Jay Z's new music streaming site, TIDAL, is getting a huge boost from some big-name celebrities.

Jeter is sponsored by Nike's Jordan brand, so they did a two-minute ad full of celebrities to send him off, including Spike Lee, Rudy Giuliani, Billy Crystal, Tiger Woods, Jay Z...and even some Red Sox players and fans.

Jay-Z ran the charts with 'Run This Town,' but a scorned record label wants to run that town right into the ground over an alleged illegal sample. The 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' rapper is being sued for allegedly sampling a track for his 2009 collaboration with Kanye West and Rihanna.

Last night (Oct. 15) celebrated the best in hip-hop! The genre's biggest event, the BET Hip Hop Awards, honors the biggest and best in the rap game.

Jay Z covers the November issue of Vanity Fair, looking dapper in a white tux jacket.

"Rap is the new rock n' roll," Kanye West said in a new, typically cocky interview. "We the new rock stars, and I'm the biggest of all of them. I'm the No. 1 rockstar on the planet." Well, sort of.

Chris Brown is having another pity party in JET magazine. This time, he wants the world to feel bad that he has a worse rap for beating Rihanna than Jay-Z has for hustling and maybe stabbing somebody. He's also expecting us to feel bad for him for having to juggle relationships with one of the most stunning and successful women on the planet (RiRi) and a gorgeous model (Karrueche Tran). Hear that

As they say, the family that wears matching footwear together stays together, which means that the Carter family is in it for the long haul. Even if no one actually says that and we just made it up.

Jay Z (formerly Jay-Z) recently lip-synced the song 'Picasso Baby' off his new album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' in a gallery for six hours straight and called it "performance art." Now you can call it something else: an HBO film entitled 'Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film.' Bonus: Much like 'Hot Tub Time Machine' or 'Snakes on a Plane,' you immediately know what it's about.

Music legend Stevie Wonder announced that he would no longer perform in the state of Florida in protest of their controversial "Stand Your Ground" Law. Now it appears that other artists are joining the boycott, and it's a pretty impressive list.

Jay-Z has 99 problems, but a hyphenate ain't one.
