Jay-Z‘s upcoming interview with Zane Lowe will definitely pique your interest.
According to NME, Jay divulged that he started working on the Magna Carta Holy Grail tracks “Holy Grail” and “Oceans” around the same time he was working on material for his collaborative album with Kanye West, Watch the Throne.
And after hearing these two Magna Carta songs, Kanye really wanted them for the aforementioned WTT.
“[There were] no lyrics on “Holy Grail” and I recorded “Oceans” and I played those records for Kanye. And he was like, ‘No those have to go on Watch the Throne,’ so we spent four days arguing about those records and I was explaining to him why it wasn’t right for this project and I had a whole idea for making this album called Magna Carta… Holy Grail [part of] the name came after. Four days literally arguing… not like fighting. Well, there was some pushing at one point but not between us, just everyone else got a little excited.”
Part 1 of the interview airs at 7PM on BBC Radio 1.
