Rocboy Hits the Couch: Jay-Z on The Late Show with David Letterman
Earlier this week pictures of Jay-Z ducking into The Ed Sullivan Theater, home of The Late Show with David Letterman, were floating around. I always thought those talk shows were taped earlier in the day and put on the air the same night. Guess that isn’t always the case; Jay-Z’s appearance aired last night.
As the show ticked down to the last 15 minutes, and an Etch-A-Sketch bit was said to be coming up next, it looked like Hov was gonna get the musical guest treatment. You know, just rap and he gets the Dave thanks for coming out handshake afterwards. Which would have been the dismiss of the year. Turned out the Etch-A-Sketch bit wasn’t next, Jay-Z came right after the commercial break.
Jay and Dave joked a bit, then he took the stage to perform “Rocboys.” David Letterman’s band leader, Paul Shaffer doesn’t allow any music performer to lip sync nor sing-a-long to a track, it’s live instrumentation, trumpets in the air, and Hov putting up 23.. 25.. Yeah, this is easy for him.
Thank mangoface for the vid.
☼ What's Your Opinion? ☼
You are the luckiest man alive. I ain’t talking aboutyour money, you deserve that. I’m talking about your girl. How did you manage to get her?
Wow, I thought I was the only one that was thinking this. Some females will do anything for money even if they have thier own. What a shame. I wonderif he didn’t have money would they be together?
man damn that, if a camel looking azz nigga with money get a fine azz bitch with money, then he just got game period point bank.
he should have wore a suit. he is the president of Def Jam
D, IF A CAMEL LOOKING PERSON WITH MONEY GETS A FINE WOMAN WITH MONEY THAT MEANS THAT HE HAS MONEY NOT GAME MY FRIEND. AS KBG QUESTIONED, DO YOU THINK THAT THEY WOULD BE TOGETHER IF HE HAD A REGULAR 9-5? I DON’T. SHE DID DO HERSELF A DISSERVICE.
nawtyxes you bring up a good point, but look at Russell (yea we on a first name basis) he don’t never wear a suit either
NAWTYXES, IF HE WAS DONALD TRUMP I WOULD SEE YOUR POINT BUT THIS IS HIP HOP. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT YOU SHOULD DRESS FOR THE JOB THAT YOU HAVE. HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF DEF JAM NOT MICROSOFT.
KBD, do you really think that B could date a postman? She had to find someone on her level - so the money and fame didn’t get in the way - come on grow up!
DANI, THAT ATTITUDE IS WHY SO MANY WOMEN END UP ALONE. TOO MUCH ABOUT MONEY AND NOT ENOUGH ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP. YOU DON’T SEE SUCCESFUL MEN ACTING LIKE THAT. DO I THINK THAT SHE COULD DATE A POSTMAN? ANSWER: YES IF SHE REALLY LOVED HIM. BUT I FOR GOT WOMEN ARE ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. YOU JUST MADE THAT POINT. WHAT A SHAME.
One of my best friends is a postman and he owns four houses. You base someone being on her level as someone with money. Nevermind love and happiness. Chief 00 is right. Think before you open your mouth or you tell someone to grow up.
damn chief and kbg, what kind of busta want some one thats not on there level, ya’ll got to be lame, thats hustlin backwards. so they can’t be together because of the money because they both got it, remember the song to the left dummies, so why would she need him, he funny looking, so it gots to be personality or should i say game.
D, YOU ARE BASING BEING ON THE SAME LEVEL AS TO HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE. BEING ON THE SAME LEVEL IS MENTALLY NOT FINANCIALLY. NOBODY SAID THAT THEY CAN’T BE TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE MONEY. THAT IS YOU MAKING THINGS UP. THE SONG TO HTE LEFT IS JUST THAT… A SONG. SHE DOSEN’T NEED HIM. ONCE AGAIN NOBODY SAID THAT. SHE HAS HIM FOR HIS MONEY THOUGH. PERSONALITY, THATS FUNNY. QUESTION IF HE HAD NO MONEY BUT AS YOU CALL IT GAME WOULD SHE BE WITH HIM? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR HONEST ANSWER.
once again she don’t need his money,do you know how much she is worth. she could have anybody with way more money than him, so why him, answer that and don’t say money she just as rich as him, check the sound scan and see how many records she and destiny child sold, way more than him and the roc, just give the man credit, i’m just keeping it real.
