Say What Now!?!: Fox Writer Blames Jay Z For Aaron Hernandez Alleged Murder

Fox News columnist Jason Whitlock stirred up controversy with one of his recent pieces, which claims that Jay Z is somehow responsible for the alleged criminal actions of Aaron Hernandez. He argues that poisonous Hollywood culture has overtaken athletic culture in sports, and sent our beloved sporting pastimes to derailment.

"Al Capone is a bigger deal than Babe Ruth. Aaron Hernandez is a reflection of where we are as a society," writes Whitlock. 

"Like Allen Iverson and an endless plethora of fatherless and directionless modern athletes since the end of Michael Jordan's reign, Hernandez saw his athletic gifts as a platform to represent where he was from, not where he hoped to go. He repaid the 860. He kept it real. He stayed true to his boyz from the 'hood. He mimicked the mindset of the pop-culture icons we celebrate today. Jay Z is the new gold standard. The whole sports world played along with Jigga Man's charade of NBA ownership. Now Kevin Durant and other athletes are flocking to Hova's sports agency. An unrepentant, flamboyant former drug dealer has the White House, President Obama-stamped seal of approval...Rappers and musicians are rebels. They look normal in prison tattoos and white Ts. We can no longer distinguish bad from good. We no longer even aspire to be good; it has considerably less value. That's what Aaron Hernandez represents, to me."

Return Of A Titan: Priority Records Set To Make A Comeback

Nearly 30 years ago Los Angeles was the site where one of the most historic Hip Hop labels was launched. Priority Records would go on to release music by legendary rap acts like N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, Master P, Ice-T, and Jay Z.

After a being bought by EMI in 1998 and then merged into Capitol Records in 2004, the label was subsequently shut down. Priority is now set to relaunch under the umbrella of Capitol Music Group and Insurgency Music. This time as a producer-centered label.

“I don’t come from the Hip Hop world, but the genesis of that label was really about supporting the indie level,” said new Priority president and co-founder of Insurgency Michael Cohen. “The emergence of the producer as an artist and brand within the global electronic music scene and beyond has heralded a paradigm shift in the way music is created, discovered, and spread.”

The first official release from the new Priority will be the song “Higher” by Hip Hop producer Just Blaze and “Harlem Shake” creator Baauer on August 13. The track features Jay Z’s voice. A video for the single is currently being shot by director Nabil Elderkin (Nas & Damian Marley’s “Patience”, Kanye West’s “Paranoid”).

Limelight Shutdown: Trouble Brewing Between Kanye West & Jay-Z Over "MCHG"?

After spending around three weeks in the limelight before dropping his much discussed "Yeezus" album, Kanye talk abruptly ceased when Jay-Z announced his new album, "Magna Carta Holy Grail." We all know Yeezy's got a sensitive ego, and there's no way being overshadowed by Hov yet again hasn't bothered him at all. Even his creative projection marketing campaign was silenced when Hov revealed his groundbreaking deal with Samsung.

While Hip Hop fans everywhere listened to Funkmaster Flex scream over "MCHG" tracks last night, Kanye was tweeting about Guillermo del Toro's new movie. He picked quite the night to get on his neglected Twitter and NOT talk about "Magna Carta Holy Grail."

As one fan put it, his Guillermo del Toro tweets came off as "high-end subtweeting."

Are we in for a cold war between Jay and 'Ye?

The Roc Is Official: Jay-Z Is Now An Officially Licensed NBA Agent

Is there anything Jay-Z can't do? The rapper/mogul and Roc Nation Sports founder can add licensed NBA agent to his resume. 

ESPN reports: Will Jay-Z actually represent clients of his newly created sports agency, Roc Nation Sports, in contract negotiations? Ron Berkowitz, a spokesman for Roc Nation Sports, confirmed to ESPN.com that, as of this week, Jay-Z is now licensed to work as an NBA agent. 

Juan Perez, president of Roc Nation Sports, also is now certified with the National Basketball Players Association. The news was first reported by the Sports Business Journal. Interestingly, it seems that Hova has yet to sell his ownership stake in the Brooklyn Nets as widely reported. What's not clear is how soon Jay-Z can represent players. A source close to the situation said that, as of Wednesday, the hip-hop mogul had not sold his small ownership share (less than 1 percent) of the Brooklyn Nets. Industry speculation is Jay-Z might be able to sign players as long as he agrees to pass off his share of the Nets in the near future. 

Owners of NBA teams cannot represent players. Roc Nation Sports has yet to land an NBA player on it roster. Speculation is that Kevin Durant plans to sign on, having left his agent, Rob Pelinka, a couple of weeks ago. Pro players represented by Roc Nation Sports include Geno Smith of the NFL, Skylar Diggins of the WNBA and Robinson Cano of the MLB.

And Another One: Jay-Z Reportedly Signing $20M Deal With Samsung

It's only been a few months since Beyonce locked down a $50 million endorsement deal with Pepsi, and now Jay-Z and Samsung are reportedly getting in bed together to the tune of $20 million.

Page Six reports that Hov may create a social media network as part of the deal. If the Samsung deal is true, it would only be the latest in a number of high-profile business moves Jay-Z has made over the past couple of years. 

He set up Roc Nation Sports; he moved his music label, Roc Nation, from Sony to Universal; he launched the massive Made In America music festival in Philadelphia and even executive produced "The Great Gatsby."

Jay-Z wasn't kidding when he rapped, "I'm not a businessman, I'm a business, man."
