In an editorial in TV Mix, Henry T. Casey outlines how 2013 may not have been the best star for rapper Jay Z (aka Shawn Carter). Not only did he lose a hyphen, but his album Magna Carta Holy Grail (#magnacartaholyfail) was ill received and totally upstaged by his superstar wife’s self-titled surprise album, Beyonce.

Other highlights include:

Signing All Star 2nd basement Robinson Cano not to his hometeam the New York Yankees, but to the Seattle Mariners.

Releasing a fashion line for Barney’s only to have the retailer accused of racial profiling — and not reacting quickly to the allegations.

His 22-day stint with veganism.
