Jay Z muncul sebagai cover majalah New York Times Edisi Oktober 2012 dengan banyak cerita, mulai dari karier musiknya, tentang Beyonce dan putri kecilnya, Blue Ivy Carter dan juga ikut berpendapat tentang Barack Obama.
On the Occupy Wall Street movement :
"Yeah, the 1 percent that's robbing people, and deceiving people, these fixed mortgages and all these things, and then taking their home away from them, that's criminal, that's bad. Not being an entrepreneur. This is a free enterprise, This is what America is built on."

On President Barack Obama being elected :
"I've said the election of Obama has made the hustler less revlevant. People took it in a way that I was almost dismissing what I am. And I was like, 'No, it's not a good thing!' No one came to our neighborhoods, with stand-up jobs, and showed us there's a different way. Maybe if I had seen different role models, maybe I'd've turned on to that."

On how his music has evolved :
"I didn't have enough life experience, so what I was doing was more technical. I was trying to impress technically. To do things other people cannot do. As I started getting life experiences, I realized my power was in conveying emotions that people felt."

On his daughter Blue Ivy growing up in today's world:
"She doesn't have to be tough. She has to love herself, she has to know who she is, she has to be respectful, and be a moral person."
