More quotes by Jay-Z
Hip-hop is more about attaining wealth. People respect success. They respect big. They don't even have to like your music. If you're big enough, people are drawn to you.
Jay-Z
Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.
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
No one's walking around here perfect. Everyone's gonna make mistakes. That's part of how you learn.
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
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
I had success. I had a number one record. I had a number one album. I have to make this kind of record again or else I'm going to lose it all. That's how you end up making the same song over and over.
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
I'm far from being god, but I work god damn hard.
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
I look in the mirror, my only opponent
Jay-Z
I got 99 Problems but Mitt ain't one.
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
[T]he truth is that drug addicts have a disease. It only takes a short time in the streets to realize that out-of-control addiction is a medical problem, not a form of recreational or criminal behavior. And the more society treats drug addiction as a crime, the more money drug dealers will make relieving the suffering of the addicts.
Jay-Z
Ex-D-boy, used to park my Beamer Now look at me, I can park in my own arena
Jay-Z
Don't ever go with the flow. Be the flow.
Jay-Z
You know the type: loud as a motorbike but wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight.
Jay-Z
Without the work, the magic won’t come.
Jay-Z
You not feeling me, fine. It costs you nothing, pay me no mind.
Jay-Z
I will not lose, for even in defeat/There's a valuable lesson learned, so it evens up for me
Jay-Z
