I grew up in the south of Italy, next to the sea, which was a great place to grow up. The type of life we lived there was very relaxing. Just very fun, open-minded people. It was all very sociable and low-key.
For inspiration you go to the archives, you go to things of the past, but you still need to be contemporary for today. You can never forget the time you're living in because the past is the past and it will never come back.
If I wasn’t winning you wouldn’t care
Yes I’m a beast and I feast when I conquer!
Me against enemies, me against friends. Somehow theyboth seem to become one
I experiment with fashion, with my look, with everything. I’m a multidimensional woman, like all women are. The difference is that I have the balls to take chances.
Anyway Ri Ri what rhymes wit your name really? Money got you vacationing in Chile
Chimpanzees is hatin but I take it all in stride. Put her in a jungle with bananas on the side.
I'm bout that fast money, money ain't got no patience. But if them boys come run like you on probation.
But, by just being myself, I end up touching a lot more people who might never have paid much attention to a female rapper.
When I grew up I saw females doing certain things, and I thought I had to do that exactly. The female rappers of my day spoke about sex a lot . . . and I thought that to have the success they got, I would have to represent the same thing. When in fact I didn’t have to represent the same thing.
Bad b****es do not have promiscuous sex.
I hate cameras. I hate cameras and I hate camera phones. The camera's my worst enemy and my best friend. It's the way I convey my emotions to the world without saying a word, so I use it. People always say, 'You come alive as soon as the camera's on!'
Call it a curse, or just call me blessed, if you can't handle my worst, you ain't getting my best
