Jay-Z Announces Tracklist, One Day Tour
Sued over Black Album samples
It's old news to those of you who were waiting slavishly by your computers this weekend, checking torrent and p2p sites every half hour for one of the big name fourth-quarter rap albums to leak (and pretty much all of them did), but Jay-Z's Kingdom Come (out November 21 on Def Jam) now has a tracklist.
Just Blaze, Kanye West, Dr. Dre, the Neptunes, and Swizz Beatz all produced tracks on the album, and featured guests include Beyonce, Usher, Pharrell, Ne-Yo, John Legend, and Coldplay's Chris Martin, who produced the track on which he is featured, album closer "Beach Chair".
According to various reports, Jay will literally phone it in on November 18 as he teams with Cingular Music for "The Jay-Z Hangar Tour", a 17-hour jaunt via G5 jet to the airports of Atlanta, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas (where the tour will end). He will perform for radio contest winners in these cities, and Cingular customers with video capability will be able to watch the performances on their phones.
As previously reported, MTV will air "Diary of Jay-Z: Water for Life"-- the special documenting Jay's recent world tour to raise awareness of the world's water crisis-- on November 24.
Finally, Bridgeport Music-- the publishers who successfully halted sales of Ready to Die over sample clearance issues-- have brought a lawsuit against Jay for uncleared samples on The Black Album's "Justify My Thug". The amount for which they are suing him has not been disclosed.
