Jay-Z Talks About Next Album

“Well, I’m pretty much now in a great place, I’m in the zone.” “Glastonbury was a historic event for me, I played Milton Keynes the day after that and it’s just … You know, I’m feeling the love. Any time you can come from where I come from — Brooklyn, New York, everybody knows the story — [and] come so far. It’s not that it’s that far, but to come overseas and have people embrace you the way I’ve been embraced thus far, it’s just an amazing feeling.”

Jay-Z on his feelings towards Oasis’ Noel Gallagher:

“I haven’t spoken to him.” “I heard he was reaching out, but I haven’t spoken to him.”"Anyone.” “Oasis as well — it doesn’t matter to me, I don’t bear any grudge, it’s all good. I just believe in good music and bad music, I’ve always said that. You look at any interview from the beginning of time, I’ve always stated that I don’t believe in the lines and classifications that people put music in so they can easily define it.”

Jay Z on his next album:

“Well, after the tour, I’m going back home and we’ll look at it and see if I can start a project this year.” “I would love to do it, to be honest with you. It would be a great thing to do when I come home from tour, but it’s vibe. I can’t say, ‘On this date this is going to happen.’ If I get home and the vibe is right, it’ll happen. If not, then top of next year.”"I can’t give you the concepts or themes, but I’ve got a very clear direction of where I want to go with this one, and we’ll see how it works.”
