Somehow this mans' core just remains so inspiring. He kind of feels like a big uncle. Thanks Mr Carter.

[@VickySwearingen-te7dd]

Jay Z interview was BRILLIANT... ALL INTERVIEWS WERE GREAT❗❗❗🔥🔥🔥

[@KMEDDY-official]

God protect Hov🙏

[@Art_by_Nicole]

I was watching the interview with Jay-Z the whole time with a smile on my face; mr. Shawn Carter is an incredible sweet person!

[@BubBub-yc8qm]

It's so refreshing to watch and listen to a professional interviewer these days actually allow the subject to speak and not interrupt! 🙄..... Thanks Jay for being a real one from tha Brooklyn Bed!

[@waynedonald8122]

Morgan Freeman give them that serious look when ask about the half time show😂😂😂

[@janaenae1338]

I love you Jay!

[@DegameStone]

I could listen to Jay z like forever ❤❤💯💯🙏🙏

[@MobThe24]

Crazy how y'all used the Hov interview to market everything else. but, reupload it alone, we want it, everyone cool, but y'all sneaky with this

[@reviewsbymona4490]

The meaning of growth

[@ouranoswealthgroup7042]

That’s a whole shrine for ‘Jov’ 😂

[@social.b]

I Like Him Soooooooo Much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 Jay Z FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER FOREVER

[@brickflipper5273]

Biggie knew Jigga was on his way to takeover.

[@cleodmr1]

JZ is doing a lot to help those behind bars and those who aren't. Both are very important to the community. Kudos to you, Hove ❤❤❤❤

[@Prosperate]

I finally give jay z props after all these years he decided to help his community

[@ORNAMENTS_CLO]

He's been helping his community, you just don't hear about it, mate. You should Google the charitable things he does in and out Newyork

[@nonamewonder3117]

Love Jayz and family❤

[@eastsidebloody]

[@bernadettewoods504]

Awesome interview......💞💞

[@tonyknuckles125]

The greatest of all time Period

[@lkofie6670]

Oooo... WHAT a moment with Jay-Z. I mean, honestly, with this interview, I got to see him as a man versus "the rapper" or "the image." It's cute how he tells the story of how Blue actually got her name ESPECIALLY the way entertainment news would form their own theory, conclusions and display the final perception to the world BUT we heard it from the source himself 😊. Overall, I truly enjoyed listening to HIM tell his story. Hence, the questions were arranged to allow him to do just that versus the old, tired, superficial, and dead controversial questions that some interviewers tend to dwell on.

[@elizabethgates561]

You were paid for that or...

[@lkofie6670]

@elizabethgates561 I take it you're one of the people that I make reference to regarding dwelling on OLD propaganda and scandal. That's on you, and you're entitled to sound as upset and bitter as you're portraying yourself to be. Allow me to give an open and honest review per what's in front of me in this video, nothing more, nothing less.

[@djgenius626]

Humble king

[@cleodmr1]

I love Chris Martin, too!! ❤

[@selenagomezcartel]

He was a genius ♥

[@mannabuharikambai6524]

Great interviews

[@sunflowerjones1336]

This is so inspiring 🎉

[@Imustbefromanotherplanet]

We are here witnessing one of the World's greatest GENIUSES .Just like the people who were around in the World of Mansa Musa, Picasso, Van Gogh, Beethoven, Basquiat... In other words, any super famous genius in our history - where you could only imagine being back there in time to witness them in action - here we are living in the age of seeing first hand what people will be reading and talking about when we're long dead and gone from this Earth. We're living in history. WOW!!!

[@apeshitphilosophy5221]

Nah he’s not a genius, he’s talented at rap, which isn’t that hard to do - especially when it’s what you get paid to do. Pharrell is much more talented than him for example, he has written so many international pop hits, sings and produces them too

[@pamelamcdaniel1452]

Awesome Interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💙💙🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵HOV🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ouranoswealthgroup7042]

Jay is so reserved. It’s good to know where he gets it from. I’m lovin the vulnerable and humbled Jov cuz I don’t think public interviews and vulnerability is easy for him or his wife. They try 💜 but they don’t trust yall and it shows 😂

[@VicToR_Rider]

🙌

[@buzzardbeaterdon]

[@ovbreezy7]

Imagine having a chance to talk to Morgan Freeman, and you ask him about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.🙄

[@cymonehicks2386]

[@armanyperez9184]

Hey that's the Jay z I love the humble but smart I love you man I didn't mean to hate on your image I love a phrase that Martin Luther king said, if you can change some ones life in this world you have done your job , in this case I was brake by your message in music but build at the same time is a love and hate universe.

[@possessmpho1875]

So after all these years it's now revealed that the hand sign actually has nothing to do with a Illuminati evilness.

I'm glad he discussed the hand gesture so when folks start that mess that it is devil worshipping I'm going to be like, "you know that is a diamond sign." I should know better because I am in a sorority and the delta's through up the same sign. But folks be out here conspiracy theorizing...

[@elizabethgates561]

All of these comments are purchased. Thank you for the evidence

[@ThePrettySweet79]

Blasphemy! He is not Jehovah. And calling himself Hov and this installation/display of his book as though it is the Bible is grossly disrespectful.

[@MB-ng9ci]

He looks super old lol

[@zainabinti5170]
