Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.
Back in the day, if someone said that hip hop and rap was a fad, that was a joke to me because they just didn't know what they were talking about. In reality, there were so many people who didn't know what they were talking about it.
All the rappers in rave music are like the sloppy seconds of rappers who couldn't make it.
Rapping is competitive. Even someone who is not particularly fond of my music, may claim to be my fan only because he hates Honey Singh.
The L.A. rap scene is popping again because rappers stopped saying 'West Coast.' Nobody says that anymore. Fans of L.A. music were reaching and saying, 'This is West Coast music,' because nobody else liked it.
I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.
To me, rap music is bigger than who's the coolest rapper, the biggest rapper. It's everything about your personality.
Whether you like him or not, hip hop needs Drake.
By the late '80s, I was already giving up on rap music.
Serious rap music puts me to sleep.
Rappers were my storytellers.
