Jay-Z recently opened up about his relationship with his daughter Blue Ivy in an interview with Gayle King. He revealed that she used to think he was uncool, but now she comes to him for fashion advice.
“She used to be frontin’ on me a little bit,” Jay-Z said. “But [now] I catch her. I catch her in the corner, you know? Now she asks me, you know, if this is cool, if her sneakers [are cool]. There was a time where she was like, ‘Daaaaad.'”
“I’m cool. I don’t know what you sayin. I’m cool! You got cool parents! At your house, your parents [are] cool.'”

Jay-Z also talked about his favorite albums in the interview. He said that his debut album Reasonable Doubt holds a special place in his heart because it was released on his own record label and gave him the freedom to explore the real stuff that was happening in the streets at the time.
He also said that his album In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 is one of his favorites because it features the song “Streets is Watching,” which was the last song he played for The Notorious B.I.G. before he was killed.
Jay-Z also called Vol. 2… Hard Knock Life his most important album because it was the album where he honed his craft as a songwriter and found the balance between creating exactly what he wanted and creating songs with real stories.
Gossip Girl Takeaway:
It’s so cute that Blue Ivy used to think her dad was uncool! But it’s great that she’s now coming to him for fashion advice. It shows that she’s growing up and starting to appreciate her dad for the cool guy that he is.
I’m also impressed with Jay-Z’s honesty about his albums. It’s clear that he’s passionate about his music and that he takes great pride in his work.
I’m excited to see what Jay-Z does next. He’s one of the most talented and successful artists of our time, and I know that he’ll continue to produce great music for many years to come.
