Hip-hop mogul Jay Z is nothing if not a man of his word, receiving praise from Blender's music editor Rob Tannenbaum after paying off $1000 from a bet they made in 2003. At odds of 50-1, Tannenbaum wagered $20 with the rapper that he would ultimately record again when Jay-Z announced his retirement.
With the release of Kingdom Come last year, Jay-Z surprised Tannenbaum by remembering the bet and delivering the proceeds of the forgotten bet to his office. "Jay-Z is a man of his word," said Tannenbaum. "I just bought a plasma TV with the money, and the first thing I'm going to watch on it is a Jay-Z video."
