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've been rapping since 1979.

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

I've been rapping since I was 13.

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 started rapping because I wanted people to hear what I have to say, I want as many people to hear me as possible, and I do everything in my power to make that pop.

I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.

I started rapping because my mom died when I was about 11 years old, and I was a very rebellious kid. I've been kicked out of every school I've ever been in since 6th grade on, expelled and dropped out in the 11th grade. Music was the only thing that I could really use to express myself, so I started rapping.

I started by producing, and the rapping came second to that, because I wanted to fill out the beat.

I'm a singer and a writer first. I started to rap by accident, being playful.
