lets not gloss over the fact that Nardwuar drove 6 hours to the event and back (12 hours total) to do a five minute interview. Dedication to the craft.
pemberton is only 4 hrs from Vancouver.. ive done the drive .. 2hr to Whistler.. another 2 hr to Pemberton.. but youre absolutely right about the dedication to the craft on Nardwuars part
Not AT ALL, JayZ actually has his guard completely down at first. You could tell Jay was entirely engaged and open they way he answered the first "who are you question" with a deep meaningful introspective thoughtful answer. And you think he had his guard up 🙄🤪 .. just terrible instincts. His guard went up ONLY after he makes himself vulnerable and gives such a revealing response and the clown Nardwuar answers back with a elementary school, tired, cliche, slightly mockingly level response of, "You are Jay-Z". 😒😑 ONLY THEN does Jay Z realize this clown had no real type of amazing interview skills whatsoever. Which ended up 100% correct, because Nardwuar had not a single thing even remotely interesting to say without his bag of gimmicky items he digs up from peoples past. Sooo many people conflate the reactions to artifacts Nardwuar finds to Nardwuar being some amazing interviewer. Literally ANYBODY alive can pull out obscure, sentimental items out of a bag and get the EXACT SAME reactions. Its NOT Nardwuar its Nardwuars goodie bag. Have him do a interview face to face without all the surprise gifts and you'd get EXACTLY what you got here a lame, uninteresting, flat, uneventful 4 min fizzle out
Probably because pharrell was too vague he probably said he’s gonna blow your mind and jay z probably thought he was gonna throw some mad type philosophy that why he went crazy with the first question it practically set the tone for the whole interview after that they definitely gotta do a redo
didn't rate jay z anyway but now I know he's got no personality he's dropped even lower, his wife is hot though, probably the only reason he's still relevant
Tbh, Jay-Z was pretty gracious in this interview. He seemed really excited when he found out he could keep the poster. He just seems stiff cuz he didn’t understand the intended atmosphere of Narduwar’s interviews.
The fact that Pharrell told Jay Z how knowledgeable Nardwuar is I kinda wished Nardwuar would have brought up some more unknown stuff that would have surprised Jay Z.
Feels like Nardwuar could have gone a little harder on this one. I was expecting "Jay-z do you recognize this?" and Nard pulling out the first pot Jay ever cooked crack in.
Lmfao! Right soon as he started to tell his life story i face palmed,i think pharrel should have told him its not an "ordinary" interview so just have fun a lil
It wasn't nardwaurs fault he had no prep time he had to drive 6 hours the same day he interview Pharrell, this was the first time I have ever seen him nervous.
there were no "wow" moments because nard had no real prep time. he got the call same day and had to drive 6 hours to jay. I'd like to see a redo of this and Drake (now that he's more established)
+Press Pause Productions - Man, I was JUUUST about to say the EXACT same thing My Man.. That Kinda sucked (NOT that Nard, NOR the interview sucked by ANY means though..!) that the interview was so VERY Short, & not very In-Depth comparatively to his other interviews (: /) (Some of which can last up to like 30 Mins or Longer!)... But with everyone else he interviews, he has plenty of time for his prep work & research (Of which he is Notably know for, & honesty probably the BEST interviewer of Artists/Entertainers ever BECAUSE of that fact!) Ive also considered the possibility that, BECAUSE Jay-Z is such a BIG Name artist (I would think ONE of the MOST Notable in Nards career, 'least that I KNOW of anywhoo...) that it's possible that ALOT of the information about his Past has been WELL "Controlled", & "Regulated" if you will (Understandably too, as he IS the Head of a Hip-Hop Empire, Dynasty, & is Himself a Hip-Hop Mogul, After all...) - rendering many of the various methods and avenues that Nard generally employs to gather his information fairly useless, you know what I mean..?? BUT, that could ALSO just be pure speculation as well (Though it SOUNDS probable..) One thing is for sure though, I WOULD absolutely LOVE to see a Nardwuar VS Jay-Z 2, where Nard is actually allowed his standard Prep/Research/"NSA-Level-Intel-Gathering"-Time... Fingers Crossed for that day (:D)!! Nevertheless, I LOVE Nardwuar, & THOROUGHLY respect his work too. He does something that NOONE else does, by showing us an obscure & relatively unknown side of the artists & Entertainers that we all love & look up to, by Venturing into the "Interviewing-Unknown", & totally Humanizing these people, & revealing them to be the relatable, everyday, sometimes SURPRISINGLY Normal people that they actually are, when the Veil of Media, Hollywood, Public Persona and Business is Pulled away!!
