Blogxilla was rummaging through his old Playboy collections – this time to read the actual articles [I'm sure] – when he came across a vintage Jay-Z interview where the rap icon talks about his, at that time, budding relationship with Beyonce and his “bro’s before hoe’s” mantra he shares with Memphis Bleek.
It’s an interesting read.
PLAYBOY: Do you think women are less trustworthy than men?
JAY-Z: No. But guys don’t want to date me for my money, so I don’t have to worry about them.
PLAYBOY: If you’re going to have kids, you have to get over that paranoia.
JAY-Z: Yeah. I’m learning, I’m growing. I’m growing slow.PLAYBOY: You tell a story in This Can’t Be Life, that you were almost a father. True story?
JAY-Z: Yeah. The girl I was seeing about four years ago had a miscarriage. But I wasn’t sad. I didn’t even grieve. Maybe it happened because I wasn’t ready to be a dad.PLAYBOY: And now you’re dating a woman who doesn’t need your money, either.
JAY-Z: Is that right?PLAYBOY: How did you meet Beyoncé Knowles?
JAY-Z: I used to see her all the time. [Quickly] We’re not engaged or anything, by the way. We’re just cool. We’re just friends. We don’t really, ah, know each other like that yet.PLAYBOY: Just friends, like the way you and Memphis Bleek are just friends?
JAY-Z: No, Beyoncé’s a woman. A very attractive woman. But we’re friends for now. Me and Bleek, we’re tighter. I took him from the projects—I’m from 5C, he’s from 3C. He’s been with me since 1994. Between Beyoncé and him? Beyonce’s got to go [Laughs].PLAYBOY: Do you wish that she was your girlfriend?
JAY-Z: She’s beautiful. Who wouldn’t wish she was their girlfriend? Maybe one day [smiles].[Source]
I’d imagine that now in 2009 Sean wouldn’t pick no man above his wife. But you see what happened between Eddie Murphy and Johnny Gill, so what the hell do I know.
Jay’s definitely a pimp. It seems like he knew what he was doing all along with Bey.

She still has to go, cause their relationship is all media hype. Tell me when’s the last time you saw them and thought to yourself that it looks real? Like Katt Williams, Don’t worry, I’ll wait!
