perhaps in this interview, but the vast majority of the time she's a real pro and brings an enjoyable personality to her show. She's one of the good ones imo and so much better than Fearne Cotton (who i believe she took over from in her current slot) it's mental
Clara is an amazing interviewer, Always really knows the projects of the person she interviews, genuinely cares about their answers and doesn't make anything awkward or cross lines by asking things too personal. :) loved this
Jay-Z bought a lot of project buildings around Brooklyn just to give back to his neighborhood and the rental rates are much lower than the government rates. He doesn't make any money out of it after all costs but it's simply a caring gesture for his community.
@@TheFeliciakelley If that was a Tax write off, why don't the politicians do it? It's immature to think that every situation has to have a winner AND loser. It's honestly mind-blowing to think in this age that instead of finding more mutually beneficial situations, instead it's the cavemen mentality. Let me put this point to you, Lets say it's true, it was a TAX write-off, was there anybody negatively impacted? It's Legal firstly, secondly if it's cheaper for the residents I'm sure they wouldn't complain. Thirdly, in proportion between his bank account and mine, the difference would be should I buy the new iPhone or not, the impact to his financials (paid to tax or not) would be something to think and weigh but ultimately not lose sleep over. I honestly can't see any major cons. In fact I see Pros from left to right. The best being how he used the laws, to whether for publicity or not, to indirectly shove it to the government. And to be a broken record, Tax write-offs were created FOR this very purpose. It's like your mom saying fine you can go jam another hour if you can pick your sister up from school instead of her walking back alone, when she wanted you to put out the trash.
@@casiosean2 it’s called Corporate Welfare!! Tax havens!! You’re obviously not as mature as you’re stating about me. That’s all politicians do, is wash each other’s hands and backs for favors that enriches themselves.
I really love Clara, she always listens so intently and is so keen, she obviously does her research and gets personally close to the music beforehand and has relevant, interesting questions. Love seeing these interviews!
theabstrakt84 gotta disagree with that statement. He was mentored. His original style and flow was completely different to his late 90s era. He a smart guy and took flow patterns and topics from his predecessors and rivals.he was however born with a great ear for instrumentals and trending topics.
God bless black folks Clara is from Ghana 🇬🇭 shout to her the name Amfo is Ghanaian name Is a big opportunity to interview one of the black billionaires in America Hov
I'm a fan of Jay Z, and i must admit this interview was great, wasn't just about music but also talks about the other Shawn Carter. Flexible interview well done
Keep doing what you're doing Jay Z. Many have so much opinion about what you are and what you are doing. Until you are no longer here only then will the world and us as a people ( black ) overstand your importance. Peace my brother
That Girl True. I guess he's at the point is his career though where he's known for being Jay-Z and then known as being a top tier rapper. His entire life and name alone is bigger than his identity as an artist

I think Jay is finally being the artist he’s always wanted to be. He’s clearly stated in his music that he sold out and made pop records on purpose. “I sold 5 mil and ain’t been rhyming like common sense” I know it’s early but this album will be looked at as another classic in his catalog.
Lool Jay has never 'sold out and made pop records on purpose'.. he's not referencing making pop music, he's referencing not making completely 'conscious hip hop'; the one dimensional sounds hip hop... you have to include the full line for the right context.. Moment of Clarity; ' Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense/But I did 5 mill' - I ain't been rhyming like Common since'
Dude, you obviously have never listened to Jay Z albums all the way through. He’s the same EXACT, you cannot name a single Jay Z album that didn’t have at least 3-4 conscious songs on it. People just tend to listen to whatever’s popular like Tom Ford on MCHG, but didn’t listen to Nickels and Dimes Ana grasps the concept he was giving. Same with everyone falling in love with Hello Brooklyn on AG but sleeping on I Know. He’s the same man, I hate how people who aren’t truly fans and don’t listen to his catalog goes “he’s different now”, not true.
Gotta shout our the pretty and well spoken, chocolate goodness, Clara Amfo. Never seen her before but glad I'm seeing her today. As for the interview, being a big fan of Hov, I've never been the biggest fan of Jigga when he has spoken in interviews over the years but I liked the way he sounded here. Very introspective and the logic behind his thoughts were pretty dead on. Great interview, all around.
Avon Barksdale Yeah that was odd. That's why a lot of people think Jay made up that 4:44am moment just to try and make the title more signficant. I really doubt the dude felt so inspired by the beat/song theme that he woke up in the middle of the night and sat down with a pen and paper writing the lyrics. Sounds very dramatised
People will understand by the next album that 4:44 was a reintroduction of jay z that's why it was so substantive. It's almost like he's hustling from the beginning of his career. Next album will be much more commercial i think.
Jay went from "the street hustler who got out and bragged about it" to "a man who is able to open up and be sensitive. Yet he can still go back to who he was in a previous life with no problem."
Clara is so damn good at her job
yeah she's great, very likeable and knows her music. Always chilled to the max too
Hannah Taylor yeah Clara is awesome😊
Really, They just seem like generic fluff questions to me. It's speak and spell interview questions to me!!!!!

