With Blueprint 3 hitting stores in less than two weeks, it’s time to get used to seeing Jay-Z everywhere. One of this weekend’s promotional stops included a sit-down on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, a program that doesn’t play host to rappers very often. But of course, Hov isn’t your average emcee and Maher further proves that he isn’t some out-of-touch white guy, instead coming across as someone familiar with Jay’s work prior to this interview assignment.
