"The Hardest Thing Is Seeing Pain On Someone Face That You Caused And Then Having To Deal With Yourself, Most People Don't Want To Do That, You Don't Want To Look Inside Yourself And So You Walk Away" My Favorite Quote So Much Truth
Yea they hide behind excuses and just walk away something i learned from personal experience but like you said they are the broken ones that will never be happy
That last line spoke to me. Very strong closing statement. "The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone's face that you caused, and then having to deal with yourself." ............ "You don't wanna look inside yourself... so you walk away." POWERFUL. Very powerful. Accurate. That IS the hardest thing. You can walk away from people... but you can't walk away from yourself. So whatever the issues are... they have to be addressed.
Jeenyoux I feel the same way! I thought it was VERY POWERFUL!!! Well articulated too. This is the first interview that I’ve come to see a really different person in him than before. It’s like he’s free of something? Ive always known he’s intelligent , I realize he’s been to therapy but it’s deeper than that? 🤔🤔🤔
It’s pretty refreshing to see an interview we’re the interviewer wasn’t trying to box the interviewee in a corner and genuinely wanted to see what was going on in their mind.
I’ve watched this interview about 7 times in 2022 alone. Phenomenal asf. He’s self awareness and maturity is amazing to see. The vulnerability and strength to be so true to self is inspiring.
It's crazy how the media tries to put artists against each other when behind the scenes it's really all love. JayZ mentioned his love for Kanye, respect for Nas, him going to therapy with Beyoncé and for himself, his love for Solange album and for her. These people are human. They fight, argue etc but at the end of the day it's all love.
A lot of it is manufactured, they agree to beef in public because it creates interest. They manipulate the media to get free publicity. Look behind the curtain.
Or he knows how to work and manipulate an interview to not come off bitter or angry or give particular attention to a feud especially seeing how classy this interview is
How you know Jay is a truly empathetic & caring man was how he said ''let's not use hurricane cause so many are affected'' he was using a metaphor and realised it might be in bad taste or cause others pain and switched to a word that would describe what he was talking about but equally thoughtful of those affected by hurricanes by choosing the word 'pain'. What an absolute gentleman.
Jay-Z always amazes me. He has such profound wisdom. They say "wisdom is born of pain" and I think that it true. However, J's wisdom not only came from pain, but from his ability to follow his instincts no matter what the price. I love the way he speaks of his marital issues and his obviously strong love for Beyonce. They are in it for the long haul, and that is so refreshing.
All these peopele whining about Jay crossing his legs. That just shows you how superficial you are. 35 mins of deep topics and that's the comment you come up with?
I am so puzzled that people noticed that I had no time to study his posture. I did notice when he talked about Bey he was careful with his words that's about it. He gave such a nice interview and there are people who took away that he crossed his legs? But I get it on TH-cam people are used to paying attention for 3 to 5 mins tops watching music videos, asking them to pay attention for 35 is asking waaaay too much if it isn't a video game walk through that is😆😆
Yea and also being internally angry and needing to release it so it’s targeting at someone anyone for any reason just because of the emotions they harbor inside and may not completely understand but most likely don’t know how to deal with it
Notes I took on this interview: -Important to show where you came from, what it took to get here -The best things are invisible, I cant put compassion in your hands -Repeat what those who are successful do, those habits made them what they are -Have the uncomfortable dialogue (on racist business owners getting kicked out of the NBA) -Concealing an issue doesnt get rid of it, you need to diagnose the problem first and that doesnt happen until you talk about it -Most important thing learnt in therapy: Every emotion is connected and it comes from somewhere- "you're acting this way towards me because of this? Im gonna respond with compassion because that thing happened to you." -You can only do the best that you can do and you should be proud of yourself for that- and also recognise when other people do their best -These objects are not the most beautiful things I have, its the friendships, the compassion and the person I have become -Rap is discovery, what do you know thats new? Thats whats cool -Do you wanna be a trend or louis vuitton? -Doing a bad thing whilst being fully conscious of its effects is worse than doing a bad thing when you are ignorant of the consequences
I never ever understood "what are you looking at" until now. I always thought it was just a way of asserting and showing power or influence by inciting fear in others. I never saw it through the lens of "this person is looking at me in my time of pain or vulnerability" or "this person can see or recognize my pain or vulnerability...and I don't like that". That's very powerful and very true. Also, "intelligence is not a tribute to color" in reference to "you're talking white"-everything. And also "the hardest thing is seeing pain on someone's face that you caused and then have to deal with yourself...most people don't want to do that. You don't want to look inside of yourself, and so you walk away". I'm very glad to have watched this interview and see him in this light. Not just as a celebrity with money, and influence, and Bey, and a black man, but as a human. I still can't fully put into words all that I've taken from this, because I'm still processing it-and I think that that is a good thing to continue thinking about it and then having a conversation about it and continuing the dialogue- but I'm very happy to have seen this.
I think that that contributes to that thought process. If you think about it, someone showing you that they are unwilling to open up and are uncomfortable doing so or being vulnerable with you (or society) and expressing that in a way that can be threatening or hostile would lead anyone to deter from trying to figure that individual out you know? And even if it isn't in a threatening manner, just the fact that someone is showing or communicating (even if not explicitly or just through body language) that they aren't comfortable to be vulnerable and are unwilling to do so, I'd say most people would be considerate of that individual and respect that boundary so then, of course people don't understand or relate or see your humanity you know? Because that's not even an option yea? It's not even on the table. So then that yields to many people, especially black men, being misunderstood or judged or regarded as inept of having, or at least expressing, human emotion, therefore the rest of society can't connect, so again as you've said, that translates to society not recognizing your humanity.
