Interviewer Elliott Wilson sits down with New York’s JAY Z at Yankee Stadium for a candid one-on-one sit down as the two discuss a number of topics.  In part one, Wilson credits Hov with popularizing the New York Yankee fitted hat and asks JAY Z to share his thoughts on performing in Yankee Stadium alongside Justin Timberlake for his Legends of Summer Tour.  At one point in the interview Jay also reassures fans that he has no ego and loves collaborating with other talent in order to create special moments in music.  Hov also shares an early conversation he had with Rick Rubin on “Holy Grail” and deciding to remove The-Dream off the track and replacing his vocals with Justin Timberlake’s.  JAY Z also speaks on his love for art and his belief that the creative outlet runs parallel with music.  Wilson also discusses with Jigga his longtime desire to change music industry standards since taking his previous position as Def Jam president.
