Rob, could you see 186cm peak 6’1.25 and a weak to decent 185cm nowadays 6’0.75-6’1. I think that would be the most accurate listing for Jay Z as his height fluctuates from looking almost 6’2 to looking barley 6’0.5 in some cases.

6-1.25 is the absolute most he could be

Rob, have you considered updating his current height, I agree this was his peak height but in recent photos he's shorter than 185cm Marcus Rashford and is barely taller than 181.5 cm Frank ocean. I believe his current height is 183.4 at best( 6'0.5).

At 50 would Jay Z lose some height, or could it be a more relaxed posture...I can see how Jay Z in last few years does seem just 6ft 1

Rob, one person I'm missing in the "American Rappers" category is KRS One. Big guy with a bigger personality. Google has him listed at 6'4.

Jay Z is an exception. His 6'2" claim is not all silly as he's only rounding up by half an inch.
Sam said on 20/May/17
How anyone says Jay Z is 6ft flat is beyond me. He edges Obama out in every photo who is a legit 6'1. 187 is right for him. Not quite the full 6'2 but he has near an inch on Obama. I think he looks small in other photos because he has bad posture.

Those pictures with Obama are across the room from each other. You can't tell from that angle. Plus Jay Z was wearing Timbs while Obama is in dress shoes with a suit. It's okay. I'll take NFL combine measurements over estimates from pictures from Obama who we don't have an official measurement taken from other than what the white house says. All I know is when it comes to someone barely over 6'2 they always tower him. Geno Smith did the same and he is 6'2 3/8. Doesn't really bother me tho lol.

yes he can look around his 6'2 claim most of the time because he has good posture which may be giving him a height advantage over other celebrities in pictures who arn't standing as well (ie will smith) who i deffo believe would of been at least 4cm taller with better posture even though jay z was looking taller
Brandon Love and Lauren Mayberry forever said on 6/Dec/15
@5ft10 That's CJ Watson, who used to play for the Nets. He's 6'2" listed, measured 6'0.5" at the pre draft. Jay-Z may have a slight edge on him on that picture, hard to tell from the angle, but he's probably a solid 6'1" barefoot at worst.

Why would a supposedly 6'2" man be listed at 6'1" in his mugshot profile?? They usually add up 1 inch. No chance this guy is over 6'1", he wears lifts, simple as that.There can two reasons for his 6'1" listing in mugshot profile- either he has a horrible posture which comes from his skinny fat physique or he wears lift which didn't wear in those days.
Stewart said on 13/Apr/15
Its always been obvious that A-rod is 6'1". I think Jeter is a bit taller.

Deron Williams is 6'3. My best friend is 6'2 I am 6'0 since he's normally the tallest person around he slouches a lot! In every picture we take we look the same height. and people tell him all the time he dosn't look 6'2 because if his posture then he fixes it stands straight and then immediately you can tell oh ok this guy is 6'2 . Same for me around shorter people i bend a certain way because it's awkward being tall normally you just want to blend in with the seen. Will smith never wore lifts in the fresh prince of bel air. Beyonce is 5'7 she wears high heels a lot! Jay z stills looks way taller then her....

MLB listing are always correct.

No, they actually extremely inaccurate sometimes. They're not as consistently too high like NBA listings but they can be as bad or worse at times. A-Rod is shorter than Jeter who might not even be 6'3" himself.
And he looks 6'0" tops in the Jordan pick.
unknown said on 18/Jun/14
i agree with this listing! 6'1.5 (1,87 m) on the nose for him is a good estimate for Jay-Z. He always looked taller than Obama, who's a legit 6'1.

Seahawksfan 187- 188: Dude, you're a complete idiot, if Jay z is coming up to

Must be without his Timbs with #23....I got Jordan by an inch and Jay Z by me didn't look that much shorter than a couple in Timbs. He been caught height sleepin' and #23 is leaning in.

@Seahawksfan: Jay z is looking 4-5 inches shorter than
Michael Jordan in that pic.

Jay Z is about 5'11" or less we are about the same height. Saw him backstage awhile back.

@Seahaeksfan: Jay z is a lift wearer simple as that, harry's pic below is more informative as you can see their shoes there, plus that guy in the pic is not larry johnson, larry johnson never had that tanned skin
Harry said on 20/May/14
Here is the pic of jay z with Larry Johnson,you can even see their shoes, jay z isn't more than 6 feet.

