Jay-Z

“We love the excitement and the sparring, but in this day and age there’s so much negative stuff that comes with it that you almost wish it didn’t happen,”

“I took that really hard. And I knew that we was going to walk through that because, first of all, it's not true. And the truth, at the end of the day, still reigns supreme.”

“Why would I sell out? I'm already rich, don't make no sense / Got more money than Goodell, a whole NFL bench.”

“I was heartbroken. I’m glad we got right to that so we could get that out the way. I was really heartbroken by everything that occurred. We’re in a space now where consequence is not thought about enough, because everything is so instant.”

“Black people, for sure. I don’t think that the world has to agree with everything I do.”

“So, the things that we care about — ‘But it’s the right cultural thing!’ — they’re like: ‘I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I have no idea what that means.’”

“I chose the guy who was having a monster year. It was the right choice. What do I care about those two guys battling? What’s that got to do with me? Have at it. People drag everyone into it, like there’s some conspiracy to undermine Drake. It’s like, what the fuck? I’m Jay-Z!”

“You got all that in the music for $10.99. Take the $500,000, go buy some albums and listen to the albums.”

“Everything I said was going to happen, happened. Everything I said I wanted to do, I've done. There's the blueprint”

“The burden of poverty isn't just that you don't always have the things you need,”

“It's the feeling of being embarrassed every day of your life, and you'd do anything to lift that burden.”

“But actually, in last year's American election, Jay-Z voted Democrat.”
