… And Now Jay-Z Sued …

… And Now Jay-Z Sued …

According to sources like BET and TMZ, Hov is being slammed with a new lawsuit that claims he was negligent in paying worker’s compensation insurance during a three-month span back in 2009.

TMZ got a hold of the lawsuit from the Workers Compensation Board of New York, stating that “the insurance was supposed to cover domestic employees in Jay-Z’s house … cooks, maids, drivers … that sort of thing,” reported the network.

That three-month lapse cost Jay-Z $18,000, which the New York-based court made him pay back to the WCB.

“According to the docs, it was only a momentary lapse,” stated TMZ. “After the three-month period in 2009, Jay-Z acquired the right insurance and the problem was resolved … with the exception of the outstanding $18,000 owed.”

BET.com wrote, that “a source is refuting the claim that Jay-Z put his employees’ health and safety in jeopardy when he missed the payments by saying he never missed them at all and that the $18,000 is a minor clerical error.”

It is unspecified whether the hip-hop mogul has had a chance to pay back his debt yet, although the suit should sort out that and the alleged minor clerical error.

Jay-Z doesn’t seem like the type of flaky rapper who wouldn’t pay his bills and allow his employees to work uninsured. He’s about to be a new daddy for crying out loud!

Kanye Throws a Fan Out of His Concert

Kanye Throws a Fan Out of His Concert

Being a diva is one thing, but throwing out a fan out of a concert over a mere business card can be considered re-defining the word ‘diva’. At his recent “Watch the Throne” concert at the Tacoma Dome, Washington, Kanye West threw a hissy fit and eventually caused a fan to be kicked out of the concert.

It all started when a tiny card was thrown to the stage by a fan. Kanye picked up the card and yelled:

“Whose card is this?”

And then he continued:

“We risking our lives up here. You can’t go throwing sh** that we gonna slip on.”

You’d think he would stop after the fit. No. In a typical Kanye West move, the rapper told the crowd:

“I see it come from that direction.  Unless one person raises their hand and says ‘I’m the one who did it’, all that whole section gotta go.

The fan manned up and eventually got thrown out of the building.

Well at least Kanye West escaped ‘death’.

So what do you think about the incident, SoJones readers? Do you think Kanye West was crazy to flip over a business card, or do you think he did the right thing by kicking his fan out of the concert?

Here’s the video of what happened:

Drake to Work On Justin Bieber’s New Album!

Drake to Work On Justin Bieber’s New Album!

Justin Bieber and the hip hop world are becoming inseparable. After Usher, he had enlisted Drake and Kanye West for his next album titled Believe that will be released in summer 2012. (Read: Drake Skypes with Bieber)

Drake announced that he will start working on Justin Bieber’s album in January. The Canadian rapper made the statement at the Stevie Wonder’s House Full of Toys benefit concert in Los Angeles last weekend.

Drake shared the stage with Bieber at the Power 106′s Cali Christmas Jam 2011 concert last Friday, where they performed their duet performance of “Trust Issues”. The song was released last summer by Drake, and the original version features Drake both singing and rapping. Bieber then did a remix on the track, censored the lyrics (to Drake’s objection) and eventually brought the two together.

“Trust Issues” was not included in Drake’s album as he told the press that it was just a fun project.

Well now that Bieber comes in the picture, will it still be just “for fun”? Are you anticipating this collaboration, SoJones readers? Discuss!

Rihanna received an early Christmas present this year. The pop superstar’s dance smash “We Found Love” has become her biggest hit yet, remaining at No. 1 for an eighth consecutive week on the singles chart.

The Calvin Harris production surpasses 2007’s “Umbrella” and her collaboration with Eminem, “Love the Way You Lie,” which both topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks straight.

RiRi took to Twitter to celebrate the big news. “#WFL is still at #1 on BBHot100 for an 8th week, making it our biggest record to date! Who knew we wud beat LTWYL r UMBRELLA? #MAJAH #TTT,” she wrote.

Jay-Z to Play United Way Benefit Concert

Jay-Z to Play United Way Benefit Concert

Jay-Z has announced that he will be playing two benefit shows at Carnegie Hall on February 6 and 7 to help raise funds for the United Way’s scholarship program, according to AllHipHop.com. It will mark the first-ever solo hip-hop performance at the famous concert venue.

“Jay-Z says performing at Carnegie Hall is a big deal for hip-hop, and he’s happy to bring the genre to greater heights,” reported the Associated Press.

