Quote: "Most people don't want to look inside their self to see the pain they caused someone else, So They Walk Away"... smh some of the realest truth ever spoken.
I'm 41 and it beautiful to see a boy grow into a man and talk about the growth. I watched his journey from the beginning to now.🙏🏼🙏🏼 you have to turn dwn the bullshit and turn up the real shit at some point in your life. Evolve or die is the law of nature.
This was powerful, and a conversation many could learn from. Sometimes this could be labeled boring, because you are not willing to look that deep into your own truth. But looking into your own pain, sets you free.
I could see him leading a black man's conference. he's wealthy but he can identify with the struggle that the young black man is going through. using your success as a platform. I love Jay for that
thanks to the NY Times for having a good interviewer... great lengthy responses, GREAT questions. He allowed Jay to answer each question,very good work on both sides
It’s so sad that some people are upset that Jay is no longer immature, change in everyone at some point. You don’t need to be rich to change life happens. I appreciated the interview and thumbs up to the interviewer. ❤️✌🏽👆🏽People. We all have different opinions so we should respect each other’s option.
Jay Is That Dude, He's Been That Dude Since Day 1. The Most Influential, Intelligent, Hustler, Poet, And The List Goes On..Of Our Time! #MyFavoriteRapperStillTo ThisDay
pisces Lord of the sky That's Your Opinion. This Is Mine. Don't Get It Twisted Tupac Is My Fave Too. I'm Not About To Argue With You U. Tupac isn't here tho so u don't know what would it be like it he was still alive.
Queen Cee sorry no disrespect. I was a big fan of jayz during his rocafella days. But since Rocafella broke apart and jayz went completely solo, i looked at him differently. Sorry i dont mean to argue with you, i respect your opinion. I like jayz growth and maturity, but sometimes i feel like it isnt genuine. This interview was great. But jayz isnt someone i would trust like i would trust 2pac. 2pac had a whole lot of heart and love for his people.
A lot of you focus on all the wrong shit of an interview 🤦🏾♂️. As a 30 year old male I love to hear mature interviews from rap artist that came from the bottom. Rather than hearing them foolish interviews of young rappers glorifying all the violence they've done or drugs they take 🤷🏾♂️. Great interview from Jay the 🐐
khabeer Palmer name one of the young rappers that glorifyed violence or drugs in their interviews?? y’all are such hypocrites all that shit old rapper used to talk about and DID now all of a sudden it’s an issue. and you probably listen to future. probably the biggest drug addict popping right now lmao
khabeer Palmer Maybe I'll be more willing to hear, if you can tell me Jay Z has done to make change? O he gave some money to Red Cross, or should I say the pockets of the CEOs of Red Cross.
Essence Bennett I'm not talking about the music itself. That's entertainment. Just like movies is entertainment. But when it comes to interviews that's a chance to get to know an artist outside of the entertainment side of it. That's an opportunity for the fans to obtain more substance of the artist as a person. That's the point I'm trying to make. Nothing hypocritical about it.
Melanie Williams Name just one thing huh? How about owning Roc Nation and Tidal. Teaching these artists that it's not just about taking any deal to make money but getting a deal where you can own your masters so that your work can appreciate over the course of your life and not just for the moment. Why you think so many people is on the Roc Nation roster? How about the opportunities he gave to his friends like Emory and Ty Ty. Now they running their own businesses and giving opportunities to others. Is that not change?
I really enjoyed this interview. You really have to listen not to respond, but to UNDERSTAND to open your mind to other's views. He has made it to a place a lot of people, black or white, aspire to! He's one who is willing to tell you the thought process and habits it took to get there.
Even though I felt this interview was way too short. I took alot from this interview. I wish it was longer. Dude had great questions, and jay gave great answers.
Folks say this guy aint talking about nothing!! I bet if he was giving his opinion on how and why he hates the kardashians and how they are making Kayne crazy or him and Dame falling apart, or why he feels like Mase smashed Cam yall would think this was the best interview ever! Silly shallow minded folks! Learn something! Damn!
This is the problem with people. Y'all are so focused on this man sitting with his legs cross. can we please do better and listen to what is being said not seen .🤦🏾♂️
