Jay-Z appears in his first music video for a song called The Originators with his mentor Jaz in 1989.

Jay-Z is no originator, he’s a performance artist, who looks like a nervous nerd in this video.

We heard reports that Jay-Z tackled Chris Martin on stage at Wembley stadium last Friday after they performed Lost together at the 1:50 mark.

The report said they rolled around on the stage for about 30 seconds, but those reports were grossly over exagerated as you can see in the video.

Jay-Z is playing down, and defending, the rude behavior by Kanye West when he ruined the historic moment of Taylor Swift being the first country music artist to win a MTV VMA award. Jay-Z to Jo Whiley of BBC Radio 1 on Friday:

“Of course it was rude because it was her moment but that’s the way he really felt. I think it was rude but the way they’re treating him… He’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed.”

No one was harmed? Taylor’s moment was history for the VMA awards, and in her life it was also history, especially at 19 years-old. We get the impression Jay-Z doesn’t care because Taylor is just some white girl to him.

Jay-Z, Rihanna, and Kanye West recorded, and made music video, for Run This Town.

Is this a black power video?

Beyonce and Jay-Z were in Croatia earlier this week where they had some trouble with an agressive paparazzo, but they also had some fun. Beyonce showed off her incredible body in a bikini while Jay-Z watched from aboard his giant yacht.
