‘Holy Grail’ is set to feature on Magna Carta Holy Grail, out 4 July, and features Justin Timberlake on guest vocal duties. The Nirvana-inspired line comes from ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, appearing as:
“And we all just
Entertainers
And we’re stupid
And contagious.”
“I’m letting Jay-Z use lyrics– Frances would freak ,” Kurt Cobain’s widow Courtney Love recently told Huffington Post. “Jay-Z’s huge and we’re friends. I mean we’re not besties or anything.”
