New Jay-Z LP To Feature Empire Of The Sun? The surprising list of cameos on The Blueprint 3 apparently grows. Alongside an MGMT credit, Jay also got vocals from Luke Steele (Sleepy Jackson/Empire Of The Sun) according to The Sun. His iPod must be fascinating. (Thanks for the tip, Rebekah.)

yeah because nothing is smarter then tapping into the indie scene when your rap career is falling apart...should've stopped after the black album.

Or instead of his ipod being fascinating he just simply is making a calculated business move that will haul in more of the burgeoning hipster scene?

I doubt his ipod is any more exciting than a white collared label exec with a teenage son that hates ipods.

so cliche, jay.

Hey! Why don't u hipsters quit being freakin douchebags. I mean he's interested in the music that u like. A man that could get any artist he wants on his record and he picks indie artists. To me that's pretty cool and it helps the other artists out too. He's doing something that out of the ordinary for any rapper to do. A lot goes on behind scenes that u don't even know. a lot musicians respect each other's music while we talk trash.

MGMT *and* Empire of the Sun?

Facepaint/headdress overload if you ask me.

For some reason I want to see Jay-Z in facepaint wearing a headdress.

That should have been the album cover instead of that cluttered Secret Machines knockoff.
