Jay Z spricht über Eminems Erfolg und den Kanye West Vorfall bei den EMAs:
„I never even told him this, but I remember that Eminem came into the studio when we made ‚Moment of Clarity,‘ which he produced, on The Black Album,“ Jay said. „So here’s Eminem. It’s 2003, I think The Eminem Show had come out, and he was, like, the biggest rapper in the world ? he sold, like, 20 million records worldwide or some ridiculous number. But when he came to the studio, I remember I hugged him and I could feel that he had on a bulletproof vest. I couldn’t imagine being that successful. I mean, he’s a guy who loves rap and wanted to be successful his whole career. Then he finally gets it, and there’s this dark cloud over him.“
„I just think the timing of what he did was wrong and that, of course, overshadowed everything. He believed that [Beyoncé’s] ‚Single Ladies‘ was a better video. I believed that. I think a lot of people believed that. You can’t give someone Video of the Year if they don’t win Best Female Video. I thought Best Female Video was something you won on the way to Video of the Year.“
…und Jay Z äußert sich zu Birdman, der gasagt Lil Wayne sei lyrischer und verdient mehr Geld als Jigga.
Hier nochmal Birdmans Kommentar:
