Jay-Z’s much-hyped new album, The Blueprint 3, will be released today, Sept. 8.
This will mark Hova’s (the name that rapper,Jay-Z calls himself since he considers himself the “God” of rap) third album following his alleged retirement in 2003 and the third installment in his critically-revered Blueprint series. The Sept. 11 release was originally planned to fall eight years to the day following the 2001 release of Blueprint.
The album, produced by Kanye West, will feature the already chart-topping single “Run This Town” with West and Rihanna. It hit number one in the UK Singles Chart this week, marking Jay’s first UK single in the top spot, according to MTV UK. Clearly he has won over the oft-pop-dominated UK music world, as he is scheduled to support Coldplay at their Wembley Stadium show later this month.

That’s right. One Dollar! O-N-E effin dollar! Wait, Did I say ONE dollar? Just checkin.
Last-minute tickets to big acts like Coldplay and Bruce Springsteen are as little as $1! At least the bad economy has brought something good to music lovers. According to eBay Inc’s StubHub, the leading Internet ticket re-seller, last-minute concert ticket sales at sharply lower prices are on the rise for acts like Paul McCartney, Springsteen, Jonas Brothers, Coldplay, and U2. But this trend of lower resale ticket pricing is very variable. It’s almost like a stock market and a barometer for pricing city by city.
Pate said fans have already purchased tickets as low as $1 for Springsteen and Coldplay, $9 for Kenny Chesney and $10 for the Jonas Brothers this season, with tickets listing for as low as $16 for upcoming McCartney shows this weekend in Maryland.
