Divine intervention Indeed. There are sooooo many fake rappers and he isn’t one of them. He spoke some real words. No one ever comes back when they make it. I know for damn sure I’m coming back to my parents old community one day. I never had to experience the real struggle, but I’m compelled to give back.

I’m glad Oprah took a trip down to the projects but why she is not all made up like she usually is, when she go to a white person environment she’s all made up.

From Grams to Grammys indeed…Im so proud of Jay ..I feel like I gave birth to this n***a myself……Keep doing it baby boy …You and Be are doing a great job keepin yo bizness to yoself…….Kiss Oprah for me…
Your biggest fan…

May your hands always be busy,

May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

come on now yall really giving respect to this guy???? he acts as if he doesnt make honest mistakes, and for him to blackball chris’s career like that, was just shameful on jay’s behalf. If anything, he should have lended a helping hand or suggested counseling for the young man, not take food off his plate behind that herpe giving abusive ass biotch!!!! jay, your successful, but you killed many addicts to get where your at today. god dont like ugly man.

I disagree with Jay on how the rappers have disarmed the word “n****r” …because if a white person calls a black person that word we still get mad.
@Asam11 if you look at the top picture she is all made up ..maybe the other footage was off the record.

I agree whole heartedly with…..because every time I hear a White person say this word I cringe! When I see another Black person excepting a White person saying this word I get infuriated!!

I use it, I will not lie. I use it with close friends and family and I try my hardest to never say it in public. When I hear people like “Nigga, naw naw nigga, niggaaaaaaaaaa” all loud and what not in public, I walk the other way avoid eye contact and think ‘that person just don’t know what type of spectacle they are making of themselves.’

Ya can’t worry about other people changin, just change yaself or better yourself. In society you get in where you fit in, not allow then force you way in. I dont refer to people by the N-word hate, I check them when they refer to me as so… But I dont as them to change, who they are cause nobody perfect, bigger issue, is how we find ways to prolong blk on blk tense… let lets our black people express themselve,even if we dont approve of the way they carry themself. Just don’t f**k with them thats what I do… Not a Hip hop Fan

AND THEY SAID JAY CANT GO BACK HOME GUESS WHEN HE HEARD THAT?WHEN HE WAS BACK HOME…………..FLAT OUT ANY MAN THAT HATES JAYZ FOR HIS HUSTLE,GRIND,SUCCESS……..IS EITHER JEALOUS ARE JUST A HATER PERIOD POINT BLANK……THIS NICCA WENT FROM SELLIN DRUGS TO SELLIN CD’S AN DSO ON AND SO ON……..MUCH RESPECT B…..KEEP PUSHIN

It’s funny cuz if they they cant talk bad about you they ain’t wanna talking about you at all. So let them talk. And i laugh cuz this nation is BUILT by hustlas, bootleggers, and thieves but yet people frown on him saying what he said but lets be real what better person to teach a hustle than a hustler? He saw a niche and used his “illegal” money to better himself like all the other “hustlas, bootleggers, and thieves” that did it back when it was illegal to drink etc

Cosign Angry Corn flakes. Also If you know history and understand the atrociousness of how black people were regarded, white people apparently never meant this word for good. So ofcourse one would and should get mad if a white person says it. Doesn’t that make since? Whats good for the goose is not always good for the gander especially in this case.

YEAH BUT IF THE WORD IS “DISARMED’ IF YOU’RE TAKING THE POWER FROM IT AND TURNING IT POSITIVE THEN IT SHOULDN’T HURT IF A WHITE PERSON SAYS IT RIGHT…

Yeah Jigga man am feeling ya…

I don’t know what crazier, thinking you change “N I G G E R” or “N I G G A” to a word to mean good or trying to get a good meal out of sand paper. That word was not meant for good and can never be meant that way, no matter how many times you use it. Eddie Griffin said the only reason why he uses it so much is because by using it that takes power away from it, but it does the exact opposite and white people are sitting there laughing, and Eddie wonders why he isn’t getting the spots like Martin, Jamie and Cedric the Entertainer, Eddie is funny than damn near all of them but continued use only stops him from reaching his true potential, I mean how many people would get fired from their jobs for using that word, everyone who uses it and its only because of IGNORANCE
that people still use it.

That was interesting!!

Interesting exerpts. Looking forward to read the interview. In regards to the his use of the N word, its only his opinion. I can’t fault him for his opinion. I can’t help but wonder though for all who criticize him for his use of the word ask yourself are you guilty of using contemptable speech such as profanity? Do we walk a straight and narrow path first before we require it of others?

Justttttttttt my opinion.