I appreciate your passion and your writing style; and your point as well. It's difficult to tell if you're an English as a first language speaker or otherwise and I could only guess what your education level may be... (My guess is a Canadian in the beginning of high school possibly an immigrant from a non English speaking country) But What's with The Random words for some reason being Capitalized!? That's weird Man!
(A late response I know) I completely agree with you on the lack of "wow" moments. However using no real prep time as an excuse... I don't know if that's fair. Maybe that's just me. Nardwuar says the Jay-Z interview is several months after the one with N.E.R.D and he even asks Pharrell to hook him up... if Nardwuar haven't done his research etc. by then, isn't it his own fault? Sure he might have gotten the call out of the blue, but at that stage shouldn't it be a question of Nardwuar just having his material ready in some box or w/e? Maybe I misunderstood something? Still though, much respect to Nardwuar and his research before these interviews.
They failed to connect, whether or not you think that it's Nardwaurs fault or Jay Zs. I think Nardwuar deserves a do over. Definitely a different setting.
It was a great interview Jay-Z found time at a busy festival so was a little anxious and Nardwar had to drive down at short notice so likely couldn't have done as much research as he would have liked and was probably a little tired.
Eminem prolly be half blinking with that twitch in his eye plus it might be the best interview, It'll be fun at the end doe when Nardwuar freezes 🤣🤣🤣💛💛🌎🌏🌍✈✈
Jay was wack af for doing him like that! You can look it up and find out that It was cut short cause Jay Z's "team" was saying he had to be somewhere else and was running behind. He had so much more shit in the basket of goods but Jay was on a "strict" time schedule!!!! Definitely wasn't Nardwuar's fault. That man never dissapoints. Pharrell was the most humble and respectful guest and truly appreciated the time and effort Nrdwur puts into his craft. Jay just thought he was above the goofy shit but didn't get that's just who he is...a damn level A detective lol
I think Jay is a pretty reserved dude, too. I've never seen him get worked up or hyped up in public. I think he's very careful about how he appears in public. Something he and Beyoncé have in common.
@oh no I said what I meant. They manage their public image very carefully, which in the age of the internet and TMZ is a smart thing to do if you want any privacy and a long career.
The Jay Z interview was like when a friend recomends a movie and tells you its a great movie then you go watch it and come out the theater wanting to tell your friend that he owes you the ticket money.
Nardwuar: Who are you? Jay-Z: I am a prolific young African American entrepreneur and speaker. I hail from the rough projects of Brooklyn, many people have not made it out from where I'm from and I just hope to express my determination and optimism through my music and talents. I am obliged at how you ask me this question as if you don't know who I am so I am going to keep listing off my accomplishments and my past because as I said I am a musician but not only that a humanitarian, a philanthropist if you will. However none the less I believe I am a great human being. Nardwuar: You're Jay-Z! Jay-Z: Oh yeah.. I thought you meant something else. Lmao
Jay-Z had his expectations so high for this interview that he completely misunderstood the "Who are you?" Lmao Goes on to try and make an answer like "They say I'm a young man who... who... uh... made that thing... uh... they say is called the American Dream."
lol you both missed the point. the point of nardwaur's interviewing style is to expose, and most people simply state their name after that question. jay z however thought he was so important that he spat off a bunch of sheepish garbage about how he came from nothing and now he is on top.
Sub Dork Productions sheepish garbage? everything he said was facts, the interview exposed how humble and appreciative jay is for being in a privileged position (American dream) because he also acknowledged how they are a lot of skilled people where he came from that are not there because they are not alive or got caught up and he could of ended up dead or in jail so he is happy for where he is right now, that is basically what he said in the beginning of the interview how is that sheepish?
