Steve Stoute Talks Writing His Book, The Gap's Blunder & Digital Music

This is the first installment of Javid's full length interview with Steve Stoute on his new book "The Tanning Of America". In this clip Steve gets into the writing process for the book which he says took him 3 years and talks about what "tanning" means to him. Steve also tells the story of how Jay-Z's famous "who's the best MC, Biggie, Jay-Z or Nas" lyric raised his stature and recalls the time LL Cool J used The Gap to make a commercial for FUBU. Finally Steve gives his thoughts on the digital music revolution explaining how Sony Muisic dropped the ball and what Jimmy Iovine saw in Steve Jobs' idea for iTunes.
