Quotes

The art of rap is deceptive. It seems so straightforward and personal and real that people read it completely literally, as raw testimony or autobiography. And sometimes the words we use, nigga, bitch, motherfucker, and the violence of the images overwhelms some listeners.

Jay-Z quote: "My brands are an extension of me. They're close to me. It's..."
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
