Jay-Z is now halfway through his eight-gig residency at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Last night during the fourth show in the series, Hov took a break to recall how he played his first demo tape for his uncle and was met with skepticism. He explained that his uncle told him that he would never be better than LL Cool J, and took a beat to imply otherwise.
“My first demo tape I played for my uncle, and he said “N**ga, get out! You never gon be better than LL Cool J,” he said. “Now, LL Cool J is a bad m*thafucker… I’ll just leave that alone.”
He continued with some inspirational words that he has echoed on previous nights, telling the audience that everyone is a genius at something, only they have to discover their hidden talents.

Say what you want Haters, but you know you will listen to Jay-Z’s next album there was a rumor it was Blueprint 4 but who knows whatever its called I am getting that Legend’s Album…
real talk
Hell no I won’t nigga unless he actually tries and raps decently on his next album.
Nope, never really been a fan of him to be honest. Respect him though as he is a great writer but I personally wouldn’t put him up there with the greats and into “Legend” status.
He can market like a mother fucker though but hey he is a business… man!
Thats how it always is with some family until they realise that you are serious about what you’re doing then they back off.
