MY EXPERT OPINION EP# 204: JAZ-O CLEARS THE AIR ON JAY Z & NAS RUMORS AND PAST ISSUES WITH ROCAFELLA 

Jaz-O speaks like a grown man. He’s able to express/communicate himself without shittin on anyone else. I don’t speak as a “fan”. I’m speaking as a man still learning and growing.

Jaz-O is a man of the people TRULY! He was living in my hood for a while and we would always cross paths & chop it up. Down to earth, humble is an understatement. The talent, WE ALL KNOW but the true test of a man is how you treat others and for that this man is a legend to me. Salute originator...

Jaz legacy runs deep in Brooklyn Jaz produced the 1st demo for The Lox he also showed me how to work my 1st mpc I would later go on to produced multiple records for The Lox and for Jaz as well he's a dope lyricist and producer Salute to the Big Bro

Finally a gown man with some integrity, honor & knowledge of self being interviewed in our culture. 💯

Jaz O got me wanting to go buy a dictionary. 😂 This man has a vocabulary that has me wanting to step my game up and go read a book or 2. 😂 Good interview

This is byfar one of the best interviews I've seen conducted by you guys, I'm impressed. I can't believe that I watched the whole 3 hours of it without feeling like it was well worth it. I've learned a lot from Jaz O. I think that I can really vibe out with bro. I'm a knowledge seeker and an omni-artist just like him. It was dope to see a side of him that he had never expressed publicly. 🙏🏾💪🏾

Yo Math, thank you for the tuition free invitation to your establishment first and for most, but Professor Jaz’s lecture today. 🙇🏾🎓 Appreciate y’all fellas

Jaz-O has a lot of self awareness. Despite the many feelings he had about a situation, he still forged ahead. We're human and sometimes the ego starts talking but you can't listen to it. lol Great interview.

This interview made me sad. I knew what had happened already because we could all see that Jaz felt he should have been treated differently by Jay and Rocafella. I think if there was more communication things could have been better. It's all a lesson in pride, ego, and humility. I wish they had asked him how he felt about Jay Z's hall of fame speech.

Jaz-O's problem was never "entitlement", it was all just ego.... And he's dealing with it.... He even spoke on it himself.... Salute to Jaz-O and the whole crew!!!

Thank you for getting great guests that we all want to hear from

Thanks for creating the environment that allows this to happen…that’s what ppl miss wit these interviews…this the best Jaz interview in the atmosphere because it’s not vindictive or a rebuttal, it’s seems honest and retrospective…we all can respect a man’s truth when it’s based on logic and reflection and not egotism

Still wish we could’ve got a Jaz, Jay and Sauce album

LoL Sean Bigga definitely couldn't be here for this conversation, he would have burst into flames hearing such knowledgeable thoughts from a person with such impeccable discernment like Jazz O

The real DEHAVEN in the building , much respect to Jaz o , you already know !!

This interview explains that infamous Jay-Z photo in the Benz. Without even statin it lol. He was on tour in London wit Jaz. Loved the interview btw ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

I'm so enjoying the episode. They're enlightening me on so many levels guys

We need that Dehaven interview ASAP. Make it happen.

So many friendships/brotherhoods are destroyed and never recover from this type of miscommunication. I'm glad they didn't let ego get the best of their beautiful beginning!

Dope interview Math, I like the way the brother always explains himself and also allows others to interject and with no EGO all understanding " no not your bad, your good" . In a EGO conversation he showed mastery of EGO then continued... truly dope and shows wisdom and patience in my opinion. Shout to thee-o-re-gen-nat-tor

Jigga What, Jigga Who was so fire. Timbo was THE man at the time, and I think it was the first time NY cats started messing with the bounce. That video was fire too. 🔥🔥

Wen my boy start off the beatbox I kno it’s gone be a good episode 🤙🏾

Jaz O….Mic Geronimo…& Warren G shudda been just as much a franchise of the label they started & somewhat help build.

