Jay Z Covers Sky, Addresses Illuminati

 In the interview Jay talks about everything from a new label to Broadway, and addresses those pesky Illuminati rumors and the delay in the Watch the Throne project with Kanye West.

On being in a secret society:

    “It may sound a little arrogant, but I just think people can’t handle when somebody is successful. Something has gotta be wrong; you gotta be down with some higher power. And I guess when someone else is successful, it makes you feel like maybe you’re a failure. So it can’t be you, it has to be some other force.”

On working with Kanye:

    “’Ye is just in an extraordinarily creative place—so much so that I need to get him to focus so we can finish this. But music is his refuge right now.”
