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.

More quotes by Andre Benjamin
What's cooler than bein' cool?
Andre Benjamin
Your white tee, well to me, looks like a nightgown Make your mama proud, take that thing two sizes down.
Andre Benjamin
I just try things. And the things I like, sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't. You can look at pictures where I just look terrible. But the older I get, the more I know what works. It's for the better.
Andre Benjamin
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.
Andre Benjamin
I said, 'What you wanna be?' She said, 'Alive.' It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes ...I coulda died.
Andre Benjamin
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.
Andre Benjamin
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.
Andre Benjamin
I think a lot of African-American kids don't have fathers to teach them how to dress, so you end up being taught by pictures in magazine and movies. You see cowboys, Indians, old Hollywood films, Cary Grant. It has an effect on you.
Andre Benjamin
They can bite, but cannot be us, They can come and pick up little slang but cannot see us, You ought to be ashamed trying to fit in my adidas, So Run like DMC like you don't know you got no heater
Andre Benjamin
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.
Andre Benjamin
If you look at old football pictures, the jerseys were hanging, the sleeves were dangling, but now everything is tucked and tailored.
Andre Benjamin
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
Andre Benjamin
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.
Andre Benjamin
To be honest, I don't necessarily think you have to be an actor to act. You don't have to be a musician to make great music. If it comes along and you put your all into it, the outcome is what's important.
Andre Benjamin
I don't freestyle, but when I'm writing and thinking, sometimes things pop up - that's basically a freestyle.
Andre Benjamin
Look at Scottish guys wearing kilts - you could look at them and laugh, but the way they carry themselves, how can you? You can wear some of the weirdest things and be cool. If you believe in it, that's what makes it cool.
Andre Benjamin
As a rapper, your verses are like a window in to who you are.
Andre Benjamin
It's harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.
Andre Benjamin
Everyone has an addiction, mine happens to be you.
Andre Benjamin
You download it for free, we get charged back for it. I know you're saying, They won't know, they won't miss it, Besides, I ain't a thief, they won't pay me a visit. So, if I come to your job, take your corn on the cob, And take a couple kernels off it, that would be alright with you?
Andre Benjamin
