Jay Z A Sports Agent?

I guess so...or something like it.


New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, in the final season of a $57 million contract, has left agent Scott Boras to sign with a company founded by Jay-Z.
Roc Nation, an entertainment company founded by Shawn Carter, also known as Jay-Z, announced Tuesday that it is getting into the sports representation business through a partnership with Creative Artists Agency (CAA). This arm of CAA will be known as Roc Nation Sports, which simultaneously announced that its first sports client is Cano.
Cano, making $15 million this season, will be represented in baseball matters by CAA Sports' Brodie Van Wagenen.
"At this point in my career, I am ready to take a more active role in my endeavors on and off the field," Cano said in a statement. "I am confident that the pairing of Roc Nation Sports and CAA Sports will be essential in helping me accomplish my short- and long-term goals. I am making this important decision now so I can keep my focus on helping the Yankees succeed in 2013, while minimizing any distractions for me and my teammates."
Van Wagenen told ESPNNewYork.com that he will lead the baseball talks with the Yankees in hopes of getting Cano a new deal. Jay-Z will be involved but not in direct talks with Yankees ownership.

 Nas stopped by the Late Show With David Letterman last night to perform his new single "Daughters". I love the fact that Nas performed last night in and attended his album release party last night for his new album Life Is Good in the same outfit. None of that Hollywood fake shit here. The evening looked like nothing but fun with friends in attendance such as Chef Roble, Busta Rhymes and even a cheerful Jay Z all came out to support Nas on the release of his new album which hit stores today. Have a looksee!!

Kim Kardashian Shows Off Near Perfect Butt Cheeks

Image
Kim Kardashian was called to the Thailand sand recently for a photo shoot which called for her ass cheeks to be exposed accessorized with mostly sand. Now I call Kim's ass near perfect because I see not one dimple, ripple or mark on that perfectly rounded derriere. I also say near perfect because I feel like the majority of Kim's ass is real or should I say was real until she picked up her hobby of plastic surgery. If you're someone like Kenya Moore who has a janky ass real or not do you simply marvel at an ass like Kim's or simply fire your surgeon? You don't see good enhanced booties like you use to...except Khloe Kardashian 's. That thang looks real deal real so you know Kim handed over the referral. BTW, however she did it Kim's pre-baby bod is back or perhaps better now. Speaking of singing Kim's praises, have you heard Kanye West and Future 's new collabo " I Won "? "I made it over NBA, NFL players....
