    Greaty interview.. Jay Z is so talented in so many different areas.. well rounded in pop music, hip hop and rap.. and his beats are always brand new sounding….big talent…

  • xxhaimbondxx

    I have no idea what Jay-Z said.

  • UGLY-TRUTH

    YES. AMAZING. A RAPPER GETS A FULL HALF HOUR (ON A POLITICAL QUASI-NEWS/SATIRE SHOW) TO ESSENTIALLY ADDRESS THE NATION, AND WHAT IS DISCUSSED THE ENTIRE TIME?
    RAP MUSIC.

    OH WAIT, I FORGOT, LIKE ‘BEATSLOCKER’ SAYS ABOVE; JAY-Z DOES SHOW HIS ‘TALENT IN DIFFERENT AREAS’ BY MENTIONING POP AND HIP-HOP AS WELL. SO, NOT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. (I PROBABLY NEED TO POINT OUT I’M BEING SARCASTIC…)

    HOW IRONIC THAT WHEN (WHITE) BILL MOYERS COMES ON FOR THE NEXT 1/2 HOUR, WE ARE ENTREATED TO ONLY ACTUAL TIMELY DISCUSSION OF THE WORLD AND THE SITUATION WE ALL FIND OURSELVES IN. THEY DISCUSSED EVERYTHING EXCEPT RAP MUSIC. (‘JAY-Z’ HAD THAT TOPIC WELL COVERED.)

    I SUPPOSE I’M THE ONLY ONE WHO SEE’S THIS AS OBSCENE.

    (RESEARCH THE (VARIANTS OF) THE INTELLIGENCE GENE “A.S.P.M.”, OR WATCH THE BBC SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTARY “WHAT MAKES US HUMAN?” )

    IF THAT DOESN’T EXPLAIN WHY JAY-Z IS LIMITED IN HIS DISCOURSE
    AND ALSO WHY BILL MOYERS CAN DISCUSS EVERY TOPIC UNDER THE SUN, THEN YOU HAVEN’T UNDERSTOOD THE IMPLICATIONS OF A.S.P.M..

    JAY-Z HAD NO BUISNESS BEING ON THAT SHOW, TO MUTTER IRRELEVANCIES FOR HALF AN HOUR WASTING THE TIME OF THE THINKING WORLD.

    RAP MUSIC IS SOOO PRE-MILLENIUM.

  • UGLY-TRUTH

    DAMMIT – I FEEL BOTH WAYS. LOOK AT THAT BOOK OF JAY-Z’S LYRICS AND POETRY… MORE PROLIFIC THAN MOZART!

    COULD IT BE THAT THOSE >AREEVERY< SIDE OF EVERY ISSUE TO BE AS FAIR AS I CAN, JAY-Z SEEMS TO BE ONLY ‘HALF THE MAN HE COULD BE TO ME’.

    WHY DO WE (AS A SOCIETY) WORSHIP THOSE WHO DO THESE RELATIVELY SMALL LIFE ACHIEVEMENTS (MUTTERING INTO A MICROPHONE TO BACKGROUND MUSIC)

    WHILE IGNORING BLACK SCIENTISTS ETC., (HONESTLY TELL ME YOU KNOW THE NAME OF A SINGLE BLACK SCIENTIST, PROFESSOR, CONGRESSMAN,) THEY ARE THE ONES WHO SHOULD BE GETTING OUR ADULATION.

    NOT SOMEONE WHO FILLS A GIGANTIC BOOK WITH WORDS OF USING WOMEN SEXUALLY. MY GOD I FEEL LIKE I AM SAYING SOMETHING SO OBVIOUS – IT IS JUST SO SO SO, OBVIOUS, IS THIS REALLY THE WAY WE WANT THE WORLD?

  • UGLY-TRUTH

    I SHOULD ADD: A.S.P.M. IS A NEW GENE, BUT BLACK OR WHITE PEOPLE CAN HAVE IT IN ANY COMBINATION
    BUT !!! SOCIETY CAN ‘ARTIFICIALLY SELECT’ TRAITS RATHER THAN NATURE DOING SO, SO FOR A BLACK MAN WITH THE ANCESTRAL VARIANT TO BE A MILLIONAIRE WHILE A BLACK GENIUS SCIENTIST (NEW VARIANT) IS LIVING ON LESS THAN $100.

