Video: Jay-Z on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross
It’s funny that you say that, I wasn’t gonna say that, but you know, cause I don’t really know you like that, but I seen, um, Ricky Ger, Ger, Gervais earlier, and … Nah Right?
Part 2 after the jump.
“No really, I wasn’t taking a piss, people say great things about you…”, after Jonathan practically crucified him with Beyoncé questions. Didn’t he mean taking the piss?
No thanks to Splash.

Why did that bitch miss jones get fired
June 28th, 2008 at 6:29 am
Idk, ummmmmmm. . .
She was a bitch??? [J/K]
June 28th, 2008 at 6:48 am
Cipha and rosenberg shouldve been the new morning show its hard the get a good morning show in nyc. Miss jones was a ignorant bitch and ed lover is corny, kiss wake up is a little too old school sometimes I’m forced to listen to z100
June 28th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Yea. I can’t wait for their show to air.
But you know they’re going to have to dumb it down.
If you listen to “Juan Epstein” you know they talk about how the idiots that listen to mainstream hip-hop radio [For the most part.] don’t get sarcasm or dry humor and have extremely short attention spans.
**Not that the show wont be hot regardless.

Are rocafella artist signed to roc nation
June 28th, 2008 at 7:16 am
No. I don’t believe so.
June 28th, 2008 at 7:19 am
I think he’s trying to sign a U.K. singer.
Media Takeout is calling her a jump off though.
June 28th, 2008 at 7:24 am
I just now read that Jay is signing Wayne to Roc Nation. [RUMOR]
June 28th, 2008 at 7:53 am

Probably the dumbest rumor ever spread. Who in their right mind would let that nigga Wayne out his deal at this point.
June 28th, 2008 at 9:08 am
this interview is kinda awkward and weird…..it must be tough being in those types of interviews when you’re a rapper….and even tho jay is that nigga, you can still see that they kinda was taking shots, jay stood his ground but came off kinda soft i dont know, but like i said it must be a real difficult thing to be a rapper or sombody in hiphop and go on these types of shows where its not a real rap audience and fully be yourself, you gotta almost adapt and bow to these crackers in order to get sales….i dont know, this shit had me laughing but jay just looked out of place and thirsty i dont know why…no hate
June 28th, 2008 at 9:11 am
i didnt mean SALES…..i ment *GET PLAY*

i was thinking the same thing. That’s the double edged sword of being successful, in order to continue to expand and grow in popularity you have to do bullshit like this. A bottom grade rapper would never have been invited to the show or might’ve said no to the interview.

hallelujah

LF: I went to see Wanted last night, it was a good movie… I just don’t understand the infatuation people have with Angelina Jolie, that bitch look fuckin spooky. Her lips looks inflated like a balloon, and she has a stare that’s creepy
June 28th, 2008 at 9:42 am
They really were overusing the “crowd laughter” sound effect on this interview.

It aint a effect
To be honest Jonathan was going light on Jay…Probably because its his first time on the show…
Next time Jay appears (if there IS a next time) it will be alot worse…
He’s the only dude I’ve seen repeatedly make Gordon Ramsay look stupid
June 28th, 2008 at 10:05 am
It’s a pre-recorded show so it ain’t live, but the audience is live while they are shootin it so there isn’t any fake laughter. Jay looked real goofy in that interview and he was pretty borin through most of it. He ain’t good at interviews he jus gives one word answers if he can get away with it - he always boring on radio too. Gonna watch glastonbury tonight and see if he’s more exciting on there.

I see eskay argrees on that XXL article where dude said basically “hop off andre 3000’s dick”…
I understand that 3 stacks is a lil hyped… but dre is top 5 southern artist of all time. Where he comes from has to be taken into account, this nigga is from the SOUTH. THE MOTHERFUCKING SOUTH.
Let them bamma’s from the south rep dre to the fullest, they have to.

June 28th, 2008 at 11:31 am
These Wayne stans are past the eminem stans on stanery… niggas are brigning up Wayne on anything hip hop related or even music in general
I can’t even enjoy some Big L throwbacks on youtube wit out reading ” yea L is nice, but yo Wayne is the GOAT yall true stories” smh
I hope Wayne matures his material and flow and wish him the best, but his fucking stans are super retarded ignorant belligerent niggers.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:37 am
the host is a huge fag, jay..the man as usual.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:44 am

this is true. a disturbing phenomenon indeed.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:48 am
What Jay is saying about the “fuck genres” “good music is music period”, is a very good look for HipHop, it validates hiphop as a legit artform not to be pigeonhold by being labled as only “black innercity music”
So even the haters have to agree that Jay is using his star/influence to stop these out of pocket crackers trying to marginalize hiphop as nigger nonsense.

That link to Jay and Ricky is awesome. Two out-and-out geniuses I never counted on seeing together!
June 28th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
that question about is beyonce’s bootay insured is some stupid shit. i have seen other jonathan ross interviews, and this was uncharacteristically awkward. he should know better than to ask something like that, that’s inappropriate. that being said, jay-z seemed very very uncomfortable and awkward himself.
