This interviewer is really good. He made it feel like a therapy session instead of an interview.

"The Hardest Thing Is Seeing Pain On Someone Face That You Caused And Then Having To Deal With Yourself, Most People Don't Want To Do That, You Don't Want To Look Inside Yourself And So You Walk Away" My Favorite Quote So Much Truth

“Until everyone’s free, no one’s free” 👏👏👏 quote for life...

"the hardest thing is seeing pain on someone's face that you have caused and have to deal with yourself " HOV

[KempireRadio]

I am loving Dean's questions! Real journalism!

[mrsirman]

Hurt people don't want people to see them being hurt, that's the story of "what you looking at"? Such an amazing revelation, makes sense

[frankiediaz]

This is probably the best Jay Z interview I ever watched

[strswish]

He hit the nail on the head. Compassion. If people don’t waste time trying to show toughness but turn that energy into understanding just imagine what this world would be.

[WVRLORD]

This conversation is so rich with emotion, seeing the conflict in jays eyes when he analyzes the questions and how he answers them you can just tell how differently he thinks and makes each answer and question very genuine great interview

[dondiddy]

A healthy relationship with anyone starts with conversation.

[Audioanalisys]

"The hardest thing is seeing pain on other people, that you've caused and having to deal with yourself" This is really good !! Keep it up Jay

[Under_Construction]

"The strongest thing a man can do is cry". That's so powerful.

[tristanthompson]

Am I the only one thinking Jay-Z's voice is SUUUPER soothing?

[EBad-kozy]

“What you looking at…” was so profoundly said and revealed a deep insight.🖤

[shanterabrown]

"Intelligence is not attributed to color." Say it louder for em at the back!

[nikantropov]

Easily one of the most well spoken artist/celebrity. He should do tedtalks or something like that

[veliciahiley]

This is how real change happens. Having understanding, agreement & unity.
This is a message, hear it, understand it, move on it.
Great interview Dean & Jay.

[BluePotatoHead]

He is even so self aware about his usage of hurricane as a metaphor and corrected it with humility. What a class act.. 👏🏼

[clippacaddy]

Jay-Z is an intelligent guy. Say what you will about him, but only ignorence can deny that! Nice interview.

[Linda-mfvm]

Jay-Z always amazes me. He has such profound wisdom. They say "wisdom is born of pain" and I think that it true. However, J's wisdom not only came from pain, but from his ability to follow his instincts no matter what the price. I love the way he speaks of his marital issues and his obviously strong love for Beyonce. They are in it for the long haul, and that is so refreshing.