Yes, this was a very powerful interview. Jay-Z has always had a stillness about him. However, in this interview I can see that his guard is fully down and he's speaking from a vulnerable/deeper place himself. The 'What are you looking at' comment touched me as well. Considering that my brother was 'that person' asking people that question, I'm excited to discuss with him exactly what he was going through at that time. Nevertheless, you've highlighted most of the points that really resonated with me...I'm interested to know if you felt he was 100% honest...still so much to unpack from this interview.
You say "excited to discuss with him", does that mean that you will be interviewing him soon? How neat. And to answer your question about his honesty, I actually like to watch and listen to interviews multiple times so that I can get a read (through facial expression, body language, on whether or not someone is being completely genuine or honest in their responses, even if I think it's only part of the truth because they aren't as willing to share the complete truth-and I feel as though he was completely honest in this interview. Though I believe that he held some things back, I feel as though everything that he did say and share was with full honesty because, like you said, he was speaking from a vulnerable/deeper place in himself. It's also just very pleasant to take in all of what he has given to us in this interview, not only because the information is helpful and relatable, but because he's never really been a guy to speak so much or go into detail about so many facets of his life. He's usually quite mum about the inner workings of his personal life, except that glimpse and perspective that he gives through his music, so it's just nice to see him more as another person rather than this mysterious and private celebrity that everyone wonders about or puts on a pedestal or no one can relate to.
"what you reveal, you heal" "Intelligence is not attributed to colour" "You can't have a solution unless you deal with the problem" "You can't sacrifice others for your life, there's always a karmic debt to be paid" "The most important things aren't the ones we can see or touch,but the ones inside of us...." Genius....Simply Genius!!!!!!! I felt as though I was in class listening to a philosophy lecture or watching a documentary. I feel like most of the things you said should be turned into Quotes:) because Almost 90% of what you said resonates with most of us in more ways than one. Unconsciously, I started self evaluating myself during the Interview. Wow, the respect I have for you...can't describe it. You deserve the all best that life has to offer,and then some!
KempireRadio Exactly. Dean was right on the money. That man earned & deserves his job...a heck of a lot more than a lot of other so called "journalists"
JESUS LOVES YOU. HE is the ONLY and LIVING GOD. He Wants to help you. He is your Savior. If you are tired of everything, pray to Him. He will hear and answer you. HE IS YOUR FATHER...He Can change your life!!!
"You talking white....What does that mean??....I know words???!?!...Intelligence doesnt contribute to color.... THIS IS WHY I LOVE ME SOME JAY-Z...this dude is BRILLIANT....
Or how many times as a Chicano people would tell me, "Why you act like that, you're white washed", why? Because I picked up a dictionary? Racism against your own is better for racist than them doing it directly.
The word English comes from end combination "Anglo-ish". Look up the word "Anglo" it most definitely symbolizes color. I guess all y'all "smart people" don't pick up the dictionary enough.
This guy is BRILLIANT and so incredibly self aware. Wisdom beyond his years! Very thought provoking and inspiring. Would like to hear more from him to help heal this world.
This man is in total peace with himself. You can feel it in his tone of voice and body language. Jay Z is becoming one or my role models and I'm not precisely a young person.
@captain_ahab I know this is months old, but.... Kenyan runners is due to high altitude. Higher altitude, less oxygen to take it. When they come to other areas, they don't need as much oxygen to take in compared to others. Therefore, they can last longer and push their bodies harder. So, in a way, yeah you can call that evolution-ish. But that's more of growing accustomed to your environment. The Asian thing isn't even accurate though. That's just basic genetics. If you got a specific combination of genes going for being tall/short, that's what's going to happen. So that's just because one person had a child with someone else; not evolution 🤦🏾♂️
Be...Be Blessed and Know...You are Phenomenal and You don't owe anyone an apology...AAAmen! Be Phenomenal in Your right now...anyhow!! AAAmen!! God's Love & Blessings! Meditate on the Book of Genesis
Powerful messages and responses there by Jay. He’s in a league of his own. And a big credit to the interviewer. You can tell he’s studied him throughout his journey.
Man, this interview is deep, informative and insightful. Both of these guys are so seasoned with wisdom. Jay-z is very humble and insightful. His words of wisdom is as touching as the words in his songs. I think Jay is a great role model for men!
@Davide Lecky People like to think they are good. Its hard to look at someone going through pain and realize that you were the person who caused it. You have to own the person you are and the wrong things you did in order to change yourself for the better. Many people just walk away from their marriages and focus on the wrongs the other person did, rather than see the bad in themselves.
He hit the nail on the head. Compassion. If people don’t waste time trying to show toughness but turn that energy into understanding just imagine what this world would be.
Yes!!! Instead of women saying “ what you’re looking at” to hide they’re pain we say “ I look better than you or my clothes cost more than hers” to hide our pain. I know because I was that woman! I couldn’t connect with other women because I didn’t know me. I thought my STUFF defined me as a person. It took a lot of self evaluation, God, friends(my front row), and honesty for me to realize where the disconnect stemmed from. After weeks of crying and praying I’m now at a place of peace!
I loved at the end when he used the analogy of “eye of the hurricane” and then went back and said “maybe I won’t use the term hurricane because so many people affected”. Pure class
@@k.cooper2569 HE didn’t tho. You the only one that brought up race. And both the dudes u mentioned are white. Billy Joel and Adam Lambert are pretty well spoken yes but Jay Z is a rapper. Nothing about being black but being a rapper from Brooklyn. He shouldn’t be able to yet he does.
This conversation is so rich with emotion, seeing the conflict in jays eyes when he analyzes the questions and how he answers them you can just tell how differently he thinks and makes each answer and question very genuine great interview
This is how real change happens. Having understanding, agreement & unity. This is a message , hear it, understand it , move on it. Great interview Dean & Jay.
This what jay meant wen he said “Show them how to move in a room full of vultures” he walked in, controlled the room, educated and stated facts. Protect Hov at all costs.
I love his ideology of playing the long game. In a world of so much short term gratification, its so hard to stay patient. But if you stay patient and work hard enough on a long term basis. You will win.
