Below, Jay-Z talks about his new song "Oceans," which features...Frank Ocean

"I'm anti-Santa Maria. Talking 'bout these stories. Only Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace. Silken fleeces lay on my Jesus. Oh my God, I hope y'all don't get seasick." 

Jay explains the inspiration for the song, referring to an inherent duality behind his rap about bodies of water. Though today he's "on a big yacht, throwing champagne in the water. The thing is this same water is the water that brought us here originally, you know, as slaves."

Magna Carta Holy Grail is available July 4th, make sure all the descendants of Christopher Columbus you know go and cop that (on their Samsungs, of course).
