Tim Kash interviews Jay




“I met him the day before the plane crash,” Jay told MTV News on Monday, days after AM was found dead in his New York apartment. “We were doing the concert, and he told me that he had to go down to South Carolina to do a show with Travis, and then we’d go and do our show.

“The plane crash happened, and I’m thinking, ‘Let him recover. We’ll talk about that some other time,’ ” Jay continued. “He called, like, ‘Nah, man, I’m still ready to go.’ I was shocked by that at first. He came, he had a bandage on his head, and he was ready to go. He was someone that really loved what he did. That’s passion: to love what you do and still go forward.”

The two impressed the crowd throughout their performance together. At one point, Jay ventured behind the turntables while AM hammed it up for the crowd. “Make some noise for DJ AM,” Jay ordered the crowd.
The first video is Jay talking about 'Blueprint 3' tracks leaking (yikes!) and the other video is about him talking about DJ AM and him remembering him. Personally, I don't like the idea of the BP3 leaking like this... people are going to overplay it and the album is going to get old before it even comes out! But, whatever that's just my opinion.
