Jay-z and other celebrities are featured in GQ Magazine for its December 2011 issue. Jay-Z shares about his collaboration with Kanye West in the single “Watch the Throne”, starting a family and more.

Jay-Z and Kanye collaborated on the single “Watch the Throne” and here is what he has to share. “I think he just can’t help himself. He puts so much into everything, and he’s like, ‘You have to treat it like I treat it.’ It drives you crazy sometimes – like when you’ve put 75 versions of a snare on one song and he’s like, ‘No!’ and you’re like, ‘Come on, man.’”

He is married to Beyonce and will soon start a family. He reveals why it took a long time for them to build one. He says, “Providing – that’s not love. Being there – that’s more important. I mean, we see that. We see that with all these rich socialites. They’re crying out for attention; they’re hurting for love. I’m not being judgmental – I’m just making an observation. They’re crying out for the love that maybe they didn’t get at home, and they got everything. All the material things that they need and want. So we know that’s not the key.”

And the accessories perfectly complement all the downtown stylish looks.
