Jay-Z speaks to Angie Martinez about DOA, T-Pain, Drake, braiding his hair + more!



Confirms that T-Pain on stage was not planned….clarifies what he means by Death Of Autotune.

Talking about performing "Death of Autotune (D.O.A.)," Jigga spoke with radio personality Angie Martinez to say his record was not a diss towards Jim Jones and describe Pain's appearance.

"This is crazy, 'cause I didn't know where T-Pain came from," Jay revealed. "I look and I see somebody to my right and I swear I thought it was a fan and he was coming to hug me. I'm not even lying, not trying to be funny or take shots. I thought this person 'cause I didn't see who it was 'cause he was coming to hug me and I thought all right, that's some cool rock star stuff and then I seen people move again and I look back again and think 'Is that...' I guess he wanted to get close like 'Not me.' But it's really not him. It was a little awkward and it was cool. I don't mind sharing a little bit...He didn't mean any harm, he was just embracing the record...I'm not saying autotune is wack...I'm not saying that, I just put a soundtrack to it, I put a voice to it. If people wasn't feeling this way then the record wouldn't work the way it would...The culture is bigger than the politics."


Says he built the Summer Jam brand into what is now...

Confirms he paid 5 million for the rights to BP3 and to become an independent artist.

Angie asks about his hair…”you gonna have to braid that up soon”

Likes Drake’s honesty in his rhymes…likes Soulja Boy...
