Just Blaze was slated to record with longtime collaborator Jay Z on the recently released Magna Carta Holy Grail, but several things prohibited the producer from placing beats on the album.
“I haven’t really talked about this publicly,” Just Blaze says during an interview with New York radio station Power 105.1. “He came to see me before he started the album and was like, ‘Yo, we haven’t gone in. We’ve got to make this happen.’ So, he came in the studio, came Uptown and we decided on seven joints we were going to do. Then I left and went on tour. I was [gone] for like three months. He was hitting me like, ‘Yo, don’t give those to nobody. Don’t give them to nobody.’ So I went on the road and by the time I had gotten off the road, he had changed directions on the album. So he was like, ‘Come down, come down. Let’s work this out. I want to do some new records.’ But I was in and out of town. I was doing like three or four shows a week at that time. It’s tough being a touring deejay.”
Just Blaze says that he couldn’t cancel his deejay gigs, so he met with Jigga as soon as he could.
“We tried to make the connect happen after I got off the road, but at that point, he was so far into the album and it was like a week left,” Just Blaze says. “I’m like, ‘I don’t work well like that,’ especially not with him. Because we have that legacy, I can’t just go in and just make anything real quick and be like, ‘Yo, here. Take this.’”
Beyond the scheduling problem, Just Blaze says that another issue arose once he and Jay Z got together.
“We just didn’t find that zone,” Just Blaze says during the interview. “The thing with me and Jay is I think we spent the last couple of years chasing ghosts, meaning the ghosts of ‘P.S.A.’ and ‘U Don’t Know.’ I was around when he was working on the album.”
Timbaland, Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon, Pharrell Williams, Mike Dean, Swizz Beatz and Hit-Boy were among the producers who contributed to Magna Carta Holy Grail.
Just Blaze says during the interview that the some of the beats Jay Z said he wanted have been given to other artists and that Jay Z may still use some of the others on his next album.
Justin Blaze didn’t want his name associated with this pop garbage album.
Wrong again, dentalbitch. Also, pop garbage album describes Rich Gang, not MCHG.
Oh yeah, as opposed to YMCMB’s underground lyrical gangsta shit, right?
When Gay Z wanted him to fuck him, he backed the fuck out. YMCMB keeping it real.
Keeping it real by anal sex? Make up more lies.
Lmao. I love this guy!
my classmate’s ex-wife makes $64/hour on the laptop. She has been fired from work for nine months but last month her income was $17286 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read more on this site ..>>> http://xurl.es/i11cz
magna was garbage, not surprised Just couldn’t get in the zone for that.
average album, Blaze didn’t really miss out on anything epic….
When Blae and Jay do hook back up for a track, it will be classic. Checkout thegrandreport, they got some good videos on there
Blaze zone = usually excellent… Magna Scrotum = straight dogshit
” I cant just go in and just make anything real quick”

HipHopDX, I see that you made a mistake in the name of the title of this article. It should be, “Just Blaze Didn’t Make It On Jay Z’s “Magna Carta Holy Grail” Because Jay Z Is A Faggot.”
Thanks…
