This was great lmfaoooo.... "P.S. Your beautiful" hahaha and the Kanye part with Jason was CLASSIC!!! "I wanna be a rapper, like you..... Hoooollly Guacamole" hahahahahahaha
I don't know how many times I've watched it. Mike O'brien is a brilliant comedian. From last years of SNL years I remember keep getting back to few sketches: Grow a guy, Monster Pals, and this one (the Champ is his?), all of his ideas and weirdness. Such a talent. Him and Kyle Mooney have similar indie vibe.
This parody of the music biopic (oh look, the moment Jay Z met Kanye, oh it’s the moment he decided to call himself Jay Z) is actually more subtle and scarily accurate than it would have you believe
+Ramonerdna yeah i dont know why they didn't. they tried make her look like beyonce too with the hair blowing and stuff...it didn't fit with the rest of the skit.
right but part of the joke was that the people playing these rappers are white and look nothing like the people they are portraying, but if someone was actually going to play beyonce on the show she would be it, well now that maya rudolph is gone
As old as this skit is it is definitely one of the best ones ever made. The part with Beyonce hilarious. Kanye should come back to watch this he needs something to make him laugh.
jesus christ people black is a color, ofc gramatically "more black" isnt the best way to say it, but its still correct...as soon as someone whos not white is beign talked about you cant even make a perfectly reasonable comment...
They fired him from the cast. He's just writer now. Def a better cast member than kyle Mooney or any of the girls except for Kate McKinnon. Bad decisions IMO.
mikecantreed He was a writer before they added him to the cast, and he should stay a writer. He can be funny in these recorded videos, but as a regular cast member he sucked.
***** Because she's racist and needs to understand how ridiculous she is. Her music is mediocre but she would be more popular if she stopped misappropriating black culture.
@@GrundZrPr Actually Nas came for Bleek first lol. Bleek was on vacation celebrating his single success when he heard they were clowning him back at NY. When he started getting ready to clap back Hov told him to sit this one out and he took over. The rest is history.
I now understand why people get so upset when the film industry “gets it wrong”. This is another skit when I saw the title and three seconds in I was like “where’s Jay Pharoah” and then I was like “oh, okay”. They’re doing a good job at replacing the guy you’d expect with the guy you wouldn’t expect and then giving the expected guy three jokes. Classic SNL
Persona I don't want to call you stupid, but you clearly know nothing about the subject. They have done genetic tests on ancient mummies and found they are a mix of Arabic, East African and sub Saharan. Meaning they would have certainly had a black brown complexion. It is just european historians didn't want to admit that African races where superior to them so appropriated their achievements as white by claiming they were. Genetics don't make things up. Jesus was probably an Arabic looking person but Europeans changed his image to be a pale, blue eyed white guy with a six pack because they wanted their heroes to look like them. Napoleon was said to have destroyed all the Noses of the Sphinxes because they looked too African and didn't want the world to know this advance group of people where african. It took till 2005 for scientists to prove that Africans had armour and pottery well before Europeans in 48,000 bc because I'm the 1920s refused to accept Africans could be more advanced than white people in their history. This is the good thing about the information age, white lies can be disproved with science
***** Read book about genetics. Everyone who isn't black originates from just 100 people left Africa thousand of years ago and only changed colour by adapting to their surroundings. This is why if an African, who was never slave has a baby with any race their genes will always dominate. giving that baby curly hair and brown eyes. Where did you get your information from a nazi handbook you idiot. Where is your source for your information? I'm black and have been tested for my job in the city of London. I have an IQ 158 how is that possible you stupid person. If it were true what you were saying by do Black people now out perform white people in the UK? Britain has one the best education systems in the entire world how is this possible if your deluded belief is true?
***** Read some books about African history first you dumbass. African civilisation long before the rest of the world that can be proven with carbon dating. Africa had armour and pottery in 48,000 BC before any region on the planet. Racism meant people like you were not told anything about African history. International banks in 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s gave loans to African nations with more than four times the interest of the rest of the world because they were racist. I know you aren't smart so I will explain it. Africans pay more than 4 times more back to banks than rich countries like America, meaning they didn't have the money to develop their countries like the rest of the world and were being kept poor by these international banks. In 2000 world governments force these banks to cancelled this loans to African country because they knew they were keeping Africa poor and racist. Since they have cancelled the loans African countries have faster growing economies than most of the world. Have you even been to Africa? Go to Ghana and you will see a developed country where people speak 3 or 4 languages and you dare claim African people just have an IQ 80? I have travelled the world from America, Asia, Europe and Africa and I find you meet more multi-lingual people in Africa than the rest of the world. That is why Africans in a western culture are extremely well educated and intelligent.
"what are we doing eating these huge salads? let's go practice rapping!" LMAOOOOO
Jack Salonsky 🤣🤣🤣 That handshake after
Hail the great Serpent 666
I can’t decide if that or “ah rapping. To a rapper like me it’s top notch” is the best line
This is one of the most underrated SNL sketches. Absolute brilliant. Mike O'Brien was underutilized as a writer.
Hell yeah. I rate this sketch at an 8.5 but when I checked the SNL sketch rating chart they only had it at a 5.3. So underrated.
Couldn’t agree more!!! This is one of the sketches that I always come back and rewatch.
he was just Underutilized PERIOD. mans funny as hell
@@teriley123 5.3 is crazy. This sketch is brilliant.
@@RobGradyVO True. He never got the chance for his talent to really break through.
"Oh great , Nas" that line was delivered perfectly lmao
"Let's go practice rapping!" Might be one of the funniest things over heard
joe wisner I don’t get it
@Michael lol
Yeah it took me 50 rewatches and 3 years to appreciate that line, it's gold
Well....they got to practice, it makes perfect!
Yes i agree cracks me up every time lol
wow - too funny when Nas showed up "oh great Nas"
+Paul Otto Why would your dumb ass read the comment section before looking at the video? You tool. LMAO!
I think he may have been joking you insensitive piece of garbage.
oh shit NAS lmao
i almost peed
It's not "Nas", its fletcher
I lost it when I saw "NAS" hahaha
Exactly! lmao
alls I can think of is Schillinger from Oz
AsapNicky Bars Heck yeah. lol
Nappy Boy When all three of these guys auditioned for the roles of Jay Z, Kanye & NAS - I saw the extreme similarities too... LOL! 😂🤣
Word I died
"None of my problems involve the ladies!"
Best line. Lol
Just the government
“See ya Nas”’
“Bye Jay-Z”
That had me crying lol
Almost three years later and still one of the most underrated segments in recent years
jason sudeikis as kanye is beyond perfect
I would mistake him on the street
@@alexdawe-le4vj dopplegangers
Pharoah's impression of Jay Z keeps amazing me. At this point, I can't really hear the difference at all between them.
Also great sketch :)
"Hi, hello, can I talk, please?" xD
3:17 nobodys talkin about how perfect is this "Jay Z voice"??
Jay Pharoah nailed so many impressions. This was such a quick one, but so perfect.
@@josh0g Still don't know why he isn't still on the show. He's awesome!
@@stivaro wtf he left???
Cause Jay Pharoah has done his Jay-Z impression countless times on the show. Everyone already knows it's perfect.
@@Oj12323 He was fired. He hasn't been on the show in a few years.
That joke about how Kanye’s brain works has aged like a fine wine. 👌
Should we tell him guys?
@@davey70dave I think we should. It’s time.
overdue@@mikequinlivan8842
I could watch a full 2 hour documentary of this
Oh absolutely lmfao