“Any time that I get a chance to expand and broaden the reach of hip-hop is a great thing for me on a personal level,” said Jay-Z. “I feel like they bent the rules so that it could make sense for me [to play] right now, but I’ll take it.”

In addition to helping out the United Way, proceeds will also go toward Jay-Z’s Shawn Carter Foundation non-profit organization in an attempt to reduce the high school dropout rate in New York City.

“Education is super important,” Jay-Z told the Associated Press. “I don’t have a high school diploma or a college diploma, but still for me to articulate, I had to have some form of schooling to articulate my thoughts.”

There was a ton of blue-collar jobs that no longer exist, and the gap is wider than ever,” he continued. “The kids need to really know that and be prepared, to really succeed in this new America they are going to need an education. Not everyone can be entertainers and hit the lottery – that’s what I call it.”

The tickets range in price from $500 to $2,500 per ticket, and are geared toward wealthier people and private philanthropists, according to the Times. They go on sale Dec. 12.

“It’s every artist’s dream to play a venue as legendary as Carnegie Hall,” said Jay-Z. “The fact that I can use the arts and my talent to benefit the education of the next generation of artists, entrepreneurs and great thinkers makes for a legendary night.”

Streetwear Year In Review: Brooklyn Bandit + GIVEAWAY!

Streetwear Year In Review: Brooklyn Bandit + GIVEAWAY!

Brooklyn Bandit or BKB has been a consistent brand developing its amazing products for its customers. SoJones has been covering BKB since a year ago and we must say the brand is heading to greatness. Check what’s going on with BKB:

Hi Brooklyn Bandit, how’s 2011 been? What’s up with the brand?
2011 has been great, and our crew is ready to take on 2012 with more experience, and some really creative ideas that we’re excited to present the Street wear industry with! We’ve started to explore more than just denim and cut n sew in the past year, and we plan to add that into our future collections.

What has been your best seller in 2011?
The Love over $ Tee and crew necks sold very well. All our stores were selling out consistently, as were we. With money being so emphasized in a lot of our current lifestyles, I think people liked to see something being put above money. There is a lot of issues in this world that can be solved with having love for our own kind, and that design puts all that into perspective. Show love it’s the Brooklyn way!

What are your brand’s milestones or highlights during 2011?
The entire year was a learning process, and we continued to strive to be better and grow. We had a chance to meet a few cool celebs and just people that wear the brand, and that to me is the best highlight. I was walking down 48th street in Manhattan and saw a guy wear BKB jeans, and seen a lot people on the train and random places reppin’ BKB tee’s.. That is a great feeling to see that something that was just an idea a few years back is actually in motion with people wearing the brand. In addition to that, we dropped our first collection of tee’s, and we made our first Jacket (Metal storm) which has been flying of the shelfs.

What do you have in store for 2012? Any sneak peeks?
For 2012, we’re going to be re-releasing some classics such as the Manilas, and Friscos. Originally we had made very few pieces of those jeans and not everyone got a chance to get themself a pair, so this time around we will have plenty in sock this time around. Also, we’re going to do more cut and sew tops, as well as graphics. We’re always trying out new things so you never know what we will drop.

Which celebrity do you think deserves ‘the most fashionable’ title in 2011?
I think Pharell Williams is up there on the list. His style is not too over the top but it still speaks volumes. I’m excited to see if he drops any new collections in the new year.

Get your BKB fix at www.brooklynbandit.com and follow on Twitter @bkbanditjeans.

Southpole Clothing - Apparel For The Poor?

Southpole Clothing - Apparel For The Poor?

Southpole Clothing from its very start set its self as a cheaper alternative to the other mainstream urban clothing brands that were overcharging for poorer quality. Because of this fact many misconceptions have been formed regarding the brand and its place in today's streetwear market. Check out the link to the article below for a look at southpole clothing and its effect on popular culture. Of all of the brands in the fashion industry this is the one that has established itself as a brand for anyone that wants to be an individual. See why Southpole Clothing is not just for poor people and why this brand is just as relevant as they have always been.

Drake Fires Hip Hop Since 1978

Drake Fires Hip Hop Since 1978

Drake’s been on fire these days; releasing a new album last month, outwardly dissing social media, maintaining beef with Ludacris and now firing his management team, Hip Hop Since 1978.

“Drake just felt like there were too many hands in his pockets,” an anonymous source told the New York Post. “He was getting pulled in too many different directions.”

