I don't just listen to rap. — © Kevin Gates
I don't just listen to rap.
I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.
I don't listen to rap all the time. Even though I rap, rap can be nerve-wracking.
I don't even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.
I'm just real in-tune with music - I really listen to R&B more than I listen to rap.
We listen to the greats. I'm not going to listen to average rap when I can listen to an Outkast album.
People always think I just focus on rap, but I listen to every type of music. If I like a song it don't matter what genre of music it is. I might listen to Duran Duran, I might listen to Sublime, maybe Red Hot Chili Peppers.
For you to be able to rap fast and fit many words into a bar, that's what rap is about, the showmanship. That's the thing we're kind of losing now. I'm not saying that the music now is horrible. I mean, I don't listen to it. The showmanship and creativity in rap is what made it special and what made it different.
In my house, I don't just always listen to rap.
You gotta do a lot more than rap. Rap is not just rap. If you don't have an image, you're not capturing nobody's attention.
I don't think you can be a good musician if you just listen to rap, or just the [type of music] you do. You gotta be open to other ideas.
Rap is good for politics because when you make a rap record, you put good music on a track and people listen to you. It's easier than trying to preach.
I listen to a lot of music, and I listen to some rap, and I do like listening to Biggie Smalls.
I can do a whole project with Madlib and turn around and do a record with Gucci Mane. Gucci Mane, E-40, and Black Thought on the same record. I like all those rappers, so why can't I work with them in some type of capacity? It just speaks to my versatility. I don't just listen to one type of rap. I listen to all of it so I can make all of it.
I try to keep the music fresh in my head. And I don't always listen to rap; I listen to a little bit of everything: R&B, rock.
I have no idea about the state of rap. I don't pay attention. I just listen to old music that I have.
I had written rap songs in the early '90s and even did a couple homemade rap songs with my brother in like '88 or '89, but it was just like... I don't even know how to say it. Just plain rap. I was just rapping about whatever, there was no real style or direction, it was just semi-braggadocious rhymes that probably imitated 100 other rappers.
