Even the best rapper in the world has to step back to let his true star shine. Jay-Z recently helped his daughter Blue Ivy out with some pictures at this year's Super Bowl. Moreover, onlookers spotted the father-daughter duo on the field before the big game began. As Ivy adjusted her hoodie, hair, and other clothing to look snazzy, Hov crouched down, almost sitting, as he searched for the right angle. Then, the 11-year-old jumped up into the air, and it seems like Jay got the pic. They looked at the phone so that the RENAISSANCE heiress could approve of the post. Who knows how many retakes they took, although with the rap legend's skill, maybe not any at all.
Moreover, the New York artist an entrepreneur helped Rihanna organize and execute her Super Bowl halftime performance. After all, he handles entertainment ventures and live performance bookings for the NFL. During an interview, RiRi spoke on how her son inspired her for her show. “When you become a mom, there’s just something that happens that makes you feel like you could take on the world. You could do anything. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world,” she explained. Though it’s been seven years since her last performance, she felt there was no better time than now. “It’s important for me to do this this year, it’s important for representation. It’s important for my son.”
Maybe Jay-Z finds similar inspiration in Blue Ivy. Still, that family is chock-full of greatness and points of inspiration. Furthermore, Jay-Z recently gushed about his wife Beyoncé's album RENAISSANCE and how it shifted the culture. However, he did so while acknowledging that its loss for Album of the Year at this year's Grammys means little. “I remove myself from the process and hope they just get it right,” he told Elliot Wilson in a Tidal interview. “It got to the point where I was like, it’s just a marketing thing. You go, you got an album out and it could help the sales go up.”
“Look what [RENAISSANCE has] done to the culture,” he continued. “Look how the energy of the world moved. They play her whole album in the club. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that. The whole entire joint — like, everything?! Every remix is amazing. Everyone’s inspired. It has inspired the world. Every remix is better than the other one. From anybody, we’re just finding these joints out in the street… It’s inspiring creativity. You know how The Black Album had The Grey Album [Danger Mouse’s 2004 mashup project]? And the one with Radiohead? It was called Jaydiohead [Minty Fresh Beats’ 2009 mashup]. When it just inspires creativity, that’s an album. That has to be Album Of The Year. It has to be.” Regardless of your thoughts on that, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Jay-Z.
