This is funny.....people who know's jay-Z is a rapper, goes to listens to some of the lyrics of the song and then complain about the lyrics. Man, can we say not smart?

Mr. Collicott, I agree. I was just perusing some of Mr. Z's lyrics. They could not be posted here. If racism, obscenity, incitement to violence, and puerile cursing are what pass for talent, this "star" certainly is full of it. Once annarbor.com is done shamelessly promoting this spectacle, I (don't, actually) look forward to their also reporting the inevitable result of our community hosting something like this; things like "2 men shot near Rexall Place after Jay-Z concert"...

Try Smokehouse Blues on Washtenaw, just west of Golfside. Their Bar-B-Q Chicken nachos are great.

With the vulgar language in Tweets and album track list, not only do I feel like I've stumbled upon some schoolgirl's MySpace page, but AnnArbor.com is now NSFW (Not Safe For Work).