They failed to relax and "go with the flow" as a result lacking the surprise essence. Pharrell over did the build up that made this interview as it is.
Najee Dunn Not necessarily. You have a lot more thought and conscious when you’re sober and you speak about things. When you’re high or drunk, saying the first thing that comes to mind isn’t always a good thing nor correct. If someone disrespects me when I’m drunk or high I’ll say fuck you or lash out. Sober me would shrug it off or just laugh at someone so stupid. Not sure where this notion comes from lol..
The blame is definitely on Pharrell for this one 😂 he hyped up Nardwuar in the wrong way I suppose. I'm guessing Jay was expecting some sort of philosophical shit judging by the first response and this was way before the internet blew up so he couldn't really search for it as quick.
Nah. It's solely on Nardwuar. If an interviewer struggles to get a good interview out of an extremely famous person who's clearly willing to give in depth answers, then the interviewer dropped the ball big time.
Bridge Water holy shit I was thinking the same thing. I got stuck here because I was trying to figure out if I’m getting old! I’ve never heard of this nardwar guy but he seems to have been around for a long time.
No Jay Z is extremely private and there arent many items to dig up from his past like many other artists. The interview was ruined because Nardwuar didnt have his usual box of gifts. Sooo many people conflate the reactions to artifacts Nardwuar finds to Nardwuar being some amazing interviewer. Literally ANYBODY alive can pull out obscure, sentimental items out of a bag and get the EXACT SAME reactions. Its NOT Nardwuar its Nardwuars goodie bag. Have him do a interview face to face without all the surprise gifts and you'd get EXACTLY what you got here a lame, uninteresting, flat, uneventful 4 min fizzle out
"Who are you?" "Huh....well I'm a street guy who lived the American dream and I " "No WHO are you?" "Oh, I'm Jay Z". Somebody hit some some good Sativa.....
Nardwuar should have dropped his bit at the beginning, and perhaps asked some questions about what growing up in Marcy during the eighties was like, maybe some lesser known emcees from the area. He was open to a deep discussion. And the question about Glastonbury, he cut Jay off as he was about to elaborate about the situation. Really not a great nardwuar interview, I know he had a very short notice, but he could have turned down the goofiness and take the fact that he is interviewing the most renowned rapper (alive) more seriously. Same with Nas.
Yep, I agree. Nardwuar's ritualistic commitment to his shtick was the first thing that made the interview go sour. He should've found a way to roll with the vibe Jay-Z had given with his first answer instead of making the whole thing drop dead like he did.
Jay-z seemed very uncomfortable in this interview but Nardwuar just kept pushing it, for the fun of it. At the end where Jay didn't want to say "Doo Doo" and Nard said "Almost Jay-z...", I just burst out laughing xD Good job as always Nardwuar!
Is it bad that I base celebrity's characters on how they react and interact with Nardwuar? Probably. Do I think it's a good indicator, probably more so than not.
jayz isnt used to being treated as a normal human. i think he was expecting nardwuar to worship him like most people do. looks like nardwuar had a bunch of other stuff to give him but it seems that he was only given 5 minutes by his holy grace. lame z
Nard is that nigga, but most hood dudes aren't used to such a character.. that was probably awkward as fuck for Jay.. it has nothing to do with arrogance.. you could see on his face that he was out of his element. .
Surprised to read people giving jay-z a hard time about this interview... Don't listen to the guys music, know fuck all about him, but he seemed fine to me.. Plenty kind and polite and seemingly happy.. I really don't get it
lets not gloss over the fact that Nardwuar drove 6 hours to the event and back (12 hours total) to do a five minute interview. Dedication to the craft.
pemberton is only 4 hrs from Vancouver.. ive done the drive .. 2hr to Whistler.. another 2 hr to Pemberton.. but youre absolutely right about the dedication to the craft on Nardwuars part
it’s also Jay Z
And Jay-Z was a prick
J ‘ Blaze tru
But anyone, not even a journalist would drive that far to interview Jay z
Nardwuar asks him "who are you?" And jay tells him his life story lol
You only live once, for crying out loud.
***** when you gonna realize how wack thst shit is? Smh...
shut up man .. u dont know shit fucker
We do. We know everything. Jay-Z told us.

