To me, the 90's signaled the end of glam rock, the beginning of gangsta rap, and hopefully the beginning and end of boy bands.
Shane West
Violence is a part of America. I don't want to single out rap music. Let's be honest. America's the most violent country in the history of the world, that's just the way it is. We're all affected by it.
Spike Lee
We have groups that do that, but I can't rap with the mentality of an 18 year old when I'm in my 30's.
Ice T
We're feminists. We're doing something that only guys are expected to do and doin' it right! At our concerts we'll do one hard-core rap song and then do one where we'll be real sexy.
Cheryl James
Well unfortunately I didn't work with Andre much. But rap is a strong presence in the culture and anyone is going to grateful for its appearance, grateful for any kind of music that has the kind of effect that rap has had on us all.
Harvey Keitel
What I'm trying to do is break the genre from what is rap and what is music.
Wyclef Jean
When I first got into the rap game, I had an early dream of unifying rappers.
Ice T
When you do rap albums, you got to train yourself. You got to constantly be in character.
Tupac Shakur
When you talk about rap you have to understand that rap is part of the Hip-Hop culture.
Afrika Bambaataa
When you're a little kid, you don't see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.
Eminem
When you've been raised in care, rap music isn't just about guns and sexism. They're talking about real things you can hang on to, problems of identity that you have sympathy with. It's not just about the music, with rap: when I was in care, it meant a whole lot more than that.
Samantha Morton
Why shouldn't rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers, because they're black, can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.
Saul Williams
You have film actors doing TV, rap stars doing TV, with everyone kind of crossing the line.
Anthony Michael Hall
You have to come in on a professional level to make it, otherwise you just can't get into rap.