Hip Hop Since 1978, comprised of industry moguls like Cortez Bryant, Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua, Al Brach, Gee Roberson and Kinky “B” Ellerbee, is still managing big hip-hop names like Lil Wayne, Kanye West, T.I., Nicki Minaj, Just Blaze and Young Jeezy to name a few.

The Hip Hop Since 1978 team was not the only ones who were given the axe. Dana Sims and Robert Gibbs of International Creative Management, Drake’s booking agents, were also fired due to differing business opinions, according to BET.com.

In the two management teams’ place, Drake hired Brent Smith (Snoop Dogg’s rep) of the William Morris Endeavor to represent him, and he is still signed to Cash Money Records, according to AllHipHop.com.

“The Canadian rapper’s break with his business team is consistent with recent moves he has made to surround himself with the close-knit, largely Toronto-based crew of friends and associates who have been by his side since he was just a mixtape artist,” reported BET.com. “Oliver El-Khatib, a Toronto native and member of Drake’s October’s Very Own crew, began taking on management duties for Drake earlier this year.”

In addition to the Drake tug-of-war, the same anonymous source said that conflicts between the rapper’s original Canadian management team and Hip Hop Since 1978 have arisen. “His team fromCanada is trying to wrestle back control,” claimed the source. “He may go back to them to streamline things.”

Hip-Hop Blog Falsely Censored for One Year

Hip-Hop Blog Falsely Censored for One Year

Last year, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security took over a hip-hop music blog along with 81 others due to an alleged copyright infringement that ended over false allegations. According to CNET, the government abandoned the suit on Dec. 8 after learning that the charge had been exaggerated to prove an anti-piracy point.

The seizure of the music blog, found at DaJaz1.com, was a feeble attempt by Homeland Security to curb piracy over the internet, reported CNET, except that it was done in a shady way.

“Intellectual property crimes are not victimless,” Attorney General Eric Holder said at the time of the seizure. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director John Morton added, “Today, we turn the tables on these Internet thieves.”

“It turns out that Holder’s and Morton’s claims appear to have been, well, exaggerated,” wrote CNET.

“What’s unusual here is that normally,U.S.law strongly discourages efforts to censor Web sites before a full trial can be held,” CNET continued. “But in the DaJaz1 case, a series of allegations of dubious reliability offered in an ICE affidavit were enough to censor a popular music blog — which had been featured on MTV News a few months earlier — for over a year.”

As it turns out, the four songs by Jamie Foxx, Chris Brown, Nelly and Reek Da Villian that were featured in the affidavit by ICE agent Andrew Reynolds, were actually sent to Dajaz1’s editor (Splash) for promotional use, reported CNET.

Apparently ICE kept the case under wraps by “getting extension after extension from the court under seal without showing me any papers whatsoever,” partner at the Fenwick and West law firm Andrew Bridges told CNET Dec. 8. Bridges is representing Dajaz1 pro bono. “Why did the government feel the need to keep secret the fact of its repeated extensions of time to file the forfeiture proceeding?” he asked.

The Dajaz1 blog is back in its owner’s possession, and features a temporary disclaimer that says it will be back shortly, according to CNET. In addition to this, the site demonstrates a video with a censorship petition that will be sent to ICE.

Check out the website and let Splash know what you think of the whole thing at: www.DaJaz1.com

The news that Common's next album (The Dreamer, The Believer) was going to feature exclusively No ID production could help to get any fan of his old work excited. This single seems to suggest that he is over whatever brain-fart produced Universal Mind Control, so the signs are that the LP (which is scheduled to drop in December) could see a welcome return to top form for Common.

Ear To Tha Street :: R.Kelly' s Rep denies claims

Author: santi
Subject: R.Kelly' s Rep denies claims
Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 8:11 pm (GMT 0)

R. Kelly has denied involvement in an alleged $130,000 tour ticket scam. The singer has been accused of profiting from a fraud in South Africa after a local woman,

Busiswe Zakwe, was arrested on suspicion of swindling investors. It is claimed she promised them they would benefit from ticket sales if they brought an R. Kelly tour to the country in 2005. The concerts never happened, but Zakwe allegedly kept the money and deposited some of it into the star's bank account. But the singer denies any knowledge of the incident, and insists he doesn't even know who Zakwe is.