This guy (Jay Z) may have come from the projects but is a person with the right stuff to grow. This insight into him is fascinating. It shows in a tacit way that growing as a person does not have to do with formal education or money.
Jay Z’s boundaries are stunning. He shares and gives just enough where he illicits change. The way he answered questions and gave answers shows how he is evolving and growing as a person. He is thoughtful and quite brave. To even admit he goes to therapy as a Black man makes me proud. I don’t listen to his music per se but the songs I know about is that his music has a lesson. It’s artistic and speaks to the heart and soul to people.
Jay z's level of consciousness and intelligence is immerse. There's always some knowledge to tap from his interviews. His delivery, his articulation is what I admire the most, not forgetting his confidence level. We are blessed to have him still here. Tbvh
Such a great interview. The interviewer did a fabulous job with the questions he chose and his authentic interest and engagement, showing Jay Z in all his beautiful wisdom and down to earth realness. One of the best interviews ever.
“They’ll be who they are.” I don’t know why, but that quote really got me. We get so caught up on changing people and not seeing them as they really are
2022 and still one of the most intelligent interview from a hip hop artist " … The hardest thing to do is seeing pain on someone's face that you've cause and have to deal with it yourself..."
Detox 2k I believe it means that we as ppl don't want to look at ourselves face to face and accept the mistakes we have made and the person we have become. We always tend to ignore our own situations/problems and just sweep them under the rug and walk away. Atleast this is what i think when i hear those words.
As someone that's always been skeptical of this man, and this being my first Jay-Z interview, I can say that I'm surprised at the self awareness and I can appreciate him much more as an artist and visionary. We need more of this
@@danofficial117black people are mad jayz talks about what other rappers dream about, and it hurts so bad cos they know with Jayz his raps are facts unlike their favourites
You know it's good content when 35 mins feels like 5 mins. I'd love to have a conversation with Jay Z about life one day. He and people who think alike, are the kind of people to have deep conversations about, the kinds that most would shy away from out of ignorance or fear. We sometimes forget to listen, understand, and resolve ( in that order). I'm almost 22 and am just starting my journey in this thing called life. It's not easy but at least I'm taking the courage and ambition to start it. Very great interview.
This is documenting at it's finest! Fifty years from now when we look back at this, what will the conversation consist of? Salute to Jay-Z and keep inspiring.
What a terrific interview. Jay-Z is so provocative in such a positive way- so thoughtful and so constructive, practical, actionable. And good for Dean Baquet- he did a great job.
Fabulous interview..great questions..and I love how open Jayzee was..I've never heard him speak this long or be this honest and open about his life. So glad I stumbled upon this. I never had an opinion on Jayzee one way or the other. Now, I can say I'm truly impressed. He seems genuine , giving and unpretentious.. Amazed at how different he is than the image I had of him, given the way he and Bey present themselves in public. Thanks for a great video.
I, I no way am one of those people that put Jay Z in this ultimate pedestal, but you gotta give it to him and the journalist for the QUALITY of the conversation here. Tons of mature introspection and insight. I think the most commendable part of the entire interview is the fact that this couple, under soo much public scrutiny and outside influence CHOSE to work THROUGH their challenges in such a remarkable way. I'm by far a romantic, but to use a common passion and craft and sit there as your partner spills her heart and soul in so much pain that you had caused. Wow! Certainly a level of mutual respect and commitment to the family unit that is missing in America today. My hats off to the Carter family
I watched this when it first came out. And now, four years later, I'm realizing that there were so many layers to his words that I didn't catch the first go around. Can't wait to, God willing, listen to this again five years from now.
This is my first time re-watching, I'm halfway through the interview and I'm picking up new information that I didn't catch when this was first uploaded. I wonder what I'll discover the next time watching too. ❤
“You can’t have a solution until u start dealing with the problem. What u reveal you heal.” My god I felt that too much. Sometimes stuff happen but however it happened, it’s time to deal w it and fix it. Thanks Mr. Carter 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you Sun Sun for pointing this out and reminding us one of the best part of the interview: “You can’t have a solution until u start dealing with the problem. What u reveal you heal.”
I'm wondering if he had ever been asked that question in that way. I am glad he was asked. I think that question almost caught him off guard. But I think he gave the best answer that hen could give.
The demeanor of Jay Z is the polar opposite of Kanye, but the messages aren't all that different. When you can figure out what kanye is trying to say, that is.
I'm really impressed by Jay-Z words. Such an intelligent, humble and authentic man. Teaching your children to be empathetic and making yourself vulnerable... I'm inspired. Indeed the most beautiful things are not objects but inside.
Respect, respect, respect. I pray I find someone just as wise. I love everything about this interview. Thank you Jay Z. For your knowledge & your love for life. ♥️
Jay-Z and Beyonce will never do a interview with the breakfast Club again. Because they know how immature and disrepectfull the Breakfast Club is. This interview is matured
This interview was amazing. The way Jay was able to articulate his thoughts to each question was a clear sign that both their minds were in perfect harmony. There are very few people like Jay Z, he sets his mind on the bigger picture. For a person to look at the Mona Lisa and say, "In 40 years that'll be cool", requires such a great mind. This interview proved just that.
@@joshuaowolabi6668 "In 4O years that'll be cool"... Jay-Z meant, having the wisdom to look at something and realizing it is valuable---before it catches on with the public or most importantly--in your personal life, that statement means the ability to grasp what is true and what is important or significant...
Wow, some really powerful statements made here. I’ve passively listened to Jay Z in the past, but this interview really made me a big fan of him. So much respect.
One thing I noticed that I feel we tend to forget is even tho most of us look at Jay Z is as the big dog or OG, he still grew up right before our eyes even when he was considered this. Maturing in ways that we couldn't even pin point until now Kudos to the man💪🏼
“What you reveal, you heal” I felt that.. dope!! Love intelligent conversations
🥺❤️
Okay this is really weird... i was at the exact point where he said that when i read this...

