• Jay-Z’s recent performance at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom is about to get a global audience, thanks to Msn.com, which will webcast the show in its entirety starting next Tuesday, November 20th. We don’t know if “in its entirety” and “unedited” are the same thing, so while you listen for beeps, look for guest appearances by Diddy and Lil Wayne. Until then, check out an excerpt from Jay-Z’s Rolling Stone cover interview, plus exclusive audio from his interview and behind-the-scenes video from his photo shoot.

• Madonna and Pixies are the focus of two new tribute albums. Dig for Fire features British Sea Power, Mogwai, OK Go and They Might Be Giants trying their hand at the Boston band’s catalog. Through the Wilderness, which also serves as a benefit for Madonna’s own Raising Malawi Organization, has appearances by Lavender Diamond, Giant Drag and Ariel Pink.

• Rick Ross will release his sophomore album Trilla on December 18th. The LP includes guests Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Lil Wayne, Akon, T-Pain and R. Kelly, who features on the first single “Speedin’.”

• Fall Out Boy is in the “first trimester” stages of their new album, says Patrick Stump from the CosmoGirl! awards. The band also denied various rumors that said the band was going folk (rumors that probably originated right here), that they will collaborate with Cobra Starship’s keytarist and that the group are transitioning into rap-rock. Here’s a fresh rumor: Fall Out Boy went to the CosmoGirl! awards!
