it good not to forget where you come from it’s been confirmed he hasn’t forgotten and great respect to the people that paved the way for him and others well done fella
Have u ever watched his other interviews, or biographies? He's very humble. There's a lot of things HOV does behind the scenes that he doesn't seek getting credit for.
Are you crazy jay z music is not legendary nobody gonna remember his drug dealing lyrics period ...yeah he’s the best to put drug lyrics on vinyl ... Not the greatest not even close lil nigga learn hip hop
Such a proud moment!!! Been a fan since I was 12 years old!! The pure BLUEPRINT in hip hop music!! If your a true fan of his music, he literally gives you advice on how to navigate through hard times in your own life!! Extremely proud!!HOV!🙌🏾🙏🏾
This man is a class act …. All the way ! He kept bringing up the legends before him , using his time here to talk about the past ….. this dude is truly cut from a different cloth
"Mother America abandoned us & we were orphans in the ghetto" He's such an inspiration to the culture. Its been a blessing to grow up in his era of hip hop & for that I'm forever thankful. Continue to be great!
That is a fact. He has such a charismatic dry humor that works well with his personality. I noticed this years ago when he was on David Letterman’s show. They had this captivating chemistry as they went back and forth with their humor. I still watch it on UA-cam from time to time.
How can you not like jayz at this point with so much he's done for hiphop and achieved outside hiphop he's influence on other rappers wealth>rich he's a the true definition of black excellence Quotable line " A man who don't take care of his family can't be rich."
Such a stand up guy and extremely humble! The fact that he acknowledged these awesome rapper's and addressed them as his Hero's ,says a lot about his character! Congrats Brother

If the people around you only know,see or hear certain things... you'll only know, see,do those things. We all grew up and continue to live and be in our own little bubble. It's makes think the whole world is like that...it isn't. The is break out of that bubble and experience life and people in another way....Jay did.
I still listen to reasonable doubt like it just came out! That era of Brooklyn was so dope. Originally a Brooklyn girl, I can relate to the hustle and wanting to just make it. He lived in one of the worst projects back then (Marcy) he went beyond anyone's expectations!!! This is well deserved 👏🏿 👏🏿 and he stayed true to himself.
I'm from Brooklyn myself! you aint never lie! I still have my in my lifetime CD single from 1995. I remember seeing the original Rocafella promo Benz when I was a kid. We love hov!
Hes an orator. Hes greatness personified. Hes a black hero....❤ love u bro! (Yall dont even see how he spoke his whole career as his speech, no notes just a mind) #greatness.
I've got the pleasure to see the tail end of motown change up in the 70s, the birth of funk, the birth of hip hop, Michael jackson AND Prince, the creation of new Jack swing, the golden age of R&B......thus is full circle for GenX.....hip hop generation.
Congratulations to Jay Z whose music is so great and who never fail to recognize other artist, also who has shown excellent wisdom in diversifying his business interests. True inspiration to greatness!
Hov always embodied everything of a stand up guy. He is literally the James brown of my generation.That I’m black & im proud shit. Seeing his accomplishments literally makes you proud to come from poverty stricken neighborhoods that so many of us do bc when you see Hov win & not win with a cockiness about it but uplift you as well you know anything is possible with direction & a plan.
He's a Legend! An Icon to all! An Inspiration to the world and worthy of emulation. The world's greatest Jay Z. God bless him and increase him more in every areas of life. Respect 🙌🤭
I never really liked Jay Z cause I was such a big 2pac fan, and you know how that goes. But as time went by it was hard not to respect and appreciate Jay. Greatness 🐐

