Jay-Z recieved a special treat from pal Bono recently.While touring in Ireland, Hova was given a special preview of U2′s new album.

The Hip Hop star said

“I heard about four tracks. And the thing about Bono is, he’s in the studio like a kid, excited and singing the lyrics back, asking what I think … That’s passion, only passion. Trust me. He doesn’t have to do it … “Music is a challenge. Music’s like, ‘What have you done for me lately?’ Don’t matter if you make seven, eight great albums. U2 are arguably one of the greatest bands ever. (But) if their next album is not great, people are going to say they’re finished! U2!”
