Continuing a bit on this, do you think this is how he saw himself in ’93?
Do you see yourself an actor? A rapper? Both?
I’m an entertainer, so in whatever form I entertain…The thing about being a rapper is that you have more control over your form, whereas with acting you have to compromise a lot. You can’t go in there with the same mentality of “I’m a f—— star. This is all about me.” No, it’s not about you! You start stripping those layers away and becoming whatever that character is supposed to be and identifying with it.
