Jay-Z has revealed more information regarding his highly-anticipated Magna Carta Holy Grail release, this time offering a look into the making of “Jay-Z Blue.” Details come as a promotional effort between Jay-Z and Samsung, where various videos are released to Galaxy users in a Holy Grail app to provide information about the album.
“We still marvel at her,” Jay explains in the video, speaking with producer Rick Rubin. “It’s most obvious on the song called ‘Jay-Z Blue.’ It deals with, you know, my pop left when I was young. So, he didn’t teach me how to be a man nor how to raise a child or treat a woman. So, of course, my karma, the two things I need, I don’t have. And I have a daughter.”
Jay-Z continues, providing a brief analysis of the song.
“It’s the paranoia of not being a good dad,” he adds.
