Headline: Jay-Z recalls reading at 12th grade level in sixth grade

Caption: In a CBS interview with Gayle King, the 99 Problems rapper recalled his advanced reading level in primary school. "Miss Loudon was my sixth-grade teacher. In the sixth grade, I was reading on a 12th-grade level," remembered the 53-year-old musician. "That excited me. 'Cause everyone was excited. And Miss Loudon, she was excited. It felt like me riding my bike at four, the way people reacted to that." Jay-Z's interview will highlight the hip-hop star's The Book of Hov exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library, which celebrates his three-decade career.
