On “Renegade,” his 2001 collaboration with Eminem, Jay-Z asks, “Do you fools listen to music or just skim through it?” It’s a line he references while retracing the contours of his decades-long career during “Jay-Z in 8,” HBO’s eight-part docuseries in which he sits down with producer and industry legend Rick Rubin to dissect both hits and deep cuts from his discography.
