Over the past 15-plus years, few producers have made as much impact on the sound and aesthetic of rap as Just Blaze. Going all the way back to his earlier work as an in-house producer at Roc-A-Fella, working side-by-side with Jay Z and a young unknown Kanye West, Blaze has made his mark on the industry by creating fresh dynamic beats and crafting undeniably great songs for some of the biggest names in the game.

Late Saturday, with little to no provocation, Blaze decided to open up the floor to his followers on Twitter, who proceeded to ask the producer questions about a whole range of projects he's worked on throughout the years. Naturally, many people wanted to know about his work with Jay Z, and here are some of his more interesting responses to HOV-related queries.

There were also a number of random questions thrown into the mix, some about his run-ins with Damon Dash.
