NEW VIDEO: JAY-Z INTERVIEW MTV.COM

In the second installment of MTV.com’s exclusive four part interview with Jay-Z, he speaks at length about how he uses coded references (for example: Britney Spears alleged drug usage in a line from “Roc Boys”) to metaphorically make certain statements without flat out saying them. Jay says:

“… it’s not your typical punch line, and you can’t guess it. You know how sometimes someone says a line and you can guess the second one, where they’re going? You can’t guess it or can’t see it [with me]– it just comes out of nowhere. And you might not get it ever. Or you might get it five years later. That’s what it’s for…. So I leave certain things out there, open-ended in space.”
