i wish people would stop puttin crowns on m.c.’s you can say they r ur favorite rapper but until you hear every m.c. out there, theres no such thing as the king of hip hop now,later,before or whatever, its just music, enjoy it.
@Poshen. Crowning rappers the best rapper is a big part of Hip Hop, its part of its competitive nature that helps build it and makes people work harder to be better than the next man. Rappers where crowning themselves and others since Run DMC, Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane and so fourth. And it’s something that you see in every competitive field, Michael Jordan is crowned the best basketball player of all time even tho we have never seen “every” basketball player around the world, from the people that have made it he was the best of them and thats all that matters. I do agree that we do need to appreciate the music more but to do that you cant destroy the competitive nature that makes the art what it is.
Holy crap this was a GREAT GREAT interview! Howard stern is, indeed, the man for asking such awesome questions and diggin’ inside the brain of the great Hov.
Amazing interview. Howard Stern does an outstanding job analyzing and criticizing the life of our beloved Jay-Z. Would recommend this to any and everybody who has/will ever be a Jay-Z fanatic.
Sorry but two albums and a bunch of mash up records do not make you the King. Not even close. In fact, it makes you similar to a bunch of other greats, but not legends, like Pun. Dying does not make one great. Domination over time does. Jay is a king. Snoop is a king. Nas is a king. Scarface is a king. Biggie, like Pun, are examples that greatness that could have been, but ultimately, wasn’t realized over time.
I dunno , biggie and not so much pun, were given their dues, they were kings. Maybe it didn’t reach the peak but I’d say they were kings in it. And Pac was def a King, his influence and everything

Very good interview with a different perspectiv of questions coming from a non Hip Hop interviewer in Howard Stern. Got to learn some new things about Jay-Z. Gotta get that book!
JAY is definitely going down as one of the definitive artists of HIP-HOP..to anyone who dont think so..u have no valid points to even begin making an argument..@DUDE WHO SAID NAS WAS A king..no sir..NAS has chosen to spend most of his career making mediocre music and thats how history written..if u leave it up to journalists though..every rapper will be written out of the history books and EMINEM will be crowned goat for what?who knows..as he’s also been a rapper who chose mediocrity..but his have come with high sales..BIGGIE..WAS king before he died..@dude who said 2 aLBUMS DONT MAKE U KING..u definitely were not old enough to understand the culture in the 90’s..BIG AND PAC ran the game for at least 3 yrs..BIG HELPED BRING A WHOLE ENTIRE COAST BACK..THE EAST WAS DEAD..
I dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars
They criticize me for it but they all yell, holla
If skills sold, truth be told, I’d probably be, lyrically Talib Kweli
Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
(Then I sold five mil)
I aint been rhymin like Common since
First Bitch
Howard is the man
Jay is the king of hip hop right now

HOV is hella smart, street smarts>book smarts
Sick interview!
“Look at this pussy he’s writing poems and shit” – Lmfao….that was hilarious.
Raw interview. Very dope. Big Up Howard, Jig.

There is no artist in Hip Hop that is more influential today than Jay Z. I can’t wait to read his book.
IS THERE ANY PLACE I CAN DOWNLOAD THIS AT?
JAY-Z DESERVES THOSE MILLIONS, FREEMASON OR NOT, YOU GOTTA GIVE THE MAN RESPECT. SMART WORDS JAY 5/5
thorough interview..
why they put so much focus on his father was strange tho..
great great interview.
WOW
excellent.
First one-hour interview I’ve listened to in years. Buying the book.
good shit Jay
great interview def. buying the book. too much talk about race….
We can’t not talk about HipHop w/o talking about race issues.
This is a racist country and HipHop originated from communities that were broken by both racism and capitalism.
great
Classic, brilliant dude
Jay shot his brother?
that shit was long
