MAGAZINES| JAY-Z COVERS ROLLING STONE
Posted by | Filed under Uncategorized
That’s the “I’m Rich, BITCHES” Smile that Jay-Z is rocking in one of the pics from his Rolling Stone feature. In the piece, Jay talks a bit about his relationship with Beyonce, his annoyance as President of Def Jam and his affinity for Indie Rock. Looks like Solange got him on the hipster tip cause Hov is damn near gushing about the creative sprit thats currently propelling indie rock bands like Grizzly Bear.
In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, contributing editor Mark Binelli goes one-on-one with the New York legend, watching Jay-Z try on a new suit in his sprawling Manhattan office and tagging along to the Four Seasons, where the rapper goofs by mispronouncing actor Kelsey Grammer’s name at a watch auction (after calling the Frasier star “Chelsea,” he asks Binelli how to spell “faux pas”). It seems the man who made his name rhyming about hustling and hos in Brooklyn’s Marcy Projects is actually more comfortable around an unlikely new crowd: indie rockers. “I love the energy coming out indie rock right now,” he says, name-checking Grizzly Bear. “It has this rebellion thing that hip-hop is missing now, the thing that made hip-hop hip-hop.”
