What are some quotes about rap music, and how does rap music influence Ishamel's life?

“My conception of New York City came from rap music. I envisioned it as a place where people shot each other on the street and got away with it; no one walked on the streets, rather people drove in their sports cars looking for nightclubs and for violence.”

"I used to listen to rap music a lot before the war and loved it because of its poetic use of words."
