"Concerts are pretty much performance art," Jay-Z said at the start of the film. "The venues change. Just by nature of the venues, the performance changes. If you're in a smaller venue, it's a bit more intimate so you get to feel the energy of the people...In a concert, especially in a large concert, all that energy comes to you. What do you do with that energy? So, today, it's kind of an exchange. You have somewhere to drop it back off."
Jay-Z also talked about the relationship between art and Hip Hop.
"When art started becoming part of the galleries, it became a separation between culture and even in Hip Hop, people were almost like, 'Art is too bourgeois,'" Jay-Z said. "We are artists. We're alike. We're cousins. That's where it's really exciting for me, bringing the worlds back together."
