I heard through the grapevine....

I was reading some Jay-Z article; and he said that for his supposed final album, titled "The Black Album" I think, he wants Prince to do a guest appearance. Jay-Z had Michael Jackson on one of his albums he said; and now he wants Prince to be on his last album. Do ya'll think that Prince would do a song with Jay-Z; and, if so, what would it be about? In my opinion, the only song Jay-Z sings that fits into my idea of Prince (old Prince anyway) is "Girls, Girls, Girls".

What type of song could Jay and P possibly do together? Sorry, but I don't see this collaboration happening. Jay is about blingin', platinum albums, and Number 1 singles; Prince now is about Bible study, preaching, and net-only releases. Plus, Jay seems like a perfectionist and control freak, when it comes to his music; and we all know that Prince is definitely on that same level. Who would be in charge? It may be Jay's album; but for how long? So, what's everyone's thoughts on this subject?

I think it could work. Even though he isnt a looker Jay Z is so cool & laid back. I'd like to see what they would do with it!

I think that idea got scrapped.

Yes, Beyonce sang and butchered those lyrics in "'03 Bonnie & Clyde". hmph! TLC sang it soo much better IMO. worship

You ain't lying about that one. I hope Beyonce likes him for his personality; because Jay ain't much to look at.
