That last winter was a tragic story and I got no personal honour out of it but I was a witness to it.
Hip-hop is when you have crowd participation; when you chant at the audience and they chant back at you; when you wave your hands in the air like you just don't care; or some breakdancing. Everything today is just low-beat, real bass-y, bass-y, good rap records.
As an actor, you want as much variety as you can muster up. Otherwise you just keep playing the same chord over and over again.
