Jay Zed is an idiot (and his wife is putting the beef on)

From the NME:

Jay-Z has explained the thinking behind his new song ‘History’, which he performed at the pre-inaugration ball at Washington DC’s Warner Theater on Monday (January 19).

The rapper, who headed to Capitol Hill to watch
Barack Obama’s Presidential inauguration yesterday (January 21), told MTV News he hoped that the song, written for Obama, came across as “deep but fun”.

He said: “The ‘History’ record is really about – once again – about making history. But I use different words as if they were women: ‘Success. I met success and success was a sister of defeat’.

“You know, if you listen to the record it’s pretty much talking about trying to find victory, victory being a woman, and so me and victory can make a kid – the kid being history, and then history tells your legacy. It’s deep but it’s fun. It’s not really that complicated.”

    … and that kid shall be known as Destiny’s Child?
    What a fud.

    I see even the likes of Arcade Fire are involving themselves in this “celebration” of… what exactly? Worst thing I’ve heard about them since their lacklustre 2nd album.

    Aye, even if you accept the preposterous analogy, it disnae even work by his own rules:

    “it’s pretty much talking about trying to find victory, victory being a woman,(OK. Nonsense, but go on) and so me and victory can make a kid (Hmm. This is getting a bit ridiculous, but I think I am still with you) – the kid being history (History. You’ve called the kid History. OK. Alright. I can accept that I suppose), and then history tells your legacy (Emm. Nut pal. What are you oan about? Victory and History are people, but then we go back to legacy being a concept? Nut. Ye cannae have it baith ways)

    Cock cheese

    Maybe the Jiggaman was referencing his wife’s bugeoning chassis when he said he was up for some “deep butt fun”.

    Aye,

    Hud tae regulate. I sent you an email telling you how not tae be a web bawbag. I’ll recap here…

    1. bmp files are massive and a huge drain on bandwith (use jpg or gif instead and make sure your images are less than 25kb in size).
    2. The images were all different sizes and were posted at full size in post. This looked ridiculous. Try using the thumbnail options or at least ensure all your images are the same size before you upload them, i.e. Width should be around 250px to look decent.
    3. Possible copyright infringement since you can only claim fair use and by claiming fair use you really should provide a link to the orginal image… (not a huge issue but still).
