HOLY SH!T: Jay-Z Is An Illuminati Time Traveler?

Okay folks, calm down. That headline was meant to be ridiculous and no, we do not believe Jay-Z is a member of the illuminati or an actual time traveler. Everyone knows the Stone Cutters rule the world anyways.

A few years back, actor Nicolas Cage got a nice boost of press coverage when a photo surfaced of a civil war era soldier who bared a striking resemblance to Cage. This image spawned a wealth of knockoff images placing Cage and other notable celebs in various points in history, but then the fad quietly slipped into obscurity (until now, of …

Justin Timberlake Announces ’20/20 Experience’ World Tour

Just a day after teasing the release of The 20/20 Experience Part 2 Justin Timberlake has announced plans to embark on the ’20/20 Experience World Tour’ later this year.

Slated to kickoff on Halloween, which follows JT’s run of shows with Jay-Z, ‘The 20/20 Experience World Tour’ will run through early 2014. The international tour will travel through North America, Europe, South America and Australia, but currently only a handful of dates (mainly US) have been revealed. JT has not confirmed any support for the run other than his band, The Tennessee Kids, but we’re sure as the tour approaches …

The XX Stream Their ‘Great Gatsby’ Contribution, “Together”

Is it possible for another 2013 film to have more hype for its soundtrack than The Great Gatsby?

No, that is a serious question. Is it at all possible? I feel like I can fully commit my love to this film, but maybe there is another seemingly perfect sonic journey awaiting me in another upcoming motion picture I’ve yet to learn about. Either way, with a handful of snippets and couple of full tracks, after today it is safe to say the soundtrack for the upcoming adaptation of The Great Gatsby is going to leave you with your jaw …

STREAM: Common – “Open Letter” (Remix)

Common has partnered up with Jay-Z to release a remix of Hova’s latest track, “Open Letter,” which has also been called “Open Letter Pt. II.”

Of all of the tracks for the two to team up on, this one couldn’t be any better with the two spitting rhymes on Jay-Z’s recent controversial Cuba trip and Fox News’ distasteful coverage on Common’s White House spoken word set from 2011, among other things.

Follow the jump to listen to the song.

Jay-Z Returns To Music With “Open Letter”

Jay-Z hasn’t left the celebrity spotlight in two decades, but the man who gave us Reasonable Doubt in the 90s has been relatively quiet for the better part of the last year. There are many reasons for this, including the birth of his daughter with singer Beyonce (who also recently returned to music), but it’s an absence that has been felt nonetheless.

Well hip hop fans, it’s time to collectively dry our eyes because Hova has returned in glorious fashion with “Open Letter.” Featuring production from Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, the first solo track from Jigga in over a …

The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby Soundtrack Revealed

After watching the following trailer that’s hit the net today, most viewers would agree with me when I say that The Great Gatsby is shaping up to be one of the biggest summer blockbusters of 2013. Along with a second trailer, info on the film’s soundtrack has been released as well.

Featuring songs by the likes of Jay-Z, Lana Del Rey, Jack White, and Gotye, things are looking to be pretty diverse for this novel-based film. Lana Del Rey’s track, “Young And Beautiful,” will serve as the lead single with a street date of April 23, …

STREAM: Kendrick Lamar “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe (Remix)” Feat. Jay-Z

It’s here. After being previewed at SXSW last week, the official remix for Kendrick Lamar‘s hit “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe” has reached the Internets.

With Hova on the track and a reworked bridge, the Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City single reaches new heights of hotness.

From the mix, we get two new verses from Kendrick himself, touching on his sophomore effort’s success. Jay-Z preaches on being rich and famous for making rap music. It’s two ends of the rap spectrum on one tune.

Despite what Lamar says in his second verse and in my opinion, he beat out Jay …

Beyonce, on the other hand, has a $30k credit limit on her HSBC credit card and is all paid up on her bills and mortgages.

Justin Timberlake disses Kanye West on Saturday Night Live?

If you caught Saturday Night Live on March 9, you may not have caught one of the lyric changes Justin Timberlake threw in during his performance of “Suit And Tie.” While performing, Justin Timberlake changed the original lyrics in the second verse from “Shit so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit” to “My hits so sick, got rappers acting dramatic.” The lyric change was a sly yet nationally aired diss directed towards Kanye West’s comments made on February 23 in London, where Kanye West told the concert crowd, “I got love for Hov, but I ain’t …

STREAM: Justin Timberlake – “Suit & Tie” (Dillon Francis Remix)

The material that electronic music producer Dillon Francis generally doesn’t fall within the scope of what we cover here at Under The Gun Review, but a track that bangs this hard is tough to ignore. Never mind the fact that source material Francis is tweaking is a song we’re big fans of.

Apparently there are a number of admirers of Francis’ rework of Justin Timberlake’s comeback hit “Suit & Tie”, including Timberlake himself. Earlier this week the producer took to Twitter to spread the good word that his remix got the “Official” tag from JT.
