In a recent excerpt from the interview, JAY-Z and Gayle King explored "The Book of HOV" exhibit, pausing at a display of JAY's masters. The rapper explained the significance of this, saying, "This was when you were recording to actual tape. So, you cant mess up cause then you got to go all the way back and cut the tape." He continued, "Thats where the whole One-Take HOV came from."

JAY-Z elaborated on the concept, noting that the labor-intensive process of recording to tape required precision and minimal errors. Engineers would spend hours cutting and splicing the tape for edits, so he honed his lyrical skills to record his verses in a single take, without wasting time.

This revelation provides a deeper understanding of JAY-Z's work ethic and commitment to his craft. The interview also features a unique tour of "The Book of HOV" exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library, showcasing over three decades of his career, spanning from his original master recordings to his entrepreneurial endeavors and social justice initiatives. The interview is set to air on "CBS Mornings" on Thursday and Friday.