Those lines are is so innocent and cute.
Only problem was that he was dress as 2010 Kanye, he should have been wear a polo and a backpack.

if the people who made Gods of Egypt made the Jay-Z story
+88steez Yes, I wonder? Good one!
thats why I will always gonna dislike American movies. thats why I prefer just the comedy movies.
the first time I saw that movie trailer, I know I not gonna watch it.
Good one
Ancient Egyptians were not black.

I read this like OneyPlays dialogue lmfao
I've come back to this video countless times and it's always hilarious
I lost it at Nas
I just lost it when the damn video started. Thats clearly not Jay Z.
Your so cute
"Let's go practice rapping", gets me all the time. LMFAO.
"OH GREAT, NAS"
HAHAHAHA OH FUCK THAT WAS FUNNY
This would be a perfect depiction of hollywood casting...if they had used a white blonde woman as Beyonce
+Ramonerdna yeah i dont know why they didn't. they tried make her look like beyonce too with the hair blowing and stuff...it didn't fit with the rest of the skit.
It fit in the random silliness.
right but part of the joke was that the people playing these rappers are white and look nothing like the people they are portraying, but if someone was actually going to play beyonce on the show she would be it, well now that maya rudolph is gone
lol yeah
facts Maya Rudolph
We need to crowdfund this movie
As old as this skit is it is definitely one of the best ones ever made. The part with Beyonce hilarious. Kanye should come back to watch this he needs something to make him laugh.
Jason sudeikis!!!!!
Looked so attractive!
Jay Z meets his Destiny.
Iann Green yes!
...'s child.

