Jigga 4 President
The Presidential election season is in full swing. When Bill Maher compared Mitt Romney to rich rappers, I thought that some of the rappers he mentioned would actually make good Presidents. Rappers are much more socially conscious than any of these guys running for President, especially Mitt. But, when people start to dig into rappers past is when we run into a wall. There is also a bunch of stereotypes that don’t help rappers out. Old folks vote too you know. After the jump I’ve listed some of the most successful rappers/entrepreneurs with the best chances of being called the President of the United States.
Jay Z’ 40/40 Club Momentarily Shut Down For Health Violations
Billionaire Warren Buffet big pimpin’ at the reopening of the 40/40
The NY Post is reporting that Jay-Z’ 40/40 Club was shut down just a day after it’s grand re-opening. The NY Health Department shut down the club for various health code violations that included, inadequate refrigerator temperature, and mixing salsa with bare hands. The 40/40 scored a 69 on their inspection. A score of 28 or more is downgraded to a “C” grade.
But, a rep for the club informed TMZ that a broken refrigerator led to the shut down. According to the rep, the refrigerator broke down moments before the Health Inspector walked in the door, which would explain the high refrigerator temperature. Staff fixed the problem, and the club was allowed to re-open. The club lost no business, but their health code grade is still under review.

Blue Ivy Becomes Youngest Person To Appear On Billboard
They say records are meant to be broken, but good luck trying to break this record. Blue Ivy Carter has become the youngest person to ever appear on a Billboard chart. This comes just days after her birth on January 7, 2011. “Glory” comes in at #74. The old record was held by 5 year old Jordy with “Dur Dur D’Etre Bebe! (It’s Tough To Be A Baby!)”. It’s interesting to point out that “Glory” is Jay Z’s 107th entry on the chart, B.I.C.’s birth date? 1/07. That shit cray. Once again, congrats to the entire Carter-Knowles family.

What To Expect In 2012: Albums/Mixtapes
We’re already in 2012, and I still haven’t listened to all of the mixtapes that came out on 11-1-11. Last year was filled with lots of music for almost everyone’s tastes. My favorite part of the year was when The Throne just dropped their album on us, and everybody was listening to Watch The Throne at the same time. That was cray! Hopefully they follow up with a part 2. We had major albums from just about every big rapper in the game: Bad Meets Evil, Tha Carter IV, Cole World, The RED Album, Section.80, Goblin, Take Care, Rolling Papers, Finally Famous, Camp, Self Made Vol. 1, All 6′s and 7′s, TM 103, The Dreamer/ The Believer, Ambition, and undun. Damn, what a year! Seems like everybody was dropping albums except Dr. Dre. 2011 was a solid year for music, let’s see what 2012 brings.
Beyonce Gives Birth To A Baby Girl Called Blue Ivy Carter
Beyonce and Jay-Z welcomed their first child on Saturday night called Blue Ivy Carter.
Beyonce gave birth at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York via C-Section and is reported to be doing fine. Their good friend Russell Simmons was one of the first to break the news on his twitter.
The name Ivy is thought to come from “IV” — the Roman numeral for four which is phonetically spelled out as “Ivy”. The number 4 is a common theme for the couple. They were secretly wed on April 4, 2008 (04/04/08), each has a birthday on the 4th (Beyonce on Sept. 4, Jay-Z on Dec .4). Beyonce’s fourth studio album was called 4. Blue is also reported to be Jay-Z’s favourite colour and has significance via his Blueprint trilogy of albums. Source Poprush.
