Justin Bieber Hopes to Collaborate With Jay-Z in the Future

Justin Bieber is no stranger to the rap game. The 17-year-old collaborated with Kanye West and Wu-Tang Clan member Raekwon on his 'Runaway Love' remix, and even wowed fans at a show recently when he spit Busta Rhymes' mile-a-minute verse on Chris Brown's 'Look At Me Now.' Now, Bieber has his eyes set on one of the most respected and successful rappers in the music industry, Jay-Z.

During an interview with The Boombox at the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, the teen heartthrob spoke about his hopes to work with Jay-Z on his next album. "I would love to work with Jay-Z," Bieber tells The BoomBox. "Just a cool fun record."

So, would Jay-Z be up for the challenge? Perhaps, but probably not any time soon. The music mogul is currently finishing up his collaborative album with Yeezy, 'Watch the Throne.'

As for Jay-Z and Ye's 'Watch the Throne' album, producer Swizz Beatz recently spoke to MTV, saying, "That album is also worth the wait as well ... In this last month or so, it's really shaping up into a masterpiece. There's songs on there that's making you go crazy."
