So Glastonbury and the media hyped controversy between Jay-Z and Oasis is finally over. MTV sat down with Jay-hova to discuss his next move, and his feelings toward Noel Gallagher. Not surprisingly, Jay was in good spirits (seriously, what does he ever have to be angry about?)  and was still feeling a natural high from his performance.

"Well, I'm pretty much now in a great place, I'm in the zone," Sir Hova of Brooklyn told MTV Base this week. "Glastonbury was a historic event for me, I played Milton Keynes the day after that and it's just ... You know, I'm feeling the love. Any time you can come from where I come from — Brooklyn, New York, everybody knows the story — [and] come so far. It's not that it's that far, but to come overseas and have people embrace you the way I've been embraced thus far, it's just an amazing feeling."

When asked who he'd be open to collaborate with in the future, Jay said the dooor was open to everyone, including Noel. "I haven't spoken to him," Jay said. "I heard he was reaching out, but I haven't spoken to him."

"I don't bear any grudge, it's all good. I just believe in good music and bad music, I've always said that. You look at any interview from the beginning of time, I've always stated that I don't believe in the lines and classifications that people put music in so they can easily define it."

The best news from this interview seems to be that Jay-Z is open to recording a new album as soon as he wraps his current tour. The bad news is he's not willing to share any preliminary concepts or directions he wants to explore when he gets there.

"Well after the tour, I'm going back home and we'll look at it and see if I can start a project this year," he said. "I would love to do it, to be honest with you. It would be a great thing to do when I come home from tour, but it's vibe. I can't say, 'On this date this is going to happen.' If I get home and the vibe is right, it'll happen. If not, then top of next year."

"I can't give you the concepts or themes, but I've got a very clear direction of where I want to go with this one, and we'll see how it works."
