More quotes by Andre Benjamin
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game, To stimulate, then activate the left and right brain. Said, 'Baby boy, you only funky as your last cut. You focus on the past, your ass'll be a has-what.' That's one to live by, or either that's one to die to.
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
Those people online are analyzing everything both of you do. Andre, every new song you're on gets scrutinized.
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
I think it's real important to show style now. The majority of style right now is to act like you don't have style at all, so most companies are getting rich off clothes that look torn, clothes that look worn.
Andre Benjamin
It's funny, I don't even consider myself a rapper, I don't consider myself a designer, or even an actor. I just like creating stuff and trying to make good work, whatever it is. I don't care if it's designing toothbrushes. It's just making cool stuff to leave behind, that's all it is, it's nothing more.
Andre Benjamin
I live by the beat like you live check to check. If you don't move your feet then I don't eat, So we like neck to neck.
Andre Benjamin
I rarely drink, I don't smoke, so my vice is probably creating. I'm addicted to creating. And women.
Andre Benjamin
Askin what happened to the feelin that her and me had, I pray so much about it, need some knee pads.
Andre Benjamin
Australia is about as far away as you can get. I like that.
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 had six silly tattoos done when I was young and I bitterly regret them. I've thought about laser surgery, but that leaves a scar, so I'm just leaving them.
Andre Benjamin
I don't freestyle, but when I'm writing and thinking, sometimes things pop up - that's basically a freestyle.
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
Everybody's got opinions on the way you're livin', But see, they can't fill your shoes.
Andre Benjamin
Everyone has an addiction, mine happens to be you.
Andre Benjamin
SAD, BUT ONE DAY OUR KIDS WILL HAVE TO VISIT MUSEUMS TO SEE WHAT A LADY LOOKS LIKE.
Andre Benjamin
You look in the mirror everyday and you see the same thing. As an entertainer, you wanna see something new.
Andre Benjamin
A lot of people think that you easily get roles because you do music. I mean, you could knock on the door faster than anybody, but it doesn't necessarily get you in.
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.
