Video: Wale & J. Cole Freestyle @ Denny’s

Touring isn’t what it used to be. I told you that they weren’t letting anyone backstage @ the BP3 show and J. Cole spoke on how there weren’t any groupies gettin’ their back out as far as he could see. Bummer. I think we all grow up having wet dreams where floozy after floozy...

Event Recap: Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Tour

Your (Not So) Brief A3C Perfect Attendance Recap: Night Three

While driving over to The Five Spot, Contra™ commented on the full moon that was on the horizon. It was at that point that we suspected the night had the potential to be magical or disastrous.

“Show Me Something”

Words By Prop Jay Call me late, but I’ve been sleeping on whomever the hell J.Cole is. With him being the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and then getting a co-sign from Gotty™ a few weeks ago I should have just listened then. I didn’t. When I finally did listen to “Heartache”...
