Jay-Z: Fascinating in So Many Ways

12/14/06, 4:57 pm EST

Why is Jay-Z one of this year’s most fascinating people? Here are five reasons one can deduce from this snippet of Barbara Walters’ interview with Jay-Z for her 10 Most Fascinating People segment.

  • He believes hop-hop guys can and should act like adults.
  • He understands the code of the street.
  • He used to write beats by banging on the kitchen table as a kid.
  • When Barbara Walters asks him if Beyonce is “bootylicious” he neither mocks nor smacks her.

Maybe because he got rich off the rap game but, somehow, can’t manage to rub two rhymes together anymore?

Maybe because he’s the first self-proclaimed former coke dealer to sling printers to old white men?

Or, maybe, because of all of the above, its finally alright for caucasians to pay attention to him and pretend to like him?

UMM Or mabey because he is the best rapper to ever live and if you dont agree with that then you will have to say he is top 10 and that a fact. He is not a business man he is a business-MAN. just sick lines but this man turned nothing into something and is not the richest rapper to ever live (he tops p diddy yes but diddy aint rap anyhow he is pop)

From $0 to $300K networth by rapping, very “Most Fascinating” I’d say.

I love Jay-Z. He is extremely fascinating. He has evolved into a respectable man whom I admire.

Jay-Z is amazing b/c he know he is great…but does not need to act a fool like Kanye West and act all ghetto! Jay-Z’s flow is so smooth and the fact that he is with Beyonce makes him even more interesting!

Youre right about him being great but Kanye west is not a good example, in fact I think he is one of the few adult minded rappers, like Jay-Z
