jayz3

In part three of BBC and Zane Low’s interview with Jay-Z, business and politics serve as the topic of discussion as Hov shares his honest opinion on matters such as healthcare and President Obama.  However, Jay kicks things off by speaking on Roc Nation’s early years and the importance of setting the foundation for the label by first signing writers, producers and later developing careers of artists like J. Cole with the help of A&R’s.  The former Def Jam president also says that greatness takes time and doesn’t agree with associating tracks with specific seasons like summer or winter. Hov also speaks candidly on his belief that the sports industry and Hip Hop are “cousins” and the talents that surface from both come from the same origins.  Jay-Z also points out that he doesn’t move in political circles but stresses that Obama is a symbol of hope for a new generation.