"You are Jay-Z!"

I lost my shit at that 🤣
I was so cringed. 😂

Pharrell hyped up Nard so much Jay Z had his "impress me" guard up
Exactly

Pharrell hyped him so much that Jay z over did himself
exactly what happened in my opinion....and also why aren't there more likes on this comment
Possible. Ya.
Probably because pharrell was too vague he probably said he’s gonna blow your mind and jay z probably thought he was gonna throw some mad type philosophy that why he went crazy with the first question it practically set the tone for the whole interview after that they definitely gotta do a redo
Jay z got salty that NardwuarServiette called him out for stealing a song
didn't rate jay z anyway but now I know he's got no personality he's dropped even lower, his wife is hot though, probably the only reason he's still relevant
only time i ever saw nardwuar nervous.
Jay is nervous
8:05 lmao
Flecca Robinson it's probably because he's kinda unprepared.
Word!
He needed it!
Hell yea
He probably found out too much
This is like when you tell all your friends about your favorite movie and they just sit there saying "I dont get it" the whole time.

yeah...jay-z is a little too huge to do a nard interview but props to him for doin it. and to nardwuar o course.
Clancy Coburn How is he?
he is in that huge star machine and probably isnt used to reality.
+metalskim I agree, the setting and possibly the timing, a festival is hardly the best place to do a proper interview haha, too mental
you have to understand nardwuar is a very unusual interviewer, and he probably prefers chaotic settings and awkward situations.
4:28 *when the auto-tune accidentally kicks on*
wtf 😂 😂 😂 fr tho
this is hysteric
The exact moment mumble rap was invented
Dead...lmfao

lol jay thought this was gonna be a CNN type of interview
He lost him when Jay-Z introduced himself and he replied "You're Jay-Z" 😂
Yeah ikr..it all went downhill from there
He definitely did not it was a great interview from start to finish 🏁
Should've just let him talk. We would've had a great interview.
If he lost him, Jay Z would've simply walked away. Not everyone gets five minutes with a hip hop mogul.
It was a great interview Jay-Z found time at a busy festival so was a little anxious and Nardwar had to drive down at short notice so likely couldn't have done as much research as he would have liked and was probably a little tired.

"Doot Doot Da Loot Doot x2..." -"yeah" IM CRYINGGGGGGG
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watching it a second time, it's actually a fine interview. Jay-Z's polite, just not full of energy and clearly being hassled by someone off camera.
What Jay answered when he asked who he was, his answer was some real stuff. I liked that.
hate how the interviewer didn't acknowledge it
lol you both missed the point. the point of nardwaur's interviewing style is to expose, and most people simply state their name after that question. jay z however thought he was so important that he spat off a bunch of sheepish garbage about how he came from nothing and now he is on top.
Lol he said some basic ass cookie cutter shit. Sounds like something he'd rehearse for white folks.
Sub Dork Productions sheepish garbage? everything he said was facts, the interview exposed how humble and appreciative jay is for being in a privileged position (American dream) because he also acknowledged how they are a lot of skilled people where he came from that are not there because they are not alive or got caught up and he could of ended up dead or in jail so he is happy for where he is right now, that is basically what he said in the beginning of the interview how is that sheepish?
Sum Gai my reply to sub dork productions is for you aswell
They failed to relax and "go with the flow" as a result lacking the surprise essence. Pharrell over did the build up that made this interview as it is.
Jay-Z was born with a cigar in his hand
poor mama
Lmao
i think jay z was expecting a different interview by his in depth answers and classy cigar lol
Jay-z sounding like a nervous denzel washington.
i love 4:22 "Can i have it :D?" He sounded so excited haha.
For a man who has everything he sure loved that lol.
"fuck"
Jay Z is just an awkward dude off stage. This was pretty much what I expected him to be like. I enjoyed the interview.
I really want nardwaur to do another interview with jayz so bad
He was not as impressed with Nardwar as Pharrell was that was obvious.Then again Nard did not seem quite in top form.
Pharrelll's reaction to the interview is incredibly hilarious.
Where can I find his reaction?? lol
link to his reaction please?