Exactly to build yourself up you shouldn't have to tear people down like jay also stated
That was hard to read
This was not an interview with Jay-Z, it was an interview with Shawn Carter. Loved it!
Yes! The title should be Interview with Sean Carter.

That part of bullies being people who themselves got bullied, reminded me of his lyrics " sensitive thugs y'all need hugs".

This interviewer is really good. He made it feel like a therapy session instead of an interview.
Stephanie Samuels except his CONSTANT hm hmm right right right. My god. Terrible
Stephanie Samuels can we talk?
Diaz Reddix about what lol

Now I can't listen to the interview without thinking of those "hmm's", thanks a lot.
It’s pretty refreshing to see an interview we’re the interviewer wasn’t trying to box the interviewee in a corner and genuinely wanted to see what was going on in their mind.
MayThe4ce right, no gotcha angle at all... they just chopped it up...
MayThe4ce ..maybe.
This is like therapy vs a real interview where they interrogate someone.
I’ve watched this interview about 7 times in 2022 alone. Phenomenal asf. He’s self awareness and maturity is amazing to see. The vulnerability and strength to be so true to self is inspiring.
He's seen Beyonce,s bum hole 😂😂😂🎇

Bryan Emmitt Mack Leg crossing is a true concern to "real men".
lol thats youtube for u... too many people make silly comments and observations online
This is a real question, what is wrong with guys crossing their legs? I never understood that.
I am so puzzled that people noticed that
I had no time to study his posture.
I did notice when he talked about Bey he was careful with his words that's about it.
He gave such a nice interview and there are people who took away that he crossed his legs?
But I get it on TH-cam people are used to paying attention for 3 to 5 mins tops watching music videos, asking them to pay attention for 35 is asking waaaay too much if it isn't a video game walk through that is😆😆
That shows you how some people are insecure about themselves. That tells you that they have a deep dark secret about themselves. Ignorance!!! 😒
Hurt people don't want people to see them being hurt, that's the story of "what you looking at"? Such an amazing revelation, makes sense
Herr Starr I was so amazed when I heard that.
He only hurt cause he know he wronged Bey and he is wronging the 3rd kid in life that says she is is his... STEP UP JAY!!!
Yea and also being internally angry and needing to release it so it’s targeting at someone anyone for any reason just because of the emotions they harbor inside and may not completely understand but most likely don’t know how to deal with it
"You can't have a solution until you start dealing with the problems."
Notes I took on this interview:
-Important to show where you came from, what it took to get here
-The best things are invisible, I cant put compassion in your hands
-Repeat what those who are successful do, those habits made them what they are
-Have the uncomfortable dialogue (on racist business owners getting kicked out of the NBA)
-Concealing an issue doesnt get rid of it, you need to diagnose the problem first and that doesnt happen until you talk about it
-Most important thing learnt in therapy: Every emotion is connected and it comes from somewhere- "you're acting this way towards me because of this? Im gonna respond with compassion because that thing happened to you."
-You can only do the best that you can do and you should be proud of yourself for that- and also recognise when other people do their best
-These objects are not the most beautiful things I have, its the friendships, the compassion and the person I have become
-Rap is discovery, what do you know thats new? Thats whats cool
-Do you wanna be a trend or louis vuitton?
-Doing a bad thing whilst being fully conscious of its effects is worse than doing a bad thing when you are ignorant of the consequences
A healthy relationship with anyone starts with conversation.

