In an interview with USA Today, Jay-Z says he's not bothered by Cam'ron, who recently released Gotta Love It, in which he disses Jay-Z.
"The artist in me tells me to respond to that immediately," Jay-Z says. "But I know what that's all about. He has an album coming (Killa Season), and how else is he going to get mentioned in USA TODAY or other publications?"
Also, Jay-Z told MTV News he's "torn.".
"I feel like I would be stupid to even pay that any attention, because it's such a ploy. ... N---as is holding press conferences behind [the dis record]. The MC in me is like, 'That's too easy [to come back at him.]' That's not even a good dis record. That
sh-- is trash. I'm torn. We'll see what happens. Maybe on my time we'll deal with it, but I'm not really pressed. I'm inspired by good artistic sh--. Cam's sh-- is not artistic. There's nothing good about it. Everything about it is an obvious ploy to get attention. Nobody wants to get used. You're just using me. Of course he had to go that far."
As for Nas' next album, Jay-Z says it will probably drop in September and that he will probably be on one song. He hopes Nas will have production from Kanye West, DJ Premier, Just Blaze, Dr. Dre, Timbaland and Pharrell Williams
