David Banner
“One of the great things about rap music... it leaves a lot to be desired, as far as I'm concerned, musically, but I do recognize the very important place that it has in music and in creating role models for younger kids to emulate, giving them the dream that they can make it out of whatever situation they're in.”
Graham Nash
“I hate rap music, which to me sounds like a bunch of angry men shouting, possibly because the person who was supposed to provide them with a melody never showed up”
Dave Barry
“Once you object to alcohol and gambling, then you can raise questions about the violence in Rap music, defense contractors and environmental issues,”
Joel Isaacson
“The most violent rap music is the most popular music. You can't remove it from the clubs. It (Anthony's proposal) is more of a political platform because nobody has really been talking about it until the events on February 1 so I think this too shall pass.”
Andreas Hale
“I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.”
Nina Simone
“I love rap music. I used to love that rapper from the '60s - Bob Marley.”
