Jay-Z feat. John Mayer - D.O.A. (live)

[PurdyMusic]

check out my music IM a mix of this !!

[gogogophers22]

@PurdyMusic No you're not.

[LogenKeller]

At 0:50 John Mayer was thinking:

How come my amp is so far away from me?

[dontevermind]

This is just great, finally rap stands up against autotune and works together with the greatest man who keeps blues and rock alive. This is how I like it!

[edbecerra4]

John Mayer is a guitar player???

[indio2dr]

@edbecerra4 Does this not show it?

[davidlloydtoyou]

AMERICAN CROWDS ARE SO DEAD! SORT IT THE FUCK OUT

[vjrockinyourworld]

this is amazing! mayer and royster Jr. on one stage you know it gotta be epic. I love how jay z brought real music back to hip hop

[jazziejoe1]

Toney Roster is the baddest drummer out here you digg!

[GuitarKidddd]

Love this!

[kateldomful]

any1 notice the censored is fucked

[BadLittleZombie]

I wish autotune would die... and burn... in hell...

[jr4chargers]

@BadLittleZombie every artist uses pitch correctors AKA autotune. All record companies Edit there music for the albums. Like John Mayer says there's good autotune and the bad one, and usually the bad one is the one that stands out, Just because artist use Autotune in there albums doesn't mean they needed it when they sing live. The bad autotune is the one that artist like T-pain, Lil Wayne etc... use. That's why they don't sing live and when they do they sound horrible.

[danbreen13]

Jay-Z, John Mayer and Tony Royster Jr= UNSTOPPABLE!

[EM148]

Tony Royster and JM on the same stage? too much talent too much!!!!

[ThisBoy91]

Not sure if this is Jay Z's song or John Mayer's.

[SamboraMayer]

Those 10 seconds from 0:35 to 0:45 are just amazing to hear. I've heard them a thousand times already.

[skyblumelody]

I love both Jay and Jon Mayer!

[enbrigatti]

very good

[josiahVEVO]

Rap = Jay-Z himself.

Guitar = John Mayer. No description needed

Drummer = Tony Royster Jr. one of the greats.

Dope!!!

[Daniel7cmr]

shhhhhh, plz Jay-z be quiet, I'm trying to hear the killing JM's guitar!!

[parkermckinleymyers]

Anybody here not just for Mayer or Jay-Z, but for an incredible collaboration between two artists at the top of their game? Damn.

[VicRoseMusic]

this shit makes me want to pick the electric guitar back up

[CougarBaitYL4L]

HOLY FUCK

[Skoog13]

37 people was autotuned.

[MusicOfKeng]

Just so everyone doesn't mistake it--This song is performed by John Mayer ft. Jay Z.

[ferarra671]

@MusicOfKeng Hahahaha worst shit ive ever heard.

[MusicOfKeng]

@ferarra671 ;)

[SaraaHpoynter]

would be really great without Jay-Z. don't like this rap and the "lalala"

[KaosKaosKaos1]

John Mayer to dam good

[mollet09]

honestly, im not a rap guy, but this lyrics are great

[kharto1]

"Lil Wayne,This Is How You Play The Guitar" -Sincerely John Mayer.

[chuckpalang]

Does anyone know the song John Mayer's playing at 0:14? I would really love to know.

[fenderkeef]

@chuckpalang dirt off your shoulder- jay z

[jayst5]

Wow ....some of the best of our time at what they do Jay-z, Tony Royster, and John Mayer.

[CompoundSmash]

Encontro de Mitos!

[JamesMcCrindle131]

0:43 Jay-Z: oh that's what real music sounds like.... nice

[3Blindsk8er3]

36 people still use autotune!

[Pwn3d360]

the cut out the swear words, but they don't censor john fucking his guitar... hmm

[gdub85]

he might just wear black for years-straight!

