Jay-Z is completely at ease after picking himself to perform the Super Bowl halftime show ... and he's not letting any outside noise put him under pressure.

We got Hov in New York City on Tuesday, and our photog asked him if he felt any pressure to deliver a top-notch performance at Super Bowl 61 when the big game rolls around in February.

Jay smiled, laughed, and told us there's no pressure involved ... even though millions of folks across the world will be tuning in.
