As an artist, it's so important to create music that puts a chill through your body or does something to make you feel good. I think my album has a little bit of everything in it and that's important to me.
RaekwonThe better you get, the more your legacy shines. I always just try to go hard. If you don't want do it for real, don't do it at all.
RaekwonYou know the steez; you know my whole program. Brothers from the No-Lands, all we want is the G's guns and grams.
RaekwonBefore I think we was emcees, we was more or less narrators too. Because if you look at the early '80s hip hop, it was so much creativity goin' on with artists like then, like Slick Rick, then you had Rakim, and you had these different kind of artists back then. And we was a marble cake of all these artists. So I didn't have a problem with writin' stories because I felt like that was somethin' I loved to do. Even to this day, I really consider myself an entertainer-slash-narrator. I like to talk about stuff that goes on.