Yes Nas need his damn flowers but unfortunately the mess with kelis slowed him down!! Jay z has a queen who understands the assignment. Messing with messy hoes does damage progress😥🤷🏽♀️
I love Jayz he respect the ppls came before him and also how he let dame know how he appreciate him and how much talent he has, letting us know that is what a boss do show love to the industry.
Jay-z is such a wise man. There are so many celebrities that go to him for advice and pay homage. He is clearly so down to earth and very loyal. Congratulations JAY Z
I swear…I’m crying . Not only as a fan of the Greatest!… but as a fan of the culture.. our culture!!..a culture that was never accepted by the masses and now it’s a way of life on the whole planet. This started in the slumS of the Bronx. The man who cam from the bottom made it to the top of the top. I’m going to always give his flowers while he is here with us. We love you Hov
I gotta hand it to the man. He literally told the whole world what LL, KRS ONE, CHUCK D, RAKIM and BIG DADDY KANE mean to us! Respect

That's Right speak❤💚🖤 Shawn Carter
Facts!
JAY-Z MADE IT BIGGIE WOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOU JAY-Z
This is the most humble I’ve ever seen or heard Jay Z. Almost eerie hearing it. This dude is a national treasure!
Have u ever watched his other interviews, or biographies? He's very humble. There's a lot of things HOV does behind the scenes that he doesn't seek getting credit for.
It’s hard not to love Jay, he’s been my artist since 98 and that will never change.
I see what you did
Reasonable doubt came out in 96
"Anything "Hard knocked life" "you belong to the city" to name a few of his classics still I be listening to 2021.
Been mine since 96. NaS should be next
The character of a great human is...Giving honour to others while others are honouring you! Class act HOV!!!
Exactly!
THIS COMMENT HERE 🎯
The fact that he acknowledged Dame speaks volumes to his character
That part.
🎯
Crazy thing is he’s been doing that years but dame lovers will never admit that
Definitely Growth!!
He’d be less than honorable not too
Jay Z paying homage to Big Daddy Kane, KRS ONE, Rakim, Chuck D and LL Cool J, describing how each one of them specifically inspired him is dope shit.
They're inducted in his Hall of Fame
W O R D
word
I mean, SPECIFICALLY! The detail, man!
Word, if you a true hip hop head, you know
Crossed over to the other side, and he didn't even have to die.. He GOATED

Yooo I literally was thinking the same thought!!! But that's what someone like him is supposed to do. I N S P I R E ! !
BRILLIANT, MASTERFUL, GENIUS!!!! Congrats Mr. Carter! You're admired and appreciated by us ALL!!!!! Thank YOU!
I think we don't talk enough about how Jay-Z is funny. If that dude wasn't a rapper he could've been easy a great comedian.
I've been saying that for a looong time! Half the proof is in his lyrics, the other in interviews and various video footage
He got That average type of humor Not that funny bro
You forced it 🙄
That is a fact. He has such a charismatic dry humor that works well with his personality. I noticed this years ago when he was on David Letterman’s show. They had this captivating chemistry as they went back and forth with their humor. I still watch it on UA-cam from time to time.
Stop
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FACT THAT HE SALUTED THE HERO'S!!![999]
That is what made this special he acknowledged Rakim Krs Big Daddy Kane LL
Congrats to JZ and LL and all of their success! It’s nice to see successful black men👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's what expected of both,LL made Def Jam and was 17 years old when signed with label.
2 former Def Jam labelmates
It’s like we finally get to see the real Jay Z. No flossing, just a human being. I love it!
For the most part, I agree. He did refer to the former President as "Nigga, I'm Jordan..." 😂😂
So proud of you. I'm 67 and I love you and Beyonce. Hope to see you 2 one day.
Jay will always be one of my favorite Hip Hop artist..
this shit was madd emotional, dudes' been my hero since I was a little boy
How can you not like jayz at this point with so much he's done for hiphop and achieved outside hiphop he's influence on other rappers wealth>rich he's a the true definition of black excellence

I never knew that people actually loved him this much. Maybe I've been focusing on the haters too much
Where have you been? You must be a 2000s baby 🥴.
There is nothing wrong with you saying that. Because you're kicking real talk 👍
Same bro dude was vibing with the whole stadium🔥🔥
Huh?
