More quotes by Jay-Z
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
I use a lot of double meanings. I hide 'em like Easter eggs.
Jay-Z
The burden of poverty isn't just that you don't always have the things you need, it's the feeling of being embarrassed every day of your life, and you'd do anything to lift that burden.
Jay-Z
The genius thing that we did was, we didn't give up.
Jay-Z

Jay-Z
Be true to yourself- and keep things simple. People complicate things
Jay-Z
When people say stuff like, Oh, that's soft rock. I don't listen to that, I find that elitist. It's music-racist.
Jay-Z
Leave a mark they can't erase, neither space nor time.
