Jay-Z joins Tim Westwood to discuss Illuminati rumors, baby rumors, the Willow Smith phenomenon, and controlling his empire
Posted by Miss Info under beef , good for hip hop , new music , quotes , relationships and family , things I like[25] Comments
Jay-Z joined my UK show boss Tim Westwood for another epic sit-down to discuss his slew of new products (Jay-Z Hits Collection Vol.1, Decoded and more); saying that the items are collectibles and starter kits for his new fans who just think “New York State of Mind,” is Hov’s piece de resistance (*headsmack*).
Jay tells Tim that he was especially moved by a cloistered nun who wrote about how she knew hip hop was important but needed a book like Decoded to understand how and why. Jay: “Rap music is poetry, and we’re modern day poets.” (sidebar: wasn’t there some debate amongst academics last week about whether rap lyrics should be categorized as poetry? With some hip hop folks arguing no? )
They also discussed the Illuminati accusations, which seem to me to be built by obsessive conspiracy theorists and then spread by morons. Lol, and that led naturally to the King Hammer question (no, not this Hammer, but this Hammer ; )…
But when Jay-Z and Tim Westwood talk about Beyonce’s pregnancy rumors, I disagree when Hov scoffs at the possibility of US Weekly (or another tabloid) being able to leak the news before the couple does. Sadly, I think anything is possible in this age of paparazzi-gotcha-journalism.
Also, fascinating….Hov’s reaction to Willow Smith and their first meeting. He was most impressed by her, as a 9-year-old, being aware enough to tell him she was nervous, lol.
Listen to the full 17-minute interview after the jump!
We had the exclusive sneak peek last week, but here is the full interview:

I’m concerned about Tim’s wellbeing. He doesn’t look well at all.

It’s funny. You have people who Blatantly twist facts, attention whore and gossip hound for their attempts at stories and people eat it up. But We get someone that actually reports it straight and utilizes HER blog for a light expression of her views and she gets heat for it? It’ll never make sense to me. But some folk just aren’t meant to get it.

he leaked it the day of. but yeah jay-z sounded a lil’ bit too cocky to think that he could never be found out. let one of them bodyguards have a bad day and then tell somebody’s newspaper. then next thing you know that big guy julius who guards beyonce has a tell-all book out.

I think it’s strange that Jay and Kanye are now talking about the rumors now at the same time? he didn’t talk about the several hand shakes and signals. What did you think he was going to say I am in it? My gripe with him and others who make it and turn their backs on the hood and peoples. It’s easy to say forget the hood and you don’t owe the hood however when you built your career off the hood and you make annie songs etc you need to give back! oh your guys you sold crack with and told their stories you don’t owe them either???? Dehaven, Jaz-0, Dame, Beenie and foxy etc are all wrong!!! you have no one from your block with you insane. everyone who is strong with a voice is gone. moving on you can download opera on to you job cpu and you will be able to see all content. Thank you Miss info for the interview and for being you.

uh………..maybe he to busy living his own life to worry about what rumors is being said about him.
then when he DO addrss the rumors you all dont believe him any way so why bother.
your saying he dont help the hood YET his carter foundation got their 1st set of kids on there way to go to college. he mention this during the forbes interview with buffett.
when did jay even say forget the hood? 50 said that, but where do jay say this?
he dont have NOONE from his block??? you must dont know the guys he still hang with from day 1 that he still hang with. its called growth, EVERYONE isnt gonna be with you forever.
thats why its said
people enter your life in different seasons for different reasons.
when you get older then you’ll get it

Brooklyn B what did Jay do for marcy!!! where are the new parks and playgrounds? what happen to jobs skills and job training. affordable day care. where is he at on marcy day, thanksgiving etc. He could not have out growned Dehaven when he slept in his house, broke bread with him. When klein came home what did jay do for him???? Jaz-o he out growned him also. The crappy deal Jay offered him was lame. State property received how much for touring??? $250. per night get your facts in order. What has he done for the hood!!! People have business plans and need help does he care? Brian pumper out right clowned him and his wife do ou know why?? Jay has no real people around him anymore. also payback for that slick stuff with dame and his wife. What has Jay done for Brooklyn. I lived in Bedstuy for 12 years. Don’t be fooled Harlem, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx NYC