D, NOBODY IS SAYING THAT SHE NEEDS HIS MONEY. YOU ARE NOT LISTENING. I GIVE HIM CREDIT HE GOT B. WHAT I AM ASKING AND YOU WILL NOT ANSWER IS THAT IF HE HAD NO MONEY WOULD HE HAVE HER? ANSWER: NO. I BET IF SHE HAD NO MONEY HE WOULD STILL BE WITH HER. WHAT PART DON’T YOU GET? NO AMOUNT OF “GAME” OR “PERSONALITY” WOULD EVER HAVE GOTTEN HER WITHOUT HIS MONEY. SHE HAS MONEY YES BUT WE ALL KNOW THIS IS THE WAY THAT WOMEN OPERATE. WELL I THOUGHT THAT WE KNEW. JUST KEEPING IT REALLY REAL.
bullshit if she had no money she would just be a chick on the side, stop playing man, in memphis its plenty of hoes that look just as good, but the money she have killem. only a lame would fall for that.
D, SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THAT MEN OPERATE JUST LIKE WOMEN? I THINK NOT. I DOUBT THAT SHE WOULD BE HIS CHICK ON THE SIDE. ARE YOU SAYING THAT WITHOUT HER MONEY HE WOULDN’T BE WITH HER? YOU CAN’T BELIEVE THAT. SHE IS WITH HIM BECAUSE OF HIS BANK ACCOUNT. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN’T SEE THAT. JUST ASK SHAQ… JUST ASK SHAQ. YOU JUST SIGN ON AS D SO I DON’T KNOW IF YOU ARE A MAN OR A WOMAN BUT IF YOU ARE A MAN, AND HAVE MONEY, JUST BE CAREFUL. IF SOMEONE IS OBVIOUSLY BETTER LOOKING THAN YOU AND YOU HAVE MONEY, THEY DON’T WANT YOU THEY WANT WHAT YOU HAVE. TIP FOR TODAY.
bull shit shut the f**k up
YOU KNOW THAT I AM RIGHT. THATS WHY YOU ARE CURSING BUT WHATEVER I AM NOT GOING TO STOOP TO YOUR LEVEL. GOODBYE, NICE TALKING TO YOU THOUGH.

D, why are you so mad you can’t be right about everything. Grow up man. We just talking man.
YOUR A F*CKING ASSHOLE MJ
Sorry D, you must be one of those ugly ass niggas, that is why you are so mad. Just admit that your dumb ass is wrong. Don’t be mad at me be mad at your parents they made your ugly ass. you can’t talk without the name calling so that is why i am throwing it back.
MJ, ugly niggas is always mad LOL.
I’m glad that I started this topic. It seems that most guys know how this goes. To that guy that dosen’t I hope that he learns before ot’s too late.
to mj i aint a n***r but your rite u n***rs are ugly
Nobody called you a n***r, I said nigga, their is a difference. We all know why you mad though. LOL.
mj as u seem to know everything why am i so mad????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and i aint black im white
So what you are white. are you saying that because you white you can’t be called a nigga, you just a ugly white nigga thats who you are. Thats why you defend that ugly ass jay-z. He don’t deserve Beyonce he only got her cause he got money. Thats it
If Jay-Z smiles he ugly if he has a serious face he ugly this is proof that money can buy you love just ask Beyonce. How could she?
Why do racist people get on here (D) why u got to call people n***rs when u prolly darker then westly snipes. Besides n***r dont mean black person, yeh it was decended from the spanish word meaning black the color but then white people abused it during our time of oppression
BLACK MAN, D IS JUST AN IDIOT HIS STUPID ASS DOESN’T KNOW ANY BETTER. HE IS ONE OF THOSE TOUGH BEHIND THE COMPUTER KEYS TYPE OF GUY. A REAL PUNK, THATS ALL. HE WILL NEVER SAY NIGGER TO A BLACK PERSONS FACE.