Harry said on 16/May/14
Jay is 5'11-6' flat, he's a lift wearer, Geno brutally destroys and even if jay z would be in a god posture, he could not have pulled anything over 5'11.5, plus he's also shorter than Larry Johnson, he doesn't tower Bill gates, who's a very weak 5'9 now.
Rankin boy said on 15/May/14
He probably over 6'2 with his thick super heels on, without them he's only 6 feet or even 5'11, he's a lift wearer just like Puff daddy.

Jay is 6' flat, all those pics are with lifts.
twade25 said on 14/Apr/14
I saw Jay Z at the 40/40 last summer. Im Barefoot 6'3/4 and a little over 6'1 with shoes on and I had on loafers and me and Jay were standing right next to eachother. He had an advantage with shell toe Adidas on and he still was a little shorter than me. so I would give him about 5'11.5 to 6'1 depending on footwear and posture. I dont think he is barefoot 6'1
strong said on 10/Apr/14
Let me know y'all one thing, Kobe Bryant is surprisingly equal to 6'3.5 Game, jay z is 184 max.

Height can be deceiving
Cuz I matched with a guy who said he was 6'2 but I didn't believe him my height is somewhere between 5'9-5'10 he looked like a 6'0 or 6'1

@Seahawksfan identical? He clearly looks an inch taller if not more than him in that pic.
Bosnia said on 14/Nov/13
@Mr. Sheridan are you kidding me??? You said that playing actually makes you taller? You are bit confused...
Star said on 12/Nov/13
I saw him in person. he is not taller than 5'11". Really unless you saw him in person you can't be arguing so passionately that he's taller against those of us who have seen him.
Mr. Sheridan said on 17/Oct/13
Actually, sportsmen appear to or three inches taller than they are cuz while playing their spine decompresses, and at times they appear taller, that is why you see Geno Smith far taller than Jay Z.It happened with me in summer vacations, I was 5'8 and my bully brother said you look 6', seriously.
5ft10 guy said on 15/Oct/13
yeah I heard that song but sometimes people can think your shorter then what you are by your body type or posture.You dont know how the 5ft7 claim came to be.You dont know if he was asked and he said "ehh 5ft7" or if it was assumed.People who are husky with a build like kanye look shorter but look at pharrell with Jayz look at the big difference in height does he really look only two inches taller then a 5ft9 man in dress shoes?

Viper said on 15/Oct/13
Matt, how can he be 6'0-'6'1 when 6'0.4 measured Larry Johnson clearly as 1-2 inches on him.
Mathew said on 11/Oct/13
@5ft10 guy - I can agree with Nas somewhere around 5'8" but Kanye is 5'7". I'm not positive on Leo's height myself, I think 5'11.5" is pretty generous but it could be right. I just think that he's not over 5'11". I don't claim to know any of these heights for a fact, but I definitely do not believe Kanye is 5'8" if he's got 5'7" mentioned in his music.
5ft10 guy said on 10/Oct/13
@matthew if Leo is 5ft10.5 why does Rob have him at 5ft11.5 and kanye at 5ft8 along with Nas.So either you're wrong or Rob has been been messing up alot.Jayz cant be 6ft-5ft11 as that isnt a tall height.I think you should make a choice 4) which is jay is a 6ft2-6ft1.75 guy who slouches and doesnt stand as tall as he can.
Mathew said on 3/Oct/13
@5ft10 guy -- I've always thought Leo Dicaprio is more 5'10.5" - 5'11" anyways. Jay Z could be between 6'0" and 6'1". But Geno Smith towered him. Oh and Kanye is 5'7" btw, just as stated in that song "American Boy". You really think a guy with Kanye's ego would downgrade himself an inch? He's 5'7" tops.
Jay Z usually looks anywhere from 5'11" to 6'2" in photos, which either means 1) he's a 5'11" range guy who wears lifts and tries to look extra tall 2) he's around 6'0" - 6'1" tops or 3) he's a 6'1" - 6'2" guy who has a huge slouch. To me I think #2 is most likely.
5ft10 guy said on 27/Sep/13
Why are you getting upset so much?Seems like you have something against the man.The geno smith picture isnt very good.So what Robinson Cano is 5ft9 hmph Ive been to yankee stadium and have seen Cano upclose and hes tallish.Jayz is also farther away from the camera.I really do think hes about 6ft2-6ft1.75.Alot of guys Rob puts at 6ft2 Jay looks taller then them.For example Graham McTavish doesnt look as tall as Jayz did next to Kanye West or say Nas both 5ft8 guys like Rob .When you say Jayz is 5ft10 thats just stupid.Jayz has been next to diddy (5ft10) females 5ft9(Skylar Diggins) and is still taller then him and her in monster heels!Here is Jayz with Leonardo Dicaprio Who's close to 6ft.Ofcourse Jayz is taller by how much I'll let you decide. Looks 6ft2 he just is.

