Unhappy Jay Z calls George Zimmerman a “f*cking mall cop”
Rap mogul Jay Z was among those who were shocked and saddened when a Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Jay Z told Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson he didn’t sleep for 2 days after hearing the not guilty verdict.
“We all knew there was still racism but for it to be so blatant… Didn’t Trayvon have a right to stand his ground?” he said, referring to the controversial self defense law.
Jay Z blasted wannabe cop Zimmerman for racially profiling the unarmed Miami teenager.
“Professionals are taught not to profile,” he said. “This guy is a novice; this guy is a f*cking mall cop. You can’t assess a situation and figure out what you’re going to do, that’s not what you do for a living.”
Jay Z and his wife, singer Beyonce joined thousands of demonstrators at a Justice for Trayvon march in New York last weekend.
The 43-year-old father-of-2 said he hoped Trayvon’s tragic death brings about a change in the law that transports America back to its lawless wild wild west past.
“Even that Stand Your Ground law; you can have a fight with someone, and if they are running away you can shoot them and kill them and you’re fine. What?!”
Jay Z added: “Hopefully this is the moment that changed that law and changed the way we interact with each other, and you hate that a child had to be sacrificed for that.”

Rick Ross, Music News
Eventually the soldiers grow up, start their own labels and can afford to gift chains to the bawse who put them on. Meek Mill, who is now helming his own Dreamchasers label did just that this weekend, when he had a chain hand-delivered to Rick Ross on the video set of "50 Plates."
Meek couldn't attend the Rich Gang video shoot himself, so he had his boy Tak bring Rozay a brand new gold Dreamchasers chain. Ross seemed pretty satisfied with his new accessory, declaring to the cameras, “That bi*ch is nasty. My very own personal Dreamchasers piece, a gift from Meek Mill--[I'm] an official Dreamchaser. This sh-- is heavy as f---.”
Ross' Philly protege is currently prepping his Dreamchasers 3 mixtape, so he naturally took the opportunity to plus the project on his behalf. "Dreamchasers 3 gon' change the game forever," he added. "Get ready for the Hype Williams-directed 'Levels' video."

“I’ve been talking to Fresh a lot. We talk every other day, we been talking about doing music; so matter of fact we gonna get in. Me and Fresh ain’t got no problem, we never had no problem. It’s been a minute and we plan on working again.
I was been tryin’ to do that, he didn’t wanna do it. I thought personally he didn’t want no part of it because it been dead. We been lettin’ it live in the grave, ain’t nobody picked it up. It was Wayne’s decision to say let’s rock with this Big Tymers, besides that it’s been in the grave, nobody touched it.
I love his family, he loves my family, we know each other. His sister passed, my sister passed, I went to the funeral so people bring things outta context but personally he’s my brother and I got nothing but love for him and I’ma work with him again.”
Miley Cyrus Speaks On Jay-Z’s Shout Out On ‘SomewhereInAmerica’
“When I was talking Instagram / Last thing you wanted was your picture snapped / Feds still lurking / They see I’m still putting work in / Cause somewhere in America / Miley Cyrus is still twerkin’”
Jay-Z’s reference to Miley Cyrus twerking in the verse and hook of ‘SomewhereInAmerica’ from his new album Magna Carta Holy Grail surprised many but looks like Miley already had an idea about the shout out, before the song was released to the public. She told MTV UK:
“Pharrell had actually hit me [up], he was like ‘Jay-Z wants to call you and tell you that he’s shouting you out in the song tomorrow. I was in Miami and was doing crazy press for my record. So I came out… and we got to go out and hear it in a club. It was fun.”
Miley is currently putting finishing touches to her new album which will feature production from Mike WiLL Made It, Pharrell and others.

J. Cole Apologizes for Autism Lyric on 'Jodeci Freestyle'
Autism Speaks
Recently there’s been a trend that includes rappers saying something offensive, only to be attacked for it in the media and pressured to apologize. I have to be completely honest and say there’s a part of me that resents that. I view rap similar to how I view comedy. It’s going to ruffle feathers at times. It’s going to go “too far”. I do not believe that an apology is needed every time someone is offended, especially when that apology is really only for the sake of saving an endorsement or cleaning up bad press.
With that said, this is not the case today. This letter is sincere. This apology IS necessary.
In a recent verse on the song “Jodeci Freestyle”, I said something highly offensive to people with Autism. Last week, when I first saw a comment from someone outraged about the lyric, I realized right away that what I said was wrong. I was instantly embarrassed that I would be ignorant enough say something so hurtful. What makes the crime worse is that I should have known better.
To the entire Autism community who expressed outrage, I’m moved and inspired by your passion, and I’m amazed at how strong you are as a unit. I have now read stories online from parents about their struggles and triumphs with raising an Autistic child and I admire how incredibly strong you have to be to do so. It’s touching. It also makes what I said even more embarrassing for me. I feel real shame. You have every right to be angry.
To anyone suffering from Autism, either mildly or severely, I am sorry. I’m bound to make mistakes in my life, but in my heart I just want to spread Love.
I want to educate myself more on Autism, and I’ll gladly own my mistake and serve as an example to today’s generation that there’s nothing cool about mean-spirited comments about someone with Autism. People with this disorder and their loved ones have to go through so much already, the last thing they need is to hear something as ignorant as what I said. I understand.
To the parents who are fighting through the frustrations that must come with raising a child with severe autism, finding strength and patience that they never knew they had; to the college student with Asperger’s Syndrome; to all those overcoming Autism. You deserve medals, not disrespect. I hope you accept my sincere apology.
Much Love
-Cole
Kendrick Lamar Defends Jay Z’s Success In Hip-Hop
Kendrick Lamar is growing into a successful artist by the day, but he doesn’t forget to give credit where it’s due. During his interview with Bullett magazine, the TDE member praised Jay Z’s longstanding career. He commended him for his achievements and saluted him for his contributions to hip-hop. “I salute people like Jay Z,” Lamar said. “How many tours has he been on? How many verses has he put down? How many interviews? How many radio shows? People forget that.”
Lamar added Hov’s detractors come from the fact they can’t imagine someone from the Marcy Projects is making million dollar business deals. Hip-hop history shows Jay was committed to become the next big thing. He argues rap fans seem to forget that sometimes. “They can’t fathom how a dude from the Marcy Projects is sitting next to Barack Obama. So they make up all types of crazy sh*t and forget the facts: This nigga dedicated every single day of his life to this, and what he has wasn’t just given to him. It’s no mistake he’s at where he’s at.”
