Jay Z on How Anyone could have been Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey or Warren Buffett

[Soundgarden8497]

(youngsimmsmuzik and ace50105010) are fucking retarded

[DinkerTinker1]

This guy is golden. I like how he answered the question about him being ignorant or stupid etc. "I don´t feel ignorant". Perfect answer.

[musicbabylove1]

i admire this guy a lot, very well answered

[shutupborinslut]

weve all been through a bunch of life

[leklek69]

bill gates became succesful coz he's white

[1Grosvenor3]

@leklek69 Bill gates became succesful coz he worked 15 hours a day and has an iq of over 170.

[TheSchola3000]

@urAmoron44 im from a bad background and im african american but instead of focusing on bill gates background how focus on his mind on what he did to get where he is now. regardless rich or poor it depends on the person mindset. even people with bad backgrounds can be lazy and comfortable with there bad life and same with rich people. theres alot of dumbass rich people that has everything but lack knowledge. so respect the mind and will that gates done to succeed. thats a excuse

[rastafarian1112]

wtf is the presenter trying to imply ? feeling ignorant for being successful ??

[artsylovelylady]

@rastafarian1112 If being financially independent and excited to go to work in the morning makes a person ignorant, sign me up. The only ignorant thing a person can do is walk into a room of accomplished people and feel like they don't belong.

[SuperBEDROCKER]

jay will never hav money lik bill gates period...and jay is a hater im sure wen it comes to big guys lik bill gates..sayn shit lik..THAT SHOULD BE ME...well it aint nigga..suck it up..be happy u aint still in the fuckin projects u soft pussy...if they started at the same time..bill gates wouldve still did it..jay made it out wit music jus lik the next nigga in the hood is tryin to do..thats all we seem to hav anyway.sports and entertainment..the white folks go straight into where real money is .

[SuperBEDROCKER]

it doesnt matter how bill gates did it...he still wouldve had more oppurtunity than jay regardles....jay lying actin lik he aint never been uncomfortable around a room full of titans thats bigger than him...rite now jay has the oppurtunty to get into any biz ness he want but he has to hav the kno how to do it..the shit he doin now for bizness would be easy for bill gates to handle..but can jay do wat bill gates do..does he hav the brains that bill has...jay wants to be on these guys level so bad

[SuperBEDROCKER]

jay is full of bullshit man....maybe now a nigga could be a bill gates...but not back in the days...any get rich scheme back then wouldve got tooken by the white folks..and thats real..yes you probably could now since theres more oppurtunity for black folks to make millions like their doin now..jay sayn any fuckin thing..i bet if he was the age he is now back in the 40's or 50's..his ass would hav got extorted or got his shit tooken over bac then cuz we had no kind of power to defend it

[newladyofmusic]

Jayz hits some very good points! Glad I listened to this

[jigaman136]

A lot of people are taking away from this interview. Jay-Z is speaking very wise & I'm not a big Jay fan but he deff is on to something.

[LeetCanadianBoy]

bill gates didnt get handed computer time, he paid for it by working. fucking ignorance.

[mrhorn2001]

@LeetCanadianBoy

Gates didn't pay for anything his rich daddy the state judge of washington paid for it.

[007mano1]

@mrhorn2001 even if his mom and dad payed for everything he still had to know how to program, he still had to work, he still had to be dedicated, he still needed to believe, he had an SAT score of 1590 out of 1600,that shit was not bought and payed for, ignorant fool...he dropped his study in havard to start microsoft in '75, to top that off the whole world thought he was nuts for doing that, cause noone at that time believed that computers were even necessary....

[007mano1]

@mrhorn2001 everybody thought he was an idiot, he sold his first MS-DOS software 5 years later for a fee of 50.000 dollar to IBM never giving the copyright away it was only untill 1985, mind you 10 years later...that he started to gain a good income, that means that the man, took ten years to achieve what he has now...even with the support of your fam. and being called an idiot for ten years straight, I'd like to see where you would have ended up, it's so fukin easy to say daddy paid

[007mano1]

@mrhorn2001 do you even remember the time when there was no computer, and computer where only in companies and the only thing you could play was pong, if you were lucky enough to have someone living in your neighboorhood who could afford to have a computer, that still ran on tapes and 5" floppy disks with a hard drive of 125mb, do you remember that, that was the time Nasa put a man on the moon with an ATARI, think back a bit, instead of being judgemental, he lived in that time, crazy

[PARRALTX]

How Anyone could have been Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey or Warren Buffett. . . . .sell your soul.