"You can't sacrifice others for your life." Man. I've never thought much of JZ other than highly respected but after that acknowledgement...You. Are. The. Man.
So you saying there's no room for Change. Forgiveness. Acknowledgement. Point is....he acknowledged the harm done to others and society for his own gain. I know guys his age that can't and won't ever own that kind of responsibility. There are tons more like him in this industry. Maybe they've owned their responsibility but HE did. And I appreciate it.
This is the future black man. Forget the hood, slang, toughness and all of that retarded idiocy. An articulate, successfull, thoughtful and intelligent man. Black men of America. Take heed. As many as possible of our next generation need to be like this. Maybe not as rich. But with Jay Z's mentality, you will get by incredibly well.
THE WAY HE DRESSED FOR THE INTERVIEW IS KEY HE KNEW WHAT TYPE OF INTERVIEW IT WOULD BE NOT A BIG CHAIN IN SIGHT IMAGINE A RAPPER IN MY DAY IN AGE WOULD OF WENT TO AN NY TIMES DRESSED UP..
Abe Lincoln you sound bitter. Maybe if more black people would try to be like jay instead of boosie badass. The world would be different. Quit hating because you're broke.
Legs crossed is a problem now? In my eyes that's a sign of ownership & it shows he's comfortable with who he is as a person. The problem now & days is people are so judgmental & don't have a clue who you really are. I've looked at gestures of how folks sit or talk & I've been judgemental as well but once you understand certain points in life & being comfortable with yourself as a person & not worrying about what others think you'll then understand the reason people do what they do.
Jay z is right his awareness of racial issues are spot on , and I like how he said the goal is not to be rich and famous, because they're other things that's worth while in life.
I love Jay. He is such an inspiration here to. I am so glad to see a BLACK MAN talk about emotions and vulnerability. I am especially happy to see the King of an entire genre of music be the one to do it.
I have always liked and respected this man. First it was about his music and lyrics. Later I learned of his business acumen. Now it’s his humility. Jay-Z is an amazing man. Nothing but love for him. Also big ups for quoting Kanye subtle way for showing respect. Amazing Man!
Skinimin Onochie an amazing man is someone who gives a kidney to save another, someone who helps because they want to, NOT donates! Not unless he donates it ALL!! That would be amazing! but.. highly unlikely! Which makes it as predictable as any other bullshit!
J takes things to a real that a lot of people can’t appreciate because they have not evolved yet, J and myself share the same zodiac sign, some of the things he’s talking about in this interview are some of the things I also believe.
Hearing him talk is amazing.. powerful to know quote on quote it comes from a minority.. being latino i think the only reason i was able to make it out was because of his music.. the goat.. no questions asked
Again, Dean Baquet has the affect of a therapist which is wonderful. This is a great interview and rare with regard to an in depth analysis and reflection of his life. The economic issues like the drug war and the effects on the community which includes the sale of drugs, being african american, therapy, politics, socioecoomic standing and the short and long term effects on African American men, rap's influence and the perception of the lyrics from various generations based on their upbringing and experiences, (Song Cry)past relationships and their influence on his career as well as his marriage, showing emotions in interpersonal relationships and in his marriage. There is so much that is covered in this interview
Wow Jay has become so emotionally mature and that is very attractive as a woman to see in a man... compassion. Some women dont appreciate compassion in a man especially a black man.
I must admit at first I didn't like J.z.i began to acknowledge him later in life. and to see him grow as a person. I was watching this video in my car and was applauding every sentence he made. he has become conscious and educated and always a genius. so big up your self J.Z.and stay discerning.
Those who call him ugly, don't you think it reveals your own ugliness? Just saying, he said he loves everybody and is all about positivity and you insult him. Beauty starts inside out.
"Never had reasonable doubt as a kid, always knew I wanted to b like Jay-Z/Got older n realized Shawn Carter is really ama-zing/"- NigerianKing #TEAMHOV #1FAN
I pray that our next generation of black people really; would take time to educate themselves. Because many that are commenting here is evident they are wired to be part of the problem not the solution. I’m proud of jay z for his amazing growth. Why are we a culture of people that can only embrace ignorance? Why can’t we learn to embrace what is positive? Lord please help this generation. When we look back into our history many of the the black people that stood on the front and advocated for equality were educated. Where would we be without them today?
