I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.

I'll always love rap, no matter what's going on.

I am obsessed with rap music - it's such a big part of my life.

I don't only like rap music. There's everything from R&B to crazy gangster rap, hip hop... everything! But it all blends together nicely. It's like a magical music rainbow.

I'm not really into rap.

I love rap because it talks about pain that comes authentically from the ghetto. It moves me.

I really love rap music. I grew up in the '80s and '90s with Public Enemy, N.W.A., LL Cool J - I'm a hip-hop encyclopedia. But I got kind of frustrated with the chauvinistic side of rap music, the one that makes it hard to write songs about love and relationships.

Rap for me is like making movies, telling stories, and getting the emotions of the songs through in just as deep a way.

Rap is only one end of a whole spectrum of verbal play and virtuosity. Rap is geared for aural pleasure.
