(Jay-Z explains why he became a rapper in '98)

By Nadeska Alexis

Jay-Z celebrates his 42nd birthday on December 4, and you’ve got to figure that "midlife crisis" is a completely foreign concept to a man who has survived and prospered in the entertainment industry since his 1996 debut with Reasonable Doubt. This year alone the Brooklyn-born rapper, turned mogul, released his Watch the Throne album with Kanye West and kicked off one of the most anticipated hip-hop tours to date. He also topped Forbes' Cash King List once again, officially renamed his basketball team the Brooklyn Nets and learned that he's about to become a father. Take a look back at footage from Hov’s earliest years, before he was sharing dinner tables with Warren Buffett. Clips include his first tour performance in 1991 and his 1996 hosting duties on Yo! MTV Raps. Read More...

By Dionne Buxton

Ol’ Dirty Bastard died on November 13, 2004 just two days shy of turning 36. On Tuesday (November 15), the Brooklyn-born rapper would’ve celebrated his 43rd birthday. The eccentric emcee had a successful musical career both as a member of the Wu-Tang Clan and as a solo artist, releasing two popular albums (1995’s Return to the 36 Chambers and 1999’s Nigga Please) before his death. ODB was known for his off-the-wall lyrical flow, which Wu-Tang members found fitting since there was “no father to his style.” Read More...

Diddy is having the best birthday ever. Well, actually, we can’t say that for sure, but according to his tweets the Bad Boy mogul is soaking up all of the well-wishes from his adoring public. “Yall are the best!!! :) I feel like I'm having a Birthday Party with 4 million (4,000,000) of my closest friends!” he wrote on Twitter early Friday morning (November 4).” I love you guys Thank you.” It’s almost certain that Diddy will host an exclusive shindig to celebrate, but the question is—will he try to top his 40th birthday celebration?
