know our history about The Diiplomats being on Roc-A-Fella, Cam developing an animosity toward Jay (or vice-versa, or both, whatever)…then the Roc breaks up and Cam disses Jay, for the most part because he’s Dame’s boy, and Jay was disloyal to dame…then Cam disses 50…then beef is to much for his crew and they grow disloyal toward him…eventually cam and his crew get back together because their solo projects aren’t making them jack shit and their starting to suffer finanically…now even though I am the biggest Jay-Z FAN…I think Jay was mad disloyal, but Cam is a clown now and so are all of Dipset, Juelz is probably the most pathetic of them all because he has mass potential but is stuck with these fools, and Jim is the most obvious about being a bitch…my bad…I just used to love the dips…now they just suck!!!
Jay-Z Book Drops!?
“Decoded”, the memoir of Jay-Z’s life, will finally make it to stores in November even though it has been finished for a number of years. The book, written by author and film maker Dream Hampton, will examine the history of the Hip-Hop mogul though a series of extensive interviews from Jay-Z, his family and friends.
I hope it’s successful…Hip-hop artist memoirs tend to brick…badly. Word to Eminem and 50 Cent.
