Jay-Z Says The Darndest Things! (Jigga's Letterman Appearance)
Posted on November 5, 2007 1:00 PM
Hey y’all... I was creepin’ on the ‘Net, and I found this clip of Jay-Z on David Letterman. I didn’t see this when it originally broadcasted, SO DON’T SHOOT THE MESSENGER, OKAY?!
I just wanted y’all to check it out, especially for those of you who haven’t seen it. Jigga’s talking to Letterman about his “non-retirement” and about the soon-to-be-released-yet-already-leaked American Gangster album.
Is it me, or for some reason Jay-Z’s giving off a slighly younger exuberance, like he's just hit 30+ and not approaching 40? "I'm 35...6...7" <-- CLASSIC!
Maybe it’s just me. Maybe because he’s actually being funny– WE DEFINITELY need to see more of your sense of humor, Hov. But damn, he was serious about rebirthing his "Jigga" persona! He didn't even show up for the show in his currently-requisite cable knit sweater and tie! It is what it is.
Also... “Roc Boys” is my sh-t right now on the regular... but with a LIVE BAND? Phe-f*ckin’-nomenal! I wish I could see this Hov perform this in concert. I'm still trippin' over the fact that this song was actually produced by Diddy. I see you still got in you somewhere, Puff! He gets mad props for that one, most def.
By the way, I WILL be checking out his Storytellers special on VH1 this Thursday at 9pm, and that recap will be ready for you first thing the next day.
WE IN THE HOUSE!!!!! L’CHAIM!!!

Jay-Z is pretty funny, I'm also glad 2 see him dress a lil younger instead of them grandfather outfits he's constantly rockin. I'm excited 4 the album, I heard it online but I'm definitely hittin up the store to pick it up tomorrow.
ROC BOYS IS HITTEN HARD, IT REMINDS ME OF WHEN H TO THE IZZO CAME OUT FOR BLUEPRINT
"I got presents..." Lol! He's a funny guy. Wish i could listen to this Sirius thing....

Nas's Ether came out in 2001.
You a fan, a phony, a fake, a pussy, a Stan
I still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class
You Tae-bo hoe, tryna' work it out, you tryna' get brolic?
Which means he was 36 in 2001, which means he is over 40 now.

cuz nas ALWAYS tells the truth right....ether was all fake ass garbage...listen to superugly if u chekin for some facts....and what does jiggas age have to do with anything???? dre is like 40, should he stop makin beats now?
gtfoh
I'm not saying jay-z should stop rapping, im just saying he lies about his age which is wack!
old ass still trying to be a teenager lol,,dumb camel face retire your album is garbage,,u make curtis look like a classic
whoever said jay is over 40 is dumb. these are diss songs man. every body talks trash on diss tracks. so get ur facts right. dude is turning 37 in december. he was born dec 4th 1970. fool
Ah forget Hov, Papoose is dat dude!
JAY Z WAS BORN IN 1969 THIS MAKES HIM 38
BUT HE HAS A NET WORTH OF 525 MILLION HE HAS MORE MONEY THAN DAVID LETTERMAN AND 95% OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD AND HE CAME FROM THE PROJECTS AND A SINGLE PARENT HOW CAN YOU HATE ON HIM ?
^^^
I agree, Papoose is lyrically better. Jay-Z still dope though
LOL
Jay's Album was atleast 4.5 mics its classic. LOL at the fool that like a 40 year old dressin like someone his age. Jay is older should dress more his age. I dont give a fuck this nigga is old, but he can still rap his ass off. and to the Nigga trying to Save jay cuz he got money. Why do Nigga's Jump on a nigga's nuts cuz they got money!??! that 525 Million aint yours. Cuz he paid dont mean he's above anyone. LOL at you worshippin a man with Money, Get your Priorites Straight.
( only broke niggas' talk about money cuz they never really had it)
papoose nicer than jay?
YOU CRAZY?
LL's going to be pissed. LL and Fresh Prince are supposed to be the comedic personality rappers. Jay's stealing LL's persona. LOL
America Gangster in stores and online tomorrow. 11/6/07
Niggas kill me with that shit. Line for Line, Ether is the greatest dis song of alltime.
@Jay-Z Lies About Age says...
You do know that Ethier had almost no facts? Unlike "Superugly" or better yet "Blueprint 2"
And I'm sorry Miss Rosie Perez
I call a spade a spade, it just is what it is
But you can't give cred to anything dude says
Same dude to give you ice and you owe him some head
(Shortyyyy!) It's time to wake up the dead
You sound a little naive in them articles that I read
By the way, you know that Diddy probably didn't produce this right? Probably one of his Hitmen again ...
U could argue that Papoose is more conceptual than Jay-Z. When it comes to concepts, Pap is just a notch below Nas. But, Pap is not nicer than Jay. Jay is more lyrical, has a better punchline (metaphor and simile) game, sounds better over a mic and his flow is just sicker. Pap may have great concepts, but his flow is below average. Most people can't listen to him for a long period of time. So, i don't care how good ur concepts are, if u can't grab peoples attention with ur flow, then ur lyrics will not be felt as much as they should. That's y Nas is the best rapper alive, he is very conceptual, but his flow, lyrics, and punchline game are just as crazy. But, Jay-Z is that dude!!!
Pap better than Jay, that is just comical, a real emcee can do more than just rap, song making is another part of it, and u wonder why canibus never blew up like that....
this guy Pap hasnt even had ONE album, dont compare the two, matter fact, u cant really comepare nayone alive to Jay, MAYBE Nas, but he lies too much, and Letterman guessed that he was 35, he said close, u idiot!
Ether Full Of Jokes? Yeah, right........ says...
Niggas kill me with that shit. Line for Line, Ether is the greatest dis song of alltime
I disagree, whole heartedly... a lot of shit was filler until the 3rd verse
NAS IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME !!!!!!
Anyone who thinks Papoose is any where close to Jigga is either 1. Deaf, 2. Stupid, 3. Both, or 4. Just joining us in rap fandom in the last 2 weeks and doesn't have enough experience to even comment.
Pap???? Dude can't sell a record to a relative. Never will. Jay is the epitome of how it should be done. Period. Regions and sales don't matter in the argument either. His catalog is prolific. His moves have had few missteps.
Come on man. Listen to the lyrics. Fallen by itself is better than most rappers entire catalogs. Give credit where it is due. NO other rapper - Stat for Stat - can even be put next to Jay. Yeah LL, that includes you.
Please get off the b.s....you're welcome

