QUOTES BY Rakim

Without no disrespect to any artist, there's a lot of degrading music out there as far as degrading the culture and degrading society as well. That's individuals that choose to make that kind of music.

I love Kanye for that. Being a producer, making beats, and being a rapper. He does it all.

I always went left to what everybody else was doing. I'm used to going against the grain.

I love Jay-Z, I love Kanye, and I praise the way he's been able to bring more business out of the jungle.

I was always a laid-back, subdued person, and I just try to let that speak through my music.

When I broke up with Eric B., I went on a little hiatus. Then all I was trying do is find producers. It's real hard, man.

One of the main reasons why it didn't work out for me and Aftermath is because I felt my music should sound one way, and they felt it should sound another. But, I learned a lot from watching Dre, and when I left California, I knew it was time for me to get my own label.

I'm more of a wordsmith, so I like taking different words and trying to see what I can do with them - as many things as possible.

I was an athlete in college - a quarterback, a leader - so people telling me what to do doesn't work.