LishTV I love the interview too. That's a sexy black lady...wow
*Jay-z is a living legend.*
And I tell you why: everybody wanna be Hov but Hov is still alive ;)
He really is!!!!!!!!!!
indeed he is.
Jay-Z bought a lot of project buildings around Brooklyn just to give back to his neighborhood and the rental rates are much lower than the government rates. He doesn't make any money out of it after all costs but it's simply a caring gesture for his community.
Who told you that?! 🤔
Tax write off and community building!!!!

Jay is intellectual and from an early age knew exactly how to promote his image to the world. He is an icon in my eyes.

Great interview. Very natural. Good work Clara!
he sounds like hes rapping when he speaks. just throw a beat over this interview and job done
true that
Pffft. Simple minds are easily entertained.
paksallion I just said the same thing. He talks how he raps. I guess his talent is truly honest.
louie000007 yeah its a valid point. babies get entertained over literally anything and they have simple minds.
mistermiah21 yes and?
I'm a fan of Jay Z, and i must admit this interview was great, wasn't just about music but also talks about the other Shawn Carter. Flexible interview well done
He's really wealthy...yet so humble...if this was let's say one of these new mumble rappers they'd be acting all fresh and cool.
He's also 47 years old, when those guys get to that age they'll relax too.
When Jay-Z was young once too.
Go to his old interviews. i bet you'll say different.
Back in the day jay z was the king of bragging😂 but he was a smart man, he's just more grown now.
Nokukhanya Nthanzi ita because he came from nothing so he knows how it is to be on both sides and he knows how to act which is commendable
This girl is good well done Clara
When things are darkest, light is on it’s way.

Brilliant interview! Jay is super private and quite closed off but he was so natural and relaxed here. Well done Clara!
Wonderful interview. I have so much respect and admiration for Jay.
Enjoying this interview
Until everyone is free no one is free in really life💯
Love the man, fountain of wisdom.
Love the hair glad I'm not the only afro lover
We won't see another interview with Hov in a long time. Appreciate this one! The greatest of all time Jiggaman Jay HOVA!
I always admired Jay, he knows how to make hits and speak wisdom in his music and during the course of an interview.
Keep doing what you're doing Jay Z. Many have so much opinion about what you are and what you are doing. Until you are no longer here only then will the world and us as a people ( black ) overstand your importance.
Peace my brother
We need more people like you and him
Clara is very beautiful AND a great interviewer!!!!!
Best interview and interviewer ever that I've watched and listened to during his career
Interview conducted very well by Clara. 2 thumbs up!!
Nice speech 💙🎵🎶🎷🎸🎤🇬🇧🇺🇸
I just realized I haven't heard him speak before? lol

Have so much respect for this man as a musician and person...great interview.
I'm just realizing how genuine Jay is. He's passionate when he speaks about karma and being for a good cause. 👑 GREATNESS...
AMAZING interview
It's always so heart-warming to me, to see a public person to be a good guy. :)

Jay Z - I think I've been on that show, yeah, yeah

Great job Ms Amfo. Fantastic interview.
I love Jay-Z for being REAL.

Nice
Good interview
“Have you got anything written down?” .......you don’t know jay z very well lol
😂😂😂Jay z just forgave her for that 1 slip up.
I was thinking the same thing! Lol! He's known for not writing down his raps!
He did say on 444 he woke up and wrote those lyrics so meh

Avon Barksdale he is an artist just like the great ones he DNT writes raps he write checks also how would u think his creative side would works
Clara is absolutely stunning!!!
Great interviewer. Good energy. I like her accent/voice too

British accents are so pleasant to hear.
Im so glad that they used a reg title and not a headline title

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I LOOOOOVE that Jay-Z watched the leaked GOT episode like the rest of us!
Give the man a glass of water he keeps apologizing about his voice...
nassaid I know right! I was about to make him a cup of lemon water and honey.

was waiting on a question about chester tbh
Conn Moss they did talk about him; they played a section of that conversation live on air but I guess for some reason it didn't make the cut here
I walk leaving, four footprints my hood since/ my book smarts my faith of the unknown and a good heart #goat
