The latest issue of Clash sees the biggest man in rap adorn the cover. Shot by legendary photographer Rankin we find the rapper firing out opinions faster than his rhymes.
Journalist Adam Park, something of hero in the British underground press, traverses one of Jay-Z?s most personal interviews ever. Here he reveals how many emotions he represses, intimate facets of his family life yet balances this by flashing his hand on how to keep ahead of your enemies at the very top of the musical tree.
The 39 year old musician also tells Clash how good it felt using his voice to help others in Africa yet why the same voice would cause him and others grief by going into politics in America. He confesses details on his head-to-head studio ego smash with producer Kanye West before letting us know that blowing Oasis?s Noel Gallagher off his own stage at Glastonbury felt as good as winning a Grammy.
Jay-Z is in both reflective and combative form ? Get involved now.