‘Ice’ is frozen water yet we use it 2 mean diamonds.
‘Whatz up’ means what is up in that direction, yet we use it 2 say Hello.
The same older folks who argue about nigga had older folks argue with them for saying ‘what up cat?(a cat is a feline, but it also means homey), or shes a ‘fox’ meaning she is pretty. Words mean what we say they mean!
There are still 1000′s of KKK memberz, skin heads, and neo-nazi organization who use the world everyday negatively and yet no one who argues the use of the world spends any time going after them..you spend time going after ppl who couldnt possible mean it the same way they do! Crabs in the barrel mentality.
When the white man said the word was cool, it was cool, soon as they said we dont like it any more, blacks folks did exactly what they said 2 do, and followed their will 2 try 2 stop it. Amazing, simply Amazing!

Wow Oprah in Marcy, I miss Bed-Stuy,…….a little!

A word is, just that…. A word. It has as much meaning as one person (or in the case of the “N” word) many people give it. In addition to that… its not more so about who say’s it, its more so about how it is used when being said. As well as who it is being said too. Which is the same with any word in any language. Meaning, words are made so that they express and fit that particular situation. If a “white” person, and or any other person for that fact of the matter can call some one the “N” word, and there be no repercussions… then they said it around the right “N” word.

HOW EVER YOU THINK TO BUT IT, THE WORD NI663R IS ALL OUT DISRESPECTFUL AND A DEGERGATION TO THE SPIRIT OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY; JAY Z AND ANY ONE ELSE WHO THINKS THEY “DISARMED THE WORD” ARE IGNORANT OF THE DAMAGE IT CAUSE COLORED FOLKS TODAY. yOU DON’T GO TO WORK SAYING, “HONKY’ OR ‘PECKERWOOD” TO ANY WHITE PERSON; SO WTF! ABOLISH THE SO CALLED N WORD. IN THE HOOD OR SO CALLED GHETTOS OF AMERICA, IT’S AN IMPLICIT RULE TO KILL AND DISRESPECT A BLACK PERSON IF IT’S DONE BY A BLACK PERSON, BUT IF THE WHITE MAN, OR POLICE COME IN THE HOOD AND SHOOT UP SOMEONE, THEN THE MARCH AND PROTEST IS ON. A WORD IS NOT JUST A WORD, WORDS MEAN SOMETHING AND N166A MEANS DUMB AZZ, INFERIOR ,SECOND HAND, UNEDUCATED, UGLY AZZ, BLACK MAN, WOMAN, BOY OR GIRL.

I can care less about the word BUT people should know when to use it. Hanging out with friends/family ok cool, say it however. But out in public is a nono because people (especially in america, because it is VERY conservative) will take something and form it in a way that enables them to bytch/moan and shove their morality down other peoples throats…A word isn’t affecting anybody, its peoples actions. People these days aren’t taught manners. MANNERS= “ways of behaving with reference to polite standards; social comportment”. As long as they aren’t doing it out in public, get over it. Stop complaining about a word and complain about how these 9 year olds are getting a hold of drugs.

The ‘N’ word will never have the spin that “this generation and future generations” want to put on it as long as it’s all gd when a fellow black person/hood/urban person says it but once the word is slipped from a white person’s mouth you get offended, then no, the word still means what it means. I don’t “act” like a “N” I don’t think like a “N” and I do not refer to my people as “N” so I don’t use it.

And look at Oprah’s hipocrital behind being in the hood when it’s convenient for her with a rapper..the same title as Ludacris, etc that she judges rather than do her own homework on lyricists instead of just assuming they all up to no good and have them on her show just like she puts shine on rapist, serial killers, wife-beaters..well, except Chris Brown, somehow he doesn’t fall under that list of men that beat women, even if it was just “one time”.

THE (N) WORD IS A TERRIBLE WORD AND SAD ENOUGH THE BLACK RACE KEEP IT ALIVE. WHEN WE START TO LOVE OURSELVES MORE, PERHAPS THIS WORD WILL BE HISTORY……………

So many words in the english language that are descriptive but; just like profanity there are certain words that just pack a punch and get more attention~ Might get this issue~ interested to read what O was able to pull out of J~

this was very interesting

i wonder do Oprah knows Jay-Z is freemason to third degree !

@daqueen123 I wonder if she is the exception and maybe the only female freemason or if she’s just an eastern star? Girl there is a reason he’s being blown to such proportions, check out the Jay-Z decetion on YouTube

awww maybe jay z is possible cute…like a baby camel…anyways its sweet they have date nights every sunday.

While he and Bey were on vacation overseas, didn’t their bodyguard and a photographer get into a scrap because the photog called them the N word? Way to “disarm” the word, Jay.
