Tell us if you’ve seen this before: Jay-Z sits in a room decoding a song while producers Rick Rubin, Pharrell, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland sit and listen.
Sound familiar? It should, because we saw it the other day when Jay broke down the Frank Ocean-assisted “Ocean.”
Today we got three new videos. In the first one, Jay is decoding “Holy Grail,” the Justin Timberlake featured track.
In the second video, Hov breaks down “Heaven,” while Rick Rubin, one of the album’s producers, lies down on the coach and listens.
Here’s what Jay says about Heaven:
“No matter what religion you are, accept the other people’s idea. Because, have you ever been to heaven? Just for me, my idea is heaven is in your daughter’s laughter. Hell could be if your child is missing for three minutes, you’re in three minutes of hell.”
In the third video, Jay breaks down “Jay-Z Blue” which is an ode to his young daughter, Blue Ivy. Oh, and Rick Rubin is on the couch listening.
Magna Carta Holy Grail, Jay’s upcoming twelfth studio album, will be available on July 4th, first for the first one million Samsung phone users who download the Magna Carta app.
Six days until the album drops and we still haven’t heard a song yet.
At this point, we kinda wish Jay was working with the #oldrules.
