Jay is featured On the covers Of Blender Magazine December Issue. I guess he is fallowing up on the American gangster theme, but damn these pictures are horrible it makes him look real old. You can check out a snippet of his interview with blender magazine below.

“This is not my job, you know what I’m saying?” says Jay-Z, referring both to making music and serving as president and CEO of Def Jam Records. With part ownership of the New Jersey Nets, booming businesses in restaurants, liquor and other fields, and a net worth of $286 million, Jay-Z doesn’t have much of a profit motive. “At this point I do it for love.”

Love was not the obvious motivation behind Jay-Z’s 2006 album, Kingdom Come, his first after declaring he’d retired from making records. His slam-dunk of a swan song, 2003’s The Black Album, captured the era’s most respected and popular rapper at the height of his powers, but Kingdom Come came off like an act of brand repositioning, its triumphs more synergistic than musical, its underwhelming tracks mercilessly marketed with tie-ins to Anheuser-Busch, Hewlett-Packard, Cherry Coke, the NBA—just about everything but TrimSpa.
