I mean, I have my heartaches and stuff.
Really, you can't blame these artists, today, for the music that has been produced.
I think the world has gotten nostalgic, ... Hip-hop is pushing 40, but the older generation is not being catered to at all. We're hoping that we can open up a market that can push for this older, mature hip-hop tip.
I've been taking it slow, enjoying every day, and everything good in my life.
I'm going to play two records, one old-school, one new-school, ... And you tell me which one moves you in your soul.
I wanted re-introduce the art form by making an album that included many different variations of stories and rap styles.
They weren't all pimps, but I'd see guys on the street who dressed really flashy. I remember seeing one guy who had a ruby in his mouth. Growing up, I just tried to blend their style with mine.
La di da di, we likes to party We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody.
Now I'm not the type that gets upset, Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect. But learn this fact: whether white or black, I can't be conquered in my style of rap. For jealousy and envy are dumb ones' tools, So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool. Revenge is not a mission that the Ruler's on, Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done.
Let me spell my name out for you, it's Ricky: R: Ravishing, I: Impress, C: Courageous or Careless, K: for the Kangols which I've got, That I wear everyday and Y: Why not?
Fresh dress, like a million bucks, Put on the bally shoes and the fly green socks
Ricky Ricky Ricky, can't you see? Somehow your words just hypnotize me.
I love eggs fried over medium.
Next thing you know, the hoe starts to ill, She says "I love you, Harold" and your name is Will!
