Jay-Z

Jay-Z surprised us all when he began a replying spree on Twitter earlier today, but the best part is…he’s yet to stop! Hours later, we know a lot more about Hov than we did before…including the fact he likes to reply with brackets. If unlike me, you don’t get paid to watch Twitter all day (but have a tad bit of time for an IFWT post or two), I’ll break down everything you need to know below.

  • Jay’s favorite cereal? Cap’N Crunch…but don’t forget the berries!
  • He didn’t name Magna Carta Holy Grail “Magna CartER” because it was too obvious.
  • Advice he’d give a young Hov? “Time is money.”
  • His current fav track on MCHG is “Oceans” ft. Frank Ocean.
  • MCHG comes in fourth on Jay’s list of his best work. Ahead are Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint I and The Black Album.
  • He doubts this is his last album, as he tried retiring before and that didn’t work out.
  • He doesn’t wait in waiting rooms.
  • There are 6 music videos to come off MCHG.
  • His thoughts on Miley’s twerking: “Sshe represents an old worlds worst nightmare. Black neighbor,and the daughter not seeing color.”
  • Advice to indie artists: “Unlearn anything they ever taught you. They know not what they speak.”

That’s the gist of it for now, though as of 3:05PM EST, he’s still going! I’m loving his wit and sense of humor. That’s Hovie, baby!
