Jay-Z Blocks American Gangster From iTunes

Jay-Z's new album 'American Gangster' will only be available on CD. The hip-hop superstar has banned his record from being available on iTunes.

The rapper wants the album to be heard as a complete body of work.

In a statement, Jay-Z said "Let me make it clear - I don't have a problem with iTunes. It's just our interests were not in line. No one can dictate to an artist, any artist, how they should express themselves."

He has called the album 'a work of art".

'American Gangster' doubles as the soundtrack to the Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe movie of the same name.
