I'm Not A Gay Rights Activist.

I Wanna Make Music That I Feel Proud Of When I'm Onstage, That I Feel Like I Put My All Into.

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.

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.

I Treat Everybody Equal, And So I Want To Be Sure That My Listeners And My Followers Do The Same If They're Gonna Represent Me. And If I'm Gonna Represent Them, Then I Also Want To Do It In A Good Way.

My Real Name's Rakim - My Parents Named Me After The God Mc Himself.
