Recent Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee and all-around GOAT when it comes to music, business, and philanthropy, Jay-Z revealed an unknown fact about his craft on LeBron James’ HBO show ‘The Shop.’

Sitting down for the season premiere episode, with other featured guests including Bad Bunny, Nneka Ogwumike, and Paul Rivera, James asks the 4:44 rapper if they’ve ever zoned out during a performance that they forgot about the audience, to which Jay shares that he used to forget all of his lyrics. “In the beginning, I used to get on the stage and just forget all my lyrics,” says the multi-Grammy winner. While it may come to a surprise that one of the greatest and most influential emcees would slip up on some shows, it only makes sense because Jay has always freestyled and never really wrote down his rhymes.
