More quotes by 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
Your future is ahead of you. Imagine the notion of the past fifteen years of your life being a blip in your story.
Jay-Z
For me, being with Obama or having dinner with Bill Clinton... It's crazy. It's mind-blowing, because where I come from is just another world. We were just ignored by politicians, by America in general.
Jay-Z
Everybody can tell you how to do it but they never done it
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
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
A wise man told me don't argue with fools. Cause people from a distance can't tell who is who.
Jay-Z
The average rap life is two or three albums. You're lucky to get to your second album in rap!
Jay-Z
No one's walking around here perfect. Everyone's gonna make mistakes. That's part of how you learn.
Jay-Z
I use a lot of double meanings. I hide 'em like Easter eggs.
Jay-Z
I like a girl who spend a little cash for her shoes.
Jay-Z
Difficult takes a day Impossible takes a week I do this in my sleep
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
Hip-hop gave a generation a common ground that didn't require either race to lose anything everyone gained.
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.
Jay-Z
I don't even like the word politics. It implies something underhanded and I think we need less government.
Jay-Z
I was forced to be an artist and a CEO from the beginning, so I was forced to be like a businessman because when I was trying to get a record deal, it was so hard to get a record deal on my own that it was either give up or create my own company.
Jay-Z
My tears is tatted, my rag in my pocket / Im just looking for love, I know somebody got it
Jay-Z
Is to have had and lost/Better than not having at all?
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
