Jay-Z is a popular mainstream rapper who many alt sites give authentic credibility, but I'm not sure why. He enjoys to give interviews where he talks about listening to 'far out, real ass shit', including indie buzzbands like Grizzly Bear and the Dirty Projectors. The Dirty Projectors have a song called "Stillness is the Move", and Jay-Z highjacked that abstract song title and used it to describe what makes Bono so awesome

Does this even make sense?

“In hip-hop, there’s not many great performers,” Jay-Z acknowledged. “I look outside the genre, measuring myself against others. I look at Madonna’s production and envy that. Daft Punk’s set, I’m like, what the. . . . And I look at the way U2 can command an audience. Bono’s a performer pretty much like I am. He’s not a dancer; he’s not jumping around. He’s having a conversation. He’s using his stillness as movement.”

Damn. Bono. Using his 'stillness as a movement.'
Does 'stillness is the move' really mean anything, or is it just some poo poo abstract indie lyric?
Does it make u want to listen to 'Stillness is the Move' and connect with existential ideas?

Should I start using 'his stillness was his move' to describe other people in the real world?

Does this seem like a good application of 'stillness is the move'?
"The blacked homeless man had pissed and shat himself, laying passed out in the Chili's Parking Lot. His stillness was truly his move."

or

"My mom passed away that night in the County Hospital. The doctors did everything they could to save her, but now she was with God. Her body was at rest and her stillness was finally her move."

or

'The piece of poop fell out of my butt hole, falling into the port-o-potty. It fell into a massive swamp of human feces, united as one large mega turd, unphased by the falling pee and poop. The block of poop was moving in stillness. The stillness was its strength, it's move, it's escape. This is life, and stillness is the move.'

What does 'stillness is the move' mean?
Have u ever used ur stillness as a movement?
Is Jay-Z 'stealing alt culture'?
Will Jay-Z steal indie lyrics on his next album?
Would the Dirty Projectors be happy 'singing the chorus' on a Jay-Z song?
Is Jay-Z authentic, or are rappers just coolhunting high jackers?
Is 'Biting Orcas' the most important album of the 21st century?
Does n e 1 know if when Jay-Z sings about Brooklyn/NYC, he is singing about the 'hipster parts' or the 'black people parts'?
