B-E-A-S-T

Publication: Jay-Z For July 2009's Billboard Magazine.
If you grow up listening to hip-hop, you love hip-hop and that's the end of it. But if you're a 30-year-old rapper still trying to make music like you're 15, then you're making it narrow. At my age, I can't relate to a 15-year-old. I deal with mature and relevant topics for my age group -- it has to all be based on true emotions. The more diversity and the more mature we make hip-hop, the bigger the net you cast." - Jay-Z

He did say 30 was the new 20, what else did you expect?
