Jay-Z plans international tour

As he stood on a stage celebrating the 10th anniversary of his debut album, Jay-Z announced plans for an international tour.

"There's a lot of places I haven't been," Jay-Z told the Associated Press. "They've heard my music but they've never really seen me perform live. ... This really makes me wanna go out and perform. I'm looking forward to going overseas."

Jay-Z said after 2003's "The Black Album" he would not make another record. However, that stance seems to have softened.

"I go back and forth with it," he told AP. "I believe the industry as a whole needs certain events to happen to sustain it and keep it alive. You need (Dr.) Dre albums, you need Eminem albums, you need 50 (Cent) albums, you need big artists, you need major events that happen. ... So when I look at it in those terms, I believe that an album is needed."
