Jay-Z Wants You To Show Us What You Got

Brian Raftery | October 9, 2006 10:10 am

Last Friday, some well-connected little birdie dropped an advance MP3 of Jay-Z’s “Show Me What You Got” into our tips@idolator.com mailbox. This apparently didn’t make the folks at Interscope/Universal/Globex (or whatever they’re called) too happy, and after writing us a few excitingly bold-faced legal letters, they jumped the gun and posted the song themselves.

We bring this up not to brag–all we did was throw the song up before going back to making Shalamar jokes–but to point out that when you send us a tip or track anonymously, we keep it anonymous. And we love advance leaks–not fake leaks masterminded by some lame underground-marketing firm, but real-deal, someone’s-gonna-get-screamed-on-for-letting-this-get-out leaks. So please keep ’em coming, because frankly, our lawyers need something to listen to while trying to figure out how to keep us from copyright court.
