After a dissappointing lost in Game 6 to the Boston Celtics, rumors flood the internet  about where Lebron James will play next season, Chicago? LA Clippers? New York Knicks? or will Lebron play for Hip Hop businessman Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and the Brooklyn Nets?

Lebron is a great player but he is going to need a better supporting class in order to get the must needed ring to label him as one of the greatest to play the game. More on Lebron’s Free agency after the jump.

With yet another number one album under his belt and a collaboration with Dr. Dre solidified, Jay Z’s earnings from his tour with Young Jeezy and Trey Songz are being calculated.

New reports are suggesting that Hov’s Blueprint III tour was widely successful, so much so that Mr. Carter made close to $10 million in sales within two weeks.

According to Billboard Box Score, Jay raked in $9,731,218 from March 11-24 making stops in Boston, New York, New Jersey and several cities in between.

Additionally, Live Nation paid Jay $150 million for rights to ticket sales taking his earnings up to nearly $160 million.

No word on how much Jay earned for the rest of the tour dates which kicked off February 20 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and ended March 27 in Las Vegas.

With the BP3 tour finished, Jay is still finding ways to earn more millions.

The Roc Nation head will travel to Europe for several tour dates including London’s Wireless Fest, Ireland’s Oxegen fest and shows in Paris, Switzerland and Scotland.

He’ll also make several stops at festivals in the states including Coachella on April 16 and Bonnaroo on June 10.

Steve Rifkind explains how Havoc (Mobb Deep) lit up a blunt and caused a fire alarm during their first meet.

Steve talks about the first time he met Melanie Fiona and thought her manager was “breath-takingly beautiful”.

Dame Dash as a 16 year old was a “cocky motherfucker”. He came into Steve’s office shouting and screaming with his cousin.

Then Steve tells me two stories about how he threw a chair out of the window and was escorted out of the building in handcuffs over a Wu Tang record and how he almost had a fight with a label President because they wouldn’t sign Jay-Z.
