Jay-Z: He Came, He Saw, He Conquered (BBC Documentary)

October 29th, 2008 · 12 Comments

BBC Television executive Alan Yentob spent 6 months exploring the life and work of Jay-Z leading up to his infamous Glastonbury show including unseen footage and backstage access to concerts in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York. Once you’ve checked parts 1-6 read Fat Lace famalam Pete Cashmore’s appraisal HERE where he quite rightly points out that no man should ever admit to “picking up the baton from Afrika Bambaataa”.

Part 1 here, the rest after the jump:

    Two wrongs not making a right here. Terrible documentary – they could have got someone who knew what they were doing to follow Jay-Z, not culture leech Yentob. And the Guide should have got someone who knows about Jay-Z to write the feature.

    someone like Hattie Collins?

    Black people are obviously still a novelty to some supposedly cultured crackers, pathetic and patronising

    Yeah, it was wack for sure – however, forget Jigga, cultured crackers everywhere should be spending the weekend listening to ‘Thr33 Rings’ on a continuous loop if they have any self respect.

    Translation: “I WANTED THAT MONEY! ME ME ME! ANDREW EMERY! TRUNKY WANTS A BUN!”

    Nah, i didn’t want to write it – my Jay-Z ignorance is only exceeded by yours. One for Hattie, perhaps? Or my man Darlo. At least someone who wouldn’t make the ridiculous assertion that “the assertion that Reasonable Doubt is “recognised as one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever” is straight-up bull fritters”. It might not be by you or I, but it is by very many people. However, when the guide get round to covering Kukoo Da Baga Bonez – you the man. Or Hattie. Either’s good.

    Fuck very many people from the giddy up.
