Jay-Z raves about London

Jay-Z has been talking about the delights of London in a new interview with Time Out. "I think in London - and I don't wanna offend anybody in America, but this is a real statement - they still have the right approach to making music," Jay-Z explained. "In the US, people see it as a way to make money, they see it as a means to get out. It's a hustle, which is great - any way you can provide for your family that's legal is fantastic. But it still feels like people make music to make music over in London. You understand? When I listen to Amy Winehouse, I believe that her heart and soul is in the music, or if I listen to other British artists like Duffy or Estelle. The aesthetic of it is different, and it's my point of view. It's not anything formulaic. It's my favourite city to go to." The rapper also again addressed the controversy surrounding his performance at this weekend's Glastonbury festival saying, "I believe that hip hop should play anywhere. I believe any music should play anywhere."
