growing-up world want
I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.
getting-high crowds fans
You wouldn't take me to be a Skrillex fan, but honestly, when I'm at his shows, I get high and liquored up, and I just go in the crowd and start raving.
fashion design mind
I wouldn't mind collaborating with anybody, but I don't want to design anything, I'm not a fashion designer.
gold necklaces bracelet
I don't wear diamond necklaces. I'm not against it but I never could afford it, so now I just wear gold. I wear bracelets, rings, anklets.
real red-lipstick pairs
But for real, for me, I feel like with the red lipstick thing it all depends on the pair of complexion. I'm just being for real. You have to be fair skinned to get away with that.
gay rights gay-rights
I'm not a gay rights activist.
laughing potters harry-potter
I love 'Harry Potter' and JK Rowling - don't laugh at me!
inspiration people want
[I want to be] Something that really touched you - and as far as image and change goes, I just really want a lot of people to respect my music and treat me... [as] inspiration.
proud feels
I wanna make music that I feel proud of when I'm onstage, that I feel like I put my all into.
real names parent
My real name's Rakim - my parents named me after the god MC himself.
new-york eye giving
It bring a tear to my eye to see native New York people give me my props because New York is stubborn and arrogant.
clothes guy design
Ksubi' - the Australian jean brand, they're one of my favourite brands of just clothes and stuff, and the Swedish brand 'Acne', but other than that, not at this point in time designing. I wouldn't mind collab'n with those guys though.
school people albums
People don't make albums any more. It's always about singles. I wanted to take that old-school approach.
rap thinking artist
I really want to do the unexpected, and I think that's what I did when I executed 'Long.Live.A$AP.' I wanted people to really see the message and that I'm an artist who not only has the capability of rapping, but of composing great music both for people of my generation and for people with different backgrounds.
