More quotes by Jay-Z
How could I be out there and not do anything?
Jay-Z
Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything everyone gained.
Jay-Z
My brands are an extension of me. They're close to me. It's not like running GM, where there's no emotional attachment.
Jay-Z
Racism is taught in the home. We agree on that? Well, it's very hard to teach racism to a teenager who's listening to rap music and who idolizes, say, Snoop Dogg. It's hard to say, 'That guy is less than you.' The kid is like, 'I like that guy, he's cool. How is he less than me?
Jay-Z
People really feel like music is free, but will pay $6 for water. You can drink water free out of the tap and it's good water. But they're okay paying for it. It's just the mindset right now.
Jay-Z
You can pay for school, but you can't buy class
Jay-Z
It was a very intense and stressful situation. There was playing in the Johnny-pump (an opened fire hydrant) and the ice-cream man coming around and all of these games that we'd play, and suddenly it would turn just violent and there would be shootings at 12 in the afternoon on any given day.
Jay-Z
Everybody look at you strange, say you changed Like you work that hard to stay the same.
Jay-Z
I look in the mirror, my only opponent
Jay-Z
Hip-hop is a perfect mix between poetry and boxing.
Jay-Z
I had success. I had a number one record. I had a number one album. I have to make this kind of record again or else I'm going to lose it all. That's how you end up making the same song over and over.
Jay-Z
No matter where you go you are what you are player and you can try to change but that's just the top layer man you was who you was before you got here
Jay-Z
I don't even like the word politics. It implies something underhanded and I think we need less government.
Jay-Z
My thing is related to who I am as a person. The clothes are an extension of me. The music is an extension of me. All my businesses are part of the culture, so I have to stay true to whatever I'm feeling at the time, whatever direction I'm heading in. And hopefully, everyone follows.
Jay-Z
You not feeling me, fine. It costs you nothing, pay me no mind.
Jay-Z
I got this black chick, she don't know how to act Always talkin' out her neck, makin' her fingers snap She like, Listen Jigga Man, I don't care if you rap You better - R-E-S-P-E-C-T me
Jay-Z
Only God can judge me so I'm gone, either love me or leave me alone.
Jay-Z
Ain't nothin' wrong with the aim, just gotta change the target.
Jay-Z
Without the work, the magic won’t come.
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
