Famous quotes containing the words rap and/or artist:
“The myth of black women profiting at the expense of black men is the oldest rap around.”

“If we pretend to respect the artist at all, we must allow him his freedom of choice, in the face, in particular cases, of innumerable presumptions that the choice will not fructify. Art derives a considerable part of its beneficial exercise from flying in the face of presumptions.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
