The Brooklyn Hajj is a shop/dine promotional on Saturday and Sunday, August 22-23rd where participating restaurants, retailers, cafes and lifestyle stores will be offering promotional specials for the weekend. To redeem the promotional specials, the event-goers will buy a ticket called, “Passport” which they will present to the businesses at the time of transaction. The purpose of the BK Hajj is to create inter-borough commerce between neighborhoods since the participating businesses are located in various neighborhoods such as Bed-Stuy, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Park Slope, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens.
So get out the house and take a journey around Brooklyn.

Wait?…. No Bleek?
The presumed final tracklist (and quite possibly rear cover artwork) appeared on Father Time’s site today. It looks like BP3 is gonna be closer to the second installment of the trilogy than the first. Features galore. Here are some of my predictions:
-”Hate” will probably be the most gregarious display of egomaniac greatness that we will hear this year….or at least since “Real As It Gets”.
-J. Cole will black.
-”Reminder” will be my favorite song. I don’t know, Jay is notorious for those late album solo moments.
-Wale and Mickey Factz will commit suicide before their albums are released.
Its pretty apparent that Jay is using this moment to align himself with the “Saved By The Bell – The New Class” “Teen Titans” “Digimon” new crop of rapsters. Kinda wild to think that Jay actually is gaining more from the features than the young guns are (no ChrisNeef-o)
I think it will benefit the old guy though. Hov gets better when he’s got something to prove. And he’s not going anywhere. I can’t wait until my son is on Blueprint 9 going bar for bar with Jay. I know Jay will still be worth a verse in 2029. He’s not the Brett Favre of this rap shit. He’s not the Rickey Henderson of this rap shit. He’s something much more than that….
When Jay gets that young rapper strength…he’s kinda like Mumm-Ra The Everliving of this rap shit.