[rojies890]

Wow, didn't know john mayer could rock this hard. I would have never guessed after hearing his "your body is a wonderland" nonsense songs. Him, slash, flea, and dave grohl {on drums} need to form a super_group

[DrGanja99]

Joh mayer is a monster made me wanna learn guitar

[47TheHitman]

how da fuck can people dislike this shit when it's rap at it's best with a fucking live band. 36 people out of tune

[DavidMrGrant]

John Mayer is so sick

[aileanwazere]

Fuck Jay-z FUCK John Mayer... Tony Royster Jnr!

( i love jay-z and john mayer)

[BakrYoussef]

Love how Jay-Z cares about his musicians

[TheMOFOmer]

J HOVA KILLED THIS SHIT

[nathangray12]

perfect to combine pop, rock, and rap in this song. its a song about bringing non-digital music back so what better than all live music, no samples

[TheFluffysz]

John Mayer kills it!!!



[Cherrypop513]

Unfortunately we still have autotune

[MrAltairee]

Jay z be lookin at John like "Damn, this nigga good"

[TreyDee45]

So sick! I must Learn this

[PhilipPhan]

F'cking A....I get goosebumps when John Mayer plays.. so freaking good. Damn FUSE for the "clean" version is all...

[supahsekzy]

35 white women got robbed that night

[supahsekzy]

[moemoe55662]

Jay Z GOES HARDER than A MuTHAFucka!

[JoshRosenblumMusic]

2:40 - Jay Z's attempt at the moonwalk

[sportsportsport]

Gay Z and cockafella

[olmo2603]

one of the only rappers i can listen to without thinking wtf im a doing... And JOHN MAYER! does it get any better? damn

[zoranjovicic]

jay is just another level of rapper...

[carsguitars92]

As much as I enjoyed this, I think I'd enjoy it even more if John Mayer's guitar was turned up even louder, as well as Royster's drums, to drown out Jay-Z =D

[Pangea1able]

I play the electric guitar and I'm getting pretty good. However I've noticed that nothing scares white and black folk like seeing a black guy who can play. WTF to that! If I'm carrying it in its case I'm constantly being asked whether its a base or a guitar. I think mind your own f**king business, you'll find out when I start playing. Its okay for a black guy to be a rapper because like it or not he's fulfilling a stereotype but when he starts riffing on a guitar people start to panic.

[Moshermini]

@Pangea1able Dude robert johnson....thats all im gonna say......yeh fall back and lose quietly! cough Hendrix cough.........

[Pangea1able]

@Moshermini Like I said to the other guy I'm speaking to you today. Robert Johnson actually stregthens the potency of my statement but you wouldn't understand. Its the fear in people's eyes when they see that your not a black bass playing clone. Robert Johnson 1938, Henrix, 1970, Kravitz, not really worth mentioning coupla hits and more caramel than black whatever, that was ages ago I'm talking to you today on the 20th Dec 2011. Think before you rush into a response!

[articachicken]

@Pangea1able

I think the problem is that there is not much rock in the pop scene these days. So of course, there are also less black rock musicians. :D

[Pangea1able]

@Moshermini And its not a competition friendo! I was trying to highlight something that I feel to be a great concern in modern music. I was inviting intelligent debate, not, whatever it is that you were trying to do. Stuff like this has to be addressed anyone who's willing to see the wood and the trees will know that there's truth in my original observation. The important question is why, not who? Don't waste my time!

[articachicken]

@Pangea1able

So they are interested in your hobbies, and you tell them to mind their own fucking business? That's not really nice, and like that other guy said:

Jimi Hendrix and there really are alot more! BB King? Chuck Berry? Lenny Kravitz? buddy guy?

You're welcome! :)

[Pangea1able]

@articachicke You've not understood me. Its the the way in which the question is asked and the evident concern on hearing the reply, its a subtle thing that you evidently wouldn't be able to understand. In response to the rest I'm aware of Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry and the like, once again you've not understood me I'm talking about new black guitarists. You shouldn't have bothered to reply until you took time to see whether there was any truth in the statement. Which there is!

