Rap Quotes

I think there's a lot of, unfortunately, unfunny ventriloquists out there, so they've got a bad rap.

If you're going to point out the ridiculousness of a rule, it's naïve to think that you can break it. It's the same way that rappers have embraced capitalism. Some people say they liked it better when rap was a literal protest form in the '90s.
