This is probably the most anticipated video off of Kanye West’s ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ album and for good reason.

Any track featuring Nicki Minaj, Yeezy and Jay-Z is bound to be a hot one.  Nicki more that holds her own against two of hip hop's titans

The video is clearly not the finished version, but it will do until that drops in the next week or so.

"Where my ring? Knew you had it cause you took too long as Micky, Annie and the girl who bought it looked on. Huffing and puffing, gun in my hand told you to step outside. Hoping you said no, but you hurt my pride. Made our way down the steps, maybe you thought it was just a threat. Or maybe your life was just that crazy and you was begging for death. Tried to justify this in my young mind, but the adrenaline and my ego hurt combined drove me berserk. Saw the devil in your eyes, high off more than weed, confused, I just closed my young eyes and squeezed. What a sound, opened my eyes just in time to see you stumbling to the ground. Damn, what I done now?" Jay-Z "You Must Love Me" I remember the the first time I heard Jay-Z's song "You Must Love Me." A joint that describes several incidents he was involved in as a youth, that he later came to regret. Acts Such as selling crack to his own mother, using a young girl as a mule to carry cocaine (she gets popped by the police), and shooting his own brother. I often wondered if any of it was true or just typical rap boasting from Hov, trying to add "realness" to the song. In an interview with the UK Guardian, Jay-Z admits at least one of the scenarios is %100 fact. At the age of 12, he shot his crack addicted older brother over a stolen ring. "I thought my life was over. I thought I'd go to jail for ever." Hov said "It was terrible. I was a boy, a child. I was terrified." Luckily the bullet hit his brother in the shoulder and wasn't a life threatening wound. When Hov visited him in the hospital, his brother apologized for stealing the ring and didn't press charges against him. In the interview Jay goes on to describe how prevalent guns were at that time in his neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. A problem that has only gotten worse in every hood across America. "Guns were everywhere. You didn't have to go far to get one. Just everywhere," he said. "Guns were around every day. There were shootouts, but I never shot anyone else. Most people in shootouts don't get shot." Jigga claims he was shot at three times, but never hit. "It's like there was some rogue angel watching over us," he said.

Videos After The Jump The Hottest MC's In The Game list, voted on by MTV is completed. Was there ever any doubt as to who would be number one? Coming in at # 1 is Eminem Eminem has dominated hip hop this year. His 'Recovery' album shot out the gate, selling 741,000 copies it's first week out, and is almost at 3 million copies sold in the U.S. alone. At one point the album had an incredible 7 songs on Billboards Hot 100 Singles chart. With "25 To Life" # 92, "Talkin To Myself" # 88, "Cold Wind Blows" # 71, "Won't Back Down" # 62, "No Love" # 23, "Not Afraid" # 11 and "Love The Way You Lie" at # 2. The Rihanna assisted "Love The Way You Lie" has dominated pop radio, spending four weeks in Billboards top slot. Eminem also participated in what some have called the greatest hip hop concerts in history when he and Jay-Z paired up for the Home and Home shows at Detroit's Comerica Park and New York's Yankee Stadium. The concerts featured guests 50 Cent, Dr Dre, D12, Trick Trick, Young Jeezy, Drake, Memphis Bleek as well as B.o.B., Kanye West and Beyonce. Proving that rap artists cauld sell out stadiums. Coming in at # 2 is Jay-Z Jigga simply shows no signs of slowing down. The Brooklyn rapper didn't have an album out in 2010, but he rode the success of 2009's 'Blueprint 3', selling out concerts worldwide. He is regularly headlining shows that have traditionally been the sole territory of rock acts. In November Hov is slated to open for U2 for the Australia and New Zealand legs on their 360 tour. Add to that the success of the Home and Home concerts with Eminem, and it's easy to see why Jigga got the # 2 slot. Coming in at # 3 is Kanye West. West has really enjoyed a stellar 2010. In what has been a big comeback year for the Chicago rapper, following a 2009 that saw a lot of the media and some fans turn their backs on him after the Taylor Swift VMA incident. While he doesn't have a chart topping song at the moment, Kanye has put out a number of fantastic joints via his G.O.O.D Friday campaign. He's also released two groundbreaking videos with "Power" and the short film "Runaway." Add to that his great live performances at the BET Awards and Saturday Night Live. West has proven why he is amongst the elite the game has to offer. With a new album, 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' about to drop next month, 2010 will only get better for the Louis Vuitton Don. Coming in at # 4 is Drake Young Money has been very well represented on the Hottest MC's list this time around. Drake is the third emcee from the camp to make the list, following Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj. His debut album 'Thank Me Later' debuted at # 1 with 447,000 copies sold, and is closing in on platinum status. Three songs from the disc, "Over", "Miss Me" and "Find Your Love" have achieved top 15 recognition on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The sky seems to be the limit for Drake as an artist. He is able to pull off the rare feat of making both R&B and Hip Hop joints, while keeping both audiences satisfied. Coming in at # 5 is Officer Rick Ross. Congrats to all the artists who made the list. twitter-5d.gif

Video After The Jump They say old grudges never really die. That seems to be true in the case of Dipset and their old label mates at Roc-A-Fella Records, Kanye West and Jay-Z. Killa Cam and Jim Jones released a twitvideo of a track they're working on. There's only a couple of snippets, but you can hear exactly who they are aiming at as Cam'ron spits over Kanye's new track "Runaway". "Kanye you a sucka n*gga/dissed Dame so my attitude, f*ck the n*gga/suck a Jigga how you gon live with that?/Took the beat, now come get it back." Is this the start of Dipset vs Hov round 2? Part 1 (Kanye Diss) Part 2 twitter-5d.gif

Video After The Jump

What clown said hip hip was dead? You can't kill an art form that's driven from the energy and love that's put into it by both the artists and the fans,

No doubt there are going to be times fads pass through hip hop like mohawks and skinny jeans, but at the end of the day talented spittas and producers will bring back that real sh*t.

I typed all that just to publicly admit I've been sleeping on J.Cole. You know, he was Jay-Z's 1st on Roc Nation artist, blah blah. It kind of went in one ear and out of the other.

But I've recently realized the error of my ways. The man is the truth and a big part a rap's future.

On Friday (July 16) Cole came to Philadelphia as part of the Heineken Inspire tour. The show also featured legendary turntable King Jazzy Jeff and R&B songstress Marshia Ambrosius.

Cole did his thing and paid respect to Philly by bringing out Freeway for a couple songs.

It was very interesting hearing and see the old Roc-A-Fella on the same stage with Jay-Z's new Roc Nation MC.

We get to see J.Cole perform "Last Call" before he brings Freeway out to perform "Roc The Mic" and "Who We Are"
