A musical guide to Valentines Day

A musical guide to Valentine’s Day

Eli Cost, features writer February 12, 2013

If you do only one thing to prepare for Valentine's Day, don't make it buying gifts. Don't make it writing cute, gushy cards. And for the love of God, don't—DON'T—make it planning a grand (read: stupid)...

7. Jay-Z - Multiple projects Jay-Z doesnt have to drop another solo album. He could go into early retirement, focus on his new daughter, his wife, and the recently relocated Brooklyn Nets (he played a significant role in the teams rebranding). After all, he just finished a massively successful international tour for Watch The Throne, which must have been exhausting. But if we had to take guess, chances are a new solo record is just around the corner. It has been more than three years since Jays last one-man show The Blueprint 3 (not counting last years Live In Brooklyn), a trilogy-capper which brought us one of Hovs greatest tracks ever (the Alicia Keys-assisted Empire State of Mind). Producer Pharrell Williams has hinted at an upcoming collaboration, and rumors have begun to arise that in addition to completing the sequel to Watch The Throne with Kanye West, Beyoncés husband will treat his fans even more this year. If such rumors are to be believed, it may be time for the hip-hop world to prepare for the return of the King.
