With all the success of the Blueprint 3, you’d think Hov would be eager to get back in the studio and follow up with his success. Well, Jay-Z touched on what’s going on with the new project and gave a little info on what’s next with him and music.

When asked about the new album, he told MTV:

‘I don’t know. I didn’t really start yet. I got a couple of scraps and I got a couple of ideas. I didn’t really go into the studio yet. I’ve been toying with ideas and direction and things like that.’

‘I got one crazy record,’ he added. ‘To be honest with you, it’s crazy. I got one and we’ll build from there. Whether it comes out this year or next year, it depends on the music and how it’s coming out. I don’t really have any dates.’

Due to the world really grasping his music and being more accepting of hip hop, Hova says he’s definitely been inspired.

‘The world is inspiring me,’ he said. ‘I get out and see the world and more of the world is accepting of our music and what we do. I’m just inspired by the whole thing and how big hip-hop can be and how much of a phenomenon it is. You couldn’t imagine hip-hop being at the World Series. I touched the championship trophy before A-Rod and the Vince Lombardi trophy before the Saints. You couldn’t imagine that happening 10 years ago. How about five years ago? I’m saying that to say that the journey hip-hop has taken and we are right now, there’s no imitation to it … still. Still!’
