R.A. the Rugged Man: I think it’s an important thing as an artist where when you listen to their music you can kind of feel who the person is through the music. When you put out material and it sounds like a generic ass song, you don’t have a long shelf life if you’re that artist. That’s why even today, you can relate to someone like Marvin Gaye or Bob Marley. People know the personality of the person by just listening to the music. Listen to Wise Intelligent from the Poor Righteous Teachers. You know who he is just by listening to the music.
Look at Drake. I’m not a Drake fan; I don’t like his lyrics. But he’s that sensitive, girlie type of dude. I understand who he is, and that’s why he has his fans. Even though my people ain’t his fans, he gets his fans because you understand who this fukkin’ Drake guy is by listening to his music. He might not be a person who we relate to, but the little sensitive people might relate to that.
On Kanye West....
"Kanye step your bars up, there's good rappers out there, real legitimate rappers out there that can rap but that's what we get to see"
"Rhymefest writes all of Kanye's rhymes"
"Kanye became the world's biggest hypocrite"
