Sorry local fans but Jigga Jay-Z is hanging up the microphone and trading in the rap lifestyle to try a little something different. In an interview with the British music magazine NME, the hip-hop impresario said his “plan is to make the next album, The Black Album, my last,†adding, “There comes a time when you've got to go and challenge yourself with other areas, you know what I'm saying?
Take myself out of my comfort zone. Take the safety blanket off.â€
Instead, Jay-Z, like Eminem wants to go Hollywood.
“A feature-length film would be cool. I haven't seen 8 Mile (Enimem’s first feature film) yet. Maybe not the same storyline but maybe something. It's a natural evolution for artists. I’ve done pretty much everything in hip-hop, you know what I’m sayin,†he said.
