WatchJay-Z - D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)
Slick new video from HOVA featuring Harvey Keitel and LeBron James, directed by Anthony Mandler (the Killers, Beyonce). From his forthcoming LP The Blueprint 3. The bushy hair’s a good look for Jay. I like it.

Over the past couple of years, the Virgin Mobile Festival has reigned as one of America’s biggest multi-day music festivals. Last year, the Virgin people brought Bob Dylan and Lil Wayne to the same venue on the same day, which is some kind of achievement.
