proud feels
I wanna make music that I feel proud of when I'm onstage, that I feel like I put my all into.
real names parent
My real name's Rakim - my parents named me after the god MC himself.
new-york eye giving
It bring a tear to my eye to see native New York people give me my props because New York is stubborn and arrogant.
clothes guy design
Ksubi' - the Australian jean brand, they're one of my favourite brands of just clothes and stuff, and the Swedish brand 'Acne', but other than that, not at this point in time designing. I wouldn't mind collab'n with those guys though.
school people albums
People don't make albums any more. It's always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.
rap thinking artist
I really want to do the unexpected, and I think that's what I did when I executed 'Long.Live.A$AP.' I wanted people to really see the message and that I'm an artist who not only has the capability of rapping, but of composing great music both for people of my generation and for people with different backgrounds.
fashion reality looks
Sometimes I feel like what's hard for fashion designers to do is take looks from off the runway and actually put it into existence, into reality. That's really the hard part.
done violent despicable
Probably, violent things I've done when I was younger, was probably the most despicable thing that I've ever done.
new-york men swag
New York gave me hell for that 'Purple Swag,' man. They didn't respect me until 'Peso.'
want way followers
I treat everybody equal, and so I want to be sure that my listeners and my followers do the same if they're gonna represent me. And if I'm gonna represent them, then I also want to do it in a good way.
causes cooks knows
I don't cook, 'cause I don't know how to cook.
wanted models
I wanted to model when I was younger.

Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.
children thinking my-children
I was thinking about naming my child Kanye.