marcy is GOVERNMENT HOUSING. what is he “supposed” to do? exactly?
why is jay being held higher then your local black leader, politicians, local business men and women who CURRENTLY live in the area?
acording to klein jay gave him a milli when he came home.
klein issue with jay according to klein was jay gave him money and akon gave him a job.
you said you lived in the stuy for 12 years.
where are you from and what are you doing for the area you from?
i was born on flatbush in apartments
if im a billionaire, hell, even if i was worth over 500k im not responsible for my old apartment building elevator not working.
i just find it funny that jay z is held higher then the people that actually say they are responsible for this.
the NAACP is a lobbyist group that supposed to lobby for black causes. why not switch the energy of “why jay wont” to the real people that supposed to do for us?
de haven is older then jay
so are you REALLY telling me that jay is forever in debt to dehaven cause jay slept on his couch when jay was a teenager?
that issue is they issue. with the emory guy JUST coming home and dehaven out
there might have been some snitching on dehaven part
who knows.
jaz-o and his shitting deal?
okay, so he was supposed to give jaz-o what?
video shine in aint no nigga?
a feature on jigga what and video feature?
features on reasonable doubt?
you making it like jay was on jaz shit and when jay got one he turned his back
jaz-o was all on jay shit up until they fall out over a deal.
jay was on the kings kounty album
but you know how the game work
jaz-o put jay on
jay gets big
now jaz-o gotta be under his “little” man
so any deal will be a “shitty” deal cause jaz-o gotta be under the guy who he put on.
as for state prop
chris and neef got 1200 to split. okay
so was they posed to get paid 10k a show?
how bout a million.
jay used to carry big daddy kane bags when he was touring with kane.
its called paying dues, which the new rappers DONT do, which is why as much as 50 cent “looked out” for his artist they STILL shitted on him.
they was opening acts and got paid as opening acts. i dont see whats wrong with that.

@Brooklyn B I guess you are very young. Where I’m from people from the hood give back to the hood. You give block parties, put up new basketball courts, playgrounds with new padded flooring for starters. The local black leaders is not screaming Marcy and Brooklyn all day on cd’s making millions and not giving back to the community!!!! Jay-z is!!!!!
The brooklyn Don Calvin Klein has never said Jay gave him a million!!! rumors that your man Jay-z has throwned out to make him look good. His first phone call was from a Real Harlem (where I’m From)don named Kevin chiles reached out to him. Then was jay just welcoming him Home. No gifts, no party, No real king of the New york welcome. Are you serious and you rap about this man for years. Fraud as dude. I’m know the code of the streets and it feed the wolves, Go get food and bring it back to the family/pack you dig. We are hustling to get a way out. If one person make it then he can open the door for all of us. funny as hammer help out everyone when he had it and is respected as a king. Hammer can hold his head high and still have love from his hood and other real people no body guards. Jaz-o got a shitty deal because Jay didn’t give no control over his project. Jaz-0 couldn’t at least be an A&R for The label. puffy put andre harell on and still have him around after puff was fired from uptown. Harlem my dude again. omillio sparks got rape for his publishing on “give it to me” peddi crack got rape for songs. Beenie stayed in Jail because Jay would not vouched for him. Then why come to court then. It’s called paying dues when Jay-Z steal from an up and coming artist to keep his money high. So we need to keep the young black males down and don’t teach them the traps right let them fall into because no one taught us. Dehaven is his family he is god father to Dehaven daughter are you kidding me. Man we make alot of mistakes in our life time but to turn on your roots, history and in your own words Brooklyn is where I’m from is heartless. This is about black people looking at for each other. This rat did not even go see emory but he went to see bill gates wow. Same people screaming at hammer for selling out are now doing it themselves.

@Super Dave
Jay screaming marcy cause that where he comes from .. “The local black leaders is not screaming Marcy but they are eating in the name of marcy. marcy is feeding them .. Marcy never fed Jay the feens did and even as a hustler you went OT to push weight come home and ballout ..You always gonna shout out where you from …I claim Haiti and was born in haiti so by moral standard they are apart of me but haiti didnt do nothing for me im just from there ..The reason we decide to help our people or where we come from cause we feel like we have a better connection with them more than helping another place ..”if i will help someone why not something that i relate to more” At the end no man owe no man anything period ..Non of us knows him personally so we all cant talk. its a moral decision at the end of the day

Let’s say if there is damning evidence that JayZ is in the Illuminati, then what happens?
Also why do people care about the Illuminati outside of what some christian conspiracy theorist have said?
