While Jay Z has been known to knock out an album in a few weeks, his upcoming release, Blueprint 3 is several months in making with no deadline in sight. Still working with Kanye, Jay says having no tome constraints as he’s his own boss, allow him time to wait in until “it’s ready for the people.”
MTV News caught up with Jay at his 3rd annual “2 Kings Dinner” with LeBron James and says that he is one of the few people to hear the work so far.
“He listens to lyrics so he picks up on things early,” Jay said of James. “I welcome that from anyone. Anyone who makes it in the room, their opinion is valued. But him being my brother and all, he picks up on lyrics, so I’m always anxious to hear his opinions on what I’m making.”
“He does the same thing to me,” James offered about the constructive criticism Jay gives him about his game. “If I’m out there not getting enough rebounds, or missing too many free throws, he lets me know about it.”
