As a rapper, I don't freestyle. I used to freestyle when I used to get drunk, and it didn't matter.

I'm a fan of making things that I've seen but couldn't purchase, or things I bought that didn't fit the way I like.

Those people online are analyzing everything both of you do. Andre, every new song you're on gets scrutinized.

Hip-hop don't have no fresh energy, none at all. It's money driven, everybody tryin' to make that cheque, nobody putting art in their albums any more.

When I'm shooting a film, I don't look at playback. I don't go and do a scene and then hurry up and watch what I just did. I never look at it so I haven't seen any of it.

With music, you can portray a certain thing, but in film, sometimes you have to let yourself go to a point where that can be attractive to a person, that you're willing to let yourself go that much. It works both ways.

I'm a thinker; I think too much. So for me to freestyle rap, it's like I'm thinking three, four time steps ahead, and I hate it.
