Jay-Z on Jonathan Ross 2008.06.27 (part 2)

[@palefaced1]

"the feeling of being broke ever again is a great motivator" Damn right J

[@Daniel-ye6cl]

actually i think Jay is brilliant but damn i hated this quote

[@vodkaburnseyes]

Never understood the Jay-Z/Beyonce thing but now I do. What a funny guy. Love that when he walks away he says 'hope you know I'm just taking the piss'. Bless him.

[@IneffableGump]

Fucking hell, do you want to also copy my youtube account also !

[@vodkaburnseyes]

Ineffable Gump erm what?

[@whysoserious212]

Kay G cook the man sum fuckin eggs bitch!

[@Mozza85]

He didnt say that. He said "I wasnt taking the piss, people say great things about you".

[@sojiadamo5212]

Kay G just wanting to know, is your point of view sexist. I mean is it fair to assume she had no running to do during their courtship or ypu feel it was all down to him......just asking giving our present social political confusion ....🤔

[@Daya1828]

"You outta line, brotha". LMBO

[@Daya1828]

Love the respect... "Ms. Beyonce Knowles is shooting a movie right now..."

[@mattiemclean9882]

The respect didn't last long tho did it?

[@louiseb6111]

I know this was YEARS ago but I still liked it

[@skulduggz9955]

this is amazing. its a master class on how to answer or not answer questions, maintain comedic value, work an audience and control an interview. Jay is awe inspiring.

[@dearmakeupdiary]

Jay-Z funny, smart and after all the talk... even handsome! :D :D

[@NiikiiGee]

ikr 😂

[@creep.6337]

Yes, he looks great here.just like anyone good and bad days.

[@YagamiRait0O]

I can see why beyonce marry this guy, sharp and funny

[@kaz4442]

Nigga got the whole world in his left nostril.

[@johnnybravo1402]

Yea you know this right??? 🤔🤔

[@MrCKCB]

He said taking the piss, never heard somebody from the U.S say that.

[@kage5584]

I never thought they didn't say that

[@MrCKCB]

well apart from him i really can't think of a time somebody has said that ?

[@kage5584]

"Be The Change You Want To See In The World." I know lots of people who say it. I don't know much who hasn't

[@MrCKCB]

well i do have Alzheimer's could be that.

[@MrCKCB]

Kage DC wow! thank you so much!

[@smithsoniansamurai7043]

He's very right about the reason most rap shows suck. Somebody rapping over a prerecorded track sounds terrible on stage, especially because the vocals usually end up drowned up by the instrumental track, and the vocals are the most important part. Every half-way successful rapper should get a backing band...You don't have to be Jay Z... ordinary rock bands can afford it and so can you.

[@enigmatic474]

Man, the fucking charisma and humour oozing out of jay... give that man a biscuit!

[@abetternigeria8945]

JayZ is so amazing n funny like his wife

[@haqu3]

I did not expect jay-z to be such a cool guy. This was a brill interview, thanks for the upload!

[@damiester1]

The least awkward interview Jay Z had. Johnathon Ross is a genius.

[@dimpleeyes]

I actually enjoyed this interview. Jay Z is actually very funny 8->

[@phraze410]

DimpleEyes He is more relaxed over seas it seems than at home

[@livvybeth2k187]

He's brilliant! So funny very intelligent!

[@tomm_m_m6378]

Imagine being in the same room as Will Smith and Jay Z at the same time so much greatness

[@MrMbwelwa]

this is of the most funniest interviewer in the game

[@JoUrlacher]

I love Jay-Z's dry sense of humor!

[@laali3627]

Im into art now loool this interview was great first time i seen it on telly had to check it out again. HOV

[@coconutpandanlatte]

I don't understand why people think their marriage was business planned If it was then why did they keep their marriage a secret for quite a long time?

[@eureka0521]

Or the fact Jay Z avoids talking about it like the plague lol "I like this set."

