Jay Z covers the month’s issue of Blender.Here are excerpts of his interview:
At the end of a song on American Gangster you yell out, “It’s just entertainment!” What do you mean by that?
It’s my way of saying, “People, stop taking it so seriously — not everything rappers say is true to life.” It’s entertainment, too. If
you can watch a movie and see Denzel as a character, you should be able to do the same when you’re listening to rappers. I know we’re always saying, “Keep it real.” But for the most part [he laughs] — it’s not true!
“I expect people to know certain things,”
“If you’re my friend, you should know certain things, and I won’t tell you, even though I should. Sometimes relationships deteriorate around me because I only address things when I’m upset. I shouldn’t assume people know what I’m thinking.”Jay goes on to say his strength as a person is being “fearless about trying new things, putting myself out there.”
The rap mogul would not comment on his relationship with longtime girlfriend Beyonce.
