More quotes by 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
Their gunnin' for me, want to see me fall, you know my story, been through it all, times I felt like dyin', but I ain't cryin', what didn't kill me, makes me strong as iron.
Jay-Z
I'm not concerned with noise because I'm playing the long game.
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
If your dad died before you were born, yeah, it hurts — but it’s not like you had a connection with something that was real. Not to say it’s any better — but to have that connection and then have it ripped away was, like, the worst. My dad was such a good dad that when he left, he left a huge scar. He was my superhero.
Jay-Z
Men lie, women lie, numbers dont
Jay-Z
If I don't show the world growth, how are we going to grow?
Jay-Z
Be true to yourself- and keep things simple. People complicate things
Jay-Z
Difficult takes a day Impossible takes a week I do this in my sleep
Jay-Z
I use a lot of double meanings. I hide 'em like Easter eggs.
Jay-Z
May the best of your today's be the worst of your tomorrow's
Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Jay-Z
The average rap life is two or three albums. You're lucky to get to your second album in rap!
Jay-Z
I'm far from being god, but I work god damn hard.
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
In trouble waters I had to learn how to float
Jay-Z
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears To be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye When I come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5.
Jay-Z
We change people through conversation, not through censorship.
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
Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything everyone gained.
