Jamie Foxx On Meeting Kanye For The First Time 

Looks like we can add storytelling to Jamie Fox's list of skills

I've heard this story like a million times, and every time i feel like I'm listening to it for the first time

They all thought he was going to say "Oh a different Kanye, before the fame, he was humble and quiet"..lol..Kanye has always had this strong self-confidence and Huge Ego, since day 1, that's who he is, he keeps it 100.

That story was good as hell and the storytelling was on point. I swear comedians are the best storytellers

Yo Jamie needs a talk show. This interview was hella entertaining

Foxx paints a picture with his story telling felt as if i were there

the power of kanye

kanye is legendary

After watching Kanye's documentary everything makes sense. Wow what a work of art, Kanye is the best ever!!! Slow Jamz in the making, this is amazing!!!

I can't believe he is 47 years old. He looks so much younger

For those wondering the story starts at 3:30

"uh uhahhh, dont do dat..." HAHAHA

He tells the story so joyously. Joyfully. Full of joy.

Comedian, actor, singer, AND storyteller. This man can do ANYTHING

whos back here again after watching jeen-yuhs

Dope. Jamie Foxx is a great storyteller.

Who else is here because they saw other videos of Jamie Foxx telling the same story lol

I love the way Cruz lets the conversation flow. Most interviewers interrupt and talk over their guests.

Kanye West is a legend.

. Jamie Foxx tells the story of how he met a young Kanye

This hits diff after the doc

3:33 for when he starts talking about young kanye

3:35 start of about kanye

In pretty much in ALL his interviews he tells these stories and I NEVER get tired of hearing them. How can someone tell the same story and STILL keep me mesmerized.

That 's crazy he said no one knew him. Then Kanye blew up with that song

We need to appreciate this man while he's amongst us. He's a living legend for sure

Ed slept on jamies couch for 6 weeks omg this man is a blessing to the entertainment industry, really and truly a jamie is something special

The 90s parties are undefeated

Did you know Jamie Foxx actually saved a mans life once? A car crahsed right in front of his mansion and started burning. He was the first person to be there and pulled the unconscious body out of the car before the medics arrived👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This nigga need to write a book...best seller

Back to hear this story after the Jeen Yuhs documentary. Amazing!

Going back and listening to the songs after the story’s he told gives them a whole new perspective it’s crazy

Why did I listen to this like I was there. Who would have knew Kanye helped launched Jamie Foxx 🧐🤔

Jamie doing that part from gold digger live was fucking dope

what jamie foxx hiding under that hat???? hes holding onto those headphones for dear life!!! lol

Came here after the documentary and it really makes you think how genius Kanye is

I have heard him tell this story a hundred times and it's still as entertaining as the 1st time.

Ive heard him talk about this many times on interviews but i still watch every one like 20 times.. this guy is talented.

NOW we have proof of his story... We seen the clip on jeen yuz Kanye documentary

Thank u coody for having the footage of this story 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Its amazing

GREAT interview... this was a dope story to listen to. There's a lesson to be learned in stories like these... I meet so many hungry artists who are so desperate to meet "important" people... they wanna meet the famous rapper... the big time executive... that's the WRONG way to be thinking. Its always those UNKNOWN people who will Change your Life. They're the ones hungry for opportunities... ready to give... ready to work. You have to value every relationship you build... don't judge a person off their status... learn about who they are and what they do. Kanye gave Jamie Foxx his start in music... and at that time, Jamie was more well-known than Kanye. That's the lesson. Its not about status... its about the value of whatever it is you do, and how you use it to help the people around you.

The 90s and 00s was a crazy time for Hip Hop and R&B

How could anyone not like Jamie Fox.That guys got charisma

Gives me chills every time I hear this story, 2 of my favorite songs

I have always admired Jamie Foxx. He is so multi-talented it's CRAZY! He just makes it look easy.

A beautiful moment of God showing up in someone's life and changing their life forever.

"I left to do a bad movie for 6 months." Haha

Jamie Fox needs a podcast or something! He’s a wonderful story teller, and I bet he had hundreds of story’s he could tell!

Jamie foxx pharrell interpretation is hilarious!!

This is easily one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time ... and I clicked on it accidentally...

I used to think the Kanye story was a little farfetched until I saw it in Kanye's new documentary on Netflix caller Jeen-yuhs

Kanye West is a legend!

I can never get tired of hearing this story. Watching the documentary just makes it so much more surreal.

“This song is wack, he’s never gonna make it” 😩😂🤣💀⚰️

Jamie is one hell of a story teller man!

It’s so cool to finally see how this story went down on the Kanye doc! Awe 🥰

Blame it is one of my ALL TIME FAVES

man listening this story since 2015 and now 2022 seeing it was all recorded by Kanye's friend just overwhelms me man... Kanye's doc in Netflix, 2nd episode they show that exact moment when they made that Marvin gaye song in Jamie's studio

Jamie and Kanye are 2 of my favorite artist .. chills

New music from Jamie Foxx is always real and marvelous.

He violated with that “nobody watching”

Yo this was such a good interview. Jamie is so dope

Yall ever check out Dave Chappelles first time meeting Kanye? lol.. that shits pretty funny too.

ive hurd this story so many times but i never get tired of it

How can one man have soo much charisma?? (Wish the radio jocks would have shut the f**k up and let him tell it)

I love to hear story's, if you listen to Jamie foxx's story's they are second to none. One of the best story tellers or our generation.

Hands down easily the most talented human beings ever!

Just seeing how Jamie Foxx started making music is so amazing.

Here after watching the ye documentary and it just shows that Janie foxx was telling the absolute truth! Try playing this story while watching the scene in the background lol

this is even crazier to hear after watching Jeen-Yuhs

Oh my goodness this was an amazing story… love the way he told it

Damn I thought I know some hip hop but iam hearing this for the first the in 2022 and it's always fascinating how passionate these people are. Truly inspiring

First of all-grew up in LA and LOVED this channel! Jamie is fucking amazing in everything he does! While in my current area filming Jarhead-I almost got on the bus. I didn’t get to meet him but the bus got stuck and my husband helped them get thru. I was so close. I adore him -have since ILC

This whole part was on jeenyuhs😭

Jamie Foxx is like that one uncle who tells the same damn story every damn time. LMFAO

My God jamie knows how to tell a story. I cant find one interview that he sounds boring. He litteraly takes over the interview

Love interviews like this. Jamie foxx is an entertainer thats why

man that was a great interview. jamie seems like a great guy

Jamie Foxx needs to be a director. He tells stories like a boss.

bruh he gave this story on like 6 shows..

Who else remembered this after seeing the Jeen-Yuhs documentary??

Always loved this dude. Such a talented dude

He created his own bridge between professions, genius

Big Up for Jamie Foxx. This man's way to tell a story, dog :D Makes it so much interesting when you're confident and charismatic when speaking about a time from the past.

Legendary story. That Netflix documentary

Wowwwwww I loved this interview!!!!

Foxx has great stories and tells them in a fantastic way.

Probably one of the best stories I've ever heard.

I’m so glad i watched this!🔥

I love that this part is shortly in the second act of the Jeen yuhs documentary!

Damn, how am I just seeing this now?! What a f’n great story and insight of everyone back in the beginning. ❤️

It’s Nov.2022 and I’m still like “wow” on how those classic songs were created

that was the dopest story i need to watch again

I'm thrilled 🤗 to hear Jamie giving Kanye is 💐 for Gold Digger 😅😅😅❤👏💤🕊. Kanye believes in Ye. I have respect for Jamie Fox because he appreciate the people who open the way for him with his music dreams. He didn't talk bad about Kanye like that Chaka Chan. Love Jamie Fox🥰🕊

Everyone has that friend who somehow is just a brilliant storyteller

Everyone talking about Kanye and Jamie, But the his homie Breyon the type of homie you need. He chilling at 3am and calls your ass up about an opportunity. It happens again and he like yo follow my lead and kicks in the door for you again.

After 18 years I'm listening to this song again... I'll simply say a masterpiece, great work Kanye and a brilliant performance by Jamie Foxx, my respects. Greetings from Chile!

Story so good I watched it back to back

Kanye was the same since day one

Some of the best Songs are made like that just straight organic 🔥