[articachicken]

@Pangea1able

Danko Jones. BAM!

[Pangea1able]

Why are there no mainstream black guitarists around? Because theyre actively discouraged from playing the guitar for some bizarre reason. Its ridiculous. There are a million black rappers but not one black guitarist. If there was a black guitarist with John Mayers qualitees I guarantee he would be up there playing that riff. 

[onetwothree257]

Jay Z's face when he plays th riff is hilarious.

[MultiTHUNDER227]

everyone notices Jay-Z and John mayers but nobody notices Tony RoysterJr!

[n1kki6]

@MultiTHUNDER227 TRJ is the shit, but drummers for the most part don't hit national stardom, you ask most people on the street if they know jay-z or john mayer and most people would say yes, Tony Royster Jr. probably not so much unless you a big music fan. He kills it though.

[khoatran4306]

jay z is the man

[TheQUASIKITE]

john mayer makes jay-z look like the over-rated untalented turd that he is

[Pangea1able]

@TheQUASIKITE You've proved yourself to be quite ignorant of the glaring truth. Who dreamt up the song and a hundred other hits like it. I would say think before you speak, but its clear that you've just put this comment there to be provocative. Next time try being provocative by saying something that veers nearer to the truth. It will do you credit.

[rytardedRYAN]

if i got one wish...it'd be to be able to play guitar like john mayer

[itsarresteddevelopem]

Look at the black guy motioning a fat ass when Jay-Z raps, "bring a blonde, preferably with a fat ass." Great catch by the camera.

[dev1618]

more like tony royster jr ft jayz and john mayer

[MrSonny208]

TONY ROYSTER and JOHN MAYER!!!???? holy crappp thats epicness right there!! LEGENDS:

[rydoggog]

More like whos John Mayer

[TheShelbyrana]

what I would do to see this live

[RorytheRoman14]

Do I know the words? No.

Do I know the guitar tune? Yes

Do I listen to this song just for John Mayer? Hell yes.

[increadible8tyfo]

@RorytheRoman14 the dude in the plaid shirt does

[mrjoshi87]

I don't particularly like Jay-Z, but John Mayer is epic as ever! And he looks like he's having so much fun up there! RESPECT!

[serenading365]

And the illuminati signs go up at 0:53!! Nice! Half the audience probably has no idea what the symbol they're making really even means.

[Ononokpono]

@serenading365

Jay zs like O hell I've created a monster

[Ononokpono]

Respond to this video...  Like the modern equivalent of the nazi salute in a way, looks just like it to me

[Leanbb]

Suggesting that John Mayer is a white supremacist is just ridiculous. RESPECT!

[MatthewTheStrogg234]

I bet this is friggin insane live :O

[2012memphisbest]

one of the best performances at madison square garden :D

[capitan5959]

Eminem should do a song with John Mayer

[halle112]

@capitan5959 lol no, john mayer is way over his class !

[VoVikMakaR]

0:40 jay z:"damn....i gotta learn how to play dat shit..."

[estalling]

No one gives a crap about your opinions. STFU and enjoy good music, they are both good artists.

[bloemkooldelia]

john mayer ♥

[SamNewmanMusic]

Jay who?

[TheSupervegata]

@SamNewmanMusic

z nigga

[kidsantu]

this should be John Mayer ft. Jay Z..

[unlvspank]

Shows that John Mayer is much more than a pop star. Love him or hate him you have to admire the skills. What a talent!

[VictorMartinez82]

@unlvspank Im so happy you realized but maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan are you late.

[ferran0643]

any chance to get this song without Jay-Z's voice off somewhere?

[MrTom11234]

fucking awesome

[1THEADI]

best rapper alive with the best guitarist alive! LETS GOOO!!!

[BurgielKing]

@1THEADI HOW the fuck is Jay-Z the best rapper alive? I can name you 10 rappers that are technical, lyrical and flow-based better than Jay z.