Man oh man. Remember this classic? Ofcourse you do. Well, before the final version with MJB was layed down Method Man recorded a demo version. A whole different vibe, one verse from Meth with two females talking that sexy stuff before and after. This is exactly the purpose of a demo record, Meth recorded it and after a few listens and MJB’s opinion the record was then transformed into the classic we know it as now and went on too live on Meth’s 1994 album “Tical”. I love when stuff like this pops up out the vault, it gives you more of an insight into how records are created. Anything Meth related and I am down.

The question now is, has Jay-Z and rocawears latest fashion endeavour gone beyond good business and into nothing more than greed.  While many feel it was nothing more than a good business move by one of Hip Hops richest moguls. There is the other side of the coin that feel what Jay-z and Rocawear clothing have done, is exploited a situation for personal gain with no concern for how it looks to others. So What did they do?

Is Jay-Z Profiting from Occupy Wall Street?

Is Jay-Z Profiting from Occupy Wall Street?

In what surely seems like a a cruel joke, it’s being reported by Business Insider that Jay-Z is going to potentially be profiting off of the Occupy Wall Street protest that has captured the heart of the 99 percent. Through his Rocawear clothing imprint, Jay has plastered the Occupy Wall Street message on a T-shirt that’s currently available for pre-order via the brand’s website. Thus far, there are no plans of distributing any of the earnings from it to the movement that he’s capitalizing off of. As a member of the top 1 percent, it seems like Jay-Z’s 99 problems involve the other 99 percent. What do you guys think, should Jay-Z be profiting from a movement that is looking to expose the disparity between rich and poor? Rocawear

Drake’s Producer Noah “40″ Shebib Shares Stories Behind Their Most Personal Records

Drake’s Producer Noah “40″ Shebib Shares Stories Behind Their Most Personal Records

GQ’s Sean Fennessey did a real eye opening interview with Drake’s longtime friend, engineer and producer, Noah “40″ Shebib. This fellow Canadian has been with Drizzy for pretty much his whole rise from the bottom to the top of hip-hop.

In the interview 40 discusses how they first met and linked up musically. He also talks in detail about the backstories behind some of their most personal records and the  influences that made So Far Gone, Thank Me Later and Take Care.

GQ: It just seemed like a modern innovation on the sound. It makes sense that’s what you love. You can hear it. What about “The Calm”?
Noah “40″ Shebib:
He rapped that story out a couple times. Lyrics can be interpreted as you want, but his life is transparent through his lyrics, and it’s pretty brutally honest and it’s scary how much is there. He explained the story a couple times, briefly about this album. It was a crazy, crazy night. That was when we were living in an apartment building in Toronto, downtown, Apartment 1503 15 Fort York Boulevard. He says 1503, two couches and paintings, and he goes on to talk about that apartment where we did all that music, on the new album. He was distraught one night and showed up with $1,000 worth of champagne and I’m cussing at him because we’re all broke and trying to make this shit work! Meanwhile, he’s renting Phantoms and shit. It’s all documented. He shows up with all the liquor and he’s drinking and we’re trying to start working and he gets into a real argument with his uncle, and he went out on the balcony and started yelling at his uncle and I’d never seen him that distraught or emotionally beat up about something. He just came back in the room and said, I need to rap. Make me something. In 45 minutes, I made “The Calm” and he wrote those bars as I made the beat. Over the next five or six hours, that record unfolded in its entirety.

Drake Actually Looks Forward to His Album Leaks: “It’s Only Gonna Help Me”

Drake Actually Looks Forward to His Album Leaks: “It’s Only Gonna Help Me”

Drizzy has been taking his album leak in stride. He already addressed it briefly on Twitter. Much like J. Cole, he’s thankful it leaked with only 8 days left before Take Care’s official release. Back in October, Billboard actually presented Drake with this very scenario and asked his thoughts on his albums leaking early.

“I look forward to leaks-knock on wood. I shouldn’t probably, but I do. Like I said, if it’s a reasonable leak, I look forward to it. We’re all sitting here in the studio like, “Oh man the night this leaks, it’s gonna be so crazy!”  People talk about, “Are you gonna go on the Internet? Are you gonna stay off the Internet? What are you gonna do?”

40 protects the music really well, and I think God willing I get like the same thing I’m talking about, like a 10 day leak. And that’s something I’d be extremely excited about because I feel like if people get the opportunity to live with the music for a week before they go buy it, it’s only gonna help me, not hurt me. So I’m looking forward to hearing the feedback from everyone-that’s gonna be an exciting night when it comes out.

