More quotes by Jay-Z
What people do in their own homes is their business, and you can choose to love whoever you love. That's their business. It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination, plain and simple.
Jay-Z
I look in the mirror, my only opponent
Jay-Z
I really just like breaking down the barriers, whether it means doing an album with Linkin Park, an album with R. Kelly, or playing at the Brandenburg Gate with Bono.
Jay-Z
Don't tell me what was said about me. Tell me why they were so comfortable to say it to you.
Jay-Z
I don't even like the word politics. It implies something underhanded and I think we need less government.
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
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
The day Obama got elected, the gangsta became less relevant.
Jay-Z
[Banning marriage equality is] discrimination, plain and simple. It's really not about votes. It's about people. I think it's the right thing to do as a human being.
Jay-Z
The most amazing feeling I feel Words can't describe what I'm feeling for real Maybe I paint the sky blue My greatest creation was you.
Jay-Z
Successful people have a bigger fear of failure than people who've never done anything because if you haven't been successful, then you don't know how it feels to lose it all.
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
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
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
Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything everyone gained.
Jay-Z
My tears is tatted, my rag in my pocket / Im just looking for love, I know somebody got it
Jay-Z
Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.
Jay-Z
I use a lot of double meanings. I hide 'em like Easter eggs.
Jay-Z
How could I be out there and not do anything?
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
