Says Jay-Z:

“The Great Gatsby is that classic American story of one’s introduction to extravagance, decadence and illusion. It’s ripe for experimentation and ready to be interpreted with a modern twist. The imagination Baz brought to ‘Moulin Rouge!’ made it a masterpiece, and ‘Romeo + Juliet’s’ score wasn’t just in the background; the music became a character. This film’s vision and direction has all the makings of an epic experience”

Check out the track list below. The soundtrack will hit stores on May 7 via Interscope with Target selling a 17 song deluxe edition.

1. 100$ Bill – JAY Z
2. Back To Black – Beyoncé x André 3000
3. Bang Bang – will.i.am
4. A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got) – Fergie + Q Tip + GoonRock
5. Young And Beautiful – Lana Del Rey
6. Love Is The Drug – Bryan Ferry with The Bryan Ferry Orchestra

10. Together – The xx
11. Hearts A Mess – Gotye
12. Love Is Blindness – Jack White

Students Boycott Tyga’s Scheduled Appearance For Harvard University Concert

Tyga-Concert-Pic-20

When the hell did college students become so conservative?

The current asshole today is Leah Reis-Dennis — a senior at Harvard University — who apparently feels that her school’s annual Yardfest could do a lot better than Tyga. She has created a petition that has picked up some steam, which you can check out below:

It should be noted that Harvard’s Yardfest has already hosted acts like Kid CuDi, Wale & Wu-Tang Clan. Maybe Miss Reis-Dennis would much rather perform at the concert herself.

A pretty nicely remodeled apartment that was once the home of a kid Christopher Wallace is asking for a selling price of over 700 grand, boasting hardwood floors, granite countertops and everything that would sound great for a city space in Brooklyn. The listing agent — Judith Lief — spoke on the sale:

“The tour buses that come by regularly are enough…I don’t really know yet what impact, if any, [Biggie’s looming presence] will have on the sale. I think it’ll be notable, but I don’t know if novelty translates to a purchase.”

If you’re interested, you can check out the full listing with pics here.

While on L.A.’s Power 106, Cudi announced that he is no longer associated with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music. His reasoning seemed to be that he simply wanted to focus on himself, his artist King Chip and his label Wicked Awesome Records. As of now, he is still under Universal Republic.

Wiz Khalifa Sues Promoter Over Cancelled George Mason University Concert

April 1, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

From TMZ:

Wiz filed the case against concert promoter It’s My Party, Inc., claiming the company booked the rapper to perform at George Mason University and pulled the plug at the last minute.

According to the suit … It’s My Party promised Wiz $85,000, plus a cut of the profits, but never paid. Now Wiz wants a cool million, claiming the cancellation seriously damaged his reputation — seriously.

It’s My Party has fired back, claiming Wiz is blowing smoke … ticket sales for the 7,000-seat arena tanked, plus the company never signed on the dotted line so it’s not obligated to pay anything.

L.A. County Seeks To Prosecute Justin Bieber

April 1, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

jb-532_1543217a

Putting the words “Justin Bieber” and “prosecuted” is newsworthy enough, in my opinion. Money, fame and being around people that have actually lived an unsheltered life can lead anyone down the wrong path. From TMZ:

Sheriff’s investigators will refer the case to the L.A. County District Attorney for review after the investigation is completed, and the Dept. will recommend that criminal battery charges be filed against the singer.

Officially, the Sheriff’s Dept. will say they have no recommendation yet because the investigation is not complete. However, our sources say a clear picture has already emerged, and not just over the alleged spitting incident.

We’re told members of the Dept. believe it’s relevant Bieber has shown a pattern of disregard for the law, including speeding tickets, fights, threats, reckless driving, drugs and more.

Law enforcement sources say it’s a cookie-cutter situation they’ve seen before — small crimes that escalate over time to serious criminal conduct.

Now the lil twist … whether Justin is prosecuted or not, people in the Sheriff’s Dept. believe he needs professional help to manage his anger and behavior. And they say, it has nothing to do with the fact that he’s famous — anyone going down a “dangerous path” needs serious professional help.

Erykah Badu Tweets About How Old Her Feature On Papoose’s ‘The Nacirema Dream’ Is

March 31, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments

Obviously we all know that Papoose was Saigon’ed as it pertains to the time it took to get The Nacirema Dream on somebody’s shelf, so it’s of no surprise that the material is probably dated to some degree (even if it doesn’t sound like it, which is debatable). On the project is a track called ‘The Cure‘ which featured Erykah Badu, and she took to Twitter to speak on the song…

Word On The Street Is That Justin Timberlake Was Forced To Make ’20/20′ To Satisfy A $20 Million Debt…

March 30, 2013 JUKEBOXDC Staff News No Comments  

DIRECTV Super Saturday Night Featuring Special Guest Justin Timberlake & Co-Hosted By Mark Cuban's AXS TV

It looks like Kanye may have been acting all weird about Jay-Z’s buddy for a reason……first, a little history between JT and entertainment giant Live Nation, taken from the Hollywood Reporter:

In 2008, the concert industry giant entered the business of Timberlake when it acquired Signatures, a leading merchandising company that counts the pop star among its exclusive licenses. Months later, it announced a multiyear agreement to feature 901, the premium tequila brand Timberlake launched, as the official tequila of Live Nation venues.

According to multiple sources, a 2009 partnership with Timberlake, structured after Jay-Z’s game-changing $150 million Live Nation 360 deal and Timberlake’s AEG-promoted, $126 million-grossing 2007 FutureSex/LoveShow tour, was quid pro quo for a touring commitment to Live Nation. In exchange, Timberlake received about $20 million — $5 million of it free and clear, or “a gimme,” as one insider describes it.

Apparently, the issue was that Justin Timberlake then decided to take a hiatus, one that made Live Nation nervous enough that when 2013 came rolling around, Live Nation decided to call in on that loan, requested that the tour be fulfilled. So Justin Timberlake then put together this project with Timbaland in 20 days (so they say), and with this Legends of the Summer tour with Jay-Z about to be in effect, it looks like the debt will be more than satisfied.

To read the full breakdown, head over to Hollywood Reporter.