Jay trying to remain and intellectual while tweaking off the pack had me dying 💀😂 now I know why he doesn't smoke anymore
jordan williams hov neva smokes. He says he seldomly smokes he a mathematician about his math (think it's a game) lyrics
It was a Tobacco cigar obviously
Tweaking off the pack? Its a cigar
A high person speaks a sober mind
Najee Dunn Not necessarily. You have a lot more thought and conscious when you’re sober and you speak about things. When you’re high or drunk, saying the first thing that comes to mind isn’t always a good thing nor correct. If someone disrespects me when I’m drunk or high I’ll say fuck you or lash out. Sober me would shrug it off or just laugh at someone so stupid. Not sure where this notion comes from lol..
jay-z in the beginning is me when i’m high as fuck ranting when nobody asked 🤣🤣🤣
fr😭😭
"I'm a young man"
Lol
No J.Z. you are not young
#SkullEmoji
JayZ was around 37 at that time which is still considered pretty young these days.
Age is relative
Forever young
Bruh chill lmao
2:11 I'm a god
Lmao
+Freddy Diamond hurry up with my damn croissants!
+Freddy Diamond IM DYING LOOOLOL
+Freddy Diamond W
Nah he was about to say I'm a guy who...
You can tell jay z probably never seen a nardwaur interview in his life hahaha
thats exactly how im seeing it... thats why jay didnt know how to respond to "doot doot da loot doot"...
The blame is definitely on Pharrell for this one 😂 he hyped up Nardwuar in the wrong way I suppose. I'm guessing Jay was expecting some sort of philosophical shit judging by the first response and this was way before the internet blew up so he couldn't really search for it as quick.
Nah. It's solely on Nardwuar. If an interviewer struggles to get a good interview out of an extremely famous person who's clearly willing to give in depth answers, then the interviewer dropped the ball big time.
Waiting for something else to pop up in my recommended so I can get off this binge. Uggggh
lol
Bridge Water holy shit I was thinking the same thing. I got stuck here because I was trying to figure out if I’m getting old! I’ve never heard of this nardwar guy but he seems to have been around for a long time.
The coolest thing about *JayZ*
Is that A- he's not *Lazy*
Wow! That rhymes. That's *Crazy* !
Nard: Doot doola doot do
Jay-Z: **z looking sheepishly clueless** Uhmm... Yeah! 😂
This man is one of the finest definitions as to why we shouldn't stunt our kids' curiosity.
Damn, Pharrel sabotaged the interview by cluing Jay in too much about Nard's interview style.
No Jay Z is extremely private and there arent many items to dig up from his past like many other artists. The interview was ruined because Nardwuar didnt have his usual box of gifts.
Sooo many people conflate the reactions to artifacts Nardwuar finds to Nardwuar being some amazing interviewer. Literally ANYBODY alive can pull out obscure, sentimental items out of a bag and get the EXACT SAME reactions. Its NOT Nardwuar its Nardwuars goodie bag. Have him do a interview face to face without all the surprise gifts and you'd get EXACTLY what you got here a lame, uninteresting, flat, uneventful 4 min fizzle out
Jay Z is the denzel washington of this Rap game
Chill jay z the will smith, nas is denzel
Denzel Washington is the Jay z of the acting game
@@NAMSOist will Smith is will Smith in the rap game lol
Timothy Triumph Will Smith is the Fresh Prince of the rap game
I get it it’s because he’s black
"Who are you?"
"Huh....well I'm a street guy who lived the American dream and I "
"No WHO are you?"
"Oh, I'm Jay Z".
Somebody hit some some good Sativa.....
orangevideo no he said “my name is Jay Z” there’s a difference
Nardwuar should have dropped his bit at the beginning, and perhaps asked some questions about what growing up in Marcy during the eighties was like, maybe some lesser known emcees from the area. He was open to a deep discussion. And the question about Glastonbury, he cut Jay off as he was about to elaborate about the situation. Really not a great nardwuar interview, I know he had a very short notice, but he could have turned down the goofiness and take the fact that he is interviewing the most renowned rapper (alive) more seriously. Same with Nas.
