"Welcome to the neighborhood," says the message that greets visitors when they land on Myspace's homepage.
The former social media giant launched its new mobile app earlier this month, after a period of tweaking its site and perhaps realizing its purpose. While once the top dog in the game, this king isn't necessarily coming back for the throne. And those behind Myspace's resurrection are totally OK with that.
JAY Z is certainly playing by those "new rules" he's been referencing since the announcement of his new record, Magna Carta Holy Grail. The rapper creatively revealed the tracklist for the new album in the form of a scavenger hunt, coordinated by his publicist, who tweeted hints on Saturday that directed fans to a location where books could be found containing the titles of each of the 13 tracks on the album.
Since JAY Z's announcement that he is releasing a new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, next month, many questions have arisen. The big one, however, is whether the rapper has a platinum album before even releasing it. One million copies are being given to fans with specific Samsung mobile devices, and Mr. Carter's camp says those should count as album sales because Samsung purchased them for a reportedly $5 per record. Billboard said on Friday that despite a "passionate and articulate argument by Jay's team," those copies will not be included on the charts as sales.
