Jay-Z set Twitter on fire when he decided to send five tweets in a matter of four minutes Monday afternoon. Not one for social media, Jay-Z has only composed 46 tweets since November 2008 when he initially joined Twitter.

Everyone from Complex Magazine to Diddy are calling these series of tweets a "rant." Compared to Kanye West's outbursts, I'm not sure if Jay's five tweets are worthy of such a distinction.

Signed with hashtags of the Holy Grail and New Rules, the five tweets signify his union with Samsung that was officially introduced Sunday night during Game 5 of the NBA Finals. ...READ MORE
