Black jay is a local name applied to the species within Tasmania.
The black currawong (Strepera fuliginosa), also known locally as the black jay, is a large passerine bird endemic to Tasmania and the nearby islands within the Bass Strait.
"It's so black," Jay said.
Birds include honey eaters, black jays, masked plovers, black magpies, black cockatoos, and various parrots.
Thirty-four yeafterfter Simone released "Young, Gifted and Black," Jay Z reused the title for a song that describes the fate of many of those gifted children — "Hear all the screams from the ghetto all the teens ducking metal" — in twenty-first-century America.
Like Jay-Z's 2003 album The Black Album, Jay-Z released an a cappella version of American Gangster.
As Simone sings about her black skin, Jay-Z wonders about O. J. Simpson's contention that he wasn't black, he was O. J. "Light nigga, dark nigga, faux nigga, real nigga / Rich nigga, poor nigga, house nigga, field nigga," Jay-Z raps on the chorus, "Still nigga, still nigga".
The six nominations ties Ocean for the most nominations this year with Mumford & Sons, Kanye West, Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, Jay-Z and fun.
Who has the blackest album: Jay-Z, Prince or Metallica?
My ears can hardly keep up with the cacophony: blue jay, black-capped chickadee, gray catbird, red-bellied woodpecker.
Frank Ocean, Mumford & Sons, Fun, the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, Jay-Z, and Kanye West lead this year's Grammy nominations.
