He was also ahead of his time for the future he predicted on Vol. 3... Life and Times of S. Carter. DEC 1999!!! Genius The Intro just him talking, he made a statement that shows the last of that era at it's finest!!!
Jay z was piss because he came to rap city to promote his first album reasonable doubt and Joe Clair was clearly not interested was more into foxy but jay-z keep his cool
why do peeps think Jay was being shy? he guy interviewing them was just trying to hit on Foxy Brown.. talking bout "I can give out flyers". Jay was waiting for him to say something intelligent.. they weren't on the same wavelength
Love Foxy's vibe during this interview. I wish she was like this behind the scenes !!! . . . I think it would be a great business move for Foxy brown to approve a Behind the music episode for her. That would give her career so much life !!!!!
She likes punching out them words in a deep raspy voice and it worked because in her prime you felt every word she say. She had a BIG kinda flow going on. Her second album she went for a more natural voice and everybody complained she was copying Kim for going natural with the voice. That’s why she reverted back to the deep one on her third album. She don’t talk like this no more though after she suffered from hearing loss. Her voice is shaky now and more high pitched.
I always thought it was weird. Even live, she would rap the songs in a high voice. And the whole second album was the high voice. So it was weird as hell. And then was she even writing the rhymes??
@@DJRashadHayes yes she always wrote. She wrote half her first album and jay wrote the other half which was her commercial stuff which was forced by DefJam because she was underage and they weren’t comfortable letting a 15yr old write a whole album. She wrote her whole second album with Jay co-writing on four songs once again her commercial stuff (hot spot, i can’t, job n Bonnie and Clyde), finally her third was all her.
The amount of hate Afro-Americans have for Jay is unhealthy. I'm not a supporter of this brother, however, I'm not going to accuse this man of practicing Ephebophilia. I need some receipts along with Foxy admitting Jay slept with her when she was 16. But damn, this witch hunt of our own people need to stop.
blackplaque617 Witch-hunt of our own people???Molestation,rape and underage sex is prevalent in the black community and this issue has always been swept under the rug.I don’t know that many black people that hasn’t been or knows someone that hasn’t been molested by family members or raped by their own kind,I for one am a victim of both.My brother and sister in law both tragically committed suicide age 28 and 39 respectively after a lifetime battle with drugs stemming from sex abuse by several family members when they were kids and the mom knew.2 of my best friends were sexually abused by their own fathers and their mom once more knew.People such as Oprah Winfrey,Vanessa Williams,Whitney Houston to name a few have been sexually abused by members of their family and mind you,the perpetrators are not always men.The members of b2k,abused by Chris Stokes and not much mention about it and people such as Marvin Gaye and Tyga had underage girlfriends and let’s not forget Nicki Minaj brother being a pedophile and how about Afrika Bambaataa???🤔🤨Need I say more😏Pointing finger at White people deviant ways is not gonna change the fact that that sex abuse is also very problematic and systematically ignored within our own community an I could go on........
Son said he was coming for the game and did just that he set the mark for going independent when the labels was dissing him that's why so many rappers was hating on son they were slaves to the label not making what they were worth..Son went another route and became successful...I remember back in Marcy alot of people was doubting son but as soon as he got on everyone either had their hands out or was trying to plot on Jigga

Oh lort... You can tell jay z & foxy was going through something again... Anyway... She stayed in the game & that's what i love . Even though Lil'Kim & foxy had beef because of that copy cat shyt..., they're still my two favorites . Lil'Kim comes first & foxy comes after... Ahhh... 🏰👸🐝