One of the realest & most genuine conversations between a celebrity & a journalist!!!
Great job!!! 👏💯
I A M J O KING it's based on much more than that such as body language, how relaxed Jay-Z is and the flow of the conversation.
I A M J O KING Actually go to the video at 21:00 minutes
I A M J O KING I know seriously how can anyone cheat on Beyonce!? Smh that was so low of him.
I A M J O KING Exactly my point!
I A M J O KING Of course it works both ways
I never ever understood "what are you looking at" until now. I always thought it was just a way of asserting and showing power or influence by inciting fear in others. I never saw it through the lens of "this person is looking at me in my time of pain or vulnerability" or "this person can see or recognize my pain or vulnerability...and I don't like that". That's very powerful and very true. Also, "intelligence is not a tribute to color" in reference to "you're talking white"-everything. And also "the hardest thing is seeing pain on someone's face that you caused and then have to deal with yourself...most people don't want to do that. You don't want to look inside of yourself, and so you walk away". I'm very glad to have watched this interview and see him in this light. Not just as a celebrity with money, and influence, and Bey, and a black man, but as a human. I still can't fully put into words all that I've taken from this, because I'm still processing it-and I think that that is a good thing to continue thinking about it and then having a conversation about it and continuing the dialogue- but I'm very happy to have seen this.
Kennae M can i subscribe
I think that that contributes to that thought process. If you think about it, someone showing you that they are unwilling to open up and are uncomfortable doing so or being vulnerable with you (or society) and expressing that in a way that can be threatening or hostile would lead anyone to deter from trying to figure that individual out you know? And even if it isn't in a threatening manner, just the fact that someone is showing or communicating (even if not explicitly or just through body language) that they aren't comfortable to be vulnerable and are unwilling to do so, I'd say most people would be considerate of that individual and respect that boundary so then, of course people don't understand or relate or see your humanity you know? Because that's not even an option yea? It's not even on the table. So then that yields to many people, especially black men, being misunderstood or judged or regarded as inept of having, or at least expressing, human emotion, therefore the rest of society can't connect, so again as you've said, that translates to society not recognizing your humanity.
Exactly. Well said. Thank you for this conversation. Really enlightening.
Yes, this was a very powerful interview. Jay-Z has always had a stillness about him. However, in this interview I can see that his guard is fully down and he's speaking from a vulnerable/deeper place himself. The 'What are you looking at' comment touched me as well. Considering that my brother was 'that person' asking people that question, I'm excited to discuss with him exactly what he was going through at that time. Nevertheless, you've highlighted most of the points that really resonated with me...I'm interested to know if you felt he was 100% honest...still so much to unpack from this interview.
You say "excited to discuss with him", does that mean that you will be interviewing him soon? How neat. And to answer your question about his honesty, I actually like to watch and listen to interviews multiple times so that I can get a read (through facial expression, body language, on whether or not someone is being completely genuine or honest in their responses, even if I think it's only part of the truth because they aren't as willing to share the complete truth-and I feel as though he was completely honest in this interview. Though I believe that he held some things back, I feel as though everything that he did say and share was with full honesty because, like you said, he was speaking from a vulnerable/deeper place in himself. It's also just very pleasant to take in all of what he has given to us in this interview, not only because the information is helpful and relatable, but because he's never really been a guy to speak so much or go into detail about so many facets of his life. He's usually quite mum about the inner workings of his personal life, except that glimpse and perspective that he gives through his music, so it's just nice to see him more as another person rather than this mysterious and private celebrity that everyone wonders about or puts on a pedestal or no one can relate to.
“What you looking at…” was so profoundly said and revealed a deep insight.🖤
"what you reveal, you heal"
"Intelligence is not attributed to colour"
"You can't have a solution unless you deal with the problem"
"You can't sacrifice others for your life, there's always a karmic debt to be paid"
"The most important things aren't the ones we can see or touch,but the ones inside of us...."
Genius....Simply Genius!!!!!!!
I felt as though I was in class listening to a philosophy lecture or watching a documentary. I feel like most of the things you said should be turned into Quotes:) because Almost 90% of what you said resonates with most of us in more ways than one. Unconsciously, I started self evaluating myself during the Interview. Wow, the respect I have for you...can't describe it. You deserve the all best that life has to offer,and then some!
theresia peter they're not just quotes, theyre clichés. He heard all that in therapy
"You rather be a trend or you rather be Ralph Lauren?
I assume you were sitting next to him on the couch huh? @@alasdairmacintyre9383

Mr,Jay Z he always speak his truth ... he’s Genus!! your fan 4 Lyfe ❤️🎼❤️
I am loving Dean's questions! Real journalism!

