does jay-z have a kid - YES, Kanye West
Jay-Z spoke exclusively to EW.com about the success of Kanye West’s new album “Graduation”.
“It makes me proud as someone who’s watched his growth from the beginning, when he came in as a hungry producer, to now he’s a rock star. I’m happy for him on that level. And I’m excited for creativity as well, because I think that’s a win for that as well. You know, people mimic success. And in order to mimic that success, you have to put in a lot of work. You have to really care about the music. I was just listening to the first song [on Graduation], called ”Good Morning.” [West sampled] an acapella of my song in the end, ”The Ruler’s Back” off of The Blueprint album. And I was with him last night, he was bragging about having the acapella. He’s like, [decent Kanye impression] ”Yo, that’s how I spun it, ’cause I had the acapella.” I’m like, wow. The things he cares about! That’s not a big thing, but in his mind, ”I had the acapella, so I was able to put that sample in there without any drums.”
Jay goes on to talk about being surprised at the huge sales numbers for “Graduation”:
“I never thought he would do 440 [thousand copies of 2004's The College
Dropout] his first week. I never thought he would do 860 [thousand
copies of 2005's Late Registration in its first week]. Every single
time…This is not going to happen every day. But with the right music,
the right amount of attention, you can really do some serious damage
out there.”