For all you millennials, this “interviewer” is Joe Clair from the legendary Rap City music show. Please do your research and give credit to the people who helped make hip hop the institution it is today. DJs, VJs, hip hop writers, editors, magazine publishers, and everyone in the music industry.
@kakimanzi1 ....because he was covering his face by hiding behind his hands for almost the whole interview. His body language was very reserved....in the years that followed, he became much more extroverted, obviously.
96, end of true good rap, and I believe it started when they did rap music for money, instead of the art of it, because when you do art, you do great things wich only true lovers of that art can notice and admire entirely... when you do rap for money, you do things that you know our society are going to buy, and our society don't know shit about HIPHOP... I love Jay-Z, for he is a great rapper, I'm just trying to clear a point here
Dmx,eminem,Nas,Mos def,eve,Common,the Lox, etc...They talked about multiple topics.I get what your saying,but there was still alot to choose from even when the whole flashy thing took off
To that dude Dwn there tlkn ish say. Jay-z was foxy side kick that's not true jay-z was with rocks fellas and before that he had ties with biggie nd tupac an the mob he was ment to go this far longest lasting rap career and still grown respect to Sean carter
@bwoyyy of corse they did, they were a couple. That's been well documented lol. She was also 16 in this interview & he was 26..so think about that too.. -_-
🦊 smart lady knows about music and explains it well on how it was back then , Jay was sly and crafty back then ! Dam jay was born to be in this game and Elite high ullimmantte ! Jay is all about the money and selling out big time ! Stayed quite like he was not in interview at all !!!!!! Dangerous man
Wow. I'm speechless. Jay Z said in "1996" music was becoming a business and he actually prevailed off the music business. Way ahead of his time.

Jay had the same vibe about him even before Reasonable Doubt

why do peeps think Jay was being shy? he guy interviewing them was just trying to hit on Foxy Brown.. talking bout "I can give out flyers". Jay was waiting for him to say something intelligent.. they weren't on the same wavelength
Probably because he knew JayZ was her pimp. He pimped her out.
Man foxy was gorgeous
Droppin Jewels still is
Droppin Jewels she gained weight.
kabeyz doesn’t matter, she is still beautiful.
this is when jay had the vision. evidently he was very optimistic

how was she like behind the scenes?
He actually said "I would hope so.." cause Joe said he would rather watch Foxy than to watch the male rappers.
Lmao I caught that
Right... Caught it...😂😂😂
Jay-z looks SO irritated and annoyed with this interviewer. Probably thinks he's a clown. Jay looks controlling too/jealous type also 😬😯😐.
They wasn’t ever a couple so wtf are you talking about 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Except the controlling/jealous.
Now people are gonna come back to this video for other reasons .

Foxy brown was really pretty though.
You can tell he got nervous because Hov and Foxy both caught on to the fact he was flirting and he tried to play it off
Pindar Yahashua what part
You came to the newest comments on purpose, didn't you?Me too. We know why.

"Swag" is the word she was looking for but she didnt know it back then lol
Yo Jay Z already knew what was coming man
Jay-z had the true drug dealer demeanor flashing the all gold Big Rolex. Thinking of how he is going to someday take over the music industry!

Foxy was beautiful!
Aquarius just sitting over there listening
whatchu mean?
Jay-Z aint aquarius. :D neather is foxy

Jay was hittin it. Foxy needed that thing beat up on a regular basis goddamnnn.
my god foxy brown looks beautiful in this clip
I had no idea Foxy was only a little 15 year old.
17. She was born in 1978.
She was 16/17
15 when it was recorded, 16 1/2 when it blew up & 17 turning 18 when ILL NANA Dropped.
brown chocolate at its finest....damn Foxy idk about Jay but I know Foxy was high af during this interview
Raymond Dez she is not brown chocolate she dark chocolate which is what's best! !!
kabeyz gang gang. Looking like the original Eve.
I thought so too... high af. Love her!
Jay -Z was all about the business minded than anything? I love how classy (Foxxy Brown) & Her vibe was so chill.
They had weird energy her and Jay-Z like they were mad at each other or something
Anyone know the name of the instrumental that starts @ 1:49?
Foxy Brown was so feminine and beautiful. I prefer her style.