Definitely one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen

"You talking white....What does that mean??....I know words???!?!...Intelligence doesnt contribute to color....
THIS IS WHY I LOVE ME SOME JAY-Z...this dude is BRILLIANT....
Wesley Alexander That was my favorite part of the interview bro.
People have been saying that foe years tho
Or how many times as a Chicano people would tell me, "Why you act like that, you're white washed", why? Because I picked up a dictionary? Racism against your own is better for racist than them doing it directly.
Wesley Alexander I've been saying this since 17. Talking with correct English isnt a certain race
The word English comes from end combination "Anglo-ish". Look up the word "Anglo" it most definitely symbolizes color. I guess all y'all "smart people" don't pick up the dictionary enough.
This guy is BRILLIANT and so incredibly self aware. Wisdom beyond his years! Very thought provoking and inspiring. Would like to hear more from him to help heal this world.
This man is in total peace with himself. You can feel it in his tone of voice and body language. Jay Z is becoming one or my role models and I'm not precisely a young person.
Hatuey McFarland do you look up to how he cheated on his spouse???
@@violetisgreen A role models personal life doesnt affect the personal life of the one looking up
Alyssa Green you can never know what celebrities are like in private, but you can still respect him for the things he does publicly
@@violetisgreen Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
33 and still learning, I look up to him as well and it's for good reason 💯💯
"Intelligence is not attributed to color." Say it louder for em at the back!
I did lol. I`m sure he just forgot it though
captain_ahab Intelligence is something that is so many factors and is hard to pin down though.
@captain_ahab I know this is months old, but....
Kenyan runners is due to high altitude. Higher altitude, less oxygen to take it. When they come to other areas, they don't need as much oxygen to take in compared to others. Therefore, they can last longer and push their bodies harder. So, in a way, yeah you can call that evolution-ish. But that's more of growing accustomed to your environment.
The Asian thing isn't even accurate though. That's just basic genetics. If you got a specific combination of genes going for being tall/short, that's what's going to happen. So that's just because one person had a child with someone else; not evolution 🤦🏾♂️
Blacks are the smartest anyway we invented everything
@@onlinejobsfromindiiojamesp5325 LOL
These interview questions are impeccable. You get the sense that he has studied Jay’s journey. Such a good interview
Evidence. Very profound
Worddddddd
Be...Be Blessed and Know...You are Phenomenal and You don't owe anyone an apology...AAAmen! Be Phenomenal in Your right now...anyhow!! AAAmen!! God's Love & Blessings! Meditate on the Book of Genesis
Powerful messages and responses there by Jay. He’s in a league of his own.
And a big credit to the interviewer. You can tell he’s studied him throughout his journey.
It makes me excited there are people that sense what's true
This is pure Black Boy Joy right here. Two Black men coming together having a mature and positive intellectual conversation.
"The hardest thing is seeing pain on other people, that you've caused and having to deal with yourself" This is really good !! Keep it up Jay
Audioanalisys Could've been said any better

