During the trial over the sample of the Egyptian song "Khosara Khosara" on the Jay Z and Timberland collaboration "Big Pimpin'," Jay Z was asked why he had not researched the rights to the song before using it.
"That’s not what I do. I make music," he replied. "I make music, I'm a rapper, I’ve got a clothing line, I run a label, a media label called Roc Nation, with a sports agency, music publishing and management. Restaurants and nightclubs … I think that about covers it.".
"I’m not so sure. You have a music streaming service [Tidal], don’t you?" prompted his attorney Andrew Bart.
"Yeah, yeah. Forgot about that," answered Jay Z.