YoOo...FINALLY got rid of the holy security guard!!!...its only UP from here!!!🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾

one of the best episodes I didn't know I needed to see

We need #DEHAVEN on the show Math. Lets go!!!! Much love and respect 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

This is one of the best interviews yet respect to everyone

Blessings, great interview, great insight, Legend, Icon ✊🏿🙏🏿

Very good interview. It entertained my wife and I while we were in Jamaica on vacation. Thank you.

Amazing interview! Thanks for doing this one!

They got Jaz O , imma have to wait and see this from the beginning

Gotta respect this guy, truly kept it a buck

Great interview! Respect stands the test of time.

You guys do a really good job at picking the right legends to interview

Big Rrrespect to Jaz O salute to Math for another excellent interview/pod

I enjoyed this interview especially when y’all spoke about religion. A lot of us can learn from people who actually were looking for God. I appreciate it, knowledge is power and y’all are doing a great job spreading it.

I appreciated the questions Mecca had. It definitely sounded like Jaz-O pride was too big to look at his “little brother” as the man. For them to have had the relationship they had. A simple conversation could’ve changed all that 💯

38:02 Kitchen table, that's where I honed my skills Jaz made me believe this shit was real🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

The air left the room when he said "Dehaven".... It's like folks want him erased lol

3 Tapes I always had to have DJ DooWop , JUICE, and DJ SNS. This was an excellent interview. So much knowledge dropping. Shout out to the legend.

Jaz definitely wasn't feeling the roll reversal btw he and Jay 😂

Best Interview I've Seen on MEO Yet!This one Will be Hard to Top!

Salute this show is major and necessary for the culture Blessings to all you Kings 💯💯💯💯

I'm late to the premier but, holy moly guacamole it's Jaz-O... nuff said I'm all ears,💯💯

Jaz-O a Brooklyn legend its cool him and Jay-Z are on speaking terms. People are better banded together then divided. He definitely was dropping plenty jewels knowledge wisdom and understanding here.Jaz-O definitely shed light on the situation between him and Hov. Respect and salute to the legendary MC!

My Dudes, y'all into blew my speakers twice😂

Great interview

Great episode. This the most I heard him open up. Excellent book idea hehas look forward 2it

I love Jaz O’s style of rapping because I think it helped form Jay-Z’s style of rapping. I wish they would have had more collaborations together after the early days

This one got Deep ! Salute !!

Imagine if Jaz-O signed the contract Imagine if Big L didn't die and signed to Rocafella like how he was going to Imagine if State Property and Dipset got along Imagine if things went well between Jay and Dame, which actually would've resulted in Rihanna being on Rocafella Imagine if Rocafella was tight behind the scenes, causing J Cole to be on Rocafella rather than RocNation Just imagine. Rocafella could've been the best hip hop record company ever

Yo Math, STOP making these grown men do an echo sing along bro lol smh that shit makes me cringe every time 😭 Thanks for bringing out The Originator! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Respect To JAZ-O & JAY-Z!

Super dope interview 🔥

‘Ppreciate n Love this podcast! 💯🫡👑 from the Bay Area

Dehaven much respect! From the west coast LA

Dope educational episode!💯🔥

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!! 👑🇯🇲🔥💥🌟⭐💯💎

GOOD LOOKING OUT ..

JAZ-O 🫡💯 The Name Says It All Dropping Straight Jewels 💎The scissors that cut the fabric Pay attention 🗣️ I Really enjoyed this here My Era of BK all Day ….. Good Work no question

Amazing interview...

It’s always love no matter what! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Math finishing cars sentences is super lol

Only watched one of the teasers, had to preserve the element of surprise💪🏽🔥💯

"I know killers they ain't never kill me" damn I felt that

This was dope. Math a GOAT at this

Oooooo ok so the fila sweatsuits & polyester suits originated with the italians .. yall gonna give them credit or nah 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Loose $5 for the haters 💪🏽

Jaz O is keeping it real.

The fact that he has A Roc chain says alot.... Haven't been watching this since they charged for a Ja Rule interview.... just out the blue decided to tune up....

