It's not that I'm playing a rapper. I definitely feel like I'm a legitimate rapper. I just think that, who I am, there's more to me than just being a rapper.

Lil Dicky

I don't like calling myself a "feminist" only because I don't think I've done anything active enough to call myself one. It'd be like calling myself a civil rights activist just because I'm not racist.

Bo Burnham

I don't consider myself a gangsta rapper. But I'm probably more qualified to be a gangsta rapper than people who call themselves that. I've been through that life.

Coolio

I don't like calling it Christian rap. Titles are so limiting. It's hip-hop. I'm a rapper.

Andy Mineo

Calling has this weight that somehow we think that your calling is fixed. That your calling is this line that you’ve finally found and now you're on that track and that’s what you’re gonna do forever and maybe that's the case. But I feel like calling has much more to to do with the moment that you’re in.

Jon Foreman

I don't think of myself as just a rapper. But overspending on sneakers? That's a real rapper thing to do.

Saint Jhn

I don't think I'm good, I don't think I'm a good rapper. I think a lot of people always want me to battle somebody and stuff like that which is cool, but I don't see myself as a rapper.

Donald Glover

I didn't want to admit that I was a performer. A performer meant spotlights - a performer had connotations of theater. I would have preferred agent to performer.

Vito Acconci

I wanted to be performer; like, I used to dance at weddings. I felt acting was my calling, and that is something I wanted to do.

Varun Dhawan

I'm a different type of rapper. I work more than the average rapper.

Tech N9ne

I get nervous calling myself an artist. I feel I'm more like an interpreter or a violinist, you know.

Meryl Streep

People always have these debates about who their favourite rapper is. And I think it's based upon what mood that particular person is in. If someone's favourite rapper is a lyricist then they're focused on rhymes or substance. If someone's favourite rapper is a party rapper, you know, someone who makes music about the clubs... "Oh, he's my favourite rapper". No, his subject matter is your favourite.

Immortal Technique

I was like 14 and decided I wanted to be a rapper, so I needed a hip rapper name. I was with one of my friends in class and literally went through a thesaurus. I saw "temper" and thought, "I like this, but it's too much." My friend was like, "What about Tinie for tiny," and that was that.

Tinie Tempah

Jason Aldean is actually probably a really good rapper. He sounds like it to me.

Blake Shelton

We are all people... don't label me as an LGBT rapper or a female rapper... I don't like to be labeled.

Young M.A

Personally, I feel like I'm trying to redefine what a really good rapper can be like. Like, I think it's not often where a good rapper can be making funny music.

Lil Dicky
