Usually people who attack the rap are people who aren’t even fans.

Don’t sell yourself to fall in love, With those things you do.

My music isn’t rappity-rap-rap-rap

I really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever.

I don’t even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.

I Like My Raps But I’m Never Too Happy With Some Of ’Em Because I Feel Like They Could Be Better. But Every Time I Hear My Flow On That Song I Wow Myself

I Don’t Really Listen To Rap; I Just Like To Rap

When you do rap albums, you got to train yourself. You got to constantly be in character.

I think, on the rap side of life, I’ve always been inspired by and respected Missy Elliott for a long time. She’s funny and created an image for herself that was non-sexualized but was really interesting and really cool and really kind of avant-garde in a lot of ways.

When I first started making music, I was all about wordplay and how fast I could rap, but over the years, I’ve really gained an appreciation for melody. What’s cool is that when you’re singing, you have to be concise, and when you’re rapping, you have the opportunity to be really detailed with your lyrics.

The problem is that rap is so often a caricature of its own image. Nobody comes to the table with the seriousness of the effect that it can have; nobody is prepared for that.

My life owes me. Like an overdose, I’m slowly
Drifting into the arms of trouble, then trouble holds me

I have good pronunciation no matter what language I speak. Maybe it’s because my specialties are rapping and imitating others.

Rap is just somebody getting something off his chest. That’s all it is.

Usually people who attack the rap are people who aren’t even fans.

It’s not just a black thing. When we came out, it was already a foregone conclusion that all types of life listen to rap. All cultures. But we never knew that.

I just want to paint that picture of Chicago that everybody’s missing, and I just want to rap about it.

In Chicago, a lot of people don’t really got nothing to live for. Everybody can’t ball. Everybody can’t rap. Nobody is really doing those activities. There’s nothing to do but the streets.

I don’t think I would change really anything about rap. Rap don’t have no limits to it, and I like it like that.

In Highbridge, everyone goes up, either playing basketball or rapping.

Everybody has told me to rap and perform freestyle. I had the habit of going to the park and spitting on the microphone. They would always give me the microphone if I went to the park.

I don’t want to rap about the same thing everybody else is rapping about.