[HybridD91]

@PARRALTX Yeah, because intelligence and hard work counts for nothing. 

[philipjterry]

interviewers voice sounds bitter and twisted about it... accessibility to opportunities is part of the game....

[Strong1up]

@philipjterry He's not bitter.He said that it pisses him off when people are not for accessible opportunities for kids that are from the ghetto and want to go to college.

[philipjterry]

@Strong1up are you talking about elitism? Not sure I understand you correctly. Also how do you differ bitter and pissed off?

[Strong1up]

@philipjterry No.No one said they were against accessability and opportunities.Howard Stern is for accessability and opportunities.Bitterness is when you do treat someone harshly based upon your own treatment.Pissed off is just being anger at a happening.

[Budaphly]

"i try to stay attached to the culture" - then buys beyonce a million dollar birthday car -_- gtfo.

[beaverpleaser420]

jayz ur a sellout BITCH u die

[MaskedTalent]

@beaverpleaser420 Why? Because He's NOT struggling like the rest of us? Shit You'd be a sellout too if you could trade spaces with Jay z. He chose to do BETTER? fuck outta here son.

[Juniversal]

@beaverpleaser420...lol how is he a sell out? I'm sure I wont get a response tho..

[11215142615]

Howard Stern is a fucking idiot and asks people too many stupid ass questionsl

[emomagica]

@11215142615 Nahhhhhhhhhhhh He's a great interviewer.

[shaynz1]

stupid he is ..... some one telll him that he has millions now and he can easily but 1000s of computers can he be bill gates now .... lol..... dumb.....

[Quntumking]

"they read a bunch of words i lived a bunch of life."

[exotikjamaica]

@youngsimmsmuzik - he is very right. Education is not about a university, education is very much about life as well. Self confidence always wins over education, Jayz is extremely secure in his abilities and therefore he can be comfortable before anyone. That's good stuff!

[TheAllSeeingMAP]

@exotikjamaica Very wise good stuff from you as well. :)

[youngsimmsmuzik]

" They read a bunch of words, i've lived a bunch of life! "... real shit!

[MrYBEtv]

@youngsimmsmuzik that quote was dope

[claypool0]

So ignorant, all those people grew up poor..

[overratedted]

jay z is too dump to be bill gates.a rapper yes,but "bill gates" never

[Broodjedoner]

@overratedted you're oversimplifying his accomplishments. Jay-Z grew up very poor in contract to Bill Gates who came from a normal family in a normal neighborhood. To be a young kid with no one really to guide you to success takes more discipline and wits than when you're from a normal home with smart parents who force you from early on to use your brains. No doubt Bill Gates is a genius and an exceptional person, but Jay-Z is more than just a rapper.

[suaveG216]

@overratedted

what do you mean? shut the fuck up and you too dumb to be jayz you fuckin debt slave

[PrinceMrKing]

tell him jay he sounds illiterate.

[skeetmoses]

they may have lived a bunch of life too. Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you ain't from the hood or didn't have hard knocks or haven't lived a lot of life. You just chose to do something different add to your life. Man its dope dealers etc. that get degrees

[209enrique]

Jay z is gay

[nuuday12]

I love it!

[ace50105010]

they read a bunch of stuff, i have lifed a bunch of life. lol. classic

[thegreeniydbandit]

~ Brilliant.

[LionArmor9]

Love his swagger and honesty. I do feel though the questions were stupid but like anyone from anywhere you know what to say and how to say it... It's just a matter of application to the situation. But it never fails that white people ask stupid questions being oblivious to the fact that not everyone in the ghetto is an idiot or lacking in many aspects.
