People often forget that Wayne was one of the hottest rappers in the game for a while. The Carter series shifted some serious numbers; which is what made Jay Z stand up and take notice back in 2005.
For the first time, Wayne was vocal about his discussions with Jay Z leading up to the release of Tha Carter II, and while he’s never gone into details about the offer, the Young Money rapper decided to tell the story of his conversation with Hov while on Dj Drama’s radio show.
“You know when I went out there to talk to him about being with Roc-A-Fella, and mind you this was years ago, years ago,” he said of his official meeting with Jigga.
“First of all, he was at the 40/40 in the daytime, and when I got up there he was talking, it was Denzel [Washington], it was Derek Jeter. I was like, ‘This is his clique?’ And they up there just laughing at jokes I just don’t get. He literally sat me down next to him, and this where all that’s going on at, and he sat me right here. Like, ‘You ain’t a part of this,’ you know? And he would talk to me on the side after every joke.”
Then came the big reveal.
