Rakim
I never tried to crossover or be in the public's eye everyday. I'm laid back with it and at times I wondered if I was doing the right thing promoting myself staying back a little bit and coming out when I felt that I had too. But when I get all the accolades and hear the things people say it just puts it all together for me man. It's a blessing.

Rakim
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
Hopefully the rappers can start to open the eyes in the neighborhoods and communities.
Rakim
Tried to put shame in my game to make a name, I'mma put it on a bullet...put it in your brain.
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.
