Do you think Lil Wayne is the last of a dying breed when it comes to music?
According to the rapper, himself as well as Beyoncé and Kanye West
are “the last of a dying breed”. In an interview with Nylon magazine
(which he lands the cover), he talks about his upcoming album, rapping
and much more.
On rapping: When I
first started doing it, you only did it to be the best— not to have a
hot song or popularity or for Instagram or Twitter. I’m one of the last
of a dying breed…the ones who are only about the music. You have to want
to be unforgettable. The only other people who I can think of like that
are Kanye
West and Beyoncé.
On his process: I’m
just a regular street n____ that’s a little smarter than the rest. I rap
whatever comes up in my head. Whatever rhymes with the next word and
how I’m feeling. I start rapping and we find something within what I
just said and make a song out of it.
On weed: I don’t know how it works, but I know that I need weed…extra when I’m creating. It helps in a major way.
For more on his interview pick up the December/January issue of Nylon magazine.
