So for me, fashion was about standing out as an individual - and it helped me get the attention that most people try to get with publicity stunts or by doing other crazy things. But I just let the attention come to me naturally, and I think some of that has to do with my fashion.

For instance, one big issue in hip hop is the gay thing. It's 2013, and it's a shame that, to this day, that topic still gets people all excited. It's crazy. And it makes me upset that this topic even matters when it comes to hip hop, because it makes it seem like everybody in hip hop is small-minded or stupid - and that's not the case.

I don't like new cars; I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video.
-
I don't want people to get the impression that I got money and now I'm cocky, because I'm not. I'm just a little overly confident.
-
Sometimes I forget that I'm supposed to keep people entertained because I'm just making music for my lifestyle and for my people who live my lifestyle. We forget that there's a world waiting on us.
-
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.
-
On 'Phoenix,' I talk about thoughts of suicide and my whole life. It's called 'Phoenix' because it's talking about dying - but when a phoenix dies, it's reborn from its own ashes. I related to that.

I'm the CEO of A$AP Worldwide. But as you can see, when I'm with them, everybody's equal. We don't really base our love off of finances or who's superior by financial status. We're all equal. When I'm with them, I'm letting them shine 'cause it's just like how it used to be. They still there. I'm just chilling out front.

I don't cook, 'cause I don't know how to cook.

Young boy, let his gun bang, let his nuts hang Transition to a Lamborghini from a Mustang Drugs slang in the drug game with the hustling (I know one thing) Anything is better than that 1 train.
-
I thought highly of myself growing up. I still do. There's not really much somebody can say to me to bring down my confidence or anything.
-
Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.
-
I wouldn't mind collaborating with anybody, but I don't want to design anything, I'm not a fashion designer.
-
I'm not a gay rights activist.
-
My real name's Rakim - my parents named me after the god MC himself.
-
I strive for perfection, but Im not perfect. But what I can say is my morals are totally different than any other 24-year-old rapper my age now. I look at life totally different. A whole other aspect. I have different views and morals on life in general. And opinions.
-
Who people like is their own business. It don't concern me. I know what I do - and I'm having a lot of fun with the women that I'm with.
-
Purple lipstick? Naw, that looks stupid on all girls!
-
When Big Meech and everybody got indicted, hustling died. Keep it trill.

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.
-
I represent the kids who come from nothing but who understand it all and love it all. That's what I represent - those are the cool kids, you know, the kids of tomorrow, because who would've known that I'd be who I am today? We are the kids of tomorrow.
-
I wanted to appeal to people who've never really listened to hip-hop or really given it a chance before. I've also tried to incorporate all my favorite lifestyle things in the music. Of course, 'Fashion Killa' is one of peoples' favorites because it just expresses how much I like fashion.
-
I don't care what straight people do, I don't care what gay people do. I don't care what nobody do. That's they business. I just care about what I do. You know what I'm saying?

All of the young people - the artsy people, people who get overlooked because they're weird or they don't have hype around them - need to get some shine.
