Music Thread #1 For 2/22/10: Is Jay-Z Involved In Possible Paterson Problems: Not A Good Day For Travis Barker

The runthrough:

An interesting case is brewing, as Jay-Z seems to be indirectly apart of the growing headaches that David Paterson is dealing with.
Jay-Z’s relationship with NY Governor David Paterson is one of the points of interest in a federal investigation into AEG’s multi-billion dollar deal for the Aqueduct Race Track racino.

The issue revolves around whether the bid selection process was unethical. Questions have arose following AEG’s successful bid since they courted Jay-Z, a good friend of Gov. Paterson, several months before the racino selection was completed.

Last month, Governor Patterson awarded AEG (Aqueduct Entertainment Group) with the contract to upgrade the existing Aqueduct Race Track venue, the only one located within the New York City limits.
Expect more on this story as time goes on.

For your rare American Idol weekly news to be highlighted here, Simon Cowell seems to prefer Perez Hilton over Howard Stern.

I can sure bet that despite how painful your root canal may have been, it sure had nothing on what Lil Wayne endured. He had 8 for his recent dental appointment before he goes to jail.

Yup, 8.

And he also started a Twitter account (though you can find it through your own search now).

The reconciliation is fully complete for Paul Wall & Chamillionaire. They will go on tour with each other.

And not a fun day at all for Travis Barker yesterday:

Stay tuned, because another music thread will hit you right back real soon.
