If you believe in it, that’s what makes it cool.” “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.” “It’s harder to be a success, globally, and be artistic. Harder to have that balance than just to be artistic when nobody understands you.” Money Andre 300 made recently! 2009: $8 million 2008: $6 million 2007: $8 million Awards and Accolades Grammy Awards:
