Emory Jones Talks Jay-Z, Roc Nation Apparel & Staying Connected With His Crew While Being Locked Up 

i think everyone missed every thing this brother said...rich or poor ...having a true friend ....Priceless

"Snatched my nigga Emory, tried to get him to talk about me. He told 12 gimme 12, told em go to hell about me." - Jay Z (Drug Dealers Anonymous)

every time he press 5 , all he wanna do is hear his boy talk fly....

Brother gave me & my former rap partner an opportunity to do a song for a Roc Nation promo campaign. The song wasn't chosen, but he gave us an opportunity, which was sincerely appreciated! And he gave us hella Roc Nation gear in the proces. Real good dude!

Our Black Men are beautiful when they KNOW who they truly are..

Kids dont understand how legendary this interview is

I remember first time hearing Do U Wanna Ride on Kingdom Come by Jay and learning about Jay's loyalty to Emory.. Glad to see him up and doing well!!

Peep how Charlamagne is looking at him the entire interview. That boy is soaking up every word lol

it's funny, it's like this dude was a legend before I've ever seen him. HOV repped him well over the years..

During Super Bowl 48 I had the opportunity of a lifetime to be in close quarters with Jay Z, J. Brown, O.G. Juan, and Desiree... As a super ROC fan my goal was to be cool and be humble and simply not to come across as a fan. The entire night (5+ hours) this quiet guy was there usually in the corner and sometimes in the middle of the room. I don't recall him ever actually speaking. One thing he was doing was watching. You could tell he saw everything. It was Emory Jones. I had no idea who he was but I knew all about him from the songs. One of my regrets is that I didn't speak. Wise dude.

It dont get no realer than this brother...what an inspiration this morning. Keep up the good work man

Listens to Jay-Z, John Legend - Do U Wanna Ride before watching the interview

Me and emery jones in the caravan!!!! Emery jones- Word Up

Jay-Z has practically been in the public eye in the music business for at least 24 years and now everything has truly come full circle for him. Money cannot buy the type of loyalty and respect that Emory and Jay-Z have for one another and big ups to the OG for finding peace and becoming a better man while behind the wall! It's so refreshing to hear inspiring words from a Black man that's so positive, progressive and forward thinking. Thank God & shout out to the breakfast club for this interview!!!

Good interview great to See Emory Jayz painted such a great picture of his Loyal Friend💯appreciate life n respect live abundantly😎

I've been hearing this dudes name since Reasonable Doubt and finally got to see dude lol. Jay-Z shouted out Emory more than his entire Rocafella crew.

Damn Emory was talking so much real shit, I didn't want the interview to end!

"Collect call from, Emory Jones,"😜

Jay z the only nigga that did everything right as far as making moves in the game he is literally the blueprint

This is a testament of true growth. He is a triple OG who has the keys

I listen to J so much I'm happy for Emory like I know him personally...I'm callin ppl like hey you know Emory out?! lol..Good interview.

I LOVE THE WAY HE DESCRIBED "BET ON YOURSELF"

humble brother, i like his energy

Roc Nation move like the wind you never see them but you feel them & the effect they have on others

Always felt bad for Emory, got unlucky and locked up right before his man became the best rapper alive. Good to see the brother living well.

"EMORY, YOU KNOW YOUR SPOT IS RESERVED FAMILY!!!!!'"

I got locked up when I was kid and shared a cell with him. He been a solid dude from the start. I didn't even know who he was but always been positive and good. Em you deserve every blessing!

Finally after hearing about this dude for 20+ years. Its great to finally put a face to a name. #EmoryISeeYou

Real solid dude.... it's krazy that if you stand close to jay you can make millions....

Took the show on the road, out to Maryland, me and Emory Jones in the Caravan

"Welcome home to Emory, Let's get back to this Deniro"

In the beginning he was talking about Dehaven.

He's so real and down to earth. Great interview.

dope interview. been hearing this man's name for years, nice to finally hear from him.

Emory is who brought Biggs back with the team. that's love right there

Emory got 10, Ta got 15 nigga Even my kin Got 5 years bringing 19 in. Just think I use to think like them. Jayz the greatest overall rap artist of all time

Grown man shit right here #salute 💯💯💯

"people are just catching up to things he said years ago.". So true! People are just now comprehending Jay's lyrics.

he resembles beanie sigel a lil bit. sounds like a real honorable guy. much success and prosperity to him. word up!

HE NEVER TOLD!!!!

Jay Z most definitely backed a good dude ... definitely official bro.

he has know idea how popular he really is in hiphop....just from jay shouting him out....."when I press 5 all I wanna do is hear my boy talk fly"

"Oh!! can't forget my man down in Maryland/He's gone til November, how can I not remember?"

Shout out to Big TY who was Emory Jones co defendant we was in Lewisburg together those brothers kept Jay Z out of prison for real those are some stand up brothers they don't make them like that anymore!

This man really is an inspiration. After being locked up for 12yrs he still became everything he strived to be and still moving. He did have Jay Z in his corner but he had to put in his own hard work to get in tht position. Much Respect!

I swear I started watching the Breakfast club in the summer of 2015 and I have learned SO MUCH! CHARLAMAGNE, ANGELA, ENVY, I thank y'all so much for embracing the opportunities to let a person's story to be heard and for maintaining the power that you all have that constantly empowers to black community.

If you don't know who he is....u ain't a Hov fan

that's why Jayz my favorite and the best of all time all his stories check out they ain't just raps

A wise owl in the game. Always dropping knowledge and positive vibes

Here after hearing that " E was down ten for this "

That's seminar I attended...amazing Stokey, Emory, Mark really are humble and Bridge the Wealth Gap by educating our community.

-Emory got knocked we was down 10

Real humble dude! Glad jay puts his people in positions of power.

Y'all will be surprised how many people Jay has taken care off. Jay is loyal to those who are loyal to him. I know this for a fact!

what j say? feds tried to give him 12, he told 12 give me 12, he told em go to hell about me.

Thank You Breakfast club I enjoy this show with Emory Jones. I have to see this at least 3 times & share this video to others. Much love from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴

It feels good when a real nigga from the dirt win 100 bring tears of joy to me #RNS

SALUTE this Guy. Emory and Jay Z is the Truth.

REAL OG & SOLID HANDS DOWN! MOGUL MINDED! #Maryland #GrooveCity

The man is so real. I shed tears watching the interview. That is inspiration right there.

Great interview

Grew up with this guy. One of my best friends from childhood since the 5th grade. At 16 yrs old if you saw Twain, you saw Emory, you saw US cruising thru the streets in a Dodge Shadow back in 1989. Knew Jay, Headache, Half Pint, Panama all them NY dudes was like locals as much as they were around. His talk is real. Nothing like living and experiencing what he's speaking of first hand. Love and respect always bro. #GrooveCityMaryland

Dope interview!!!

This is a great interview!!!

My dude right here. Good peoples.

If your'e in Brooklyn. You can always find Em in Milk River... He's such a real one and don't mind bussing it up with the people!!!

I see why after all of these years jay still keeps Emory close. Emory is a really good humble soul and the man has a very honorable trustworthy character about him. Very rare to come by these days. Too many snake ass niggas switch up on you once money gets involved, emory stayed solid tho.

Dude is inspirational. Dont even know em, but i look up to em. Definition of a boss. Glad i came across this interview, was in basic training when it dropped. S/O to the breakfast club for always having dope guest on...

Emory Jones solid af

I liked this without even hearing the interview.... been repeating this name since I was a youth..

"I've done made more millionaires than the lotto did"

This was a great interview, we need more people like this on the club for interviews

When I was growing up Emory was my pen pal. Always gave me good advice.

Jewels!!!! Thank you Emory! Aka vegas jones

Great interview,. Short but the way you described your intuition was perfect

this is the best interview I've seen in yearsssss

he from eastern shore cambridge maryland aka Groove City

Good morning my black brothers and sisters, be not ashamed of you beautiful features, we are the original Homo sapiens, all life came out of the motherland ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 #bewisethou.

They caught your body they can't trap your mind Keep your spirit alive read your books

Real down to earth dude. Great interview and actually made me look at jayz a little differently then I did! #Respect

It's funny to hear all of these former Roc artists that Jay helped make millions come back later and be salty. Then u get somebody like Emory who did real time over him, and he sounds just as humble as can be. Much respect to this dude. Played his position to perfection.

Dope interview!

Great interview!

Jay z a Legend

Very inspirational

Haven't hug his son in 12yrs.. Much respect Emory.. You are inspirational. I was wondered how he received "Do You Wanna Ride" I don't know him but when we listened i remember thinking dude gotta at least get 1 tear.. Great Interview!

Hands down best breakfast club interview. Much respect emory

I remember running the track in USP Pollock in that hot ass Louisiana sun..Listening to “Do you wanna Ride” that one song really used to give me goosebumps day dreaming about my release date

You can tell Vegas a OG.
