If the beat is time, flow is what we do with that time, how we live through it. The beat is everywhere, but every life has to find its own flow.

Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama's running so we all can fly.
Jay-Z
Image
Hip-hop is more about attaining wealth. People respect success. They respect big. They don't even have to like your music. If you're big enough, people are drawn to you.
Jay-Z
Image
I believe you can speak things into existence.
Jay-Z
Image
No one's walking around here perfect. Everyone's gonna make mistakes. That's part of how you learn.
Jay-Z
Image
By the time I got to record my first album, I was 26, I didn't need pen or paper - my memory had been trained just to listen to a song, think of the words, and lay them to tape.

There's the gift, there's the spirit, and there's the work-all three have to come together. If one of those things is off, it can stop you from becoming who you were meant to be.

I'm not concerned with noise because I'm playing the long game.
Jay-Z

We change people through conversation, not through censorship.

You not feeling me, fine. It costs you nothing, pay me no mind.

Jay-Z
Image
Hip-hop is a perfect mix between poetry and boxing.
Jay-Z
Image
I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That's what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that's from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
Jay-Z
Image
Artists can have greater access to reality they can see patterns and details and connections that other people, distracted by the blur of life, might miss. Just sharing that truth can be a very powerful thing.
Jay-Z
Image
For me, the challenge is just making great albums, because talent - and writing in general - is not tangible. There's no expiration date on it. At the same time, you might wake up tomorrow and be unable to write music.
Jay-Z
Image
When I listen to great music, the first thing I wonder is what people were saying when this came out of the speakers in the studio. I want to know what happened when they played it and said, This is the one!
Jay-Z
Image
Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything everyone gained.

The day Obama got elected, the gangsta became less relevant.

Jealousy’s a weak emotion.

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