Jay-Z Talks About His Future Plans

If I’m inspired. To be honest, I’ve been thinking about that lately. I have one album left on my contract, and then I’ve really come full circle.

This is all hypothetical but I’ve been thinking on the fly: I have one album left, right? If I’m inspired to make that album, then my contract is done and I’m not in the music business anymore as far as being an artist. I can still make music. But how I reach people with that music … I can do anything with it at that point. It’s kind of exciting in a way. I’m not in the music business so I can drop a single every month. Who knows? The possibilities are endless — and without any pressure to sell anything. I could make whatever and do whatever with my music. Maybe the songs would just play in 40/40.

Looks like Jay-Z is trying to think outside of the box and change the game.

    f’in hilarious… but I give him credit the soley 40/40 plan could get the stan’s and Riley’s in his place!

    Which hip-hop artist has got next?

    I don’t know. The obvious choice would be Lil’ Wayne. That’s on the front of everyone’s mind unless you don’t include Kanye in the equation. I think everyone would agree that Wayne is the closest.

    Why not jus say your “lil brother” Kanye? He can’t be hating on Wayne he had him on his and Kanye’s album so… again why not just co-sign your boy biggest act and “lil brother”?!?
