More quotes by Rakim
I had a little more freedom when I started sampling because you could actually do what you wanted to do.
Rakim
Even when I was out on tour I used to fly home on the weekends to be with my girl and be with my family to see my kids grow up and just be there for them. When they started going to school it was like that too whether it was homework or if I have to go up to the school I was there.
Rakim
When you're trying to please both sides of the fence at the same time you really can't do that.
Rakim
I never went to college. I think about it a lot. I can't watch a game without thinking where I would have been if I had ga head and went to college and pursued my career.
Rakim
I don't try to go to the studio and make a single. I just do whatever I feel.
Rakim
Get your money and as long as nobody is stepping on my wad then we're good.
Rakim
When you come in the building with your guns don't take them off.

Do what you do don't let the label tell you to do something else.
Rakim
I can take a phrase that's rarely heard/Flip it - now it's a daily word
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
Whenever I sat down to write something it was never anything I took lightly. It was something that I'd want you, somebody in Japan, and somebody [over there to hear it].
Rakim
Teach the youth to speak the truth, show them what peace can do
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
Being in this game if you are gonna sell drugs and make records too then as many records you make is gonna be as many people that know you sell drugs. We got the hip hop cops listening now.
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.
Rakim
I just try to do me and stay out of harms way.
Rakim
Hopefully the rappers can start to open the eyes in the neighborhoods and communities.
Rakim
It's a bold statement but I think people need to read between the lines.