[Saju452]

@BurgielKing its a matter of opinion.... chill out

[1THEADI]

@BurgielKing alright, why dont u name them?

Jay Z is the best rapper alive because he's got an amazing flow, he's got awesome punchlines, he raps about life and how life affects him, he doesn't always rap about money or drugs or shit, and He's from Brooklyn!

[BurgielKing]

@1THEADI Krayzie Bone from the Bone Thugs n Harmoney, this guy is a rap LEGEND. Even Jay-Z respect him because the guy is still in the rap game and has the SICKEST flow and speed and still being accurate.

Fort Minor (Mike Shinoda a.k.a rapper from Linkin Park) This guy may be white, but his Reverb style of voice and his lyrics are from another world. This guy even worked with Jay-Z but his flow and vocubulary is higher than the average rapper. Very underrated as a rapper but he keeps it real!

[1THEADI]

@BurgielKing LOL i like these guys :P they are actually very good!

like have you heard of Dumbfoundead, Wax, Traphik, or D-Pryde?? these guys are also amazing.

I like Jay Z because in my opinion he's the best rapper alive. Im not putting any other rapper down, im just expressing my opinion that Jay Z is the best rapper alive. Please respect my opinions.

[BurgielKing]

@1THEADI I know D-Pryde, that asian rapper on YouTube. I know him for since 3 years. I wonder why'd he never made it big since he really has some potential.

Yeah, I respect your opinion but still you should say I THINK Jay-z is a best rapper. Because saying he IS the best rapper are 2 different things and people like me who dislike Jay-z kinda gets attacked easily. But I still respect your opinion and also the fact you still know your legends like bone thugs wich is good...

[1THEADI]

@BurgielKing LOL man, D-Pryde is raw!

when i said that, it was implied that it was my opinion, and dont take this the wrong way, but you just gotta be mature about it when people make statements. :P sa'll good though, we all got our favorite rappers.

[hailmary7283]

@1THEADI When did Eric Clapton and B.B. King die?

[applesauce080]

John Mayer owned that stage. Without a doubt !!!

[applesauce080]

At 0:41 even Jay-Z's thinking. HOLY SHIT this kid's raping that guitar

[Saju452]

what is the song that starts at 0:12 ?

[TheShattered]

[Aryman97g]

music now aint what it used to be, dudes making music and dont have a subject/topic to rap about so they just spite a whole bunch of punchline rapping...have y'all heard the new single " I can dig it " from LMG records Tony Merlot, the Source give him 5 mics and hes on Mtv's top 10 upcoming artist...

[717fan18]

Wicked awesome

[rytardedRYAN]

holy shit, talk about talent on guitar

[BTSamSquanch21]

Is it just me or does Jay-z look disgusted to hear john mayer start playing DOA at 0:41?

[mythicalhybrid]

@BTSamSquanch21 lol It actually sorta does. To me it's a mixture of what you're saying and a "It's about TO get DISGUSTING up in this B*tch!"

[Jhey172]

@BTSamSquanch21 It's just you..

[coleandphiltacos]

[EiLLo81]

[jothumb]

I just can't stop listening to this :O



[CrowNest]

@ 0:40 he's like "people actually play guitar like that?!"

[BLACKXV]

@CrowNest If your familiar with Jayz, he makes that face, when he is inspired.  Lets not forget where John get his style from.

[gabriell16bishop]

oh!! bad combo. jay-z feat john mayer????? haha more like john mayer with dude rapping on the side.

[BLACKXV]

@gabriell16bishop They respect each others gifted talent. Listen to Jay-z words.  They both can sell records and concerts separately. Alot of artist, need to recongize the benefits of merging every once in a while. Jayz has yet to be some dude on the side. He has been that dude for a long time all over the world.

[rhysmerri]

This is so sickkk

[AMuhl91]

If this doesn't make you wanna play guitar, I really don't know what would. swag beyond measure.

[Ladybolt11]
