BBC and Zane Low deliver part two of their candid interview with Jay-Z. Zane continues his one-on-one sit down with Jay by getting his thoughts behind Magna Carta Holy Grail’s intro track “Holy Grail” featuring Justin Timberlake. Low and Jay also discuss Timberlake’s heartfelt delivery and the importance of the track which served as the albums “center piece” according to Hov. Jay-Z goes on to explain the creative direction behind the song which serves as a cautionary tale in regards to fame but at the same time addresses it as a blessing. Jigga man also speaks openly about how he balances fame in his life and stresses the importance of living a normal existence. Zane and Jay-Z close out this portion of their interview by discussing the music industry’s reluctance to adopt and utilize modern technology in order to effectively promote and distribute new music.
Zane Low and BBC recently sat down for an in depth interview with Jay-Z and over the next few days will be releasing a total of four parts. In part one, Jay-Z opens things up by speaking on his new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, and shares its beginning stages which stem from “Holy Grail” and “Oceans” which came about immediately following Watch The Throne. Jay also recalls arguing with Kanye West for four days after the G.O.O.D. Music artist caught wind of the records and felt they needed to make the tracklist for Watch The Throne. Hov also goes into detail about the atmosphere in Baseline Studios during the recording of his classic LP, The Blueprint, and the creative environment that Kanye West and Just Blaze helped contribute to.
As the interview continues, Jay-Z reflects on his fall out with producer Timbaland and their eventual reconciliation which came about after Timbo previewed “Picasso Baby” for Jay. Jigga man also talks how “Picasso Baby” set the tone for Magna Carta Holy Grail, how “Versus” organically came about during a back and forth exchange between Swizz Beats and Timbaland and recording his album at Jungle Studios in New York. Finally, Jay-Z speaks on the importance of putting ego’s aside and the spontaneous session that brought about “BBC”.
