Jay-Z Got Teary-Eyed For Jeezy's 'Seen It All'

(Radio.com) Jay Z isn't known for his emotional vulnerability; remember when Solange went Street Fighter 2 on him in the elevator? He didn't lose it- he played it calm and cool, like he always does.

But his contribution to Jeezy's "Seen It All" found Hova delving into a different part of himself. The nostalgic, the raw, the weepy. Yeah, Jay Z got teary-eyed.

The verse, which took the rapper less than an hour to complete, deals with his drug-slangin' past, and as Jeezy tells MTV News, they "got on the phone and [Jay] was like, 'Yo, Jeezy, when I was writing the verse I had tears in my eyes, man,' because it took him so far back to Marcy. Every bar in that song was real - I put my hand on the Bible." more on this story
