The rap game has to save itself. Everybody's saving it. People like Lil Wayne is saving it. He's bringing energy to it.
Those people online are analyzing everything both of you do. Andre, every new song you're on gets scrutinized.
People see you on screen and they like you, but they never really get a chance to meet you. When you're doing music, you know you have to go sit at in-stores, and you're actually in the street, so there's more of a hands-on kind of thing.
Cool is not just one type of cool. Cool is confidence and knowing, i guess, what you are and being fine with it. Some people can be what people call “nerds” and they're cool because they know they're needs. They know what they are and they're so confident in knowing what they are that that makes them cool, and somebody aspires to be like them because they're fine with it. it's confidence, you know.
I'm an only child, so when I've got a lot of people around me I'm uncomfortable and don't like a lot of attention,
I stopped touring a year and a half ago, ... I just got dead with it.
But he says in music ?you start from scratch.
It's terrible to get those comments, ... but at the same time, I am not 17 anymore. I have put in my time, and if you want to hear hard-core hip hop or rhyming, go back to the earlier albums. I can't pretend that I am in the same place I was when I was 17, 18 years old.
I'm a vegan, but I like to look good, too.
As a rapper, I don't freestyle. I used to freestyle when I used to get drunk, and it didn't matter.
Askin what happened to the feelin that her and me had, I pray so much about it, need some knee pads.
Now, my oral illustration be like clitoral stimulation to the female gender Ain't nothin' better Let me know when it's wet enough to enter
Australia is about as far away as you can get. I like that.
What's cooler than being cool?
