Wilma Lipp Meets Jay-Z

"I have listened to most of Jay-Z's CD's. I grew up with no popular culture to speak of. Jay-Z early in our conversation mentioned some rap song which I did not know. I told him that he "may lose me at times." A few moments later, I mentioned to him that I grew up debating with myself which Queen of the Night was the best in all the recordings I had on LP (I think there is no arguing - Wilma Lipp in the Karl Bohm recording with the Vienna Philharmonic of the early 1950's). Hearing this Jay-Z responded that I may lose him at times."
