  1. Looks like Shawn has another career…comic.

  2. preferredclassics.com

  3. I like how the interview wasnt promoting the CD

  4. when you have millions almost billions of dollars, I think your jokes get better and better

  5. good comedic timing and all that… but man, there is not a rapper alive with a normal laugh.

  6. Shawn Cater >

  7. Carter > Cater

    smoh

  8. and for you smart dumb catz that might be think smh > smoh…

    it’s shake my own head nigga.

  9. smh^

  10. no one would think you would be shaking someone elses head

  11. I think he’s acquired that comedic Kanye type interview presence. This reminded me of Kanye’s interview with Conan where he had to go to the bathroom.

    It’s all about just not taking yourself too seriously and having fun with it.

  12. hahah, dude is mad funny.

  13. ^^^

    ture.. but, thats how I said it and wanted to make myself clear. I get your point and thought about that after I posted it… smoh. imma (c) that shit.

  14. U can tell Jay wasn’t liking all the questions about his wife, that’s the part of his life he likes to keep personal. Great segment though, almost seemed like they rehearsed it and timed the comedy perfectly. That damn laugh is hilarious.

  15. lol funny interview… Gotta cop that Blueprint 3 soon…

  16. It seemed weird as fuck when I watched it on TV, but I was super baked when I watched it.. He just seemed uncomfortable.

  17. [...] via 2dopeboyz [...]

  18. wow someone’s rip game is proper seeing as it was a few hours ago lol
    cool interview, comedians at work.

  19. Gay. Sellout. Has-been. What more can I say?

  20. ^^haters need to hate^^ smh

  21. hov look fuckin nervous at the start.

  22. lol dudes not just a legend, hes funni. him and em do pretty similar interviews. both a little hesitant but funni.

    bp3 baby all day. great album

  23. wait! an interesting, funny and entertaining interview that didnt include “nah mean”, “knowwhatimsayin”, uhm, and plenty of blank stares as they try not to say nigga? it’s maybe less than 15 rappers who can pull that off. well played mr. carter. well played, indeed

  24. just kenny…wtf is a “normal laugh” ??? please explain

  25. mf tree – u are an idiot…whos head would u be shaking other than ur own…gtfoh

  26. It wasnt even an interview It was more like a conversation. Great interview from two mutli-millionaires. This Friday He will be all business @ MSG I hope I am there to see it in person.

  27. shake MY head…the my thing kinda implies its your OWN head…

  28. photo of shake as well as celebrities -> http://twitter.com/link_click_count?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fwkmagic&linkType=web&tweetId=3873396432&userId=-1&authenticity_token=cdcbad9e4854881095c5106f89314459ee070a63

  29. I think he seems awkward in interviews. A lot of one word answers…

  30. “Jay-Z is a funny dude” – The guy has 0 personality.

  31. another thing why can’t this cornball just admit he got married. i get the whole he’s trying to keep the playa thing going, but everyone knows he’s well over 40. drop the playa ish and just admit you got married.

  32. he did you fool ^ do u see him denying it ???

  33. Does any one else agree that raekwon ‘The Chef’ should have been on letterman rather then lame-Z?

  34. Raekwon doesn’t have enough money or success to conversate with David Letterman. As ignorant as that sounds , its true.

  35. he needs to find some charactor…. he’s so used to frontin on records he dosent know how to be upfront in real life

  36. JaY-Z is a boring dude. Anyone listen to him on Rosenberg show on Hot 9-7 yesterday morning? Dude was puttin me to sleep on my drive into work. I wonder if he has a social anxiety disorder….He freezes up…either that or he lakes self confidence…either way, while watching this I yawned…and changed the channel. Jay aint a legend. he a product.

  37. lmao this is hilarious

  38. Sometimes Jay is naturally witty and funny–other times, he just tries too hard.

    Trying too hard: Exhibit A above.

  39. …jay-z swagger jacked tracy morgan in this interview…peep the look he does…

  40. Great interview, didnt try to hard and didnt push the album, jus chilled!

  41. watching this back… that nigga kinda got me didn’t he?

  42. “Put Words Together Like Letter-Man”

  43. lol hov laugh is jooookes

  44. first part was mad planned like cobra commander… jay is so nervous getting his lines in… AWKwARD! his laugh is gross like revune!

  45. this interview will be better than the whole album.
    buy CUBAN LINX 2 instead!

  46. Hov has perfect comic timing!

  47. Dave: “so what do you do when you don’t go out?” Jay-Z: “eat.”

  48. too many ^^^^^^^^ and SMH this mighty fine day huh?

  49. On the one hand, I wanna complain about the “childish-innocence” approach he took — it seems like he did it either because he’s normally quite the boring dude or because he really isnt good at speaking in interviews (kinda like Adam Sandler).

    … But on the other hand, I was giggling and laughing throughout the interview and thought he was quite funny.

  50. This shit was hilarious. And for you that don’t think that it was, try reading Wittyness for Dummies.

  51. scripted.

  52. interview made me laugh. he always seems uncomfortable or something in his interviews, but it’s just the way he is.

  53. +1 @ js

    And his laugh is so corny LOL still good in my books though.

    Keep doin’ ya thang Jay!

  54. [...] Z wasn’t joking in describing former colleague Peedi Crakk as “a psycho”, but was definitely gunning for guffaws on Letterman – is your delivery deadpan if your face actually suggests constipation? Mr Carter then cemented [...]

  55. classic…
