The movie was great and so was the soundtrack!! Round of applause for Leo and Jay!! Thanks

Very well said. The fact that people find a video they don't like, watch it, and then write hateful comments shows jealousy. Someone makes billions off rap and the haters get mad cause they have to punch a clock. They fail to realize when they write these comments they show how pathetic their lives are. Keep doin you Jay-Z!

The soundtrack of this film moved it. It was dope

[trancendedmindpalace]

Why are people commenting on the way he speaks? He has spoken this way since day one, its nothing new. You really that bord to watch a video and hate on him for something that is irrelevant. He is sucessful, and in this case thats really all that matters. If you feel he says "um too much, " then thats what you have the option to not watch the video. Cant stand haters, get a hobby.

Nice job on this being on Front page of YouTube.

Listen, Jay is an incredible talent. Three of my favorite songs by Jay Z are "Never Change, " "Momma Loves Me, " and "December 4th." Now, if the film's producers wanted to update and reinterpret Fitzgerald's novel, I think they should've set the film in modern day, New York. If you want a rap film, make one but please don't use the 20s as your backdrop. I've read the book twice and never in my wildest dreams did I envision Jay Z's music as a soundtrack to the story. It doesn't work.

"music is music no matter what." how profound

[MrJavierEQ]

He is a genius. His newly produced soundtrack fits perfectly with F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel. I can't wait to watch "The Great Gatsby"!

[dejaentendu]

If I took a shot for every um in this 2 minute interview I'd be hammered. :-!

[OneWhoHoldFastoJesus]

You guys should read the book, Great Gatsby

[Topsider]

This should have been called "Random Rambles with JayZ"

[candydeca]

He may not be book-smart like you said he was, but he is street smart for knowing how to earn the big dough.

Kanye did say that people who always wear suits and ties wear because they've forgotten how to dress. Ryan Gosling only wears suits and ties to special events and outside special events he's always dressed to kill, which is why I think he is one of the most stylish people in Hollywood

[RayRomanMedia]

Audio problem at the end? Couldn't you guys add the subtitles at the end?

[nextup]

Jayz isnt a businessman hes a business man

[itzBRADSTER]

Jay Z is one of the best rappers alive, if anyone here tried rapping like he does, they say "Uh, um" just as much. Show some respect for the guy, he is just talking about a song he made that was featured in a movie.

[juliankenzo]

the last 10 seconds of audio are cut off lol.

[sirdano]

LOOOL you're right he does always sound like he's about to cry.

[ElohimPenemue]

You have to make them see your magic in order for them to believe in you..
There will come a day when thousands and thousands of black people will bow before him and proclaim him as God..
He has their hearts..
He has their minds..
Soon he will have their souls..

[SuperJaleyTV]

"Now these niggas is mad
Oh they call me a Camel
But I mastered the drought, what the fuck I'm an animal"- Jay Z

Stop hatin.
