More quotes by Jay-Z
I'm gonna fight, and I'm gonna make something out of nothing. That's pretty much the American dream. So, for me, the realization that I could speak to people like that came first on a small scale. Then it just started happening. I started having this vibration.
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
I'm not saying I'm God. But as far as lyrics, I'm God MC.
Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Jay-Z
I jack, I rob, I sin. Aw man, I'm Jackie Robinson 'Cept when I run base, I dodge the pen
Jay-Z
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.
Jay-Z
Wherever I go, I bring the culture with me, so that they can understand that it's attainable. I didn't do it any other way than through hip-hop.
Jay-Z
Everybody look at you strange, say you changed Like you work that hard to stay the same.
Jay-Z
I smoked some weed, and that's how I finished 'Izzo.'
Jay-Z
No one's walking around here perfect. Everyone's gonna make mistakes. That's part of how you learn.
Jay-Z
You could name practically any problem in the hood and there'd be a rap song for you.
Jay-Z
I'd rather die enormous than live dormant.
Jay-Z
They say a midget standing on a giant's shoulders can see much further than the giant. So I got the whole rap world on my shoulders, they trying to see further than I am.
Jay-Z
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
A poet's mission is to make words do more work than they normally do, to make them work on more than one level.
Jay-Z
I think the consumption of music is at an all-time high. But I think the ways that record companies are trying to monetize it is just all over the place. At the end of the day, music is in the clouds. Before, you could hold it, look at it, turn it around. Now, it's just in the air.
Jay-Z
Difficult takes a day Impossible takes a week I do this in my sleep
Jay-Z
I'm hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter.
Jay-Z
That's why this generation is the least racist generation ever. You see it all the time. Go to any club. People are intermingling, hanging out, having fun, enjoying the same music. Hip-hop is not just in the Bronx anymore. It's worldwide. Everywhere you go, people are listening to hip-hop and partying together. Hip-hop has done that.
Jay-Z
Electing a black man named Barack Obama President in the same country that elected George W. Bush - twice! - is as far-fetched as a hustler from Marcy performing at that President's inauguration. But it happened.
