The-Dream, aka Terius Nash, reveals he first presented the track during the Watch The Throne sessions. He also says the bulk of the Magna Carta Holy Grail was completed in 2 weeks.
“It was literally like, the body, two weeks of work,” shared The-Dream. “The significant part of this album – two weeks of work. Easily.” According to Dream, he and Timbaland were originally working on a Beyoncé project not one for Jay-Z.
The Atlanta native also compares the creation of Jay’s 12th solo album to the energy of the Master P and No Limit movement in the late 1990’s, and later in the interview he gives his take on the growing irrelevance of album sales and the rise of advertising-based partnerships with artists.
