80s Hip Hop quotes by Raquel Cepeda
Trapped on a planet of pain and perpetrators
That you call 'Earth,' but I call 'Hell's Equator.' ~ MF Grimm
80s Hip Hop quotes by MF Grimm
What I value most in new music is strangeness, oddity. Passion. And humor. I listen to a lot of hip-hop because it combines so many things like that. ~ Carrie Brownstein
80s Hip Hop quotes by Carrie Brownstein
Hip-Hop is my vehicle to scientific and universal enlightenment ~ GZA
80s Hip Hop quotes by GZA
No surprises" is the motto of the franchise ghetto, its Good Housekeeping seal, subliminally blazoned on every sign and logo that make up the curves and grids of light that outline the Basin. The people of America, who live in the world's most surprising and terrible country, take comfort in that motto. Follow the loglo outward, to where the growth is enfolded into the valleys and the canyons, and you find the land of the refugees. They have fled from the true America, the America of atomic bombs, scalpings, hip-hop, chaos theory, cement overshoes, snake handlers, spree killers, space walks, buffalo jumps, drive-bys, cruise missiles, Sherman's March, gridlock, motorcycle gangs, and bun-gee jumping. They have parallel-parked their bimbo boxes in identical computer-designed Burbclave street patterns and secreted themselves in symmetrical sheetrock shitholes with vinyl floors and ill-fitting woodwork and no sidewalks, vast house farms out in the loglo wilderness, a culture medium for a medium culture. The only ones left in the city are street people, feeding off debris; immigrants, thrown out like shrapnel from the destruction of the Asian powers; young bohos; and the technomedia priesthood of Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong. Young smart people like Da5id and Hiro, who take the risk of living in the city because they like stimulation and they know they can handle it. ~ Neal Stephenson
80s Hip Hop quotes by Neal Stephenson
Once I slapped a rapper with mace,
Then I spit acid in his face, after he rinsed his eyes, no wait ...
I actually grew five times my size, grabbed Ma$e by the thigh and slapped a rapper with him. ~ Pharoahe Monch
80s Hip Hop quotes by Pharoahe Monch
And y'all scared I can tell
That I'mma get Bucks like Milwaukee, cause like Sam, I ca' sell. ~ Jadakiss
80s Hip Hop quotes by Jadakiss
The Great White Male is rap's Grand Inquisitor, its idiot questioner, its Alien Other no less than Reds were for McCarthy. ~ David Foster Wallace
80s Hip Hop quotes by David Foster Wallace
Ayo, shout out to Mobb Deep, the Extra P
Busta Rhymes, De La, the J Beez, so don't sleep ~ Q-Tip
80s Hip Hop quotes by Q-Tip
We speak the love language, they speak from pain and anguish.
Some don't love theyselves, so they perception is tainted. ~ Talib Kweli
80s Hip Hop quotes by Talib Kweli
Damn it feels good to see people up on it. ~ Biz Markie

Hip Hop will always have a lane of its own, for those that appreciate the culture. ~ Iceberg Slim

As minorities, it is always our dream to merge our cultures and showcase to the world the talent that comes from both Latin music and Hip-Hop, .. I hope that together,we can create a new cultural movement that unites these audiences. ~ Emilio Estefan
80s Hip Hop quotes by Emilio Estefan
Rap is a gimmick, but I'm for the hip-hop, the culture. ~ Method Man
80s Hip Hop quotes by Method Man
Being materialistic is part of the hip-hop community's nature, because jazz and blues and rock 'n' roll, when they started out in the urban communities, were about the American Dream, and the lack of opportunity in that structure. So they talked about everything - uplifting and getting what is perceived as success in America. ~ Russell Simmons
80s Hip Hop quotes by Russell Simmons
Feed me hip-hop and I start tremblin' ~ Rakim
80s Hip Hop quotes by Rakim
Hip-hop definitely taught me a lot. Having to create your own identity and become known and respected in a male-dominated field - it requires some guts. There are times you have to be strong, and times when you have to stand alone for what you believe in. ~ Queen Latifah
80s Hip Hop quotes by Queen Latifah
I relieve rappers just like Tylenol ~ Big Daddy Kane
80s Hip Hop quotes by Big Daddy Kane
There'll be ups and downs, smiles and frowns. ~ Snoop Dogg
80s Hip Hop quotes by Snoop Dogg
I was a producer and rapper before Linkin Park. Once the band took off, it was the center of my focus. A couple of years ago, I started missing doing straight-up hip hop, and that's when Fort Minor began. ~ Mike Shinoda
80s Hip Hop quotes by Mike Shinoda
Hip hop culture has done more for race relations in American than anything since Martin Luther King. And I really believe that. ~ Steve Stoute
80s Hip Hop quotes by Steve Stoute

Hip-hop in the '90s began moving towards the Nation of Islam and the 5 Percenters, black nationalist movements; very much so, these movements embraced a form of Islam: Malcom X's form of Islam prior to his change. ~ Maajid Nawaz
80s Hip Hop quotes by Maajid Nawaz
Most people have a blank slate and can start from nothing. But for me, I had to break a bad habit that I've been doing all of my life, which is freestyle hip-hop. ~ Roshon Fegan
80s Hip Hop quotes by Roshon Fegan
Pharrell Williams: '[Tommy Lee] is a great drummer with a lot of style. He keeps his chops up in terms of technique and his style in drumming; his chops are very sharp. Also, 'Pour Some sugar on Me' can be played in the middle of any hip-hop party. I love that.'

Man, that's awesome that Pharrell paid respect. I've always loved his shit, ever since 'When Doves Cry'. Oh, wait, my bad. Pharrell is that producer guy from Atlanta who dates Janet Jackson. The little guy, right? Discovered Kris Kross. Nice. Thanks, bro. ~ Tommy Lee
80s Hip Hop quotes by Tommy Lee
It's just hypocrisy on hip-hop's part to cry racial profiling when your race is on TV acting like fools. ~ KRS-One
80s Hip Hop quotes by KRS-One
Bend over to the front touch toes
Back dat ass up and down and get low (get low) ~ Lil Jon
80s Hip Hop quotes by Lil Jon
I come from a young, hip-hop, urban world. ~ Brandon T. Jackson
80s Hip Hop quotes by Brandon T. Jackson
I don't love all hip-hop, but I do relate to stuff like early Nas, 2Pac, Biggie, and MF Doom because they're also trying to escape a scenario. ~ Lykke Li
80s Hip Hop quotes by Lykke Li
We ain't speak, clicking heat is our Morse code. ~ Ka
80s Hip Hop quotes by Ka
I do think that some bands seem to be dabbling in the rock-hip-hop world and are not necessarily serious about it. ~ Fred Durst
80s Hip Hop quotes by Fred Durst
I grew up with synthesizers and weird, spacey music-hip-hop, R&B, modern rock-that I heard on the radio. That's influenced the way I play music. It's natural for me to go with what I feel. If I didn't let that other stuff out and stuck to a certain format, I would feel like I was missing out on something. I'm just enjoying my ride and being who I am. ~ Gary Clark, Jr.
80s Hip Hop quotes by Gary Clark, Jr.
Fitzgerald coined the phrase the 'Jazz Age,' and now we're living in the Hip-Hop Age. ~ Baz Luhrmann

Our freedom of speech is freedom or death,
We got to fight the powers that be! ~ Chuck D
80s Hip Hop quotes by Chuck D
Hip-Hop's cultural movement is much larger than the corporate representation. The images most of hip-hop's critics point to are those manufactured by major corporations whether on television, via Viacom, or on the radio, via Radio One and Clear Channel. ~ Bakari Kitwana