This was a great and meaningful interview. I especially liked Jay's facial expression when Dean said he heard the lyrics different because of his age. Jay had that look like, "Damn. I never thought about it that way"...🍻 I also liked the part "What you lookin at?". MAN, I can't count how many times I've seen fights break out in my younger years over that. Sometimes me being the one asking that antagonizing question...💯
Life is circular. When he was struggling in the hood all he had was people, relationships. When he became rich he realized that the most important things where not the things he acquired but the people, relationships. So many people chase money only to realize that it's not the most important thing once they have it, but it sure makes life easier dealing with the everyday struggle of bills & the worry of $. Life is circular. Everything comes full circle.
A breath of fresh air. J is an icon--- a great role model for the younger generation of artists. I am proud to be a part of the generation of pioneers. I hope and pray the youth raise their awareness to the impact they have on those who consume their music. - Naazir El Neter Ra
People complaining about the audio, it's because this person is holding a phone or camera to a computer screen. The REAL interview is here: www.nytimes.com/video/t-magazine/100000005574909/jayz-interview.html
I see it's a lot of haters on here talking nonsense. If you hate him so much why watch a video on him for 30 minutes? SMH. I don't follow people I dislike.
Jay Z is one of the best examples of just how valid the theory of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs actually is and why so many AA people have a harder time gaining the economic freedom that allows them to self actualize the way Jay has. So many lessons in this talk! THANKS for sharing Shawn!
I am truly waiting for the day when most people focus and comment on what is right instead of what is wrong...or what can be picked apart. However... I won't hold my breath while waiting... because I will surely pass away. This was a great interview and would be to many... if the focus is to gain substance...or value while watching. #rockyroadproductionsllc
Most people walk away instead of facing the storm. The best place to be is within. Facing it. "Facing the person whom you have caused pain and having to deal with yourself" -Jay-Z. I hadn't seen any of his interviews since he released The Black Album. To me, you will forever be the greatest. Not because of talent but because of a mix of talent, content, and just sheer honesty. Fall 6 days a week, and get up on the 7th to try again.
Jay Z stays relevant because he's the man growing up with his market audience. If he was mumble rapping and auto tuning, he would just not be authentic and this is why his fans are his fans (at least the ones I think he really cares about). It's a relationship where he's always rapped about what was real to him and he had his way of telling the stories as well as the production behind him that fans could either understand, relate to, or fantasized about. On the west coast he was more popular than Nas in the late 90s but I love how he gave respect to him here and recognized that Nas actually had more in depth intellectual bars (because that's truth) and it shows he's very mature. Jayz - Still my hero to some degree, still can't top the dragon Bruce Lee, but you a living legend, so like you say lucky me
Quote: "Most people don't want to look inside their self to see the pain they caused someone else, So They Walk Away"... smh some of the realest truth ever spoken.
Miranda Brown Ive heard it better from others.
word...i know too many ppl like that....😒
I'm 41 and it beautiful to see a boy grow into a man and talk about the growth. I watched his journey from the beginning to now.🙏🏼🙏🏼 you have to turn dwn the bullshit and turn up the real shit at some point in your life. Evolve or die is the law of nature.
Strategic Investor True Story.
This was powerful, and a conversation many could learn from. Sometimes this could be labeled boring, because you are not willing to look that deep into your own truth. But looking into your own pain, sets you free.
When Jay is growing his hair......Its about to go down!!
TV SOUND SYSTEM ALBUM HAIR 🤗
I could see him leading a black man's conference. he's wealthy but he can identify with the struggle that the young black man is going through. using your success as a platform. I love Jay for that
thanks to the NY Times for having a good interviewer... great lengthy responses, GREAT questions. He allowed Jay to answer each question,very good work on both sides

