Clips of Jay-Z’s extensive interview with Gayle King of CBS Mornings has been surfacing, and a more recent segment finds Jiggaman speaking about how he got the name “One-Take Hov.”
While talking to King, Jay-Z showed the interviewer reel-to-reel tapes featured in his ‘Book of HOV’ exhibit in the Brooklyn Library. The artist explained how he got the nickname, saying, “This was when you were recording to actual tape. So, you can’t mess up, ‘cause then you got to go all the way back and cut the tape.”
