Jay-Z & Kanye West Cover Respect Magazine!
by on 22/08/2011Video| Jay-Z Balling At LIV In Miami!
by on 19/08/2011Jay-Z made a guest appearance at LIV nightclub last Sunday to celebrate the release of the highly anticipated joint Kanye West album, ‘Watch the Throne’.
During the night, Jay-Z bought US$250,000 worth of Armand de Brignac Champagne, setting the record for the most amount of Armand de Brignac bottles bought at the club, a record previously held by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who’d bought Armand de Brignac when his team won the NBA championships earlier this year.
Four men ensured Jay was never short of supply as they carried out champagne in a Roman Litter – a one-off, handcrafted golden icebucket that holds 20 regular-sized bottles or one of the Champagne brand’s record-breaking 30L Midas bottles – the largest luxury Champagne bottle in the world.
Other guests at the club that night include Kim Porter, Larry Johnson, Meek Mill, Flo Rida, Daddy Yankee and DJ Clue

‘Watch The Throne’ Sale Predictions!
by on 08/08/2011
Jay-Z and Kanye’s ‘Watch The Throne’ is on track to sell at least 400,000 to 500,000 copies in its first week in the U.S., according to reports.
That would instantly become the second-largest sales week of the year, behind Lady Gaga’s 1.1 million opener for “Born This Way.”
Billboard say that predicting the exact first week numbers is complex. Explaining:
Predicting “Throne’s” first week is tricky because of its unique release rollout. Traditionally, albums drop to all retailers on Tuesdays. However, “Throne” secured a Monday street date, but only through iTunes. So, its first four days of release will consist mostly of sales via Apple (with physical street-date violation sales mixed in), while the remaining three days of its first week will be a blend of physical and digital.