JAZ IS SINGING THE CHORUS IN "AINT NO NIGGA" SO WE SEE THE SINGING ABILITY HE HAD EARLY ON. ITS A SHAME HE DIDNT KEEP IT GOIN. EITHER AS A ARTIST OF A GHOST WRITER HE WOULDA BEEN LITT !!!!!!

Jaz almost look like guru for a sec...salute jaz

Queens run you ninjas ask Russel Simmons - Nas

Phenomenal episode 💎

Math you gotta wake up you sound like you falling asleep trying to be too cool then occassionaly start busting with laughter out the blue

Very dope and informal conversation Keep working MEO

Wow I didn't know Jaz O went to ODU, am only 25 minutes from there! Shout out to VA!

Yall went from "ain't no n*gga" to volume 2!!! What about "BRING IT ON"!???? Skipping over that is CRAZY! JAZ went hard on that jawn!

I think all of these intelligent brothers need to drop whatever and partner up. Jaz, Dame, Jay, and many others that had beef they've not gotten over.

1:39:14 “Naw I didn’t” 😂😂 math relax, speak for ppl a lot. Mecca stay with good questions tho🔥

Mann I learned sooo much in this joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

And I lived to catch the video on the Box all the time 🖤🖤

Salute De Haven aka Gil aka Headache💯

I know they got past it but idc what nobody say. When Jaz did Ova, that was a whoa moment 4sure. Shit was hard. Salute

39:49 that’s how age works “Math” 2 is more than 1 n will always be ahead 😂😂😂😂😂

It’s like watching excavation how y’all be collectively pulling Jewels out of the Mines/Minds of OG’s… Super Salute 🫡👑🫡💎💎

My FBC Brother. What he's being modest about is he was doing that double up style back in 1989 when was in M & A ! Much love Fam !

Great interview… I love how Jaz-O uses big words, got me using google! Now what I took from the part of the interview when he’s explaining when Jigga got “put on” and he doesn’t “walk through doors where he is not invited” JAZ… c’mon, let’s be realistic… you were very much in ya feelings (and that’s ok) … you sat back, watching him make these moves w/Dame & Biggs and you we’re waiting for him to VERBALLY say “you my man’s and I’m taking you to the top with me, and I’m going to have you play a major role in what we doing” etc… I immediately looked up your birthday after hearing this, because I am a Scorpio, and I myself have sat back waiting for someone i “looked out for” several times, to invite me or put me in position and they didn’t… and I never said anything about it, but I was for sure in my feelings… EGO & PRIDE & EXPECTATIONS get in the way.. we feel like “I shouldn’t have to say anything, they should be offering” XYZ… It took for a close friend to say to me, EVERYBODY DONT THINK LIKE YOU & EVERYBODY AINT A MIND READER… This very much gives me you low key manifested the tension, because once he was moving up, you sat back telling yourself “watch he’s gonna diss me” watch he ain’t gon remember how I took him on tour with me” yada yada yada…! MISCOMMUNICATION & EXPECTATIONS!!!! Period! And you ain’t even realize you was putting that energy out there!

Great video

I hope Jaz O book series gains Super Big Success🖤✊🏾🔥💯

Hov dissed Jaz on Luda’s Theater of the Mind record “Hip Hop”. Something like “ shout out to Grandmaster Flash, and the Caz….and even Jaz bum ass”. Great interview, this brother dropped crazy jewels

IT SEEMS LIKE JAY Z CANCELLED OUT ANY COMPETITION FROM THEN UNTIL THIS VERY DAY

Dear math. Pay people . Sincerely. Former fan

Jaz O was keeping it real.

Ice A created a dope podcast

Big up math Hoffa and Jaz o great interview.

Jay was the first rapper I seen with a bullet proof vest and he wasn't on yet Him Big and Frootloop y'all call puff in DC we walk in the party with them and they didn't front on us I guess it was a Baltimore thing. 50 cent wore the vest so everyone followed Jay definitely was setting trends early before Reasonable Doubt

'I CAME INTO DA BIDNESS WITH THIS .. DA ORIGINATOR .. NONE GREATER .. JAZ O FINISH THIS SHIIIT' ..
