On the same day I announced my triumphant return to the blogosphere, the king of hip-hop, Jay-z, announced his return to the mic. After forays into politics (the UN) and corporate america (president of Def Jam), it's about time. Here's an excerpt from the Entertainment Weekly article that broke the news.
This fall Jay-Z will release a new CD, Kingdom Come? ''It was the worst retirement, maybe, in history,'' he admits. And then he launches into an impromptu a cappella preview of the title track, which was inspired by a 1996 comic in which Superman comes out of retirement to save the world. The lyrics that effortlessly roll off his tongue may help explain his return: ''Take off the blazer/Loosen up the tie/Step inside the booth/Superman is alive!''
