TimeOut: It’s interesting that you say that – most rappers appear to be very cautious about speaking out about social problems in their interviews.
Jay-Z: ‘Right. Yeah, that all comes out of fear. You gotta figure where most of these guys are coming from. They’re coming from very poverty-stricken areas, and now here they are and they have a chance to provide for themselves and their generation, and they want to hold on to it.
