Jay-Z

By Anthony Bosco I love the Jay-Z references. The swearing Wigga grandma has become an all too common cheap gag in teen comedies, but Betty White gets her rap on with both class and flair. I don't think I've ever heard anything mash "Change Clothes" and "Izzo" together, but it works.

Singer Beyonce Knowles, who married rapper Jay-Z earlier this year, has revealed that she refused to wear an engagement ring, dismissing it as just material.

By beatslikebombs Hip-hop's sleeper romance with eminently deserving London boundary-smasher M.I.A. is a fun thing to behold.

Instead of just getting wedding rings, the couple also got matching tattoos of the Roman numeral four on their ring fingers, so if they take off the bands for work or to go swimming, a mark of some form is still there.

Tip, who demanded his sunglasses before the music played, started the song with his verse (which is last on the record) and after a taste of the chorus, Jay came from the back. "Ho-oh-vaaaaaah," the people started calling out within seconds, going along with the playful singing Jay does on...
