Jay-Z opens up about parenthood on "Glory," released Monday, a day and a half after the birth of his and Beyoncé's first child, Blue Ivy Carter. On the song that features Blue, credited as B.I.C.,
crying, Jay-Z raps about his excitement about her arrival, where she was conceived, and grief over a miscarriage.
The song premiered on Jay-Z's Life + Times site.
Over the ballad produced by Pharrell, Jay-Z reacts to Blue's birth. "The most amazing feeling I feel, words can't describe what I'm feeling for real," he raps.
HEAR "Glory" f/ B.I.C.:
Throughout the song, Jay discusses Blue dancing for Beyoncé, God granting his wish for a child, and plans to spoil her rotten. He gushes that he would paint the sky blue and notes that "The most beautifullest thing in this world is daddy's little girl."

Though Jay and Beyoncé are generally very private about their relationship, he revealed the city in which Blue was conceived.
"You don't yet know what's swagger, but you was made in Paris," Jay raps. "Mom woke up the next day and shot her album package."
The reflective song also offered moments of sadness when Jay referenced the loss of his own father and another child. In the poetic letter to Blue, Jay says his father, who "deep down was a good man," died of liver failure.
However, Jay's most shocking admission is that the famous couple previously had an unsuccessful attempt to bear another child. The topic comes up in the first and last verses of the song.
In the first mention, Jay talks about "false alarms and false starts." He describes the anguish he and Beyoncé felt. "All of the pain of the last time, prayed so hard it was the last time."
But Jay got very specific closer to the song's end, rhyming, "Last time the miscarriage was so tragic, we was afraid you'd disappear, but, nah, baby you magic."
Last August, Jay and Kanye released "New Day," a pledge to someday be good fathers.
Jay-Z and Kanye West recognized for writing about fatherhood
Beyoncé and Jay-Z released a statement about Blue Monday. "Her birth was emotional and extremely peaceful, we are in heaven," they said in the statement. "She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 lbs and it was the best experience of both of our lives. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support."

Rihanna gets 'Tupac'-inspired tattoo
Rihanna gets 'Tupac'-inspired tattoo? Photo shows 'Thug Life' on her knuckles Get more: Rihanna, Celeb Lives 01/25/2012 by Corinne Heller http://www.ontheredcarpet.com/Rihanna-gets-Tupac-inspired-tattoo--Photo-shows-Thug-Life-on-her-knuckles/8518737&rss=rss-wabc-ent_story-8518737
Did Rihanna get a tattoo inspired by the slain rapper Tupac Shakur? Related News Photos: Rihanna appears in the music video 'Only Girl In the World'. (Photo courtesy of Def Jam) Rihanna, 15 fun facts Stories:
Rihanna curses out Dutch magazine editor for racial slur Rihanna's new album 'Talk That Talk' is raunchy - see track listing, song details Rihanna: I'm not necessarily happy being single
Early on Wednesday, the 23-year-old R&B and pop star Tweeted a photo of herself showing off a faint, scar-like, pink-colored imprint of the phrase "Thug Life" on her knuckles (pictured above). It is the name of the former group of Shakur, who also went by the nickname 2Pac and sported a tattoo on his stomach that read "T.H.U.G. L.I.F.E." He was shot dead at age 25 in 1996. The killer was never found.
Rihanna's picture was taken at the Shamrock Social Club in Hollywood, the tattoo parlor of Mark Mahoney, who also appears in a photo posted by Rihanna.
"All these bitches screaming that 2pac back #THUGLIFE," Rihanna said in a message underneath her photo, quoting a line from the song "Tupac Back," which was released by rappers Rick Ross and Meek Mill in mid-June 2011 on what would have been Shakur's 40th birthday.
The late rapper's "Thug Life" tattoo stood for "The Hate U Give Little Infants (Expletive) Everybody." Like him, Rihanna has several tattoos all over her body, including on her neck, wrist and back.
In another photo posted on her Twitter page around the same time, the singer is seen lying on her stomach on a table, holding a beer bottle, as a man bends over her back. His face is not shown. Rihanna wrote under the picture: "Tat my (expletive) name on u girl so I know its real!!! #MINE"
The sentence is a lyric from "Free Spirit," a song released last year by hip hop singer Drake, Rihanna's longtime friend and collaborator, that also features Ross.
I #LOVE my new tattoo!!!" she Tweeted. "Can't wait for yall to see it!!! I got it in "Tibetan" this time!!!"
Rihanna also posted a photo of herself at the tattoo parlor with "Grindhouse" actor Danny Trejo and later Tweeted: "I'm thinking I shoulda got a tear drop instead!!! #THUGLIFE maybe next time."

D12 Rapper Bizarre Gets A Tattoo Of Nicki Minaj
By William E. Ketchum III
Bizarre has always turned heads with his over-the-top lyrics (and for wearing a shower cap in music videos and photo shoots), but he made a more permanent statement this week. Less than a month after he confessed his obsession for Nicki Minaj in a RapFix interview and a music video entitled “Hey Nicki,” he got a tattoo of the Young Money bombshell inked on his left bicep.
D12's Bizarre Professes Love For Nicki Minaj In 'Hey Nicki'
“Check this out, Nicki. I did this for you, and only you. Here goes the world exclusive, this is how much I love you,” he said, while referencing to Nicki as his wife and himself as her husband. “And I will eat your p----, for life.” The video then switches to a shirtless Bizarre, sitting in a filled bathtub and wearing a curly pink wig and sunglasses. “Taking a nice little bubble bath, thinking about you,” he continued. “2012, that’s our year.”
In the next scene, Bizarre shows the finished tattoo on his arm, and footage of his tattoo artist Brooklyn Payne using a photograph of Nicki to ink the design. Bizarre tweeted and says “#weirdomovement” several times in the video, and he certainly fits the bill.
Bizarre is most known as a standout member of D12, the Eminem-led group whose debut album D12 World gave Shady Records a platinum plaque in the early 2000s. The group has been a lot less visible since the 2006 shooting death of prominent member Proof, but they managed to release a mixtape in April entitled Return of the Dozen. Bizarre told RapFix that the next D12 album will hit stores in 2012, and his own mixtape, Life As A Backup Dancer For Hammer, is slated for a January release. Posted by MTV News in Music News

Just How High Was Kid Cudi On 106 & Park? [VIDEO]
Kid Cudi stopped by BET’s 106 & Park yesterday to promote his new album, Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager which just hit stores.
But something seemed off with the Cudster…
He didn’t seem too interested in being interviewed by hosts Terence & Ciara, and his mannerisms seemed like he’d probably been up to his old habits before he walked out for the interview.

Police: Kat Stacks Has A 90% Chance Of Being Deported
When Kat Stacks was arrested this past Friday, there was a nearly audible sigh of relief in the hip-hop industry.
The controversial Venezuelan was arrested by officials in Nashville, TN under an immigration hold.
Vibe talked with authorities at the Nashville Criminal Justice Center who said that Kat has a 90% chance of being deported back to Venezuela this week.
“She didn’t get arrested for a state charge, so she must’ve missed an immigration court date in the past. Once that happens, they start looking for you, and once they got you… it’s a wrap,” Miss Pugh, a police assistant at Nashville’s CJC, told Vibe.
Kat is currently being held without bail at the Nashville Correctional Development Center For Females.
