New Profile: Jay-Z

How well do you know the Jiggaman? Whether you're a fan of his music or an admirer of his legacy, the life and times of Shawn C. Carter makes for an exciting read. From his much-publicized beef with Nas to their highly-praised reconciliation, Jay-Z has been one of the most heralded trendsetters in hip-hop history. Case in point, most hip-hoppers threw their throwback jerseys out the window when Jay decided to "Change Clothes" on the Black Album's "What More Can I Say" ("I don't wear jerseys, n****a button-up's"). Check out Jay-Z's profile to find out how he went from a street hustler to el presidente of Def Jam Records.
