Jay-Z
We change people through conversation, not through censorship.

Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.

Jay-Z
Niggas pray and pray on my downfall, But every time I hit the ground I bounce up like round ball
Jay-Z
For me, being with Obama or having dinner with Bill Clinton... It's crazy. It's mind-blowing, because where I come from is just another world. We were just ignored by politicians, by America in general.
Jay-Z
The most amazing feeling I feel Words can't describe what I'm feeling for real Maybe I paint the sky blue My greatest creation was you.
Jay-Z
Hip-hop is a perfect mix between poetry and boxing.
Jay-Z
[Banning marriage equality is] discrimination, plain and simple. It's really not about votes. It's about people. I think it's the right thing to do as a human being.
Jay-Z
