In this lifetime, you got two things: Bad and good, and ain't nothin' in between.
A lot of artists have a lot of different ventures, I think it's typical for a hip hop artist, at this point, to have a bunch of different ventures.
I never asked to be born, and death's no question. The sun's still shining off the same old lessons, Then why does life feel like an educated guess? And my thoughts are like meals. . . I'm a sucker for the seconds.
What I don't like is dance music or hip hop or any of that sort of thing.
And when I say it, they get alarmed. . . 'Cause I'm louder than a bomb.
I'm headed towards greatness. I think I'm making history in hip-hop.
Аll I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man. What I stand for speaks for itself. . . they don't understand.
I'm a child of the 70's. R&B to me is Curtis Mayfield. Then a transition came in and I was part of the Hip Hop era when Sugar and Kane came out. That was a good transition for me. Then now R&B is Hip Hop and Hip Hop is R&B.
I think it's a beautiful thing how Hip Hop is received by the world.
Having grown up far, far away in a small country town in Australia, I was only slightly aware of hip-hop.
Hip-Hop is being spoken through spirituality. . . Meaning that you'll be able to listen to it spiritually for yourself.
Hip-hop is interesting, but American pop music doesn't have the kind of diversity that the UK does.
I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.
They're gonna try to tell you no, shatter all your dreams. But you gotta get up and go and think of better things.
Hip-hop artist, especially the older ones, are the ones who new hip-hop was a worldwide phenomenon before the mainstream caught on, so hip-hop artists are forward thinkers. We want to stay with the new.
If you can make the hits, then you won't be an Internet rapper anymore. It's good for hip-hop.
I'm forever learning and that's why I'm always able to create new styles and new dimensions of hip-hop.
There's not a hip-hop artist that didn't snatch of piece of Bob Marley. It's totally impossible.
The only thing I wanted to accomplish was to finally get recognized by the music industry. If you know the awards, answer me this question: Do you see an award for soul music? No. They have R&B, funk, hip-hop and all sorts of contemporary things.
Been there, done that Sold crack, got jacked Got shot, came back Jumped on Dre's back!