Am I the only one thinking Jay-Z's voice is SUUUPER soothing?
Habibi Thotsu No, I think so too.
You could pour it over ice cream
I love it..
I noticed that. It came off very welcoming. I think because of transparency.
Habibi Thotsu so true
Man, this interview is deep, informative and insightful. Both of these guys are so seasoned with wisdom. Jay-z is very humble and insightful. His words of wisdom is as touching as the words in his songs. I think Jay is a great role model for men!
the wisdom dripping off of him is what I need all 2020
also seeing this in 2020 :)
For real🤔
Megan Naidu 🗣👌🏽
Stop it you ain’t getting some
Amen
Jay Z ain't no black excellence, he's human excellence. Truly inspirational development.
DP he's both
Nothing wrong with black excellence.
his blackness comes first (just as the world sees him)
@DJ Devinstation Not what I meant at all, bro.
Black excellence already implies human excellence.
This whole video is the longest Jay-z verse we'll ever get
Ralph Hernandez omg you broke my mind
.
Jay-Z a biggest inspiration to me since ‘96 as a rapper, very mediocre when it comes to giving an interview however :(
mm hm!
Correct
I wish Jay-Z did more interviews. He’s so thoughtful and introspective and offers such beautiful wisdoms
Go watch the one he did with Warren Buffet. Straight 🔥! He killed it in that one too!! Holla back and let us know what you think!
"people walk away from marriages because they don't want to look inside themselves" mannn i felt that.
@Davide Lecky People like to think they are good. Its hard to look at someone going through pain and realize that you were the person who caused it. You have to own the person you are and the wrong things you did in order to change yourself for the better. Many people just walk away from their marriages and focus on the wrongs the other person did, rather than see the bad in themselves.
Omri H some people can see it bro no need explain it to them buddy
don’t make it seem like walking out of a marriage is cowardice. it may be selfish but many good decisions are made by being selfish.
A lesson I've learned. Lost the most wonderful woman ever, because I couldn't face myself.
joegrst Me to!!!!!
He hit the nail on the head. Compassion. If people don’t waste time trying to show toughness but turn that energy into understanding just imagine what this world would be.
😂😂😂Dis is hilarious Listening to Satan eloquently speak to the sheep.
Toughness is valuable too.
@@HeavyHeartsShow it lies in knowing how to control it and let it out in the intensity required for that moment and situation.
Toughness is really just the underlying pain and/or fear.
Yes!!! Instead of women saying “ what you’re looking at” to hide they’re pain we say “ I look better than you or my clothes cost more than hers” to hide our pain. I know because I was that woman! I couldn’t connect with other women because I didn’t know me. I thought my STUFF defined me as a person. It took a lot of self evaluation, God, friends(my front row), and honesty for me to realize where the disconnect stemmed from. After weeks of crying and praying I’m now at a place of peace!
I know it's none of my business but was it a relationship making you feel that way ?
Mom The Ebayer than you for sharing that. I’m happy to hear you are in a better place.
Mom The Ebayer sounds like a great movie love...
walking towards the pain is the best thing you can do deal with it
Ms. Nakira Monae No way I’m happily married. It was my childhood that snowballed into my adult life. I’m so grateful I recognized and wanted change.
I loved at the end when he used the analogy of “eye of the hurricane” and then went back and said “maybe I won’t use the term hurricane because so many people affected”. Pure class
Preempting people who find faults with others words such as people tend to nowadays. Interview experience combined with the ability to stay ahead
Easily one of the most well spoken artist/celebrity. He should do tedtalks or something like that
True
@@k.cooper2569he never mentioned race in his comment, you neek
@@k.cooper2569 HE didn’t tho. You the only one that brought up race. And both the dudes u mentioned are white. Billy Joel and Adam Lambert are pretty well spoken yes but Jay Z is a rapper. Nothing about being black but being a rapper from Brooklyn. He shouldn’t be able to yet he does.
This conversation is so rich with emotion, seeing the conflict in jays eyes when he analyzes the questions and how he answers them you can just tell how differently he thinks and makes each answer and question very genuine great interview
"The strongest thing a man can do is cry". That's so powerful.
Yes, men are human and can be vulnerable ❤️🙌🏿
Dont cry in the open..........
True indeed
@@joeslam5 says the CUSTER
Since 2018, I have been coming back to this interview. It has everything to learn of.
This is how real change happens. Having understanding, agreement & unity.
This is a message , hear it, understand it , move on it.
Great interview Dean & Jay.
DreamAngel123 PFW lol 😂
DreamAngel123 PFW completely agree
DreamAngel123 PFW he’s a soul selling rat
This what jay meant wen he said “Show them how to move in a room full of vultures” he walked in, controlled the room, educated and stated facts. Protect Hov at all costs.
I'd like to disagree! To me, this this didn't seem like anybody was trying to show anyone anything
th-cam.com/video/JIxx0Pv9IB8/w-d-xo.html
That's all you got outta this interview?? How to move in a room full of vultures? ...So infantile!
completely different
I love his ideology of playing the long game. In a world of so much short term gratification, its so hard to stay patient. But if you stay patient and work hard enough on a long term basis. You will win.
This guy (Jay Z) may have come from the projects but is a person with the right stuff to grow. This insight into him is fascinating. It shows in a tacit way that growing as a person does not have to do with formal education or money.
Jay Z’s boundaries are stunning. He shares and gives just enough where he illicits change. The way he answered questions and gave answers shows how he is evolving and growing as a person. He is thoughtful and quite brave. To even admit he goes to therapy as a Black man makes me proud. I don’t listen to his music per se but the songs I know about is that his music has a lesson. It’s artistic and speaks to the heart and soul to people.
Jay z's level of consciousness and intelligence is immerse. There's always some knowledge to tap from his interviews. His delivery, his articulation is what I admire the most, not forgetting his confidence level. We are blessed to have him still here. Tbvh
Very well said.
Most artist can't breakdown the meaning of their songs like this because alot of their songs have no meaning. Jay still the best rapper alive
No cap 💯

Such a great interview. The interviewer did a fabulous job with the questions he chose and his authentic interest and engagement, showing Jay Z in all his beautiful wisdom and down to earth realness. One of the best interviews ever.
He is even so self aware about his usage of hurricane as a metaphor and corrected it with humility. What a class act.. 👏🏼
right? that was SO nice
Is he self aware that his daughter Latesha Macer needs him?
Is he self aware of how he shouldn’t cheat on Beyonce

Omar E Lmao I know I’m not perfect it was a joke are you okay that you felt the need to write a paragraph on his behalf

You don't want to look inside yourself, so you just walk away....those words will stick with me forever! Very true and honest words!
what he mean by that Elena?
Detox 2k I believe it means that we as ppl don't want to look at ourselves face to face and accept the mistakes we have made and the person we have become. We always tend to ignore our own situations/problems and just sweep them under the rug and walk away. Atleast this is what i think when i hear those words.
Thats so true, I can actually relate and can grow from that statement that Jay made. Thanks Elena for explaining ;)

