"I made reference to (it)because Jay is the biggest rapper of our time. The name of the album was inspired by Jay but not the body of work. I do think that it’s going to create new rules, though, in (the way)that (The Blueprint did).”

Speaking of Anaconda, the 2014 MTV EMAhost added: “I wanted to create a song that embraced curvy women … I wanted to be sexual but be playful with it. That whole song, I was just being dumb. It was a joke.”
