NEWS: Hollywood Is Still In Jay-Z’s Sights

When Jay-Z first retired six years ago, he said he wanted to switch his focus on Hollywood. However, his music retirement never really happened.

So, where does this leave his acting career?

Jay tells MTV it’s still in the works, he’s just taking his time.

“I do. I do,” Jay insisted about whether he still wants to make movies in the future.. “I’m taking my time. It may seem like it’s taking forever, but when I do, it’s gonna be something added to the genre. I just don’t wanna do a couple movies and be gone. I want it to be something that’s really important, so I’m taking my time with it. Hopefully when I arrive [in Hollywood], I can leave a footprint.”

We’re not sure when that transition will happen, but until then, we always have music. His highly anticipated Blueprint 3 hits stores on September 11, featuring the singles “Run This Town” and “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune).”

His song with Drake, “Off That,” recently leaked.
