I freakin love this song. Though I dont think any of us can empathize with Jay about being too famous. I love how he uses the holy grail as a metaphor for being famous. In mythology it says that whoever obtains the holy grail will attain immortality. In a way he will be immortal, his name and image will live on forever as long as rap exists. Though he does say that with attaining the holy grail their is a double edge sword that just kills of enjoying being a celebrity. However he does seem to get over that problem quite quickly (before song ends).



Whats your interpretation?

No clue about his album as I haven't listened to it.

As for the song, the lyrics are clever, JT's hook is catchy...typical (current) Jay-Z song. That's what makes it so popular.