As someone that's always been skeptical of this man, and this being my first Jay-Z interview, I can say that I'm surprised at the self awareness and I can appreciate him much more as an artist and visionary. We need more of this
Why sceptical?
@@danofficial117black people are mad jayz talks about what other rappers dream about, and it hurts so bad cos they know with Jayz his raps are facts unlike their favourites
Jay is a very smart man. I would love to sit at a round table with him ANYDAY!!
You know it's good content when 35 mins feels like 5 mins. I'd love to have a conversation with Jay Z about life one day. He and people who think alike, are the kind of people to have deep conversations about, the kinds that most would shy away from out of ignorance or fear. We sometimes forget to listen, understand, and resolve ( in that order). I'm almost 22 and am just starting my journey in this thing called life. It's not easy but at least I'm taking the courage and ambition to start it. Very great interview.
Love KeShae I love this I can definitely relate to what you mean.
Love KeShae food is good to a good conversion how bout it?
let me kno
Love the respect he gave to Kanye & Nas, that's brotherly love.
The actual title: How to age well with wisdom 101
This is documenting at it's finest! Fifty years from now when we look back at this, what will the conversation consist of? Salute to Jay-Z and keep inspiring.
What a terrific interview. Jay-Z is so provocative in such a positive way- so thoughtful and so constructive, practical, actionable. And good for Dean Baquet- he did a great job.
Were ur mustache at lil nikka😂
This man's perspective is extremely deep. I rate him for his level if conciousness
Kiki's World world of well can we talk
He’s gone thru a lot
He's giving us a lot!
Fabulous interview..great questions..and I love how open Jayzee was..I've never heard him speak this long or be this honest and open about his life. So glad I stumbled upon this. I never had an opinion on Jayzee one way or the other. Now, I can say I'm truly impressed. He seems genuine , giving and unpretentious.. Amazed at how different he is than the image I had of him, given the way he and Bey present themselves in public.
Thanks for a great video.
I, I no way am one of those people that put Jay Z in this ultimate pedestal, but you gotta give it to him and the journalist for the QUALITY of the conversation here. Tons of mature introspection and insight. I think the most commendable part of the entire interview is the fact that this couple, under soo much public scrutiny and outside influence CHOSE to work THROUGH their challenges in such a remarkable way. I'm by far a romantic, but to use a common passion and craft and sit there as your partner spills her heart and soul in so much pain that you had caused. Wow! Certainly a level of mutual respect and commitment to the family unit that is missing in America today. My hats off to the Carter family
I watched this when it first came out. And now, four years later, I'm realizing that there were so many layers to his words that I didn't catch the first go around. Can't wait to, God willing, listen to this again five years from now.
Yeaaa
I’m doing exactly the same:)
I’m gonna watch it every year see how I change
This is my first time re-watching, I'm halfway through the interview and I'm picking up new information that I didn't catch when this was first uploaded. I wonder what I'll discover the next time watching too. ❤
I guess you were right.
It's so hard to be real in this day in age, with social media. This was real. Period.
Everything is a choice
This is one of my favorite Jay-Z interviews. He's so unique based on how he answers the questions that were being asked.
“You can’t have a solution until u start dealing with the problem. What u reveal you heal.”
My god I felt that too much. Sometimes stuff happen but however it happened, it’s time to deal w it and fix it. Thanks Mr. Carter 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you Sun Sun for pointing this out and reminding us one of the best part of the interview: “You can’t have a solution until u start dealing with the problem. What u reveal you heal.”
Well when he gone deal with the fact he has a daughter out here by the name of Latesha Macer? She 28 and she looking for her pops!!!
Stuff happened? He made his choices in cheating on Beyonce. It didn’t just happen.
"You can't sacrifice others for your life. There's a karmic debt that has to be paid." Jay always drops gems in his interviews
That was my favorite statement from him. Love it.
Coming from the illuminartist himself
I'm wondering if he had ever been asked that question in that way. I am glad he was asked. I think that question almost caught him off guard. But I think he gave the best answer that hen could give.
@Marvin Santana do you know this to be fact or just your opinion?
That’s straight “Seat of the Soul,” his favorite book.
Excellent. He has evolved so much.
Life always makes you smarter when you decide to pay attention to it!
So much wisdom!!! I could listen to these two for hours. Would love to see the unedited version!
The only I didn't like was that the interview wasn't longer. This was Amazing, Jay is very Articulate and well spoken
The demeanor of Jay Z is the polar opposite of Kanye, but the messages aren't all that different. When you can figure out what kanye is trying to say, that is.
Zac Choate Kanye an artist jay a business man
Zac Choate i mean if your talking about ye from a few yrs ago when he was frustrated with the fashion industry then yea... now he's totally different
I'm a huge Kanye fan, and he's always been that way.
The crazy thing is they are actually polar opposites with jay being a Sagg and Kanye being a Gemini.

Jay-Z and Beyonce will never do a interview with the breakfast Club again. Because they know how immature and disrepectfull the Breakfast Club is. This interview is matured
They also seem intimidated and shy of him.

Trevor Noah put him in his place
@@cicisunny6795 yeah. Trevor is a smart well-spoken well-informed African.
Jay-Z has done an interview with the breakfast club.
This interview was amazing. The way Jay was able to articulate his thoughts to each question was a clear sign that both their minds were in perfect harmony. There are very few people like Jay Z, he sets his mind on the bigger picture. For a person to look at the Mona Lisa and say, "In 40 years that'll be cool", requires such a great mind. This interview proved just that.
What does he mean by the Mona Lisa statement ?
@@joshuaowolabi6668 "In 4O years that'll be cool"... Jay-Z meant, having the wisdom to look at something and realizing it is valuable---before it catches on with the public or most importantly--in your personal life, that statement means the ability to grasp what is true and what is important or significant...
Wow, some really powerful statements made here. I’ve passively listened to Jay Z in the past, but this interview really made me a big fan of him. So much respect.

One thing I noticed that I feel we tend to forget is even tho most of us look at Jay Z is as the big dog or OG, he still grew up right before our eyes even when he was considered this.
Maturing in ways that we couldn't even pin point until now
Kudos to the man💪🏼
