The GIANT Questions
1. Is Jay-Z rushing to release this album so he can end his contract with Def Jam and start getting that Live Nation money?
2. Will the M.I.A. sample be as annoying on “Swagger Like Us Part 2″ as it was on the original?
3. Isn’t putting out an Oasis diss song kind of like kicking a bum? (Sub-question: Really?)
4. Will Eminem rap about being overweight/losing himself?
5. With two titles referencing Obama, should we expect a 16-bar cameo from MC B-Roc (or at least a speech sample)?
6. What does New York dream about when it’s asleep?
7. Will “Without Rain” address peak water?
8. What type of iPhone app will accompany this record, and will it be better than Yelp?
9. Aren’t we so over Chris Martin yet?
10. Wait, what? No “Jockin’ Jay-Z”?
