A friend of mine recently told me, “Help me appreciate Kanye West.” He said that with the “fits” he hears of Kanye making in the news, he finds it hard to appreciate his music. Sometimes it can be a little hard to listen to the music when your voice is what’s heard in […]

Jay-Z may be trying to jump ship from Island Def Jam.
A source very close to the hip-hop mogul confirms he is in negotiations to jump to rival Columbia.
