More quotes by Rakim
Things happen for a reason.
Rakim
I always tried to manage my money smart.
Rakim
I always wanted to kind of make the listener feel like it was them that I was talking about, or to the point that I could say the rhyme, and feel like it's them saying it.
Rakim
I've always been a fan of hip hop and there are cats out there that I admire.
Rakim
When I go out I get so much love I gotta change my way of thinking.
Rakim
I go to Queens for queens to get the crew from Brooklyn, Make money in Manhattan and never been tooken. Go Uptown and the Bronx to boogie down, Get strong on the Island, recoup, and lay around.
Rakim
My whole thing is if it wasn't for people like ya'll and people like them I wouldn't be me. I love every minute of it.

It is what it is but I do me and I think people respect that. They see me out in the hood by myself or with wifey and I don't have no bodyguards.
Rakim
I don't try to go to the studio and make a single. I just do whatever I feel.
Rakim
I never really liked the idea of doing mixtapes but at the same time it was a big thing a lot of people were doing it and it almost got to the point where if you didn't touch the mixtape circuit it was like you didn't care.
Rakim
If something comes at me of course I'm gonna handle my business but I'm not the type to provoke the bullshit so I don't really get a lot of that.
Rakim
You can't win for losing.
Rakim
It's a bold statement but I think people need to read between the lines.
Rakim
Do what you do don't let the label tell you to do something else.
Rakim
There's so many different ways to write a rhyme its stupid man. I don't understand why the majority of the rap game sounds the same.
Rakim
When you're trying to please both sides of the fence at the same time you really can't do that.
Rakim
Feed me hip-hop and I start tremblin'
Rakim
Thinkin' of a master plan Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand.
Rakim
I came in the door, I said it before I never let the mic magnetize me no more. But it's biting me, fighting me, inviting me to rhyme, I can't hold it back...I'm looking for the line. Taking off my coat, clearing my throat, My rhyme will be kicking until I hit my last note.
Rakim
I don't want to put nobody on blast but in the beginning it's like somebody telling you somebody looks like you and you've been looking in the mirror your whole life and nobody looks like you. Same thing with me.
Rakim
