Jay-Z ft. Swiss Beatz: 'On To The Next One'

UK. Release on Friday, April 16 2010 
In a recent interview, Jay-Z revealed that his aim for the third and final Blueprint album was, well, to "set the blueprint" for the next phase of his career.

However, after the dream team urban pop collaboration that was 'Run This Town', an anthemic ode to his native New York in the form of 'Empire State Of Mind', and some Mr Hudson-assisted musings on staying 'Young Forever', it's only until now that Jigga's mission for The Blueprint 3 is fully realised.


'On To The Next One' sees him up with Swizz Beatz, who pitches in on vocals as well as fulfilling knob-twiddling duties.

Over pounding beats and a looped vocal sample from Justice's 'D.A.N.C.E', Mr Beyoncé firmly reminds us why he's leader of the hip-hop pack: "N***az stuck on stupid / I gotta keep it movin' / N***az make the same sh*t / Me, I make the Blueprints."

While it may not be his most radio-friendly moment, this certainly proves that Hova has no intention whatsoever of relinquishing his King of Rap crown.

P Diddy: "I still have insecurities"

P.Diddy has admitted that despite his wealth and fame he still has "insecurities". The rap mogul - who stars alongside Russell Brand in forthcoming movie Get Him To The Greek Click here to see trailer - revealed that he has not always been so confident in his acting abilities.

P.Diddy said that he has repeatedly been asked to star in an episode of Inside The Actors Studio, but always declined because of nerves.

"They have been calling me for the last three years to do it, and I was kind of nervous and said, 'I'm not at that level'," he told MTV. "I'm looking at Meryl Streep up there, and Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino and Denzel Washington and Chris Rock.

"They were saying they wanted to take it from a different perspective of somebody on the rise. I appreciated that."

 

He added: "After doing Broadway and now with Get Him To The Greek coming out... the time is right. I still have fears though, I still have insecurities."

Dr. Dre to Perform with Jay-Z at Coachella?


Fans attending the Coachella Music & Arts Festival this weekend may be in for a surprise as word has it Jay-Z will be bringing out Dr. Dre during his set. According to the rumor mill, Jay and Dre will perform their latest collaboration 'Under Pressure' which is said to be the lead single off the super producer's long awaited 'Detox' album.

At this point any news surrounding Dre and his 'Detox' album is hard to believe until it actually happens. The 'Detox' single was to emerge last week, according to Dre himself. And, although sources close to the Compton native's label, Aftermath Records, revealed that he will indeed hit the main stage with Jiggaman on April 16, there has been no confirmation (or denial) from either party.

As previously reported, the Brooklyn MC will co-headline the three-day festival, along with Muse and Gorillaz, which takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Other big names slated to perform include... De La Soul, Wale, and B.O.B.

According to their source, "Jay and Bey normally go out mid-morning when it's quiet. Their bodyguards are always in tow but they never ride in the car with them."

In regards to what kind of car Bey's gonna get their source also said, Beyonce is doing so well Jay is already eyeing up motors for her for when she passes.

Jay-Z has his eye on a flashy Bentley but she wants something a little more sensible. "Beyonce wants something smaller and less pimpy.

Money isn't an issue but she doesn't want to feel like she's driving a tank. She does want a car that's big enough to take out her family and friends if she needs to though." [Read more:]