[@supermanhatesme]

eureka0521 Yeah if it was a publicity stunt they would talk about it all the time... some people are just idiots

[@zedooncadhz]

He seems really self conscious, i like that though because it suggests he's humble

[@gimmegimme5649]

I think I am in love with jay z 😍😍😍😍

[@skarsgard270]

Jay z is so funny dear god

[@jommy444444]

Thanks a million for putting this video up, I appreciate it. Not to be cheeky but if you have the video for his other interview on the show, could u upload that too? :P Didn't expect him to be so witty/funny

[@MRhappytoast]

i almost died when he said "well ricky said"

[@fayammu85]

I like the fact that he respects his family and keeps it private.. wish every celebrity will learn from him....

[@laali3627]

'i wasnt taking the piss people do say great things about you' looool despite the millions he is very human

[@IneffableGump]

At the end Jay Z walks off and explains to Jonathan not to take offence by the fat jokes, that he wasn't trying to take the piss..awww how kind was Jay to make sure he never hurt Johnathan's feelings..even though it was clear Ross was taking it as a joke

[@iaintmadatcha]

Aint no one in America fucking with johnathon Ross' interview game

[@evangeline_eve457]

He tries his best to not talk about beyonce in all his interviews

[@reach2prasanna]

Jay Z is good, he sold so many albums, a master of Double/Triple entendre, married to a successful beautiful woman, so he must actually be good right, lets give credit where it is due folks. On a different note, how lovely does Charlotte Church looks right

[@flipandbounce]

thanks very much. was the mumbling at the end

[@NickandFreddie]

What a guy, naturally funny!!! He’d make a great actor, his comic timing, which is obviously natural, is amazing

[@chickenpasty123]

I really loved Jay in this interview

[@CrookitLetta]

Hov is a great interview. Funny. I like watching his interviews almost as much as listening to his music.

[@MrTop3selected]

jay z must have been extra happy that day cos he was funnier and more jovial than usual

[@DeRothschild]

He's probably not high.

[@embe1]

Very smart guy in conversation, particularly given he's American

[@Jide-bq9yf]

The incomparable Jonathan Ross. So kind of Jay Z, to end on a compliment about his renowned charisma.

[@Farrahjessica]

Jay is so funny and charismatic who knew... the best interview I've ever watched I lol.

[@milah2010]

& where has this interview been all my life?!? :D

[@aleahy299]

Jay-z is hilairious "this is very poetic get ready"

[@noizefilms]

my dude. He said ''you got a MINUTE?'' and then he said ''it takes a SECOND'' MINUTE AND SECOND. extremely witty

[@Overyvonne]

jayz is hilarious hes very smart as well and sincere down to earth these iinterviews made me fall in love with him i already loved his music im irritated that people dont get his sarcastic humour now i know why beyonce loves him i think hes cute when he laughs and smiles aswell kudos jay z

[@abubakarrdaramy2844]

this brother is a boss

[@madman9326]

Love him

[@100PMoney]

Observe how well JayZ holds himself in an interview, the guy is a mastermind..

[@Diazreta]

This was a great episode of JR I love Jay-Z and Will Smith!!

[@IrresistableJoy]

They are fascinating together! i love Jay Z interviews hes funny

[@nolaa64]

This was awesome, both gents were funny:)

[@ProducShuns]

hahahah i love how he tried to make the last remark better at the end as he's walking off. "people do say great things about you" lol he's such a nice guy

[@Miidi8787]

:-D perfect interview.

[@Stueyy00]

he's incredibly sincere, what a great artist.

[@lipglozzz43]

omg Toby. You were doing the same thing as me...watching Jonathan Ross shows. At least I think you were...

[@scotty1029384756ify]

Jonathan: you have a wife now Jay: i like this set. its like art. im into art now. hhahahahh

[@DrackyA]

"people really do say great things about you, i wasnt taking the piss"

[@GORMLESSwonder]

So cool what he said at the end, great moment.

[@spidey707]

He's so adorable when he told the piano to cut ;) omfg i almost ccried

[@SavzMSC]

As he left you heard jay Z say 'takin the piss' thats great most yanks r like 'wtf is takin the piss' good man embracin the culture that accepted him

[@JJA90]

LOVE the bit where he says right at the end 'i wasnt taking the piss'... jay z the dude, much respect

[@Politoed89]

his face at 5:47 after he says "i've admired her from afar" is amazing lol

[@bigmassivebrid]

"I wasn't taking the piss" (says at the end) love it!!!

