More quotes by Raekwon
In the early 2000s, I was going through a lot. I didn't have my head screwed on right. Where I was at as a man, I was still growing up.
Raekwon
As an artist, it's so important to create music that puts a chill through your body or does something to make you feel good. I think my album has a little bit of everything in it and that's important to me.

A star's the work - the work ethic you put into the business, and the people you excite. We only wanted to excite only a few people at that time, which was some o' the emcees that was hot that was in the game.
Raekwon
I consider myself a genius because, when you talk about anything and everything, you a genius to me. It's just about makin' it fire on top o' more fire.

The most important thing is just to be recognised as a legend, like the people call me. To have that title attached to your name, you've got to be a bad man. It's an honour to have that role.
Raekwon
Growing up in music motivated me. I applied that to my education and it made me a better person.
Raekwon
I don't have one track that I consider better than the next because all I'm trying to do is still grow as an artist.
Raekwon
I'm very unpredictable, but at the end of the day, I'm working. Sometimes things change in my life. It's like, 'Hold up - that ain't feel good. That felt good.' And that's how I look at anything I do.
Raekwon
I think that's a weak excuse, to say because a rapper's getting older that he ain't got it no more. Nah. Don't go by that philosophy. Let's just recognize that talent is within.
Raekwon
But 'Cuban Linx' was a project that really needed to come, and I really wanted to get it off my chest because I know that the fans were really skeptical about it, like 'is this really gonna be what it's supposed to be?' So once everybody caught it for what it was and everybody was happy, that's mission accomplished for me.
Raekwon
You know the steez you know my whole program. Brothers from the No-Lands, all we want is the G's guns and grams.
Raekwon
You know, I'm a product of my environment, gettin' into everything you know a kid my age would get into, a lot of negativity was surroundin' me. And we came, sat up and had a discussion about makin' a record, I think I was more or less overwhelmed with just that fact.
Raekwon
It's important to have a spiritual side because tomorrow's no promise to us. We have to pay homage to our saviour and put him in our life more because, without him, you don't know where you're going to go.
Raekwon
The better you get, the more your legacy shines. I always just try to go hard. If you don't want do it for real, don't do it at all.
Raekwon
Soul music has so many great artists who put their thing down. That's important.
Raekwon
I never been a hater of these other cats, who never really had nothing, being successful. That's not my problem.
Raekwon
All I did was take my time, figure out where I made a lot of mistakes and try not to make them no more.

L.A.'s always been good to me.

I think a lot of people can learn from listening to hip hop. It ain't always about beats and rhymes.
Raekwon
Well Ice H20 is my company that I plan to take to the next level with new artists, books, movies and so forth. It's more like a multimedia brand that I want to take to the next level and put some talented people on.
