Jay-Z - Covers XXL's October Issue
Jay: When I say I’m the best, I don’t say that outta my ass. I say that with all my stats behind me. I put that against anybody. I mean anybody. I really believe that…
I believe in a lot of things. I believe that ‘SportsCenter’ is the best thing on TV. I shouldn’t have to prove it. But I do have these stats to prove it. I’m talking about real run. I’m not talking about years off. I’m talking about straight—boom, boom, boom—back to back.
We’re not talking about heritage acts either. We’re not talking about respect what I’ve done. I’m talking No. 1 [albums] 10 times. The Beatles is the only one [to have more No. 1 albums]. They got 19, and if I get a surge of creativity, I could make nine albums next year.”
XXL’s October issue includes stories on The Making of The Blueprint, the current state of lyricism in hip-hop, Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II and much more. The mag hits newsstands September 15. - via XXL

Video: Jay-Z - "Run This Town" (Preview)
When it comes to his music videos, Jay-Z has logged some pretty serious frequent-flier miles.
The Brooklyn wordsmith ventured up north to Toronto for the "Big Pimpin' " video and even trekked overseas to Monaco for his "Show Me What You Got" clip.
So where could he go for his next video, "Run This Town," featuring Kanye West and Rihanna? Back in time, maybe? Queens, New York? In fact, both!
In a 30-second preview of "Run This Town" (the second single from Jay's forthcoming Blueprint 3 LP), we see an angry, torch-wielded mob surrounding the trio in a post-apocalyptic setting that looks like a scene right out of "Mad Max."
The full video premieres Thursday on MTV!

Video: Calvin Harris - Humanthesizer (the first human synth)
Calvin performs a version of his new single "Ready For The Weekend" on a unique human synthesizer. The instrument employs 15 bikini clad models painted with Bare Conductive, a new skin safe ink which conducts electricity. When the performers touch, the connection completes a circuit, triggering a sound.
The instrument consists of 34 pads on the floor which have been painted with the conductive ink and connected to a computer via some clever custom electronics. The performers stand on the pads, and touch hands to complete a circuit and trigger a sound. Different combinations of pads trigger the different sounds needed to play the track.

Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3 - Official Album Cover
Official Cover via Jay-Z.com
Looks great!...Probably the most creative Jay-Z album cover so far....
and maybe a bit Coldplay inspired?
The Blueprint 3 drops on September 11th, 2009!
Video: KiD CuDi x Complex
Back on his first (and only) official mixtape Kid Cudi rapped, “They say I’m Complex like the magazine, I want my closet complex like the magazine.”
A bit of foreshadowing? Perhaps, because the G.O.O.D. Music MC is now a Complex cover star, appearing on their August/September 2009 issue, the annual Style & Design special, which officially hits stands on August 11.
