Jay-Z gets look at an original Magna Carta
Jay-Z has dropped by an English cathedral to see the inspiration for his latest album -- an 800-year-old parchment copy of the Magna Carta, The Associated Press reports. The musician visited Salisbury Cathedral in southwest England to see one of only four surviving original copies of the 1215 proclamation that is considered the founding constitutional document of the English-speaking world. Jay-Z's chart-topping album "Magna Carta Holy Grail" is partly inspired by the document.
