If you're going to point out the ridiculousness of a rule, it's naïve to think that you can break it. It's the same way that rappers have embraced capitalism. Some people say they liked it better when rap was a literal protest form in the '90s. But I think it's more a form of protest today, because it's telling the story of what happens once something forbidden is within reach. I think rap is more political today when it speaks about luxury watches than it does about fighting the power.
I call my brother 'Sun' cause he shine like one.
And when it comes to gettin nookie, I'm not a rookie. . . I got girls that make that chick Toni Braxton look like Whoopi.
You ain't as hard as you act. When I GPS 'pussy,' I end up at your welcome mat.
Rap is just to me very annoying.
If you've got beef, then eat a porkchop
It's hard to find rap that I love, you know. I'm one of those rapping a** rappers, but I just fall into a different category because I'm giving the people what they want.
You can put together an album with a bunch of producers, but your vision has to be clear. If you just grab a track from this person and this person and put them on a CD it doesn't mean that they go, just because you are rapping over them.
Maybe my records might make the next Ja Rule or Jay-Z want to rap.
Crack mothers, crack babies and AIDS patients Youngbloods can't spell, but they could rock you in PlayStation.
Working hard may help you maintain, To learn to overcome the heartaches and pain.
Either I'm listening to rap music, getting hyped up to go out and do something, or I'm listening to church music.
This one's for you, and I truly hope you hear me, Through all your travels, I'm wishing you a peaceful journey.
I bet you never heard of a playa with no game, Told the truth to get what I want, but shot it with no shame. Take this music dead serious while others entertain. I see they makin' they paper so I guess I can't complain. . . or can I? I feel they disrespectin' the whole thang. Them hooks like sellin' dope to black folks, And I choke when the food they serve ain't tastin' right, My stomach can't digest it even when I bless it.
When I hit the skins they all say, 'Damn Kane. . . You knock out the Bush like a presidential campaign!'
Not to toot my own horn, but I'm kind of easy on the eyes, I have my own swag, I love fashion, I'm not in a relationship, I don't have kids, I can rap and I have a very bold personality, so I can compete with the guys.
Up against Goliath, to bring butter home. I'm David on pavement, sling another stone.
I think The Eagles single-handedly destroyed country music - well, now, country music has been killed by rap crossovers, so it's hard to say. Maybe we can just agree that money killed country music.
I'm blacked than midnight on Broadway and Myrtle
I think self-destructiveness is given a really bad rap. I think it can also mean self-reflection and poetic sensiblity. It can mean empathy, hedonism, a libertarianism.