I'm 6'4.5, I've met Jay Z, he does'nt even look 6'1, top of his head was levelling my eyes, he would be 6' max. and 5'10 min. He's a ****ing liar, he was looking ****ed when he stood with Geno Smith.
Sawyer03 said on 24/Sep/13
Always found interesting reading people say that 1.87 isnt tall, especially when you take into account that the average male is 1.75
KROC said on 19/Sep/13
Jay is nowhere near 6'2. I use to see him at Rucker Park in 2003 around the time of the NYC blackout. He looked closer to 6'1.
DP said on 13/Sep/13
I expected Will Smith to be much taller than me also.
DP said on 13/Sep/13
i expected him to be taller. Jay said on his new album he's 6'2. He's at least 6 foot easily. He Always looked tall to me but not too tall.
I'm usually around 186 cm but i think Jay looks much taller than me on pictures. But i was also totally suprised when i heard a classmate say hes 185 cm cause to me he looked very tall. i thought i was much shorter.
can it be true that somebody of your own height looks taller to you in your own eyes when you look at them from a distance somehow?
Viper said on 7/Sep/13
His height goes up and down like crazy. Just like LL Cool J.
Hes at MOST 5'11, imo. The pic with Larry Johnson is very good because hes wearing what looks to be pretty flat shoes.
Mathew said on 28/Aug/13
vtec says on 27/Aug/13
jayz needs a serious downgrade

Maybe an inch? I wouldn't downgrade him by 3" based on that one pic, as he's looked much taller often enough. But 184 cm might be more plausible for Jay Z.
Viper said on 28/Aug/13
Sly stallone would be envious of his lifts.
Viper said on 28/Aug/13
Johnson is in another pic where he looks about 2 inches taller. How can a supposed 6'1.5 guy look 5'10. The answer is he wears lifts.
Viper said on 27/Aug/13
He cant be taller than 5'10.5 thats for sure. 6'2 Geno destroys him. He must be a lift wearer.

Joe joe said on 26/Aug/13
im going to be honest I don't think Jayz is 6'2 either but in the pic with Larry Johnson, Johnson I think is wearing lifted boots. I've seen other pics with him and Jayz where he comes up shorter than jay. I will post them if you ask nicley
Mathew said on 25/Aug/13
Viper says on 24/Aug/13
He looks 5'10 with Geno Smith. I see 4 inches. He also looked under 6'0 with Larry Johnson as well.
Jay is 5'10. And remember the Geno measurement is in the morning too.
---
Jay Z at 5'10" isn't possible. 5'10" - 5'11" is arguable in that one pic, but look at him next to 6'4.75" Kobe Bryant, he's suddenly a good 6'2":
Click Here
I don't know if lifts come in to play at all, but he CAN look his listed height or taller on occasion. That said, looking at other pics of him with Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and Kanye West (who is 5'7", not 5'8" as listed here) I think 6'1.5" is VERY debatable for Jay Z. He can look 6'1" in one pic, and then be struggling mightily with 6'0" in the next.
Viper said on 25/Aug/13
Cano isnt 6'0. Hes 5'10. Geno was measured at 6'2 3/8 exactly in the morning.

Mathew said on 21/Aug/13
Geno Smith measured 6'2 3/8" to be exact, which is 189 cm. Jay Z looks about 181 cm in that photo. If we assume that the difference in height is even half of what it appears to be in that photo Jay Z still only comes out at 185 cm. He could be 187 cm but I'd be leaning towards a 185 - 186 cm listing.

I saw Jay Z at 40/40 next to a 5'11" tall model at an event. He was wearing boots, she was wearing flats, and they were the same height. He can not be more than 6'0" or even 5'11".

Might be 6ft2. Had 1in on Jonathan Ross whose 6ft1.5 claim is questionable.

