The Hip Hop world is reeling from yesterday's arrest of Jay-Z. He turned himself into police after word got out that he was wanted for questioning. The NY Police wanted to explore Jay-Z's involvement in the stabbing of record executive Lance 'Un' Rivera Wednesday night at Q-Tip's album release party. Now Jay-Z's folks have been steadfastly maintaining that Jigga had nothing to do with this incident. And up to this point there have been no formal charges applied. The whole scenario is crazy.
