Jay-Z is definitely doing it up, promoting his American Gangster album. He has the ability to switch the style up real quick, hitting up 106 & Park yesterday and doing an interview with Charlie Rose prior to that.
Check out Hov’s interview with Charlie Rose under the hood…

I like his album…I heard that he appeared on a millionaire&celebrity dating club meetrich.com with a personal account there. Is it real or just a rumor on internet?

Bahamamama-
I checked it out. It was cool. I LOVED the live instrumentation. I was quietly hoping they would release it as a “live” album – kinda like his unplugged joint.

he may be rich but what the ***** is he wearing there is nothing more silly than a grown ***** man dressing like some hood rat.. and please bfore all you stans get on me it might be fine for you men to dress like this but this look is not cool… did you ever see denzel dress like this in the movie he is trying to ride his album on the back off. i feel shame just looking at him… you look 100 times better in a suit j.

that was a pretty cool interview.. Charlie Rose really seems to ‘get it’/ I appreciated that. SMH at the first label as “Jay Z – grammy winner”!! WTF? Then later somebody pulled the cat aside who put that ish up there and musta pulled the belt out on him cause the second label was more accurate…
Trippin about envisioning Puffy running around his house in socks while music blaring!! He prolly really said that! HA!

Who gives a damn about Jay-Z old *****. He is not doing anything for black people. And he needs to dress and act his age. Why are people giving him so much respect. He has a son, and has totally denied it. The little boy looks just like him. He has that same JOE CAMEL FACE, AND THOSE BIG ***** LIPS!!! I am so sick of hearing people jock him, like he is the greatest rapper there is. If he were to ever have a battle rap with KRS-1, NAS, RAKIM, AND EVEN KANYE, they would blow him TOTALLY out of the water. He is truely lucky to be able to gain as much publicity that he does, because if it weren’t for Beyonc’e being his girlfriend, or TUPAC AND BIGGIE BEING DECEASED, *****ODY WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT HIS OLD, UN-EDUCATED, NON-SPEAKING CORRECT ENGLISH *****. GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the way he told his stories. Quite visual and very funny. Charlie Rose was very cool, too.

“i dont know wat the fuss is

HOVA DA GOD!

Jay-Z’s attire is cool he can’t play dress-up all the time. Caught his concert on VH1 last nite. The Dude is still hittin them hard. His concert was off the chain it was almost like a Jazz set or something and he definitely rocked it. Big ups to Jay-Z and his album “American Gangster”. My boy is starting a new trend in hip hop called “Grown Folks Rap”. If you don’t have the CD go cop it. It’s truly a cl*****ic and maybe some of his best work yet.

How backwards thinking are a lot of ppl here. This dude is helping to send poor kids to college with scholarships. He’s a black dude getting major paper & not getting locked up for dumb shyt & yall throw crazy hate at him. Who cares about how the dude looks cuz most of the chicks here would love for him to try to get at them ie Ms. Phe, but yall will support dudes like Baby whose Jay’s age. Baby whose from N.O. runs to Miami instead of helping to resurrect his own city.

@Bronx Brawler maybe he should pay for his girl to get a little education while he’s at it or better yet it wouldn’t hurt for he himself to get a degree or two. It’s really ridiculous how some people act like money is everything. Feed your brain fools and stop calling him God. He is not God and those that call him that need to be shamed.

All JAY-Z ever talks about is DRUGS, SEX AND THE STREETS!!! He is not really saying anthing at all. Let’s take his new song for example, “BLUE MAGIC”. What is that all about??? HEROIN. He absolutely glamorizes it. And this is something we need to hear??? Come on, What is this world coming to? Who wants there children to here that crap. You guys consider Jay-z, Hova-GOD?? There is only one God, and his son name is JESUS!!! You guys better wake up and realize that this is all apart of the NEW WORLD ORDER. TO brainwash our children, and corrupt there minds. Society has it all planned out. Have the black children listen to nothing but rap all day, and play basketball and video games. Keep the drugs in the community, and continue having our black people maintain a slave like mentality. BLACK PEOPLE WAKE UP!!!! HE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING THAT THE YOUNG GENERATION NEEDS TO HERE. HE IS DEFINITELY NOT A ROLE MODEL.

@ KC
the new song and cd is about the rise and fall of drug dealers and the drug game. maybe you should check it out b/4 determining that it will be the downfall of a civilization.

@ Notahater
LIKE I SAID!!! ALL he talks about is DRUGS, DRUGS, DRUGS! What part of that u don’t understand!!! It’s all apart of the NEW WORLD ORDER!!! And if you sale your soul to SATAN for a dollar, then he will grant you with all the riches and glory you want. That’s what this is all about, and IT IS REAL!!! LIKE I SAID, WAKE THE F— UP!!!!

Another reason why I LOVE this DUDE!!! Comes on Charlie Rose looking respectful. Not chained down, or iced out. Boy some of these CLOWN acts better smarten up and take note QUICK!!! VH1 @ 9pm last nite was CRAAAAAAAAZY!!!
As far as this “New World Order” concept… the only way folks will fall for the selling your soul to Satan mess, is if your mind is weak enough for you to do so. KC you should have watched his show last night on VH1. He spoke of how he went through ALL of the drug dealing and other mess, but he also spoke of all the negativity that surrounds that world — because of making the WRONG choice to get involved with the game from the start. It’s all on the album, and I’m sure if you listen to it you’ll wise up and realize there are REAL devils in the world, but Jay is not one of them.

Damn…the luv for THE CAMAL is desert hot up in here. Since when did THE CAMAL become the GOD MC? Since the death of a coulpe rappers, two to be exact!! Oh how quick we forget!! And furthermore, THE CAMAL isn’t even the greatest living MC! I know that belongs to a fellow Queensbridge rapper. But I know I’ll get run over coals and have venom spit in my face for sayin’ anything against THE CAMAL ,but hey, I’m not gay and I don’t give animals the same respect and dignity as human beings, nuch less a CAMAL. And before the stans come running to his defense atleast have the decency to wipe off THE CAMAL’S
