We here at Complex love posting fake stories. And there's no better place to read fantastically fradulent stories than Clickhole. The weirdo troll site's crowning achievement is arguably the Oral History of Mad Men, but today they crossed into the rap world with a random but totally welcome oral history for the making of Jay Z's seminal Blueprint album. Seriously, the nutjobs at Clickhole outdid themselves on this one, with some truly bizarre faux quotes from everyone from the album's A-list line-up of producers  down to Young Guru and Lenny S. Here's an excerpt from the best section: 

Kanye West: The next joint Jay had me work on was “Izzo.” For that one, he asked me to imagine Biggie somersaulting down the streets of gold in heaven. He said I should go with whatever beat that image evoked.

Let's just hope that somewhere, as Hov reads this he's in a studio, cooking up another album that the bees will deem worthy.
