In part one of their sitdown, Radio 1’s Zane Lowe and Jay-Z talk everything Magna Carta Holy Grail. Jay talks about how the creation of MCHG came soon after Watch The Throne and revealed him and Kanye had a four day “argument” over placement for two particular records. They also touch on hooking back up with Timbaland after his “mini-tour” at Barclays, his early career at Bassline Studios, how the creation of “BBC” came about, and what the process was like with Justin Timberlake and Beyonce working on their own albums in the same studio and having people run across the hallway for different records.
Stay tuned for part two, Fame, and check after the jump for the full interview as well as Hov’s European solo tour dates.