TUPAC SHAKUR. Jay-Z is a corporate puppet. Jayz wouldn't exist if Pac was still alive.
pisces Lord of the sky That's Your Opinion. This Is Mine. Don't Get It Twisted Tupac Is My Fave Too. I'm Not About To Argue With You U. Tupac isn't here tho so u don't know what would it be like it he was still alive.

Man, I'm so proud of him. He comes from the same place we're from and look where he's now.
and u still on the corner, pause.
Even though I felt this interview was way too short. I took alot from this interview. I wish it was longer. Dude had great questions, and jay gave great answers.
I love the interviewer. He just wasn't asking questions for an article. He was really intrigued. Makes the conversation authentic.
Yooo this interview is craaaazy. It really spoke to my spirit. I was really feelin everything Jay was saying.
ustreet
Whoever keeps using the microwave in the background needs to be FIRED!
...such an intelligent man!! God bless you Mr. Carter!!

LOL! "Thank the Lord!"
TheFik76 Facts
Stop complaining there is no noise in the background if you pay attention
that beeping noise in the background made me run to my oven 2x knowing Damn well I'm not cooking nothing.
Jay-Z real deep and mature
Enjoyed the interview a great deal. He has evolved and so has his music, level of understanding, creativity, relationships, and mindset! ❤️🙏🏽
This is the problem with people. Y'all are so focused on this man sitting with his legs cross. can we please do better and listen to what is being said not seen .🤦🏾♂️
Cherletta Miller the unconscious will always have a problem. there's very little you can do for them. just be glad you are not one of them.
The goal for all of us in life it is not be to just successful and famous but to help others, to pull others from darkness.
Black Carrefour facts dog I hear u
Thank you
Black Carrefour just curious who is he helping ?
I am talking about us to help each others. If you understand my point and do you agree with me on this point?
jay-z dont give a shit about you...nor helping others.
"You can't sacrifice others for your life." Man. I've never thought much of JZ other than highly respected but after that acknowledgement...You. Are. The. Man.
So you saying there's no room for Change. Forgiveness. Acknowledgement. Point is....he acknowledged the harm done to others and society for his own gain.

Beautifully said! With this album Jay had people in their feelings heavy! Especially those who do the idiot shit he reference!

Abe Lincoln good for you. Nobody gives a flying fuck
Abe Lincoln you sound bitter. Maybe if more black people would try to be like jay instead of boosie badass. The world would be different. Quit hating because you're broke.
Conscious conversations
here before the racists show up
only astronaut what racists? Why would racists need to show up. It's people like you that keep racism alive.
Legs crossed is a problem now? In my eyes that's a sign of ownership & it shows he's comfortable with who he is as a person.

Raheem Gray facts! 👏🏽
Exactly it also says he's comfortable with what he is saying is well!
Jay z is right his awareness of racial issues are spot on , and I like how he said the goal is not to be rich and famous, because they're other things that's worth while in life.
Anyone else annoyed about the people talking in the background? -__-

Me too
The world needs to watch this interview
Tell the damn neighbors to keep it down WE GOT HOV OVER HERE!!!!!!!!!
Intelligent Black man.. I love it.
J takes things to a real that a lot of people can’t appreciate because they have not evolved yet, J and myself share the same zodiac sign, some of the things he’s talking about in this interview are some of the things I also believe.
Mark Walker jayz poes
All Jay want is you're money and blind alligence.
"Being rich without people would be very boring" -Hova 👏
I like how authentic and real he is.
Perception is key. Jay has changed his perception of life and the world around him....
Hearing him talk is amazing.. powerful to know quote on quote it comes from a minority.. being latino i think the only reason i was able to make it out was because of his music.. the goat.. no questions asked
"Do you wanna be a trend or Ralph Lauren" He dropping straight gems.
from marcy projects to ny, ny turned that shit worldwide fucking legend
This is on another level most broke MFS can't understand. They like he's not on a street corner.
The disrespectful people in the background making noise. Kick them OUT the room dammit smh

Excellent interview and knowledge from Jay-Z
Pre questions. Jay-Z knew the questions that the interviewer was going to ask
thats why its an interview not debate
Taylor Solution No it was a play. An interview is to investigate via questions the interviewee is not ready for.
Exactly. Staged and nothing more.
Best line "why you looking at me".. " U THINK I SEE U..!"😲💯💯🤑🤑
AR-MITTCH He means. Do you think I see the real you? The one you don't want me to see.
Those who call him ugly, don't you think it reveals your own ugliness? Just saying, he said he loves everybody and is all about positivity and you insult him. Beauty starts inside out.
at 3:35 whatever is in that microwave guys is f*cking ready !!! ... I'm trying to listen to this guy ... DAMN !!!
Sorin Ciobanu their doing arts and crafts in background...
yeahhh but still .. they could've keeping it down a bit ... just glad he went through with it...
Hov is very intelligent and articulate. Could see homie in politics in some shape/form one day
Jay Z is grown and he change for the better!!
I hear a microwave in the background.. I was trippn' for a min. I thought it was my microwave going off lol! but overall Dope interview tho!

DAKUSSA grow up
This was a great and meaningful interview. I especially liked Jay's facial expression when Dean said he heard the lyrics different because of his age. Jay had that look like, "Damn. I never thought about it that way"...🍻
I also liked the part "What you lookin at?". MAN, I can't count how many times I've seen fights break out in my younger years over that. Sometimes me being the one asking that antagonizing question...💯
Explaining the “Why you lookin at me?!” “Oh, I see you!” Brilliant.... love it!
Yes!! I felt that
Nyeeka Jean Joseph
Yeah, me too! If only our young can smell, eat and digest some of this food. Man...

at this point I need the whole unedited interview
Aphua Larbi true
Sociological perspective...i like this interview.
This is a great, inspiring, honest, and intelligent conversation. Thankyou Jay Z
walter smith yeah it’s awful! My ears!!!
ROYAL BABY YOUNGBLOOD To each his own. Good day to you.
Sorry, my response was for another’s comment on the sound quality only. This is actually a very good interview.

