Lil Wayne's original comment:
"I read a depressing quote or two from someone that I respect a lot in hip-hop and music period," Wayne said about André's quote. "They would ask, 'Why you ain't been doing music,' and they was like, 'Man what am I gonna talk about? I'm in my 40s, like what am I going to talk about? What you want to know about me being 40 and the life I'm living?'...I was like that's so depressing I have everything to talk about."
Wayne continued after mentioning staying in the game in order to stay relevant, "I thought that may be a downfall of me staying in it because you may at our age you may hear what's going on and feel I'm so out of that. I ain't bout to drop nothing," he said. "So that's why I say I don't listen. I just go in my little hole, I love what I do, put it out, and hopefully, we swing for the fences, man."
Andre 3000's response:
“Some are the best braggadocious rappers in the world, and we love them for that — but it’s so much easier to do that for the rest of your life. I don’t necessarily rap like that. Our formulas are different.”
3 Stacks continued to defend his stance while responding to an unnamed critic: “He doesn’t know what it takes for me to do what I do. I don’t know what it takes for him to say the same thing over and over again and still keep it creative. But I love him for doing it.”
