Photos and diary entries are featured on MTVNews.com.JAY-Z is currently exclusively featured in a series of commercials for the TNT "Let The Truth Be Told" campaign. The series includes eight different 30-second spots that show Jay Z sharing his 'truths' during a thought-provoking interview on core themes, such as competition, talent, stardom and legacy, during a ride through the streets of Manhattan in the back of a chauffer-driven car. The underlying essence of the series tracks the stages of a superstar athlete, which parallel that of an entertainment mogul. The spot began running nationwide on Thursday, Oct. 5th; the remainder of the series will be rolled out in following weeks, with an extended director's cut of the interview available exclusively on TNT OverTime on NBA.com.Be sure to stay tuned for new Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter information every week.