This interview is prolific. You can gain so much knowledge. They dropping jewels
Jus Peachy I'm listening to him now. Jay Z is a positive person who can give us all a positive perspective on life.
capable of expressing ideas with clarity and understanding . The mark of a brilliant individual. Thx for the good music JAY
Sound quality is trash! Nearly makes this unwatchable
Could of watched the Cam'ron interview with breakfast club but I dont regret my decision clicking this video. 📓📕
People complaining about the audio, it's because this person is holding a phone or camera to a computer screen.
The REAL interview is here:
www.nytimes.com/video/t-magazine/100000005574909/jayz-interview.html
30:18 Jay Z talks about his relationship with Kanye
Really?! Out of everything he discussed that 1min of tabloid shit is what you feel needs to be pointed out. smh
P Rose Exactly
Whoever did sound for this should never be hired again.
Minister Akins recorded with a cell phone smdh
3:21 into it and I’m blown. Very Refreshing 👏🏽👏🏽
I see it's a lot of haters on here talking nonsense. If you hate him so much why watch a video on him for 30 minutes? SMH. I don't follow people I dislike.
That’s a grown man there
BrownGirl BeautyCollective he’s nearly 50 I should hope so
BrownGirl BeautyCollective Relax! Jesus Christ just relax!
Oh 🤤 Jay working on another album. He ain't cut his hair. That's his ritual. I could be wrong though.
Good interview
Jay Z is one of the best examples of just how valid the theory of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs actually is and why so many AA people have a harder time gaining the economic freedom that allows them to self actualize the way Jay has. So many lessons in this talk! THANKS for sharing Shawn!
MakeWayForCJ "AA people" really???
+Ade JAG1 Really.
that was powerful - in america, it is what it is
I am truly waiting for the day when most people focus and comment on what is right instead of what is wrong...or what can be picked apart. However... I won't hold my breath while waiting... because I will surely pass away. This was a great interview and would be to many... if the focus is to gain substance...or value while watching. #rockyroadproductionsllc
Phenomenal. We all could use therapy.
Why can't everyone be the realest and the truest like HOV?!
V Lewis
dey caint...its just not possible...this is Hov!!
The comments........ so sad.
TahNatural 💯
this is who T.I. tries to be like
U rather be a Trend or u rather be Ralph Lauren - Jay-Z
Awesome interview. Although very irritated with the people talking in the background. I even heard a microwave going off, very distracting.
batonbeauty ok herb, type all you want. If you were in my face you wouldn’t dare talk to me like that.
Jay Z for President 2020 🤷🏾♂️🇺🇸
Great interview. Definitely worth a serious watch.
Amazing interview
Thank You Mr. Carter. I appreciate you taking the time for this interview. It was even better than the album!!!!!!
I enjoyed this interview 👏👏👏👏👏✔✔✔✔✔
Most people walk away instead of facing the storm. The best place to be is within. Facing it. "Facing the person whom you have caused pain and having to deal with yourself" -Jay-Z. I hadn't seen any of his interviews since he released The Black Album. To me, you will forever be the greatest. Not because of talent but because of a mix of talent, content, and just sheer honesty. Fall 6 days a week, and get up on the 7th to try again.
Beautiful interview but were y'all in a break room or something ? To much background noise. Y'all at a fucking coffee shop or something?
that was a good point about trump being the platform for us to have dialogue .
Gotta Love Jay-Z..
Thx for the censorship/concern for those who been through hurricane @33:52 , Your awareness is Golden

WTF with the microwave in the back
Jay Z stays relevant because he's the man growing up with his market audience. If he was mumble rapping and auto tuning, he would just not be authentic and this is why his fans are his fans (at least the ones I think he really cares about). It's a relationship where he's always rapped about what was real to him and he had his way of telling the stories as well as the production behind him that fans could either understand, relate to, or fantasized about. On the west coast he was more popular than Nas in the late 90s but I love how he gave respect to him here and recognized that Nas actually had more in depth intellectual bars (because that's truth) and it shows he's very mature. Jayz - Still my hero to some degree, still can't top the dragon Bruce Lee, but you a living legend, so like you say lucky me
Audio sounding like a telephone convo from the 1980's...
