Who couldn't appreciate anything somebody like JayZ has to say? The man is legendary

[@garvingyima3900]

People didn't study when It was life and death.. Still listen to his lessons.. 500 million you can make it

[@junebug7138]

He makes me proud to have spent half my life in Brooklyn. He is Brooklyn, head to toe, and money and success have nothing to do with it. It's a vibe.

[@jman1562001]

From the PJs to a billionaire status. The real rags to riches story.

[@jasontoussaint1081]

I went from Marcy to Hollywood and back again

[@goldengilmaky6788]

You’ve got to love Jay Z. He’s done well in silence.

[@susanpatocka6098]

Jay is very talented 🙏🏼🎶♥️💪🏼

[@DamianBrown-iw1yp]

And committed

[@brickflipper5273]

Very humble man for someone worth a Billy.

[@streamdream4316]

Jay is aging backwards, and the knowledge he drops just gets greater with time. "Is there also a *new album* in the works?" is the question.

[@jimmycharlotin7050]

We need him don't get it twisted eventhough hustling was and it still is but the music propelled his career. It's the music that saved his life and I still got a feeling that he might be back in the booth

[@cleongriffin4146]

I just love me some JAY-Z ❤🎉🎉

[@sammymobs3889]

I can’t wait to go to the museum

[@luvinubak]

Great interview, I plan to get to the library before the exhibit last day 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@garvingyima3900]

King HOV.... You are the only one and man Who has completed schemes and can still schedule time to make more work done.. And he is polite... King HOV. Your heart is good.

[@allenprice1570]

A lot of us grow up listening to music in the house.

[@02nupe]

@Teralynncamp 🎯

[@monacannon6644]

Part 1 was excellent Gayle! I totally agree Jay-Z is just an all around talented genius on so many levels. He has alwalys been my favorite rapper. I can't wait for part 2!

[@taewilliams6594]

[@desthecapricorn]

I’m so proud of him black excellence for sure

[@PeteyMan]

[@TimeWatch5]

The middle to top hallways used to smell like popcorn in the late 90s

[@coolboyclick7486]

Man that exhibit was so dope I can’t wait to again I had a really fun time seeing jay z accolades

[@TheAlfredPlatform]

Props to CBS for allowing the anchor to wear his natural hair in braids and keep his job. Excellent interview.

[@joanneweiss3864]

Brooklyns Finest 🩷

[@EthanTremblay8178]

I don't think Gayle has ever listened to December 4th on the Black Album (or really listened to any of the tracks). Makes me wonder if she's listened to any of his albums 😅. I look forward to the interview though!

[@jman1562001]

Neither did Oprah but that ain't stop either of them from getting that interview.

[@gthang1213]

I love hats what kind of hat is he wearing ❤

[@azeezoyewale3782]

[@eggsylolipop2469]

"Who is he?" "Who are you?" "Me Paul"

[@jamaqnel3442]

[@mr.worldfree3333]

[@adrianbreland7174]

[@Nimbi86]

[@Melztweets]

You couldn’t even get off the train at the Marcy stop. It was crazy there.

[@IamNOTthedad]

Cough Up a Lung Where I’m From, Marcy Son

[@parkwayp9709]

Is she quoting what he said on his album?

[@ezlypist]

Thank god for his parents 😂✌️

[@henderyjem6881]

Why does he have bajskorvar as hair?

[@VincentGordon-ev6sy]

Conservative like you are young man!!! your hair should be the same! It's all good brother

[@zeek-mn8kt]

does jay z go back to marcy often?

[@HaniAli209]

Why is it that if I say the same exact words as Jay Z, worldwide alarms will turn on?

[@djgreenhornet2892]

🫡

[@delbarfield8624]

Tea Pee Camp . Buffalo NY

[@b.unicornette7734]

Wow Jay- z's actually very smart. At 4 years old learning to ride a bike... that's unusualy good for a kid that age.

[@ld101]

sound like nate should have handled that interview😅

[@rustyshackleford706]

Jay Really has locks now..

[@adrianbreland7174]

He should invest some money in Marcy Projects My Nana lived at 542 Marcy

[@hilbillie]

Why did he look so different?

[@jman1562001]

He older, jay is over 50, plus decided to grow his hair out.

[@anthonyi7834]

Lookin rich and comfortable lol

[@waltlikka]

A Black male news anchor with BRAIDS!! I love to see it!

[@deannamadrigal7503]

You rock it Gayle Can't wait ☕️😊 Much better than Hoda and Jada Pinkett Smith

[@50000DSI]

~🦾🏆👑

[@thuraya53]

CBS gonna milk this.

[@trapmuzik6708]

they should be ashamed of themselves they too big for that

[@OperationChicago]

That's another lie, ask Nas, they said they raned him out of there but OK

[@B-Easy78]

I’m honestly tired of all the carrying on about Beyoncé and Jay Z. I think they’re both amazing, but geez! Live and let live!

[@clockwork9825]

This man hasn’t done an interview in yearssssss. 👀

[@webertmathieu5427]

Next up- Surviving Jay-Z.

[@clockwork9825]

Jay is too smart for that. 👀👀 how about surviving a white singer?

[@horizonhopeharlow]

GAYZ IS BOULE...Look Up BOULE. Nuff said sheeple

[@dre9594]

That is not where it happen at its just a sign how about going to the actual buiiding

[@tristalacour2492]

What a useless interview?! We know this story from December 4th of The Black Album 🙄 nice going, Gayle!

[@nicolejohnson4989]

Still no answer on that DNA testing inquiry for that daughter that looks exactly like him?

[@ricardohaynes4339]

TERRIBLE TIMING TO DROP THIS

[@djefardeur7958]

ACHIEVER

[@Saveurself365]

She seem not interested in nothing he's talking about

[@Ufosarereall]

Theres nothing anyone can tell you how to get 500k vs actually getting it. I'll show you what I can do with it then I'll end up having lunch with him.

[@NC-bm3uy]

Can't stand him he's creepy

[@user-fduiwxisud]

If he was such a great person, why doesn't he take a DNA test to prove whether or not the young man Rhymir Satterwaite is his son?

[@blackqueen164]

Also some shady gaslighting hater, never fails..

[@robertalcantara810]

Marcy building 53 3rd floor

[@philcollins9517]

He is no different than anyone else, he was just in the right place at the right time.

[@ddoubleu170]

Please 😂 He was doing the right things at the right time.

[@JohnKing-jz9zb]

Y’all love being on 2.5 billion dollars Hov nuts

[@ORNAMENTS_CLO]

He's different. You talking nonsense, he was doing the right things at the wrong time
