From Mr. & Mrs. Carter to their new baby daughter is this press statement. They also mentioned that Blue was born naturally and NOT via C-section as previously reported.

Also being corrected reported is that Beyonce and Jay-Z did NOT pay $1.3 million so they could give birth to Blue Ivy in a sealed off private floor.

Jay Z & Beyonce in Paris where Blue Ivy was conceived….

A rep for Lenox Hill Hospital released a statement, claiming,

“The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true. The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. The family does have its own security detail on site. However, the hospital has been and continues to be in control of managing all security at the facility. We have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days.”

Whoop there it is!

So finally “baby-once” arrived on Saturday night in New York City. Congratulations to papa Jay-Z Carter & mama Beyonce!

According to a hospital employee, Beyonce and her hip-hop hubby, Shawn Carter rented out Manhattan’s Lenox Hill Hospital’s entire fourth floor for $1.3 million. Beyonce had checked into the upper East Side hospital on Friday night under the name “Ingrid Jackson,” for a scheduled C-section delivery of her daughter.

The “Crazy in Love” couple named their bundle of joy, IVy Blue Carter (some are saying the baby’s name is Blue IVy Carter)….regardless, she is here!

Congrat!

Also, the car in the “Otis” video, will be auctioned off and the money raised will go towards the East African Drought Disaster.

According to the World Vision website:

The most severe drought in decades is threatening the lives of more than 11 million people — especially young children — in the Horn of Africa. Famine has been declared in parts of southern Somalia, and threatens to spread further if nothing is done to prevent it. Kenya and Ethiopia are also severely affected by the crisis, with millions in critical need of food and water.

“Watch the Throne”, hot hip hop collabo by Jay Z & Kanye West….

Came out early this morning! My instant favorite is “Who Gon Stop Me?”….

Kanye West:

My money purple. Y’all Steve Urkel, I’m Oprah circle. I wrote the verse, That I hope will hurt you

Jay Z:

Who gone stop me huh?  Beat the odds…Start me broke, I bet I get rich. I’m 3 steps removed, I know how to move. It’s looking like, I don’t know how to lose. I’m winning again, I’m at the Wynn. I went through hell, I’m expecting heaven, I’m owed, I’m throwed And I stuck to the G-code, I’m here, Oh yeah, I promise I ain’t going nowhere…Like broke, Like nope, Like ha, I ain’t no joke, I can’t be stopped. Like nope, Like nope

2 seats in the 911 No limit on the black card. Told yall I was gonna go HAM, To the ocean was my backyard. No lies in my verses, Please pardon all the curses. Middle finger to my old life, Special shout out to my old head, If it wasn’t for your advice, A ni**a would have been so dead. I’m living life, Til these niggas kill me. Pabalo Picasso, Rothkos, Rilkes. Graduated to the MOMA. And I did all of this, Without a diploma, Graduated from the corner. Y’all can play me. Street smart, And I’m book smart. Could have been a chemist, Cause I cook smart. Only thing that can stop me is me, And I’mma stop when the hook start

“Why I Love You” and of course the classic “Otis”…the lyrics are SICK! That’s coz I’m more of a lyricist (what happens when your all-time favorite EmCee is Notorious B.I.G.)

Despite rumours that the two hip-hop/rap heavy weights Jay-Z and Kanye are barely speaking to each other due to business disagreements, Kanye and Jay celebrated their collab album “Watch the throne” which is due for release soon.

So clearly the two are not beefing, Kanye and Jay were all smiles as they were joined by a selected few media and industry expects to listen to “Watch the throne”.

Mrs Carter was there to support her man.

And so was Kelly…

Solange Knowels also steeped in to show her brother in-law support

Jada Smith was all black errthang

Busta Rhymes also attended the cosy do..

From what I heard already from this album, Jay-Z and Kanye are going to be the talk of town for a very long time. I think they are two of the most admired/respected artists and “Watch the throne” is by far one of the most anticipated collab album of 2011 (ayeye Weezy/Young Money).

From your girl Allegro Dinkwanyane- “I’m just saying”, so have your say…

ARE YOU READY FOR “WATCH THE THRONE”???

Happy Thank God Its Friday!

.

Trying to break my heart and step on it.

I picked up the pieces before you swept on it.

G*dd*am this sh*t leaves a mess, don’t it.

Feeling like xxx, don’t it.

Charge it to the game, whatever it left on it.

I spent about a minute, maybe less on it.

Fly pelican fly. Turn the jets on it.

For the trillionth time/like tourettes on it

Wasn’t I good king?

- Jay Z

I read Decoded by Jay Z one Sunday afternoon earlier this year and I was thoroughly inspired by the man behind the music. Jay Z‘s approach to music, rap is unparalleled. Like I am a Biggie fan forever [despite some of his lyrics being alot on the dark-side *sad face*]. Period. Jay Z comes close….now. Kanye West is equally out there with his.

I made Jesus Walks, so never going to hell

Couture level flow is never going on sale

Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses

Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive

I get it custom, you a customer

You ain’t accustomed to going through customs, you ain’t been nowhere, hah?

And all the ladies in the house got them showing off

I’m done I’ll hit you up manyana!

- Kanye West “Otis”

Jay & ‘Ye dropped their super hot joint “Otis” earlier this week as a fore-taste of their upcoming highly anticipated album, “Watch The Throne” which drops August 1st! [hip hop fans engrave that on your calendars, it's that real!]

Today, newly released mini-documentary showing the behind-the-scenes creative process that the two artists undergo for their highly anticipated forthcoming joint album, ‘Watch The Throne.’ Mostly shot in Australia, actor, Russell Crowe makes a cameo appearance during one of the “rap sessions” and of course, Beyonce appears on there too….

Check out the video of Watch The Throne:
