Jay-s isn’t just a cover artist for DJ Hero, he’s a gamer too. NyMag finds out the details on Hov’s gaming history and how he plans on turning his DJ Hero skills into a profitable business venture. In his past, he didn’t just annihilate rival rappers, he also pulled a Bill Belichick and ran up the score against his nephews on sports games.
“My nephews ain’t beat me they whole entire life, until now. They can destroy me now. But I’d never let them cause that mean they controlled the household. I would just beat them mercilessly. By a hundred. Let them build up character. Suck it up, kid. You know, dunk on ‘em, do different plays. Ty Ty, who’s my guy, we he had this long-standing battle. This was like Lakers versus Celtics, the early live games That’s when Michael Jordan used to helicopter [dunk], all this type of stuff. And I would just destroy him. I’d torture him. I was that guy. I’d just be talking halfway though: “Man, are you gonna play harder? Are you just gonna let me beat you by 75?””
Later on he talks about his future as a DJ
“I think after a year with DJ Hero I’m gonna start D.J.-ing parties like Q-tip and all those guys. I already got a whole plan: I’m gonna work on this for a year, then I’m gonna get me a little Serato set, work on that for another six months. Then I’m gonna find out who makes the most. I’m gonna charge double that. I’m gonna do a tour, bar mitzvahs, weddings. I’m gonna have like video … I’m telling ya’ll, ’cause I don’t want nobody stealing my idea … I’m gonna have, like, video behind me. Dancers. I’m gonna have people pour champagne when I get to a certain song. I’m gonna make a whole show of this thing.”
