More quotes by Andre Benjamin
As a rapper, your verses are like a window in to who you are.
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'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 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
I don't freestyle, but when I'm writing and thinking, sometimes things pop up - that's basically a freestyle.
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 rarely drink, I don't smoke, so my vice is probably creating. I'm addicted to creating. And women.
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
I don't mind opinions, because you like something or you don't like something, but to say things about your personal life? I'm like, Man, let me quit reading this. 'Cause I'll stab everybody.
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
If models are made for modeling, thick girls are made for cuddling.
Andre Benjamin
Those people online are analyzing everything both of you do. Andre, every new song you're on gets scrutinized.
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 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 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
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
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, I don't freestyle. I used to freestyle when I used to get drunk, and it didn't matter.
Andre Benjamin
Sometimes nostalgia is a cage.
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?
