“I finished his album and he released four songs that were potentially gonna be on the album,” West said last week on Sway and King Tech’s “Wake Up Show.” “So I gotta go back and do four. I just did one beat the other day in Hawaii — probably one of the best hip-hop beats of all time, if I do say so myself. I just gotta do three more beats and we’re done, ’cause he’s got classics. He’s got songs that are better than any of the things you’ve heard leaked.”

I had a lot of my old footage taken down when my youtube account got deleted, but now I’m re-upping some of the classic footage. Here is Jay-Z performing, “44-4s,” for the first time ever.

Looks like Jeezy won’t be on O’Reilly’s show but has decided to address him on his new verse.

It is not even close, Jay-Z has more influence. Kobe Bryant doesn’t have much influence outside of maybe making people want to play basketball and buy his sneakers. Athletes rarely get into political issues or speak out much about anything. I can’t remember Michael Jordan ever addressing issues going on in the world. Rappers on the other hand speak on what is going on in the world, past and present. They make you think about society and your life(not all of them of course).

Athletes could have a stronger influence but they avoid speaking on what is going on in the world. I can’t blame them, I would rather focus on making millions and giving money to charity. Kobe Bryant may be more well known in the world, but he is known mainly for his skills on the court.
