he

will

be honored to be in these situations where I could use my voice and do the things that I do, yeah, he inspires me, you know,

life

and all kinds of things, you can say something right now and what inspired me to write a song. or something that happens, you know, most kids are just inspired by Basquiat's drawings, you know they're drawn, and yet most young kings get their heads cut off at the bottom and I looked at that and I thought which is powerful, you know, just the statement itself, you know, it lends itself to a song, the song begins inspired by Basquiat, my cars on fire, everyone shot, hit my body, I'm tired, ministers, strengthen me, make me They tear me down, they rebuild me again, be at home, we need you.

I came back so we could kill, yeah, again, you know, it's like that love/hate thing the world has successfully, period. I myself walk in every woman. I don't walk in any room like the others. I'm not. I'm not. shrinking I don't speak softly I'm not my voice doesn't change it sounds exactly the same I'm walking like myself and proud and I talk and I talk for us and that and that gives me joy, I guess I feel honored to be like that, yeah, as you know, don't listen no one, everyone is afraid, you know, everyone tells you how things turned out, but it turned out well for you, so don't listen to anyone because their experiences are unique. who they are, you know, I mean, and then a lot of people

will

try to impose their rates on you, you can't do that, no, you can't do that, you know, what I'm saying, so they're just projecting and they're putting things up. that they don't think they can do with you and possibly do it like my uncle, right, he was telling me I'm never going to do it, my uncle said: never sell a million records, I sold a million records like a million times you.

I know, so it wasn't. I'm sure they would put it on. I am his nephew. I know. I don't think he meant any malice. Why did he do the best for you? But he was just projecting his fears and things that are yours. He's crazy how are you going to do that, how do you know. I'm sure there are things I do now that he can't believe he could accomplish. We couldn't even see him at the time, so he was just planning to give me his rates. so everything is just you know and I always believe you gray, even before anyone else believes me, you know it's an extension of my family, it's like the things that I do, I tell them, I tell my family all the time. time, to my grandmother, to my mother.

You know that today they are proud, they are super proud strong women and they will not get injured for anything and I say man, you know that there are times when I don't want to have my photo taken and I want to equalize and there are no paparazzi, they like to take photos of you in the face and yell at you and take pictures and they can't take your child to the farm and I think that's the kind of thing that gives me the reason why I'm okay with it and why I can cope and live with these things without You know that as much as a complaint, it is the things that allow me to make the spaces for the reports or the rooms that I am allowed to enter, since I take care of most of it myself. with success it's about people you started your

life

with and what a success for us, for them people look at you strange saying you change like you work so hard to stay to say you're doing all this for a reason and what happens More Most of the time people change, people change around you because they start treating you differently because of your success, so you are changing, you are not changing who you are, the core of who you are, the things you believe in, the Things you love and things you die on. and your principles you don't change that when you're going to change who you are you're going to change you know you can't do the same things you can't hang in the corner with some people they may not think it's good and then try the other side of success, how do you look people when you have success, medals in the media, people, so you said every step you take in mind you get it, so no matter how far away you are, you still have that stigma about you or where you come from when you walk in the door Even if you have a tuxedo oh yeah the guy who used to be this and did that most kings had him cut right I mean war, battle and life at the end of the day to achieve everything you want you have arrived to the top of the throne and then they just cut your head off do things that are true to you you know most of the things I'm involved in with our extension of being creative you know Rocco his clothes are part of your head what you try and you wait, spread Express how you dress mom, you know, I love sports growing up.

I grew up in a home where sports were on 20 seven so these are things that you know are comfortable for me you know these are things that I like so I would just say get involved in the things that you love and also know that you have a standard for yourself and that you have some kind of integrity and that you try to find some kind of truth in what you're doing, what do you learn? on the street because you talk about being 13 years old and selling crack, did that teach you anything about how to be a successful businessman or how all the things that you apply in business, you know, you know, they say you have great instincts? you know, but hey, on the streets, having great instincts can be the difference between life and death, not just losing the deal, well, oh yeah, or imprisonment, you know, which is less than the right to death and it is just and you have not been a person of great integrity. you know people want to deal with you you know in business and trust you know trust and honor and you know a man of your word you know all of these things come into play in the business world when I approve of something there is a redeeming power to taking a decision you know, instead of feeling like you are the effect of all the things that are happening, make a right decision, just decide what is going to be who you are going to be, how you are going to do it, just decide and then from that point the universe moves on. is going to get out of your way this light is water it wants to move and spin things you know, I realize that when you have the level of success that I want to have it's hard to spread it out and do it multiple things it takes such a desperate obsessive focus you have to concentrate with all your might. your fiber and all your heart and all your creativity you are associated with several brands HP coke Budweiser how do you decide who you want your name your brand your Voice linked and what companies you don't like.

I try. I try sometimes. It's more about relationships. I try to work with brands if there is some kind of partnership. Know. I usually don't do it just once. sponsorship deals, I've just never been interested in it, it's more if I can create some kind of association, you know, the color code is an association when the managers acted like at the same time, so I look for something promised, you know, instead of something unique. endorsement oh yeah, it sounds like you insist on some creative control and aren't willing to just give away the Jay-Z brand or let people buy it from you.

For me, my life is who I am as a person, so I can. Don't just let someone have creative control of why it's important, it's the best investment

advice

, what was it? Remember if it was in the market or simply investing in life and business. I think he's doing things that you think you know, things that you understand, I think. that's the best thing and that's my Warren Buffett ada, it was the other day and I felt mainly that you know, just invest in things that you understand, talking about Warren Buffett, that you spent recently and with him in Omaha, Nebraska, I went to the line two, I sat down with It turned out that you two had more in common?

Maybe I think most people do. After a conversation, you realize you have more feedback than you know. Things that are different. What did he take from you? What did you learn from? sitting with him and what do you think he might have learned from meeting with you? I don't know, I have no idea about the side of him, well, my son is very smart, he knows? And he again told me that instincts are really important in business. You know, I didn't go to any kind of Business School and we need a super follow-up to any manual, like managed business 101, something like that.

I just follow my instincts and he just reaffirmed that it's very important, what about what you have? I read that. Your mother gave you a three-ring binder and you wrote your lyrics in it when you were a child and you hide it under your bed so no one will steal it. Your words are still your most valuable possession. Yes, because they cost all this. Know? they saved my life, they did well the things and activities I was in, just as a broad statement, you know, everyone says maybe it would be, but not really, you know there was one of my friends who is like a dear friend of Mine would be together every day and if it wasn't for rap, if they hadn't taken me away, you know where I was, you know, he went to jail for 12 years and we were together every day, so I can't even.

Imagine a circumstance in which you would not be with him.
