This Halloween, Jay-Z
was on Hot 97 for an Interview with Angie Martinez.
HipHopDX let you
know about Jay’s latest interview with Funk
Flex. Where Jay-Z aired out Jim
Jones and let the world know he still has it with a fresh freestyle. Only a day
later, it’s Angie Martinez’ turn to pick
Hov’s brain.
Topics run rampant during the 30+ minute session. Speaking on
his relationships with 50 Cent and Nas, on Def Jam artists being mad, and his thoughts on the Swagger Jacker that was released some
time ago, which is quoted…
“…my thing is, if you
take my work. I mean like 400 or something songs, I don’t know the number. Right,
if you take my work and you take songs that interpret songs of other people’s
work, it will be less then like 10% now. Somebody on the internet’s probably
doing it right now…”
“…if I was the only
one doing it, then I’d understand that. That’s not uncommon, that’s part of hip
hop. I just make smashes with em’. Some dudes be doing it for nothing. My
joints be like smashes! I’m sorry, forgive my arrogance…*laughs.”
Hov also
announces that himself and Green Lantern
are working on a mixtape entitled the Presidential
Invasion Mixtape. Which promises all new joints and exclusive freestyles that won’t be featured on the album, Kingdom Come; a street mixtape
for the people. “I’ve got this one joint, wooooow. I wanna put it on the album
it’s so crazy. But it’s not really my track,” Jay reveals to Hot 97.
Oh and did I mention, Mr. Carter threatens to push his album up to the 14th to compete with The Game? Yea … Hov is back.
