Excerpt:"Hip-Hop Rumors:
Jay-Z, Pimp C, Michael Jackson and 50 Cent
MORE ON THIS JAY-Z ALBUM
So, Kanye said what he said at Illinois State (that Jay-Z was going to have an album out this year). Now, I am hearing, like we’ve all been hearing, that Jay-Z already has several songs recorded. The alleged name of this album is supposed to be called 8th Wonder, but I can’t fully verify that. Sources also say that Jay-Z maybe be dropping next year, not this year. Some chatter suggests Jay continuously teases the Def Jam staff by playing his new joints in the office, but nobody gets a copy. Maybe first quarter of 07?
50 CENT AND MICHAEL JACKSON!
Since Billboard forwarded this rumor along, yes, Michael Jackson and 50 Cent are reportedly working together on some music or are thinking about it. But don’t get mad, several rappers have worked with MiJac, including Jay-Z, Biggie and Heavy D. It’s not a death sentence for rap. I also heard that 50 Cent and LL Cool J might have some business that they are working on, but I don’t have the details. More on that later…"
