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.
hate rapper hype
I hate the hype. When 50 Cent came out, people were saying that he was the best rapper alive: "Oh, he got shot nine times, he's better than Tupac, he's better than Biggie." That was all hype.
rapper views years
I strive for perfection, but Im not perfect. But what I can say is my morals are totally different than any other 24-year-old rapper my age now. I look at life totally different. A whole other aspect. I have different views and morals on life in general. And opinions.
art rap men
Man gave us laws, and God gave us time, It's the art of storytelling and I'm only telling mine.
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.
laughing potters harry-potter
I love 'Harry Potter' and JK Rowling - don't laugh at me!
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.