[@LouieGucciThat]

jay z is a very quick thinker, in which he merges the conversation in to art.. i respect him a bit more after this interview

[@beastlyonion]

6:20 *awkward pause* "dudnt work as good as tha blah blah blah" "you know what im sayin?" i woulda died lool

[@prnfl]

great interview

[@o.4597]

Wonder if the talk about music samples from old singers gave him the idea for Otis. Possible :)

[@badaman09]

we need this show back john is the best

[@Jenn84x]

@JMM5222 In part 1 he was talking about Ricky Gervais telling him about Jonathan's weight

[@KenDonMusicYT]

who said we needed to watch it? could it just possibly have interested us when we saw the link?

[@shaunamcintyre877]

he was being genuine when he said "people say great things about you" hear him as he walks he was like "im not takin the piss like"

[@netzajack]

He cringed on the DMX COMMENT

[@FreeToBeZii]

i watched because i was curious, not because Toby liked it and the link brought me here.

[@advers1078]

@STATUSthesleepers he says "I wasn't taking the piss" about when he says "people say great things about you" to Jonathan Ross, meaning he was being sincere, about people saying great things about Ross.

[@frarfarf]

wow, what a cool dude jay-z is... i was expecting him to be all hollywood millionaire gangsta, but he was just honest and straight up and real. To think he comes from about as far back as you can get, to be one of the most successful people on the planet, and he still doesn't have an attitude about himself - much respect

[@aaronwaugh8087]

its great to have a young black representing urban life with class

[@notoriusbigdan]

The video was uploaded two years ago, but the footage is from 2008, four years ago. Read the title bro. Jay-Z on Jonathan Ross 2008.06.27 (part 2)

[@Diamondxdudettex]

i love jay zz... he soo cooll bless himm.. =] soo funny never thought he'd b like tht..

[@blackcaseraz]

agreed very enjoyable to watch.

[@noizefilms]

i can explain the whole thing to you.. you got a minute?'' jay go ahead'' ross ''it takes a second'' jay people dont know how witty that was right there..

[@WoshJilliamson]

Love his laugh so much.

[@1989blindside]

Love it when he says brother. It's like "bwathaah"

[@Jakarta123]

4:30 he dodged the question so fast lol smart guy

[@love_music6505]

His personality is soo attractive 😍

[@ttbeabeyfan18]

jay z is an intelligent and business smart individual and is very funny.. people should take the time to actually realize that.

[@kidtweezy]

i like how he skips the question 'Your a happily married man now' 4:30

[@texaspete66]

ha ha I love the way Jay is just so softly spoken and calm making Ross look like a chump. JR: "Do you know that song" .... Jay-Z(shakes head): No. Dig the specs too !

[@sonny199]

Let’s give Jonathan Ross props, he’s a genius and a legendary TV host

[@MrJAMESBrexiteer]

jonathan ross the man, it aint the same now days on talk shows...... BRING BAK JONATHAN WOSS top man

[@jhnns1337]

whats the name of these glasses?

[@hannahw90hw]

why is the date toooootally backwards.... surely the year goes at the end..... or just leave the day and month out....just saying

[@RogerHeathers]

Aww, I love what he said at the end :P

[@IluvMJandBrunoMars]

@lovkpop it means that when he was talking to ricky bout Ross' weight, and then ross said if my behind looked like Beyonce's he would insure it, he was trying to say his behind does look like that-big.

[@EllieJayden]

looove him :D he is so nice

[@captainchaos2671]

good interview Jay z is a great guy

[@Tiannnnaa]

see how he skipped the question about his marriage "your an happily married man" "i like this set" hahahahahha :')!!

[@Uchechi_Hope]

i listen to everything too! i love coldplay

[@teeahtate]

Having talent, intelligence, and knowledge makes you attractive and beautiful.

[@LeanneMariie15]

the was he says at the end "I wasn't taking the piss, they really say great things about you!"

[@noizefilms]

''got a MINUTE?'' ''it takes a SECOND''

[@Afiarchives]

LOL that 'okay' @ 3:59 had me in stiches
