A Quote by J. Cole

In hip-hop, there's not a lot of love. There's not a lot of love being spread. It's always like 'I'm stuntin' on you raps, or I'm better than you raps.' It's not a lot of 'Yo man, I idolize you raps.'

This is going to seem odd, but I love Eminem because he has so much conviction and emotion in the way he raps. Every word that he raps, you feel it.

Jessica Sanchez

Naw, I don't write raps down. All my raps come off the top of the head.

Yo Gotti

I remember, when I first rapped, I was writing raps. I don't write raps at all; I stopped early. I don't know - it seems like every day I find something a little bit easier.

Lil Uzi Vert

I'm supposed to be on top of a lot of people who are past me, but their business is better than my business. It ain't the raps.

Boosie

My dad loved music, and he passed that on to me. I fell in love with hip-hop the first time I heard it. I started writing raps at a young age. I wasn't a Christian at that point. I thought I was, but I don't think I was, looking back on it.

Trip Lee

What made '400 Degreez' great is that Juvenile already had those raps. He already knew them. It was something that he knew every one of those raps.

Mannie Fresh

Just because someone raps, doesn't mean that's all they can do. A lot of people are multi-talented.

DMX

Everyone who raps isn't hip-hop. To be hip-hop, you've got to know the culture. You got to know the history.

Ice T

We get a lot of raps as Americans for being small-minded, but in fact, when you really drill down to the core of the culture, there's an enormous amount of compassion and forgiveness and support.

Bartlett Sher

I've written a couple raps in my day, in my own music career, that people don't know a lot about.

Renee Elise Goldsberry

Gangsta Rap is dead. I've moved on. And the raps that I'm rappin to my community shouldn't be filled with rage? They shouldn't be filled with same attrocities that they gave me? The media they don't talk about it, so in my raps I have to talk about it, and it seems foreign because there's no one else talking about it.

Tupac Shakur

I've got a lot of songs about having fun and partying, but it's a lot of work. Sometimes, I make 50 songs and pick out the best 10. I've been in the studio all day, all night, making the beat, writing the raps.

Juicy J

I love MTV. I watched 'Beavis and Butthead,' 'Wayne's World,' 'Yo! MTV Raps.' And they used to have music videos on there. When I got the chance to be on MTV, I took the first opportunity.

Riff Raff

I`m lucky in that in my character in hip hop is me. I`m Michael Render. My character is Killer Mike. But the truth that I sing in my raps align themselves with the policy of Bernie Sanders.
