So, the word is all the big name MC's (Nas & Kanye included) took part in this film but Jay-Z declined. They say that all of the legends were happy to be interviewed by Ice T and share so many perspectives on Hip hop (Chuck D talked about this on Twitter a weeks or so ago and was talking about Jay-Z not being part of this was like a NBA History joint and Jordan declining interview)

Why do you think Jigga declined? Do you feel that he thinks that he is above this type of thing at this point? Does the think he is bigger than Hip Hop? (Of course I can't wait to see it regardless and not mad at Jay-Z either way b/c that was his choice)

I'm just curious to your thoughts people... peace
