Jay-Z sues David Ortiz over club name

NEW YORK -- Jay-Z and a business partner are suing slugger David Ortiz, claiming the Boston Red Sox star named his Dominican nightclub after the mogul's chain of 40/40 clubs. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Manhattan Federal Court, accuses Ortiz of calling his Santo Domingo club Forty-Forty in the hopes of trading on the rap star's fame.

The suit seeks over $5 million in damages and for Ortiz to forfeit any use of the 40/40 name. Jay-Z's string of bars can be found in Manhattan, Las Vegas and Atlantic City.

"David Ortiz is fully aware of Plaintiff's Manhattan 40/40 club, since he had been a patron there on several occasions before he opened his Infringing Forty/Forty club," the lawsuit states.

Simple explanation here: Jay-Z is a diehard Yankees fan. He sees that David Ortiz has been struggling (both at the plate and with the media), and now he is kicking Big Papi while he’s down. Fucking ass hole. Like David Ortiz really needs this on his plate, he’s already got the pressure and the watchful eye of the entire city of Boston on him. Jay-Z doesn’t need $5 million. The man’s already got plenty of cash, not to mention he’s banging Beyonce. This has to be solely about fucking with the Red Sox, right? Either that or Jay is just bored.

We all know Jay-Z is the cockiest son-of-a-bitch around. (Shit, I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can). But I think he is overvaluing his own significance in this situation. I guarantee David Ortiz is a bigger name in the Dominican Republic than Jay-Z. Big Papi is a hero to those people. He doesn’t need to use Jay-Z’s fame and/or name to get people to go to his club. So I’m going to go under the assumption that this whole naming thing is just a coincidence.

Regardless of what happens with this lawsuit: Fuck you, Jay-Z.

Jermaine drops a verse over Jay's ol' classic, "Ignorant Shit". God damn I can't wait for his album to drop.

Granite State of Mind

Just got tipped off on this Jay Z parody video of Empire State of Mind. We've posted past parodies of Jay Z's Empire State of Mind and want to know what the freshy followers think of this one. Vote 1 star if you hate NH more after this video of 5 stars if you now want to move there.

PS- How long do you think it took this guy to make this video anyway? He basically sums up NH in a nutshell, but normally a parody comes out a few days or weeks after the single drops. Not months. Typical NH resident, behind the eight-ball on everything!

Wale Debates Skip Bayless on ESPN's First Take (Is Jay-Z the Greatest Rapper Ever?)

We’ve all heard Wale toss out all kinds of sick lyrics referencing sports, so it should come as no surprise that he killed it on ESPN’s First Take yesterday morning. Wale debated ESPN’s biggest jackass, Skip Bayless, on topics ranging from Kobe and LeBron to Tim Tebow. The highlight of the show came at the end, however, when the pair discussed the question: Is Jay-Z the greatest rapper of all time? Check out the video above.

It’s pretty funny watching Skip pretending like he has any idea what’s going on in the rap game. Jay-Z as the greatest lyricist of all-time, but a bad performer? I would think, if anything, it’d be the other way around, no?

(What do you think? Is Jay-Z the greatest of all time? Feel free to debate in the comments section).
