The marketing plan for Blue Print 3 seems to be in full swing as Hip Hop mogul Jay-Z stirs the industry up with his latest tactics.
Jay recently called in to Chicago's WCGI radio and shed some light on the Def Jam departure, Death Of Auto-tune, his top 5 all time, Dj Webstar, and more.
On Leaving Def Jam:
"I just thought that at this point in my career, I shouldn't have a record deal--it's not consistent with the type of business that I've been doing. We did great business at Def Jam so I went to L.A. Reid and he gave me the green light to speak to Doug. Me and Doug had negotiations, I flipped the coin and lost--and paid a little more than what I should."
Death Of Auto-tune:
"When a trend becomes a gimmick, it's time to move on. I saw a Wendy's commercial and they're using Auto-tune, they're joking on it. It's like ok, enough of that."
On Dj Webstar:
"He's a young guy, so he probably doesn't have a full understanding of what I'm saying. Maybe he'll understand one day but right now, he's a young guy, he doesn't know any better."
Top 5 Of All Time:
Biggie
2Pac
Scarface
Eminem
Andre 3k