Yep, I agree. Nardwuar's ritualistic commitment to his shtick was the first thing that made the interview go sour. He should've found a way to roll with the vibe Jay-Z had given with his first answer instead of making the whole thing drop dead like he did.
Jay-z seemed very uncomfortable in this interview but Nardwuar just kept pushing it, for the fun of it. At the end where Jay didn't want to say "Doo Doo" and Nard said "Almost Jay-z...", I just burst out laughing xD Good job as always Nardwuar!
i just watched that part, Jay seemed distracted
I think Jay didn't know what he was supposed to say
he got exposed in a roundabout way
This is probably the worst interview he's ever done.. Lol.
Probably the only one he's done on half a day's notice. Not much time to do the deeper research Nardwuar is known for.
He wasn't given much
At least he got a free poster...
Blur straight bullied nardwuar and took his hat
also Sonic Youths guitarist broke a vinyl that Nardwuar brought for him
He seems nice but he takes himself way too seriously.
airlopez21 and thats the difference between triple figure millions and a job
...and that's why he's half a billionaire.
+Cris LeRoi You can be humble and still be a billionaire.
+Michael Ben tell us all about it, please?
+EsskimoColdBeats I don't think Warren Buffett has that type of ego and he's the second richest guy on the planet.
It's almost like Jay is an NFL player being forced to talk to the press and stretch out his thoughts to sound intelligent 😆
omg yes 🤣💯
Is it bad that I base celebrity's characters on how they react and interact with Nardwuar? Probably. Do I think it's a good indicator, probably more so than not.
That's a good observation
"Doot Do Da Loot Doot"
"... Yeah."
Jay-Z came tinking this was gonna be a in depth vocal interview
Jay seems like such a humble guy in person, man
Forral Canadian Customs need to chill
Straight facts
They be doing to much fr
@@FFhilly 💯
POLICE STATE
jayz isnt used to being treated as a normal human. i think he was expecting nardwuar to worship him like most people do. looks like nardwuar had a bunch of other stuff to give him but it seems that he was only given 5 minutes by his holy grace.
lame z
*Aka Gay-Z*
Nard is that nigga, but most hood dudes aren't used to such a character.. that was probably awkward as fuck for Jay.. it has nothing to do with arrogance.. you could see on his face that he was out of his element. .
williamgatesenson he probably had to go do rehearse for idk..the show that he flew to go do in another county?
AlaMoCiTyBoii-210 xX so edgy
His net worth half a billion he doesn't know how to adjust to normality
Surprised to read people giving jay-z a hard time about this interview... Don't listen to the guys music, know fuck all about him, but he seemed fine to me.. Plenty kind and polite and seemingly happy.. I really don't get it
He’s so right about Canadian customs, I’m Canadian and I’ve only had trouble coming back into Canada.
Man gave him an essay response for a three word question 😂🤣
Nardwaur: “Who are you?”
Jay-z: “-and I took that philosophically”
A Nardwuar Eminem interview would be interesting
If he had the time, I’m sure this would’ve been his best interview.
Nardwuar: You're a chimp
Joe Rogan: How did you know that?
"It's entirely possible"
Nardwuar: So, what can you tell me abou-
Joe Rogan: Have you ever tried DMT?
I feel like we already know a lot about Joe, but I’d tune into this convo.
Nard: Why are you Jay Z?
Jay Z: Who says I’m Jay Z?
Nard: You are Jay Z
I know Jay cursed Pharrell out for recommending this interview. 🙄🤣
jay-z autism reveal?
Funny thing is its 2019 and this my first time watching this interview. This shit was weird af!! 🤣🤣
Travon Mcgaughy same
Same
Same
2021 for me. I've watched all of Naurduar's interviews. Not sure why this took so long.
Jay z is jus awkward thats all
This dude just high af
He’s literally awkward in all his interviews 😅😂
@@VikingWolf745 real shit
He stutters, like wtf
Jay is too cool headed, he hid most of his reactions very well. Go back and watch his face after every question/reference, he slightly gives. 😂😂
when is Narduwar gonna interview Eminem? jesus, waaay overdue...
Eminem sucks
It*
I been smokin dank since like the 5th grade, call that shit Bobby Shmurda
I'm just joking
Em probably didn't wanna do it
