Did you know that Jay-Z’s releasing a new album in less than a month? Apparently no one did—that is, until last night during Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat, when a 3-minute Samsung commercial featuring the rapper and a few of his songwriting buddies aired across the country. As a ringing piano chord hovers over the video, the rapper also known as Hov plays around with beats for his forthcoming album, Magna Carta Holy Grail (Shawn Carter = Magna Carta, get it?), with the likes of Rick Rubin, Timbaland, Pharrell Williams, and Swizz Beats. He also drops a few details about writing “the new rules” for how music is presented today, and about the release date, July 4. But that’s not a normal release date: Only if you happen to own a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, and are one of the first 1 million users to download a customized app, will you receive Magna Carta Holy Grail on Independence Day. Everyone else in the world can legally purchase the alb...
