On The Heels Of Jay-Z - While the internet and news was buzzing about Jay-Z's song "Open Letter," Kanye took to Twitter to say that he's glad Jay-Z is bringing real hip hop back and then said that he and Pusha were going to do the same thing. A few minutes later "Numbers On The Board" dropped. Although it felt like a contrived release, it was still amazing and will rock the summer.(Photo: GOOD MUSIC)

Classic Can - After Rick Ross rapped about date rape and apologized for the lyrics being misunderstood instead of the fact that his lyric was insensitive and offensive a lot of eyebrows were raised. Eventually Reebok got the message and announced yesterday that they dropped "the bawse" for that very reason. Hopefully this is a lesson to all about the power of words.(Photo: REEBOK)

When Hov's Lyrics Go Wrong - White House press secretary Jay Carney had to deal with one reporter yesterday questining him about Jay-Z and Beyonce's travel to Cuba. The clearly frustrated press secretary let the world know that the White House had nothing to do with the trip and said "It's a song, Donovan [reporter's name]. The President did not communicate with Jay-Z over this trip." (Photo: AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
