More quotes by Rakim
You have to learn how to take an allowance.
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
I used to roll up: this is a hold up, ain't nuthin funny. Stop smiling, be still, don't nuthin move but the money.
Rakim
I'm everlastin, I can go on for days and days With rhyme displays that engrave deep as X-rays I can take a phrase that's rarely heard, FLIP IT Now it's a daily word
Rakim
Rappers are separated.
Rakim
I love listening to old records to keep nostalgic feeling it allows me to not lose the love for hip-hop.
Rakim
Sometimes people say yo do you think rap changed you. No doubt it changed me. If I wasn't making records I'd still be hanging every night.
Rakim
I kinda write in sequences that I live through.
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
Once I finish one album I know where to begin again.
Rakim
I've been writing for so long I got a lot of different ways to write.
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 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
Everything becomes too normal after a while.
Rakim
Take 7 emcees put em in a line And add 7 more brothers who think they can rhyme It'll take 7 more before I go for mine And that's 21 emcees ate up at the same time.
Rakim
When I go out I get so much love I gotta change my way of thinking.
Rakim
You can't win for losing.
Rakim
Everything derives from the mind. From sex to the way you want people to perceive you to anything in life, it all derives from the mind. If people start realizing this and get deeper into themselves they'll realize there's nothing that they can't do.
Rakim
Now life is imitating art.
Rakim
It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at.
