Jay Z Covers Vanity Fair: Talks Beyonce, Blue Ivy in New Interview [PHOTO]

Jay Z covered Vanity Fair (think about how you would feel if you heard this sentence right after Reasonable Doubt dropped) and gave a rare glimpse into his personal life with Beyonce and daughter Blue Ivy.

"She does like her mother's music-she watches [Beyoncé's concerts] on the computer every night," Jigga said of his daughter Blue. "But my album came out and I don't know if Blue ever heard any of my music prior to this album-she's only 18 months old and I don't play my music around the house. But this album was new, so we played it. And she loves all the songs. She plays a song and she goes, 'More, Daddy, more . . . Daddy song.' She's my biggest fan. If no one bought the Magna Carta [album], the fact that she loves it so much, it gives me the greatest joy. And that's not like a cliché. I'm really serious. Just to see her-'Daddy song, more, Daddy.' She's genuine, she's honest, because she doesn't know it makes me happy. She just wants to hear it."

HOV took time out to explain his and Bey's decision to copyright their daughter's name.

"People wanted to make products based on our child's name," he said, "and you don't want anybody trying to benefit off your baby's name. It wasn't for us to do anything; as you see, we haven't done anything." 

He also discussed his latest venture, Roc Nation Sports (and how dealing drugs shaped his mind for business).

"I know about budgets. I was a drug dealer," he said. "To be in a drug deal, you need to know what you can spend, what you need to re-up. Or if you want to start some sort of barbershop or car wash-those were the businesses back then. Things you can get in easily to get out of [that] life. At some point, you have to have an exit strategy, because your window is very small; you're going to get locked up or you're going to die."