Billboard: J. Cole’s album “Cole World: A Sideline Story” leaked a week early and then came in at No. 1. There’s been talk that positive reception to his leak spurred sales.

Drake: I agree. I think that giving people the opportunity to judge before they go and buy, I think that can only help. There’s a loyal fan base that’s gonna go and support you just based off the fact that they want to own a copy of your material, and they know what it means to give you that one sale, and they hope that there’s another hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred thousand people that are gonna do the same thing.

Greenhouse Designs: advice on finding the Best Design for Your home's garden

For persons who love to see the flowers flourish, the seeds that grow, and the leaves that flap its wings as they dance along with the music of the wind, then, getting a greenhouse would be the next best thing that they could ever see.

A greenhouse is an item worth a gardeners funds. It is a cherished jewel for someone that is in love with nature. To have a greenhouse can mean to have something that will keep the flowers growing all year-round. It is also a particular way to obtain something out of the activity that they have selected to delight in.

So many amazing things can be declared regarding greenhouses and yet, such a few audiences can't know the criticality of greenhouses in the atmosphere. They don't have any clue that as much as it can grant income to a developing gardener, it can also bring about profitable effects to the atmosphere in keeping the ecosystem alive and leveled.

Overall, greenhouses make so much delight, happiness, and benefits that sometimes, businesspeople figure their creations a little more over the edge. Some companies say it is because the components used in making greenhouses are not that affordable, while many more say it is largely because of the technique of manufacturing the device itself that made it expensive.

Whatever the motivations are, securing a greenhouse can be very expensive that is why it is crucial to realize the right way to acquire the best greenhouse design.

There are many aspects to examine when finding a greenhouse, but the most important of all is the concept. This is because the type of design that a gardener will pick to have is based on his wants regarding the kind of experience he wants to receive.

Moreover, choosing a special design of a greenhouse should also be patterned dependent to the size of the turf or the personal fondness of the gardener. Hence, it would be smarter to know the different fashions of the greenhouse designs before deciding on a distinct structure.

The kind of greenhouse designs are further correlated over only two: attached and the freestanding.

Freestanding Structures

When a greenhouse is uttered to be freestanding, this denotes that it can stand unattached. This goes to show that this type of greenhouse design can be allocated in a space separated from the home. This distinct type of greenhouse design can be installed in an area where it can get the most amount of direct sunlight.

Since it is separate, it is essential to take note of the sunlight, electrical, waterworks to be arranged on the inside of the greenhouse.

Here are a couple of the well known greenhouse designs for the freestanding category:

1. Juliana greenhouse

This specific greenhouse design is 1 credible case of what freestanding greenhouses are. This design is ideal for the new players. It also works exemplary for those who have inadequate or confined rooms.

One of the admirable things dealing with this design is that it will not have any silicone or clips. Hence, it creates an affect of a innovative design image.

2. Hideaway design

From its tag, this design has a broad space that it seems that it can be a favorable hideout if you desired to be disassociated and get away from the tension of day-after-day being.

With its roomy region, this given greenhouse design is customarily made of an 8mm see-through polycarbonate, which has an ultra-violet coating, co-extruded into the layer. This kind of equipment tends to distribute off almost 82% soft dispersed light, which can trigger a greener structure of the plants.

Attached Greenhouses

As the name suggests, affixed greenhouses are miniature greenhouses that are fastened to any part of the house. This means that it has its support coming from that portion of the property where it is attached.

For a much better interpretation, here is a list of some of the examples of these greenhouses:

1. Even-span

Unlike the regular attached greenhouses, this specified design can be considered to be a full-sized edifice of its own. However, it still has its one gable end fastened at a house or a structure. This is typically done for even better stability.

Since it has actually one gable end that is connected to a design, it allocates more spaciousness for the plants, thereby, creating more circulation within the area. Because of its area, it can even have housing for two to three benches.

2. Window-mounted

This specified greenhouse design is fastened in a window, normally either on the east or the south side of the house. This design is especially created for everyone who would like to build up a garden of his or her own but simply cannot generate funds to buy a huge greenhouse or do not have the territory applicable for a major gardening venue.

Given all that, you have so many picks for your conviction. It is important to explain that in deciding on a given design for your greenhouse, remain in mind that every design has its investment. So better pick for something that can guarantee you a impressive run for your bucks. Cheap Greenhouses
