vintage car jaguars
I don't like new cars; I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.
growing-up world want
I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.
inspiration people want
[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.
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.
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.
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.
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.
wanted models
I wanted to model when I was younger.
new-york real rapper
I would not consider myself to be a quote unquote real New York rapper. I don't even like New York rappers.
fashion crazy thinking
So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.
