Tha Show:Just in case you become the world's richest person, what other philanthropic things would you do with your wealth?

benhillshawty: How do I get my music to you?

steeldiplomat86: Hey Jay, how as the experience of having your mother on your last album?

Jay-Z:It was a beautiful thing. It was actually her birthday. I just told her to meet me at the studio. I didn't tell her why. Then afterwards we went out and had a wonderful time.

OmarDaOne:Jay, do you think you'd ever do a song with Lauryn Hill?

Jay-Z:I respect her as an artist. I love her. If the opportunity ever presented itself, yes!

Jay-Z:I think he's one of the most creative new guys in the game right now.

Jay-Z:That wouldn't be fair! But I guess Rick Ross because of his major buzz on the streets. But there's too many to really name.

Suha:What's up, "Sir Hova of Brooklyn!" How did it feel to perform with Paul McCartney?
