Jay-Z Q Cover Feature

There’s two different versions of Jay-Z’s Q cover. The first features him with along with Lady Gaga and Dave Grohl. The other is the one you see above. In the story below, he’s asked about his relationship with his big brother Eric of “You Must Love Me” fame:

“How come I had a gun at age 12?” he says. “That’s the life in Marcy. I was an angry and confused kid trying to work my situation out. I would never do that now. I’m a different person. And Eric and I are good now. He was doing buttons on my suit when I got married.”

  36. sway-z says:

    Hardly anyone, in any genre of music can touch Hov’s catalog.
    NOBODY in hiphop has opened more doors, or set more trends or created more lanes.
    Not one rap artist has ever been this relevant at this level for this long.
    And I can name on 1 hand the number of hip hop albums as flawless as Reasonable Doubt.
    Add it all up, and the picture should be clear. And it’s not really close.

    Best Lyricist ever, no. Greatest MAN to ever rap, no. Best flow, nah.

    Greatest all around hip hop ARTIST ever…..without a doubt

  37. Android says:

    1st of all @krissy wit a fruity name like tht, u hav no business speakng on faggotry. 2ndly @sway-z(kanye! we knw its u)….. …….nas>a camel.

  38. az5lyrics says:

    I love jay z so much…..I worship him to death……he’s my messiah….man he’s a great man…..he has had greatparents and lived a great childhood…..I. Hate when people call him a camel because it makes me cry so much when I go to bed

  39. bap2313 says:

    Now that’s a face only a mother could love… and Beyonce.

  40. 2Much says:

    @az5lyrics hey man i think you’re going too far with your love for jay…i mean i like him too as an artist, i respect him for his business knowledge, he’s an unique personality in the game, but i would never call him my messiah or worship him to death…this means you have no life cause jay decides how you live it…and i think this is dangerous for the psyche…you have to remember that jay doesn’t give a fuck about you, he’s just a human, put yourself in his position, he has millions of fans, would you personally take care of one fan out of millions?…don’t take that too far it’s just music……..

  41. Dr. N Black says:

    Jay z is da man. Consistency makes him the greatest.

  42. They call me Slim Roethlisberger says:

    How is Jay-Z the goat when hes not even the best rapper in N.Y.

    Just because hes old doesnt make him consistent, Hes had a couple album flops.
    Do I need to remind you guys of his Kingdom come album.

    He is a great business man for sure, but the goat he is not.

  43. Ice Cold says:

    @2much Cosign azlyrics is what we call a STAN

    @Android

    I love Nas too, but if it wasn’t for Jay putting the battery back in him, who knows where he’d be right now
