"I met this guy Jay Z years ago. I sat next to him at lunch, and I didn’t know much about bippity boppity. I said to him, who was the first rapper? I didn’t know what else to say. He gave me a few names that sounded like bippity boppity, and I said, “Would you consider James Joyce?” He said, “Who dat?” So I sent him a complete works of James Joyce. It sounds pure rap. "
