Rap music is a genre of popular or pop music that is quite famous among youngsters these days and is one of the most widely known forms of music these days. It is known for its typical vocal technique and the colorful and wide variety of people involved in it. Rap can usually be seen being performed over a DJ, a beatbox, or generally with any musical equipment. It is said to have emerged along with hip-hop music itself.
Its roots are believed to have emerged from African-American street culture. In rap music, the lyrics are often not sung but spoken, and background music can vary from beatbox to any musical instrument. All that is required is a beat, sometimes not even that. Rap music has given birth to a lot of rappers whose music has a great influence on today’s younger generation. One such rapper is Tyquian Terrel Bowman. He goes by the stage name of Quando Rando.
We see, he is a 23-year-old rising American rapper from Georgia, US. He gained stardom after the release of a song called, ‘I remember.’ It also featured Lil Baby, another famous American rapper. Earlier in his career, he faced a lot of hardships, but he didn’t let them get in the way of him pursuing his dreams. Here are some of his best quotes if you feel like you could use some motivation in your life:
1. “Sometimes, you need your feelings hurt so that you can wake up and focus on you.” – Quando Rando
When you are truly into someone, you don’t focus much on yourself. And if you don’t focus on yourself, your mental health will deprive. But, if your feelings are hurt, you are more likely to focus on yourself than on the other person. So as Quando Rando says, one day, you need to get your feelings hurt so that you are awakened from putting the other person first and can focus on your own wellbeing first.
2. “I’m not like everyone else, so don’t compare me.” – Quando Rando
Everyone is different from each other in one way or another. Differences are important when it comes to society. And comparison just stifles growth and brings negativity. If you start comparing two people, it is obvious that you have to bring one person down to lift the other, which will bring the morale down of that person. So, never compare two people because everyone is unique in a way.
3. “Sometimes you just gotto chill and vibe alone.” – Quando Rando
It is usually said that if you want to go fast, you should go alone. If you are alone, you will be able to think properly, and it will give you a different perspective as well. So, to have a clear and carefree mind, all you have to do sometimes is spend some time with yourself, on yourself and just vibe alone.
4. “First they doubt you, then they want to be around you.” – Quando Rando
Early in your career, when you haven’t been established enough, many people are going to have doubts about your capabilities. But once you are successful, everybody wants to be around you; everybody wants to be your friend for whatever reason, be it to gain popularity for being around a celebrity or to be in your good books.
5. “Believe all of what you know and half of what you hear.” – Quando Rando
Events that transpire right in front of your eyes are way more believable than what you hear from others around you. What others say might not even be half true. So, it is better to fully believe what you witness with your own eyes and partially believe what others tell you and find out if it is true or not on your own.
6. “They don’t like you when you are at your lowest but love you when you are on the top.” – Quando Rando
It is often seen that people who have not yet made it big in their life are frowned upon by others, or in other words, don’t receive much love from society. But when the same people are on top, they start receiving a lot of love, praise, and approval from others.
7. “Always speak how you feel and never be sorry for being real.” – Quando Rando
At all times, no matter what the circumstances are, we should speak the truth about whatever is on our minds. And if you feel sorry for being real, then it is possible that you don’t like your own personality very much. And you should be your topmost priority. So, be yourself, and don’t be sorry for it.
8. “Stand on what you say.” – Quando Rando
We should mean what we say and always stand by our words. There are a lot of reasons behind it, as it builds your respect and helps you gain confidence. And another thing to keep in mind is to not doubt yourself or what you said. If you give the word, stand by it, and if you promise something, fulfill it.
9. “I guess I’m color blind to their true colors.” – Quando Rando
Everyone has had at least one experience in which they couldn’t see somebody’s true colors at first, or in other words, were blind to them. It is easy to fall for someone’s words and believe them when they say how good of a person they are. But in reality, they might be saying that just to take advantage of you later. In today’s world of two-faced people, it is important for us not to trust anyone too easily.
10. “They don’t like you, but they still find the time to watch everything you do.” – Quando Rando
People might not like you, but they carefully watch every step that you take. There are a lot of psychological reasons behind it. They might do it so that it is easier for them to watch you as you take a tumble along your way. In that case, it is important for you to always put a smiling face on whenever you face a hurdle so that such negative people don’t find the chance to watch you lag and laugh at it.
11. “If losing me doesn’t bother you, then you were never real, to begin with.” – Quando Rando
There comes a point in life when there are a lot of people around you who claim to be your well-wishers and say that they always hope for the best for you. But when you lose touch with them and they don’t make any effort to reconnect, that’s when you know that all of that was just a lie and they weren’t reliable from the very beginning.
12. “I’m not worried about y’all. I’m on my own path.” – Quando Rando
As said earlier, we should be our own topmost priority. If we worry about others’ life, then we will be distracted and won’t be able to put focus on our own life. Its yourself who you need to find the right track for, not anybody else. It helps you get a clear view of your path to accomplishment. There are a lot of people in this world who aren’t able to make it in life because they are too busy taking care of others’ business.
It’s okay if you want to help someone but don’t get too involved, or it will become a negative habit and will be detrimental to your own future.
13. “I don’t have time for fake friends anymore; either be real or be gone.” – Quando Rando
There are a lot of definitions of fake friends. They might be someone who makes you want to not be yourself when you are with them, or they might be someone who ignores you or turns into a completely different person when someone else is present. In any case, they should be avoided. The best thing to do is distance yourself from them. So, either has real friends who actually care or don’t.
14. “I swear to God I walked a thousand miles, and when I look back, I ain’t seen them.” – Quando Rando
There are going to be a lot of people who will make you believe that they will be there for you at every step you take. But the truth is no one really stays. You have a long way to go ahead in your life. You will make a decision that might not be the same as theirs. And eventually, your paths will diverge.
15. “I can’t blame you for who you are. I can only blame myself for thinking you were who you said you were….” – Quando Rando
Never take someone for who they say they are. If someone keeps praising themselves in front of you, chances are that they might be lying. No one really shows their true colors in the beginning, and they show them later. So, it is better not to make a fake image of them in your mind so that you don’t get hurt later, and then you will end up blaming yourself for believing them so quickly.
