While out in the Yankees Stadium where Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake held their summer tour, Elliott Wilson sat down with Mr. Life+Times himself for an hour long segment. They spoke about Jay-Z’s latest album, new rules in the music business, his philosophy on collaborations, the connection he has to New York, and the future of rap. Of course like every Jay-Z interview, you have to say “facts only” after everything Jay says like as if he’s Hip-Hop’s Stone Cold Steve Austin.
UPDATE: Part 2 of the hour-interview where Jay-Z gives Elliott Wilson a glimpse into his views on respect and competition within the music world, the shared stories between sports and hip hop, his thoughts on the Trayvon Martin ruling, and his perspective on parenting is after the jump.