    WHITES DO IT THE OPPOSITE WAY, NEW A.S.P.M. (DOCTORS, SCIENTISTS)ARE ADORED, THE ONES WHITES LOOK UP TO AND ARE ‘SELECTING’ TRAITS FOR THE FUTURE GENERATION.

    THINK THIS THROUGH A THOUSAND YEARS. ONE GROUP SELECTING WHATS ‘LEGACY/LESS REFINED’, THE OTHER GROUP SELECTING WHAT IS ‘NEW/MORE REFINED’.

    IF SOCIETY WORSHIPS THE (RELATIVELY!) LESSER ACHIEVEMENTS AND SHOWS LIKE REALTIME HAVE ‘JAY-Z’s ON RATHER THAN CLARENCE THOMAS, THEN SOCIETY AT LARGE IS ‘SELECTING’ WHAT KIND OF FUTURE WE ‘WANT’ FOR BLACKS… WE NEED TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES NOW.

    ‘we can’t all be rappers & ballers’ BUT they are both freemasons (12.24) TRUE STORIES.

    Kinda disappointed in the interview…
    Jay-Z let Maher frame rap as a business that’s only concerned w/ boasting and polygamy. Maybe I’ll chalk it up to being nervous, but Jay didn’t seem as well versed in actual speech as he does in his lyrics.

    Not “hating”…just wish he put up a better defense of the art form

  • for me to know

    LMAO. yes “UGLY TRUTH” U are MORE THAN LIKELY the ONLY douchebag with their tampon shoved so far up their vagina that they saw this wonderful and entertaining interview as “obscene?” You mentioned the “irony” of it?? LMAO. The only irony here is the fact someone who tries so hard to portray superior intellect was surprised that the world’s most prolific rapper went on a talk show and TALKED ABOUT RAP??!?!?! LMFAO. I really hope someone else reads this and gets to appreciate how much of an ignorant, pompous, blowhard, douchebag you are. Lmao. For those of us with more than 4 active braincells it’s really simple brainchild:
    Rapper has new album coming out in a few weeks so said rapper goes on talkshow TO PROMOTE IT! lol.
    Now to address your more than obvious incinuation that Jay-Z stuck to this subject because he wasn’t intelligent enough to delve into anything besides his area of expertise i ask you these questions. How intelligent do you have to be to sit down face to face and discuss everything from music and politics to religion and world economy with NELSON MANDELA, KAVALI, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE MOTHAF***N UNITED NATIONS?!?!?! How intelligent do you have to be to successfully create, own, and operate over a dozen COMPLETELY DIFFERENT multimillion dollars business ventures? How intelligent do you have to be (moral issues of it aside) to successfully sell millions of dollars worth of illegal narcotics in one of the deadliest cities in America without being killed or arrested and then parlay that money into the upstart of YOUR OWN and eventually ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL record labels in the history of music?

  • for me to know

    LMAO. One of my favorite things to do in life is to call out azzholes like yourself for the bullshit they try to shovel and YOU SIR made it waaaaaaaaaaaay too easy. ty “ugly truth.” You are officially a moron.

  • for me to know

    AND ONE MORE THING…u yap ON AND ON about black scientists, doctors, and yadayadayada AND IN THE SAME RANT you mention rap being “pre millenium??” LMAO AGAIN! YOUR ATTITUDE ON RACE IS PRE MILLENIUM! who cares if hes black? hes contributed millions and millions AND MILLIONS of dollars to the improve the quality of life FOR MILLIONS of people across the ENTIRE WORLD. So why don’t you do a little research into that? seriously. thats not a rhetorical request. REALLY do some research into his background (and i dont mean wikipedia idiot) and theres a miniscule chance someone as dense as you may be enlightened. and i know a black lawyer (MY BROTHER) who idolizes and was inspired by Shawn Carter and tons of his lyrics. Even Bill addressed the hypocracy of most of the entertainment industry and you still dont understand why REAL PEOPLE are drawn to jay-z’s REAL LYRICS? LOL.

