Jay-Z is a dude that can give you a hundred 'Simpsons' quotes, like, 'What you know about the monorail?'

Hip-hop is an instant gratification, winners and losers circle, and often those who are losing give up after three or four, five years.

The Chronic represented everything that I hated about hip-hop as a fan, but then later represented everything that I stood for as a musician and engineer.

There's no such thing as success on an isolated level.

When you live your life through records, the records are a record of your life.
