Jay-Z Blog "Life+Times"



So you've read "Decoded," listened to all his albums back to back, and you still need a more regular helping for your Jay-Z fix.  Being the business man that he is, Jay-Z got the remedy for you with his "Life + Times" blog (http://lifeandtimes.com/), named after his album trilogy "The Life and Times of S. Carter." Similar to Kanye's blog, he showcases what interest him.  However, unlike many blogs its somewhat of an online magazine, with articles pertaining to what he likes, like this interview with RIM Blackberry. I also love how the Twitter feed is called "Tweets is Watching," a play off of the Jay-Z movie "Streets Is Watching." According to this MTV.com article, here are 5 things you need to know about his blog.

"1.) He's the Black Swan! JK JK JK, but Hova definitely loves Belgian hat designer Christophe Coppens, one of whose pieces is definitely reminiscent of Natalie Portman's possessed ballerina.
2.)  His thumbs are agile, considering he eschews other, more popular touch-screen smartphones for the RIM BlackBerry
3.)  Ooh la la! Jay-Z looks to France for inspiration when it comes to hip-hop, particularly in Parisian "beatmaker" Onra.
4.) Jay-Z likes to watch boxing matches: He's specifically keeping an eye on upcoming Miami-based fighter Andre Berto.
5.) He doesn't take shaving lightly, considering he's endorsing a shaving kit for men priced at more than $1,000."