A white Jay-Z and a more black Beyonce xd
More black? Dark skinned is the accurate description.
C H she is more black, there is no “accurate description” of describing somebody with a darker skin tone
@@aubreygraham5821 they were supposed to say "darker". beyoncé is just as black as the actress when it comes to the actual race
jesus christ people black is a color, ofc gramatically "more black" isnt the best way to say it, but its still correct...as soon as someone whos not white is beign talked about you cant even make a perfectly reasonable comment...
This was hilarious! Mike O'Brien should do more skits! Also bring back Seven Minutes of Heaven.
They fired him from the cast. He's just writer now. Def a better cast member than kyle Mooney or any of the girls except for Kate McKinnon. Bad decisions IMO.

bigdc202 Like Al Franken back in the day.
I actually lost it when Jason came on as Kanye my fav former snl member playing my fav rapper. Great sketch
He looks like Mike Myers.
Falo lol
Yah Baby!
a brother from another suburb
I was gonna say this in an another comment
That comedian or the killer
"Kanye, your brain works like no one's I've ever met" XD
One of the best SNL sketches, without question
Jay Pharoah nailed it as always
Igloo Australia NEEDS to watch this.
Hater
***** Because she's racist and needs to understand how ridiculous she is. Her music is mediocre but she would be more popular if she stopped misappropriating black culture.
Did you seriously just call him a hater for telling to watch this video?
***** I'm sorry, should I not speak English?
Chris McDonald Thanks for the support, but I'm a girl- Ellys is a unisex name.
"i mean youre my best friend but that sounded really weird" lmao
Can we please get the Kanye story with Jason?!! Like please?!
i died when i heard NAS lmaooo
Even tho it’s a parody sketch. Nas was sitting quite in his corner and Jay Z came for him. Not the other way round.
Actually, Memphis Bleek came for Nas and Nas clapped back. After a while Jay-Z got involved, then he got Ethered.
@@GrundZrPr Actually Nas came for Bleek first lol. Bleek was on vacation celebrating his single success when he heard they were clowning him back at NY. When he started getting ready to clap back Hov told him to sit this one out and he took over. The rest is history.
Next production by Mike O'Brien: The Eminem Files (rated G). Ordered by Lifetime.
With Leslie Jones as Eminem?
Steve27775 Maddie Ziegler as Eminem. And Queen Latifa as Dr. Dre...
LOL. The Mike Tyson story with Pete Davidson as Mike Tyson.
Sharell J Oh yes, and it will feature a wet willy at some point very prominently.. xD
No eminem or white wannabe rappers. Totally bad idea.
Eminem is racist.
Jason Sudeikis is seriously hot in this skit.
Kanye is so sweet in this my heart melts
טוב לראות פה ישראלים
_”Cocaine for sale!”_ Lol
this like the only snl sketch in recent decades i've been able to laugh at lol "ahh rapping to a guy like me its top notch"
“Let’s go practice rapping!”🤣🤣🤣🤣
Weird thing, this would win an Oscar. Get it!
lost it at Kanye! LMAO
Lost it at Nas. Lmfao
Bro i seriously thought Jay-Z was black this entire time
lol guess the people making the Nina Simone Biopic got their inspiration from this
"Let's go practice rapping" 😂😂😂
Nas and Jay-Z had a better fight than Pacquaio and Mayweather.
"None of my problems involve the ladies" got me.
This sketch gotta be top 20 all time on SNL
"Ahh rapping.... To a rapper like me? It's top notch"
3:16 i hoped they'd refer at the black guy as "Vanilla Ice" 😂😂
“Oh, great. Nas.” 🤣
Basically the last samurai, last of the Mohicans, and many more
“Let’s go practice rapping!”
🤜🫷🫱🤛🤝…
They're making fun of lifetime biopics lol this was genius!!!😁😁😁😁
Melody Love or like when Egyptian people are played by Gerard Butler and Christian Bale #whitewashing
100% accurate
2:45 basically how it went down.
lol, this has more views than the truel Jay Z's biographies on youtube.

@@themysteriousretrogamer9655 what happened to him?
"that crossed a line & you know it" - lol
I can''t stop watching this help
They're doing this for real to Michael Jackson tho.
...probably because Jackson literally turned himself white.
Your mom
The Jay-Z Kanye conversation at breakfast is how it actually went down word for word
This aged perfectly
“ I hate when the police pull me over, they’re a nonstop nuisance to your homeboy Hova” 😂😭
I am fully and whole-heartedly convinced this is just a window to another reality.
This is awesome! More from Mike please!!
This is one of the best things to come from snl, why does it only have 2M views!?
This was a tight bit from beginning to end. I lost it when Nas showed up. :)
“Time out…this is silly “
Haha reminds me of the movie they made about Biggie lol
Lol right
"Kanye, where do you see yourself in five years."
H'oboy!
umm why was scarlett johansson not beyonce? 0/10
Now the rest of America knows how Asians feel when characters of Asian descent constantly get replaced by white actors on the silver screen

When Jay started rapping like the real Jay
Sudeikis as kanye killed me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jason looked dope as hell honestly.
I like the idea of portraying Jay-Z as "New York's quirkiest rapper."
Funny satire 'wink wink exodus'.
Yeah, NBC stuff almost never is. It's actually Canada's fault for censoring it. It's stupid, but you can find it on Global's website.
