More quotes by 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
Everybody can tell you how to do it but they never done it
Jay-Z
Don't ever go with the flow. Be the flow.

I'm gonna fight, and I'm gonna make something out of nothing. That's pretty much the American dream. So, for me, the realization that I could speak to people like that came first on a small scale. Then it just started happening. I started having this vibration.

Jay-Z
I use a lot of double meanings. I hide 'em like Easter eggs.

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 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
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
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 like a girl who spend a little cash for her shoes.
Jay-Z
Ain't nothin' wrong with the aim, just gotta change the target.
Jay-Z
I smoked some weed, and that's how I finished 'Izzo.'
Jay-Z
I'm not concerned with noise because I'm playing the long game.
Jay-Z
I'm far from being god, but I work god damn hard.
Jay-Z
As kids we didn't complain about being poor we talked about how rich we were going to be and made moves to get the lifestyle we aspired to by any means we could. And as soon as we had a little money, we were eager to show it.
Jay-Z
You could name practically any problem in the hood and there'd be a rap song for you.
