Jay-Z

Beyonce definitely went the extra mile for her show in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Monday night (Aug. 5).

As they say, the family that wears matching footwear together stays together, which means that the Carter family is in it for the long haul. Even if no one actually says that and we just made it up.

"Rap is thinking out loud," rapper Jay Z (no more hyphen) says in the trailer for 'Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film,' which premieres on Friday, Aug. 2 at 11PM ET on HBO and follows the Hov's appearance on 'Real Time With Bill Maher.' Make a mental note or calendar reminder now for a double dose of Jay this Friday.

Jay Z (formerly Jay-Z) recently lip-synced the song 'Picasso Baby' off his new album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' in a gallery for six hours straight and called it "performance art." Now you can call it something else: an HBO film entitled 'Picasso Baby: A Performance Art Film.' Bonus: Much like 'Hot Tub Time Machine' or 'Snakes on a Plane,' you immediately know what it's about.

Hip-hop and R&B's first couple, Jay-Z and Beyonce, were as adorable as ever onstage in Philadelphia this week. Hov surprised Queen Bey at the closing of her Mrs. Carter Show tour stop in the City of Brotherly Love, and it was probably the cutest thing ever.

Jay Z and Justin Timberlake kicked off their Legends of the Summer stadium tour last night (July 17) in Toronto. While it was a good time summer show, the pair still made sure to dedicate their joint encore of the concert to the murdered American teen Trayvon Martin.

Jay-Z has 99 problems, but a hyphenate ain't one.

In celebration of 'Magna Carta Holy Grail,' Jay-Z is getting illustrated.

For any pop fans who were lucky enough to be at the 2013 Yahoo! Wireless Festival, they got quite the show.

Jay-Z is a busy guy. He's got Presidents of the United States to text. He doesn't have time for Chris Brown and Rihanna's adolescent drama. And he said so quite plainly.

"Who?" That was Jay-Z's response when asked if he buried the hatchet with legendary method actor Robert De Niro. Ice cold, Iceberg!

At the time of this writing, Jay-Z is currently at New York's Pace Gallery lip-syncing 'Picasso Baby' -- a song off his new album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' -- and he has big plans to do it over and over. For six hours. You can keep your "Tilda Swinton in a box." THIS is performance art we can actually get behind.

Jay-Z had a rare but rewarding Twitter chat yesterday to answer questions about his most recent opus, 'Magna Carta Holy Grail.' Not too surprisingly, a lot of those questions centered around his Miley Cyrus shoutout in 'Somewhere in America' -- something that made Cyrus, who insists that she listens to "hood music," really proud.

Miley Cyrus has been showing off her twerking skills for quite some time now, and it looks like all of her relentless booty-shaking has finally paid off. Jay-Z gave the 20-year-old pop sensation a shout out on a song from his highly anticipated forthcoming album, ‘Magna Carta Holy Grail’ — and he was sure to mention her dance moves.

Jay-Z isn't easily amused, but one thing in particular made the 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' rapper chuckle: Miley Cyrus' adorably Caucasian attempts at twerking.

You love Jay-Z. We love Jay-Z. Beyonce loves Jay-Z. Most sane people can’t help but love Jay-Z. And this video illustrates exactly why.
