Jay-Z’s exhibit highlighting his career—‘Book of HOV,’ has been making waves in New York, and CBS took time to discuss a portion of Jay-Z's story with Gayle King.
During the interview, King asked Jay-Z about the cover for his second album, ‘In My Lifetime Vol. 1,’ which caused the artist to share candid info about the project. Jiggaman noted, “This album, I was trying to go into, like, the music business.”
From there, Hov revealed, “The first song I made for this album was ‘Streets Is Watching.’ That was the last song I played for Biggie. He kept saying, ‘Play it again, play it again.’ I gave him the cassette.” The rapper then described Biggie’s reaction: "I’ll never forget — he looked back like, ‘The whole album gonna sound like this?’ It was almost like playful, but it was also almost like, ‘Man, he’s coming.'”
