I did not realize until this very moment, that the opener for Voltron was voiced by Optimus Prime! Hell I just wanted a reason to drop those pics.

Hov gains a new nickname courtesy of Hewlett-Packard. I’m sure you’ve seen the HP commercial featuring a headless olympian Shaun White. HP will be airing the Jay-Z spot. Here’s your peak. At the end of the flash, you can scan a few generic files. But that resume is impressive. This shows up as Jay announces yet another concert for his retirement! This one where he’ll perform all of the classic Reasonable Doubt in its entirety. Life is great.

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, Brookyln rap icon Jay-Z will take the stage June 25 for a one-night only concert at New’s York’s Radio City Music Hall.

The Def Jam Recordings President will perform songs from the album in their entirety.

The concert marks a milestone for Jay-Z, who was recently named “The Greatest MC of All Time” in a recent MTV news survey.

The rapper, born Shawn Carter, struggled to get a record deal a decade ago as his first release was introduced as a bootlegged cassette tape that made its way around New York’s hip-hop community.

The resistance from record labels resulted in the creation of Roc-A-Fella Records and the official release of Reasonable Doubt on June 25, 1996.

Since then, Jay-Z has sold more than 40 million albums, won numerous awards and branched out beyond the rap arena to become the founder and chairman of Rocawear, co-owner of the New Jersey Nets, and co-owner of Carol’s Daughter, a skin care and beauty line.

The wordsmith, who became the first non-athlete to enter into a major footwear co-venture with his S. Carter line for Reebok, also found a vehicle for philanthropic work with his Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation.

A limited number of tickets for the show will go on sale at 9 a.m. est Friday (June 9) exclusively through Ticketmaster.

That’ll sell out in 20 minutes. How can any other entertainer call theirselves “King” (busta, TI) when they still got Jay breathing. This concert alone will recoop all of the investment Def Jam made in Christina Milian over the years.
