More quotes by Jay-Z
I use a lot of double meanings. I hide 'em like Easter eggs.
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
If I don't show the world growth, how are we going to grow?
Jay-Z
I'm a mirror. If you're cool with me, I'm cool with you, and the exchange starts. What you see is what you reflect. If you don't like what you see, then you've done something. If I'm standoffish, that's because you are.
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
Everything evens up, you just wait, Even a garbage can gets a steak, You ain't even a garbage can, you have faith!
Jay-Z
The genius thing that we did was, we didn't give up.
Jay-Z
Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama's running so we all can fly.
Jay-Z
Hip-hop is a perfect mix between poetry and boxing.
Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Jay-Z
When I listen to great music, the first thing I wonder is what people were saying when this came out of the speakers in the studio. I want to know what happened when they played it and said, This is the one!
Jay-Z
Niggas pray and pray on my downfall, But every time I hit the ground I bounce up like round ball
Jay-Z
Ex-D-boy, used to park my Beamer Now look at me, I can park in my own arena
Jay-Z
No matter where you go you are what you are player and you can try to change but that's just the top layer man you was who you was before you got here
Jay-Z
By the time I got to record my first album, I was 26, I didn't need pen or paper - my memory had been trained just to listen to a song, think of the words, and lay them to tape.
Jay-Z
No matter where you go, you are what you are playa.
Jay-Z
Hip-hop has done so much for racial relations, and I don't think it's given the proper credit. It has changed America immensely. I'm going to make a very bold statement: Hip-hop has done more than any leader, politician, or anyone to improve race relations.
Jay-Z
Difficult takes a day Impossible takes a week I do this in my sleep
Jay-Z
All these ways we classify things as R&B and hip-hop and rock... It's bullshit. It's all music. If you put yourself in that box, then you won't be able to hear that it's all music at its soul.
Jay-Z