Nas lied about jays age (come listen to jay he's born in 69" do the math) also nas is smart he said that to fool u stupid mofo's. P.S. Damn ya'll dont really listen to rape u jus skim through it.
@Ether Full Of Jokes? Yeah, right........ says
Better then "Hit Em Up"
Please wake up.
@SWAG
Have you ever seen Nas perform live?
He has NO stage presence. He puts the whole crowd to sleep.
I dunno, but to me, 35...6....7, is closer to 40 than it is to 30.
Thats just me tho, I dont own a calculator. So I could be wrong.
If Jay Z told yall dick riders to suck him off I'm sure he could get more than 50% to actually do it. Yall on here talkin bout when dis nigga birthday and what year he was born. OMFG. Get a life........
Ummm wrong..jay-z is actually on paper 39 now..check your facts...or better yet stop sucking his cock

nigga have you seen nas live???? if you have you wouldnt make a stupid ass comment like that....soon as nas thorw a beat on the crowd goes crazy...lol he dont even have to say the words...the crowd will say it for him...get the fuck outta here nigga....nas is the greatest of all time...he inspired all your favorite rappers ( jay, big, wu tang, big L, pun etc) jay is hot just aint better than nas....i remember when niggaz hated jay because he was always on that bubblegum pop shit...ask anybody...back in the days real brooklyn & bronx niggaz wasnt fuckin with jayz but everybody fucked with nas...
Ether is a lyrical ass whippin, straight up and down. You can bump that shit now and it still has its bite. And to top it off, Jay was on top of the world and was on a incredible winning streak before Ether. Jay been getting shitted on ever since. It's just funny to me how niggas refuse to say Jay lost.
Nas is the GOAT with Rakim coming in at 2nd place.
Some of you need to give it up. Who cares if he's 40, he's still hotter than nigga's that are 20. So why hate? Stop being so jealous. How many years ago was ether? What has Nas done since? Case closed.
NOBODY NOTICES THE DIDDY ROC ON DA RING(WEDDING) FINGER.MAYBE NOT!!!! HELL IF HE DONT THEN I WILL

PLAYBOY... I have seen Nas live 3 months ago.. and he put on a better show than Luda.... He killled it.
dont speak fool
with each new generation in rap the torch is passed bzy bee to kool moe dee to ll cool j to rakim/kane/krs to big/pac/nas to dmx/jayz/em
drugs got dmx and em and jay emerged as the winner after the black album he fell back and waited for 50/jah/jada/luda/juvie/camron/ 50 took the lead then the era of the ring tone rappers started souljah boy/wheezy /rick ross /jezzy /ti / mims/young joc. rap is a young mans game wheezy it trying to step up real fans of rap should let him. i remember laughing at my uncle when he told me that melle mel was better than rakim. my friends was laughing at him and he walked away ashamed it was rakims time to shine like its wezzys time and the young joc and souljah boy lets get outta the way and take it to vh1 and sip some tea and let the young folks show us the new dances .......
