The rap game has to save itself. Everybody's saving it. People like Lil Wayne is saving it. He's bringing energy to 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 don't freestyle, but when I'm writing and thinking, sometimes things pop up - that's basically a freestyle.

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

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.

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.

But I am a lover of all kinds of art. And I just can't stick to one thing. I guess I could if I made myself, but I'd always be looking the other way, for other things.