    “MINORITY REPORT” FEAT. NE-YO
    (referring to Katrina) and lots more introspective jay-z songs in his expansive catalog. research dummy.
    [Intro: News Excerpts]
    The damage here along the gulf coast is catastrophic.
    There’s a frantic effort under way tonight to find
    survivors. There are an uncounted number of the dead tonight…
    People are being forced to live like animals…
    We are desperate…
    No one says the federal government is doing a good job..
    And hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people…
    No water, I fought my country for years..
    We need help, we really need help..
    In Baghdad, they they drop, they air drop water, food to people..why cant they do that to their own people?
    The same idiots that can’t get water into a major American city in less than three days are trying to
    win a war…

    [Verse 1 - Jay-Z]
    People was poor before the hurricane came
    But the down pour poured is like when Mary J. sang
    Every day it rains, so every day the pain
    But ignored them, and showed em the risk was to blame
    For life is a chain, cause and effected
    Niggas off the chain because they affected
    It’s a dirty game so whatever is effective
    From weed to selling kane, gotta put that in effect
    Wouldn’t you loot, if you didn’t have the loot?
    Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof
    Helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop
    Through his telescopic lens but he didn’t scoop you
    The next five days, no help ensued
    They called you a refugee because you seek refuge
    The commander-in-chief just flew by
    Did he stop? No, he had a couple seats
    Just proved jet blue he’s not
    Jet flew by the spot
    What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped
    hu,That woulda been something to watch
    Helicopters doing fly-bys to take a couple of shots
    Couple of portraits then ignored ‘em
    He’d be just another bush surrounded by a couple orchids
    Poor kids just ’cause they were poor kids
    Left ‘em on they porches same old story in New Orleans
    Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porches
    MTV stopped by to film our fortresses
    We forget the unfortunate
    Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn’t give my time
    So in reality I didn’t give a dime, or a damn
    I just put my monies in the hands of the same people that left my people stranded
    Nothin’ but a bandit
    Left them folks abandoned
    Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid
    Can’t say we better off than we was before
    In synopsis this is my minority report
    Can’t say we better off than we was before
    In synopsis this is my minority report

    [Verse 2 - Ne-Yo]
    So many times I’m, covering my eyes
    Peeking through my fingers
    Tryin’ to hide my, frustration at the way that we treat
    (Seems like we don’t even care)
    Turn on the TV, seein’ the pain
    Sayin’ such a shame
    Then tryin’ to go on with my life
    Of that, I too, am guilty
    (Seems like we don’t even care)
    So we send a lil’ money, tell ‘em it’s alright
    To be able to sleep at night
    You will pay that price
    While some of these folks’ lost their whole life
    (Seems like we don’t even care)
    Now it wasn’t on the nightly news no more
    Suddenly it didn’t matter to you no more
    In the end almost nothing changed
    What the hell, what was that for?
    (Seems like we don’t even care)

  • Mike

    Bill Maher tried to discuss the artistic side of rap. Didn’t you hear him ask about the kyric “longest pussy in town” and try to find out from him what the uplifting message was? Jjayz just looked at him like a dear in the headlights.

    Jayz got rich selling shit to morons more ignorant than he is. He’s just a drug dealer, exxcept he’s selling ignorance to his community rather than heroin. Who can blame him? The can’t seem to get enough of it.

    There is nothing new abotu this: white people have been doing it for years. Clueless, redencks sell Sham-wows tand Popeil Pocket FGishermen to morons. Now Clueless black ghetto hacks sell rap CDs and Michael jackson memorabilia (turn on QVC) to equally ignorant assholes. Isn’t commerce a wonderful thing?

    ugly truth your retarded. Watch the mos def and bill maher episodes. Not every rapper knows nothing. Music is a way of life for many people so its much more then mumbling into a mic.theirs plenty rappers out their who know hella about politics, you sound like your just a narrow-minded, ignorant kid who dislikes rap. the world loves jay and other hip-hop artists so that’s why they get on these shows. just let it BE.
