1. Tip Harris aka T.I.
“I care about making the best albums.
Rapping? That’s like asking a football
player, does he care about running? A
basketball player, does he care about
dunking? It’s something you do in the
process of. You have to know how to rap
very, very good to be able to make a great
song, which will enable you to become
prolific.”
