Among other reasons, Jay-Z has recently taken to London to record his forthcoming collaborative album, Watch The Throne, with Kanye West. And while Jigga's out there, he stopped by the BBC studio for an interview with Tim Westwood. It's not necessarily rare for Jay to do this, but he certainly doesn't do interviews very often. Here, he goes quite in-depth on a number of topics, from his forthcoming Decoded book that breaks down his lyrics and the stories behind them; his "beef" with MC Hammer; signing of Willow Smith; what to expect on The Hits Collection Vol. 1; and several other topics.
The Hits Collection drops Nov. 23, which is the same day Nicki Minaj and Kanye West release their highly anticipated albums. Get your wallets ready.
