Q Magazine has just issued their 10 Most Exciting People in Music Right Now and two of C & Z Press's favorites made the list and the cover: Jay & Gaga. Here are some excerpts from the two which should hold you over until you go out and get your own kopy. Which is destined to be a collecter's issue.
King Hov:
How the world's greatest rapper became its best rock star too. With help from Noel Gallagher. Jay Z is raps’ top mogul and has topped this years Forbes hip hop rich list having earned $63 million this year. This month he talks about growing up in the projects, wearing a bullet-proof vest and rap rivalry with Nas. A lot of things have changed now, he can call Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow close friends and has produced tracks with Jack White (will we ever hear them?). Jay Z also talks about festival performances, of Glastonbury '08 being reminiscent of “a shanty town, not built on poverty and struggle. Built on music”.
Queen Gaga:
She’s at the top of the fame game, living breathing and loving. Its not an act, it's who she is “my ultimate goal? I want a Lady Gaga exhibit at the Louvre.”
The talented MIA also made the list.
MIA:
“Even if the Sri Lankan government didn't kill me, I'd get killed by someone else.”
