I hadn't done much rapping in a while. I really wasn't sure I was going to do that any more. For a couple years I thought I was done with that. It wasn't really required of me.

I loved rap, especially in the early days. But I wasn't trying to shove it down anybody's throats.

By the late '80s, I was already giving up on rap music.

I started rapping before anybody had ever bought a car from it. It was truly about the art form and the culture, more so than now, where it's a successful way to make money. Back then you had to be doing it because you liked it.

I would say I started rapping because my friends were doin' it.

I've never been a rap guy, I don't really know that much about rap music, to be honest. I like it, but I think what really happened was just my music seems to work so well with rap music.

I've always been rapping before I was making money off of it. Before I made a profit, I had always been rapping.

When I was 13 years old, I was dressing in a rap style. And then I changed schools, and the rap style became old-fashioned, so I changed it completely.

I've been rapping since 1979.

I always felt that rap didn't cause crime; it just reflected it.
