André 3000 is not against rapping for your whole life, but that’s not his story. In response to a recent interview in which LL Cool J said he doesn’t want to hear Dre play the flute, Three Stacks writes, “To me, I feel like if it’s in you…you should rap until you die. You should perform until you die.” He adds it’s not enough for him to rap if he can’t deliver it “in a fresh, innovative way.”
