1. You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it’s kind of a lifestyle and it’s easy to get caught up in it – you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone’s doing a certain thing… It’s tough.– Eminem

2. I don’t dislike rappers or hip-hop or people who like it. I went to the Def Jam tour in Manchester in the ’80s when rap was inspirational. Public Enemy were awesome. But it’s all about status and bling now, and it doesn’t say anything to me. – Noel
3. Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren’t really about anything – which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things. – J cole
4. I don’t consider myself an A-list celebrity or a big dog, but every time I meet somebody, even rappers who’ve been in the game for years… they’re like, ‘Man, I’m trying to get on your level.’ – Wiz Khalifa
5. I think swag is very important to rappers. It’s the overall appearance and style of an artist – these blue shorts and this blue hat and this $80,000 chain, this jewelry and all these tattoos, that’s swag. – Soulja boy
6. Rappers aren’t the really rich ones. We all have nice houses with studios and cars, but you need a piece of someone’s business to be super wealthy. – Drake
7.I would suggest that teachers show their students concrete examples of the negative effects of the actions that gangsta rappers glorify. – Kareem Abdul
