    REMIND SHAWN CARTER, aka Jay-Z, that his last long player, Vol.2&#;Hard Knock Life, which spawned the Annie-sampling single of the same name, sold 5 million copies (, of those in four days) and his only reply is a broad smile and one word, &#;Yeah&#;.

    The one-time Brooklyn drug dealer, who is now a captain of industry with his own Roc-A-Fella Records, may pull your regular &#;Pissed-Off-Rapper&#; pose for album sleeves and posters, but right now, as he sits in his palatial London hotel, slumped on a sofa, feet on an ornate coffee table, thumbing through the sports pages of a stack of American newspapers, he&#;s the face of contentment. Ask about his new album, Vol.3&#;The Life And Time Of Thomas Shawn Carterand how he intends to top his previous success and continue his so far unbroken trend of each album selling double that of the last and he calmly announces&#; &#;I&#;m doing something different.&#; His face dons a serious look as he justifies his last remark. &#