6 02 a stupid thing for him to claim. Hes a strong 6 foot zero prolly 6 01 to be exact but not 6 02
Craig 177 said on 10/Jul/13
He shape-shifts, so his height can swing a fair bit.
Matt B said on 26/Jun/13
Based on his pic with Geno Smith, he needs a serious downgrade. Smith is 6'2 and it was verified during NFL combine. There is a solid 3 inch difference between them. Tells you that Jay Z wears lifts.

I used to think jay z was tall, but ive seen pics of him with snoop who is about 6.3/6.4 and he looks atleast 4 inches shorter. I dont think snoop would wear heel lifts, i believe jay-z would though, i reckon hes a 5 10 without his dressing shoes and 3 inch heels.

Seems a legit 6'2 due to the obama pics. Obama is 6'1.5. Will seemed taller than Jay Z in the photos shown. He was leaning back more than Jay Z and was still taller. He had boots on though while the shoes Jay Z had didn't add much to his height.
Jed said on 2/May/13
Again, hardly taller than DiCaprio at the Gatsby premier.
penguinboy25 said on 26/Apr/13
I believe 6'0.75 or 185 cm max is closer. I'd say there is more evidence that shows this rather than him being 6'1.5 or 6'2. 6'2 is ridiculous.
Jed said on 23/Apr/13
He's under 6'1. The Deron Williams video proves that.

Now here is Hov with regular height people

He's not 6'0.5 thats too low.That picture with 50 you dont know what their standing on and the picture below it shows Jayz and Dr.Dre.And in that pic Jayz is much taller looking 6'3 in that pic so you cant go on headshot pics at least this one with Heavy D(6ft2.5)their legs are visible anyways. Jayz looks 6ft2 with Heavy D same height with Heavy being taller by a slim.Jayz posture have to be put into account too.Jay-z is 6ft2 Heavy D is 6ft2 but Rob put 6ft2.5 for D.
Jayz is never really towered by 6ft4 guys ever.A rapper like 2chainz(needs to be added) who's like 6ft4.5(this guy's height is recorded since he played basketball) range did'nt towers Jayz in their pic together. I think Rob should upgrade him 6ft2 is his real height...Legendary Rapper Legendary Height.

Jay-Z is a noted lift/Timberland wearer. That is the reason his height fluctuates so much/often. Jay is 6'0.5" tall. Trust me on this, as I've worked with him on several occasions.

Besides them not looking identical in height in that picture (Jeter is clearly taller), you do know that baseball height listings are just as often exaggerated as any other American sport, right? There are a not insigificant amount of little 5'7" and 5'8" guys running around on the field listed anywhere from 5'9" to 5'11".

Yes Jeter is at least an inch taller than Jay Z in that picture and Jeter probably isn't even a legit 6'3". Look at the fan who caught his 3000th hit (this guy claims 6'3") next to Jeter:

@MD Jeter has about 1inch-1.5 tops!Jayz isnt alot shorter then him at all. And you assumption that all athletes have their height boosted up is totally not true and silly.I dont think you notice Jayz neck isnt erect.Jeter's hair also increases his height.I look at the top of his hairline.

jayz isnt just 6'1 max the pictures Ive seen with him and williams hes never towered and their pratically the same. the time williams looks taller jayz isnt standing straight and 2. the floor hes standing on has to play a part as well. In my opinion same height .Jayz 6'1.75-6'2 range.Deron 6'1.75-6'2
Tony said on 16/Nov/12
I agree with Dsmooth. In pictures taken with 6'1.75 measured point guard Deron Williams, Jay-z looks at least .5 of an inch shorter.

Actually, I've changed my mind on Jay-Z and Obama... Obama was measured at 6'1'' according to the medical document, but we do not know what time of day he was measured.... he could be 6'0'' if he was measured at 6'1'' in the morning.

Jay-Z has the frame of an average man, which makes him look not tall at all. He looks 5'9'' when standing on his own because of his small frame. Does not give a tall impression in the slightest.

50 cent is not even 5'11 but we don't see their feet and the ground could be uneven. i think 6'1.5 is accurate for jay z and i never liked him.

but yet on this picture, Jay is looking 2 inches taller than 50, how could that be?
Click Here
I think Jay-Z probably wears lifts on some occassions. He literally wants to be a larger than life rapper. I think his real height is 6'0.5 but I guess he wants to be 6'2 for some reason so wears thick footwear. I don't care if you Jay groupies wanna bash me for this one but the first 50 cent picture says it all.
