Why do you Rap???? [rappers answer]

Tell everyone here why you do what you do. This is an important question, because if you cant answer then that means you do it for no reason and you music will reflect so.

I rap because I enjoy creating good music and because its the best way for me to express how I feel

I rap because music is a way for me to express myself, I also do it to see the look on peoples face wen they know and love your music......

I create music to reach the people and inform them of the ills, as well as the highs of life, to show them that you can be yoself and not the "image" they portray on TV! music is all about expression and individuality. So i make music to express who i am as a individual! And to say slick sh*t to make niggas jaws drop!

IT ALL STARTED THE DAY HIS FATHER, Sulaiman "ZAHIR" Salaam JR., FINALLY LET HIM GET ON STAGE WITH HIM AT ONE OF HIS CONCERTS. SULI INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH MUSIC. HE NEVER WAS SHY AND ALWAYS LOVED BEING THE CENTER OF ATTENTION IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS. AS HE GOT OLDER HIS DAD LET HIM LAY DOWN A VERSE ON HIS SONG "MAD SKILLS" IT WAS HIS FIRST RECORDING EXPERIENCE AND IT TOOK A HOLD ON HIM. HIS FATHER WAS A PERFECTIONIST, AND SULI ONLY 9 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, HATED HIS FIRST RECORDING EXPERIENCE WITH A PASSION. WHILE LIFE WAS GOING ON, HE DEVELOPED HIS WRITING SKILLS FROM TAKING A LOT OF STRESS OUT ON PAPER. THOUGH HE TRIED SO HARD NOT TO HE SEEMED TO GET HIMSELF IN BAD SITUATIONS, WHICH ONLY MADE HIM SMARTER. HE BECAME A "THINKER" ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE LIKED THAT ABOUT HIM, THAT WAS THE VERY THING THAT SOME PEOPLE HATED ABOUT HIM. LIFE WAS BEGINNING TO BECOME A LOT BETTER FOR HIM. HE BEGAN TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE OF EVERYTHING, AND EVEN THOUGH ALOT WAS GOING ON AROUND HIM HE ALWAYS MANAGED TO STAY LEVEL HEADED. HE GOT INTO SOMETHINGS HE HAD NO BUSINESS GETTING INTO AT TIMES. BUT HIS CONSCIENCE ALWAYS PUT HIM BACK IN HIS PLACE. HE ALWAYS SAY'S WHATEVER WRONG HE DID IN HIS LIFE HE WOULD MAKE SURE IT WAS KNOWN THAT HE KNEW IT WAS WRONG AND HE TRIES HIS BEST NOT TO EVER MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES TWICE. IN HIS EYES THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI IS THE HARDEST PLACE TO STAY FOCUSED IN. "THE TOWN" IS FILLED WITH GANGS, AND A PLACE WERE MOST MEN ( INCUDING SULI ) WOULD DIE FOR RESPECT, BUT SULI NEVER GOT CAUGHT UP IN GANGS, HE FEELS LIKE YOU CAN'T TRUST PEOPLE TO HAVE YOUR BACK- YOU CAN ONLY TRUST THAT YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER WAT THEY DO. SO LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE MUSIC THAT COMES FROM THIS YOUNG MAN KNOWN AS "SULI". Sulaiman Zahir Salaam III, AS HE TAKES HIS STEPS TOWARD SUCCESS.

HE HAS RECENTLY COMPLETED HIS FIRST "S.E GUILTY CONSCIENCE" AND IS GIVING IT AWAY AS A FREE DOWNLOAD FOR A LIMITED TIME!!!

yeah.. This is the only thing I know. I don't mess with a 9-5. I do this for a stress release and because it's a better way for me to get my point across of what I'm trying to get at. Music is my life. I know it sounds cliche but it's literally all I got..! If I don't do this music, I don't eat. I've lost a lot because of my music, but I choose to keep at it cause it's apart of me.! Thats why I rap.

Bc I was given a gift and a calling to help people with words.

i rap because i cant breath if i dont let dis DOPE fall out my mouth!!!!!!!

I rap because I like to express myself to music and I feel my music can have an impact on others and ppl will b able to relate to my music
