Hip-Hop Quotes (page 4)

I'm trying to open up my range and really sing more. With The Fugees initially, and even with 'Miseducation,' it was very hip-hop - always a singing over beats. I don't think people have really heard me sing out. So if I do record again, perhaps it will have an expanded context. Where people can hear a bit more. Lauryn Hill
Sean Paul quote: "My flow follows sometimes what's going on in the hip-hop..."

Sean Paul quote: "Dancehall is just like hip-hop in that it doesn't always talk..."
Dancehall is just like hip-hop in that it doesn't always talk about bling; it talks about conscious issues. Sean Paul
My opinion is that music is music. As long as you approach doing a remix with truth, I don't see the dance remixes being any different than an hip-hop remix- it's really a different version of the song. Deborah Cox
Saul Williams quote: "What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the..."
What's wrong with hip-hop is the system that controls the definition of it. There needs to be more balance on the airwaves. Saul Williams
The only reason I've been so critical of hip-hop is because I've always been aware of the effect that it has, and the reflection that it gives of the African-American community. Saul Williams
I did a couple songs with this hip-hop guy named Tim Dark. He was working in the same studio I've been working in, he heard my music and he said, aw man, I've got to do something with you. Alan Vega
Mario Vazquez quote: "I love the sounds of Latin jazz, R&B, hip-hop, alternative,..."
I love the sounds of Latin jazz, R&B, hip-hop, alternative, all that stuff. I'm a radio kid. Mario Vazquez
I consider music to be storytelling, melody and rhythm. A lot of hip-hop has broken music down. There are no instruments and no songwriting. So you're left with just storytelling and rhythm. And the storytelling can be so braggadocious, you're just left with rhythm. Jack White
I can put a hip-hop beat to reggae. That is, I can have real reggae in the drums and in the rhythm, and on top of it I can put The Rolling Stones' feeling, anyone's feeling on top. Nobody has ever done this before, man. Ike Turner
A certain administration which I won't call by name took the arts out of the schools, and that left the brothers out on the street with nothing, so they went to the turntables and started rhyming. Then they had a way to express themselves, and that's the birth of hip-hop. Isaac Hayes
The thing about hip-hop today is it's smart, it's insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable. Barack Obama

My brother's been producing rap music and hip-hop for maybe 10 years. Tina Yothers
