Recession Hits Jay-Z Concert

Word is Jay-Z helped put a promoter in negative cash after a concert with him in it went minus 750k. Jay himself got paid 750k also, and the concert had many other popular artists involved. If you didn't think the economy was hurting everything, well now we know. Maybe, there should be a new way to push artists across the country, because right now even I don't wanna spend a dollar on a burger.

LL Cool J's Clothing Line No More

Correction on this article, Sear's reports they have NOT taken LL'c clothes off there shelves, and they are NOT shutting down the clothing line. I think something weird is going on here.

Straight from Hip Hop DX the news is Sears has discontinued LL's clothing line. Now me personally I had no clue there was a clothing line, and also wasn't aware it was making money at a point. Oh well, aren't we in a recession anyways? Hold your head up LL, I know you got some classics you can live off of.

R.U.L.E.

Ja Rule is BACK! According to this article on SOHH, Ja plans to drop a new album this year, and a jewelry line. One thing I want to ask Ja is, Who is gonna buy your jewelry in a recession? Oh well, maybe the 50 cent Ja Rule beef will rejuvenate Hip Hop lol.
