From an awesome NPR story: “Some of the greatest minds in national security have turned their attention to a classic problem: When there is one dominant power, the rest of the world tries to challenge it. That's what happened to Britain in the 19th century and to the United States today. The same thing is happening in the world of rap.”

Cookie Monster does a remix of “99 Problems” by Jay Z. He's got 99 problems but a cookie's not one! The best part are the SUBTITLES! No, wait, that's not the best part. The Fozzy cameo? I don't know. This whole thing just kind of rulezzz.

MUSIC BUZZ: Someone's gone and made a Radiohead/Jay-Z mashup. What kind of epicness will ensue when you combine the most epic rapper and the most epic band? Unfortunately, the name Jaydiohead is pretty un-epic. This might be the end of post-modernism as we know it.

STYLE BUZZ: Hip hop moguls Jay-Z and Diddy have both praised the benefits of waxing…down there. It may be a couple of years after the fact, but it seems like Outkast really broke through to these guys, persuading them to get “so fresh and so clean.”

After hearing that Noel Gallagher said he didn’t want Jay-Z performing at Glastonbury, Jay-Z does a cover of “Wonderwall.” Noel Gallagher starts a rock vs. hip-hop feud and Jay-Z comes out on top by proving he has a sense of humor (but unfortunately, not a very good sense of vocal pitch).
