Jay Z Interview With Elliott Wilson (RapRadar) – #FactsOnly (Video)

Jay Z (#nohyphen) sits down with Elliott Wilson, veteran journalist and RapRadar.com head honcho, for a two-part sitdown interview, filmed hours before Jay’s concert at Yankee Stadium alongside R&B superstar Justin Timberlake.

The interview, which lasts nearly an hour, covers a range of issues, including Jay Z’s career path, the music business, his thoughts on the president and politics, the Trayvon Martin incident, the “guilt of giving,” being a father, “making marriage cool” and of course, Magna Carta… Holy Grail including the deal with Samsung and the #newrules that it created.

The vibe between the two is friendly (it is no secret that the two are close), and Wilson asked interesting enough questions to bring out casual, honest responses. Jay Z, as he has been in other recent in-depth interviews, was talkative, speaking on topics both personal and professional.

For those extremely interested in eveyrthing Jay Z has to say, his interview with BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe was similarly long and in-depth. Both interviews showcase Jay Z’s business acumen as well as provides a great insight as to his thought process, as well as his perceived place in history.
