Sean, Jay-Z, Hova- no matter how you know him- everyone, including Oprah can agree that this man has changed the face of Hip-hop.
Jay-Z took Oprah on a tour of where he grew up in, Brooklyn and then sat down with Queen of talk to tell her what it meant to have her in his hometown.
“The fact that your standing in Marcy projects is over whelming- it’s a sense of journey”
Jay-Z opened up about the pain of his father leaving home when he was 11, a factor in his drug dealing by the age of 13.
Oprah: did you ever do drugs when you were dealing?
JZ: nope- good dealers don’t do drugs- I got that from Scarface.
While the Best Rapper Alive remained fairly candid- the one subject that was off limits- wife Beyonce.
When you live your life so in the public- you need to separate from it, you need an escape from it. That’s the one thing you feel like you’re home.
Any appearance from Jay-Z wouldn’t be complete without some music- and Oprah wanted a lesson.
“little boy from Brooklyn
-you don’t need the hand
- make lemon pie
Jay-Z’s new album “The Blue Print 3” is in stores and online now.
Elvis-king of rock
MJ-king of pop
Aretha Franklin-queen of soul
James Brown-God father of soul
Tina Turner-Queen of rock
Madonna-Queen of pop
Jay-Z King of rap
hate if u want, it is what it is
that just means God of rapping.. like how Rakim called himself the God.. or maybe it has something to do with the Five percenters and half the rappers from new york are but what about them?? is wu-tang clan and rakim in the illuminati??? GTFO
I dont feel sorry for this man and he was a major force in changing hip hop to the worst. His sucess comes from the pain of others (drug dealing) and belittling women. According to him he is a pimp by blood, and I dont see any good in that. He preys on young talent. how could he be a mentor to Lebron James. Since when pimps are positive role models.Beyonce has become so trashy since she got with that perverte.how can he talk about RhiannaJay z sickens me hes a respectable parents worse nightmare
actually the only reason she did allow him was because the only way beyonce was going to do a interview with her was if oprah promised to allow jay-z have an interview.
LadySpringBunny u sound ridiculous. Drug dealers in the hood come a dyme a dozen he knows it was wrg and is doin more to make amends than most ppl will do to help the world n a life time Also pimp by blood isnt as literal as ur takin it, what rapper/ or guy in general doesnt refer to himself as a pimp u dingbat, stop being so analitical.
By the wayy even haters like the Game have to admit Jayz is at the for front of hiphop w/ greats like Nas, Tupac, Biggie, Wutang etc u obviously dont kno hiphop and ur Beyonce comment is wayy off base and i dont even like Beyonce. Trashy?? Did u see what she did at the awards for Taylor, how is she trashy, becuz she danced in a leotard if thats ur idea of trashy u must be a super prude, seriously! and the drug thing, no1 goes aww I wanna sell drugs 4 a living, its his past, u wanna air urs out??
i was wonderin if he was serious about wat he said on his album about havin oprah on the steps in his hood. ‘ve been lookin all over for that interview.
