Justin Timberlake is procrastinating on dropping any new music like a boss, and his latest venture (aside from acquiring Henry Kissinger’s eyeglasses) is becoming creative director of Myspace.

“There’s a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect. Myspace has the potential to be that place… Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there’s a natural social component to entertainment. I’m excited to help revitalize Myspace by using its social media platform to bring artists and fans together in one community.”

Other than his newfound love of generic business talk (I much prefer him informing me of his intent to have me naked by the end of this song), Timberlake’s statement seems to indicate that he’s going to turn Myspace into a kind of art-Reddit, which could be the site’s saving grace, since it already tried and failed to be a place for people to interact with entertainers, listen to music and watch videos, albeit one made eye-bleedingly ugly by whatever HTML monstrosity people decided to pepper their pages with.

And the bubbling, carefully-worded enthusiasm goes both ways. Tim Vanderhook, the CEO of Specific Media, the company that purchased the site from News Corp, said:

“We’re thrilled about the opportunity to rebuild and reinvigorate Myspace… We look forward to partnering with someone as talented as Justin Timberlake, who will lead the business strategy with his creative ideas and vision for transforming Myspace. This is the next chapter of digital media, and we are excited to have a hand in writing the script.”

Holy mixed metaphors, Batman! Between rebuilding, rewriting and reinvigorating Myspace, when will JT have time to plot the sequel to FutureSex/LoveSounds, the much darker The Sexy Strikes Back?

What should have been a celebratory event last night for Pete Rock and Smif-N-Wessun turned chaotic when the NYPD shut down their ‘Monumental’ album release party.

XXL is reporting that a total of eleven people, including five cops were injured when clashes between police and concert goers broke out outside of a club on Manhattan’s Lower East Side last night (June 28).

The cops were initially called in by club security due to some unruly individuals. When cops arrived they detained one person outside, but the situation eventually escalated into a riot.

Police used pepper spray and billy clubs to try and disperse the crowd, but that didn’t seem to work much.

Initial reports said that Pete Rock had been injured, but that rumor turned out to be false. Rock did however address the situation via twitter.

“EVERYBODY IM GOOD,IM WAITING 4 MY MAN TO COME OUT OF DA PRECINCT! COPS WERE BEATING PEOPLE UP AND ITS ALL ON FILM!!!!” he wrote. “BUT IT TOOK A BUNCH OF THEM TO DISRESPECT MY N*GGA LOUIE MAN! IT WAS LIKE 10 COPS BEATING ON 1 MAN,BILLIE CLUBS AND ALL THAT!”

General Steele of Smif-N-Wessun said that was last night’s events were typical of NYPD’s relationship with the hip hop community. He spoke with Jay Diamond outside of the event right as things seemed to calm down.

“Right now you are witnessing some real live New York City sh*t,” Steele said. “There was no fights. There was no confrontations. It was all kinds of people in there from all over the place. It was going on, it was poppin’. Then the police came and stormed the place. Telling us that we had to get out. Then they started beating on people ,” he explained further. “Then New Yorkers like myself we get frustrated when the police come in and instead of bringing order to the crowd, they create more chaos.”

Lil Wayne Covers July/August Edition Of XXL. Says He’s Ready To Retire Soon

After twelve albums (eight solo, three with the Hot Boys and one with Birdman) Lil Wayne is starting to think about hanging up the mic.

In a new interview with XXL the 28-year old hinted that his career might fade to black after his ninth solo album, ‘Tha Carter IV’ drops in August.

Of course we’ve seen this before act before. Jay-Z famously retired in 2003 only to return to the game three years later.

The big difference between the two is the fact that Jay doesn’t have any kids while Wayne has four. With such a hectic schedule recording and touring, Weezy doesn’t get to spend the time with his family that he would like to.

“I’m bowing out still on top,” Wayne told XXL. “I’ma make y’all want me when I retire. I’ma make y’all be like, ‘Nooo!’ I ain’t leaving out this b*tch when y’all be like, ‘Yeah, it’s about time, dawg.’ Carter IV might be my last one. I’ma make y’all be like, ‘F*ck!’ Yeah, n*gga, I’m gone. I honestly think it’s unfair to my kids. I’m super dedicated into what I do. Like, it’s no questions—it’s hands down, I do this. I live this. I don’t have a day out my week that I do something else. I do this every day of my life, and I’m not about to stop, ’cause that’s the only way you can succeed in this business, is to do it the way I do it. I want to succeed the way I want to succeed. You can succeed. You can put out a hit… But to do it the way I want to do it, to be comfortable to do what the f*** I want to do, you’ve got to work like no other. Like I said, it’s unfair to my kids. So about 30, 31, 32, I gotta get ready.”

The Young Money CEO doesn’t think he’ll be hurting for cash. He plans on kicking his feet up and caking off a of potent roster of artists, Drake and Nicki Minaj in particular.

“I expect to eat, and eat well,” he said “I expect [Drake] to be a lot more successful than he has ever been. I mean, this guy’s a superstar. He is the definition. That’s what I told y’all before he was: ‘That’s the definition of a superstar.’ And like Nicki, he’s only breaking ice. He has yet to be who he’s going to be. I’m banking on them.”

To read the full interview pick up the July/August 2011 issue when it hits newsstands July 12.

Do you think Wayne is serious about walking away from the rap game forever?

Roc4Life.com reports:

Some wondered what compelled JAY-Z to write Decoded. To brandish his lyrical prowess? No, that’s what we have OHHLA.com for. To analyze his own words? No sir, that’s why critics exist. Hov had one goal in mind: he wanted to show that rap–all rap, not just his–is poetry.

In this never-before-seen video, JAY-Z makes a case for the political and conscious thought behind rap music. – words by Rizoh

“Some of the things Biggie wrote,” says Jay-Z, “if you take those lyrics and pull them away from music and put them up on the wall, someone will say, ‘This is genius…this is genius work.'”
