Growing up, politics never trickled down to the areas we come from. But people from Obama's camp, and Obama himself, reached out to me and asked for my help on the campaign. We've sat and had dinner, and we've spoken on the phone. He's a very sharp guy. Very charming. Very cool.
Jay-Z

Be true to yourself- and keep things simple. People complicate things
Jay-Z
The reason I've been groundedand able to make albums, is because I've allowed my friends to come with me and voice an opinion. That's who keeps you grounded, the people who have known you longest.
Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Jay-Z
Leave a mark they can't erase, neither space nor time.
Jay-Z
Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything everyone gained.
Jay-Z
When I come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5. It ain't to play games with you, it's to aim at you, probably maim you. If I owe you I'm blowin' you to smithereens.
Jay-Z
I look in the mirror, my only opponent
Jay-Z
The day Obama got elected, the gangsta became less relevant.
