As many of you know, Lil Wayne
was voted #1 on MTV’s list and was crowned “The Hottest MC in the
Game.” Weezy F. Baby recently spoke up about a variety of
issues including the new title he’s received.
On The List: “I saw the preview [of the show], and if I’m lying, I’m
flying: I was like, ‘Who won?’ … I’m glad I won. Yaaa dig! Don’t stop
believing in me. They say I’m the Hottest MC in the Game. If you label me that,
I will live up to it. Trust me,” he told MTV.
On working with Kanye West: The session was mostly
like [West] playing a piece for me, giving these ideas and stuff. He gets here,
plays one, tells me the idea for that one. Then it’ll be about a few minutes
later, then to another one. That’s really a session with him. I just gathered
all the music and went back to my cave and done what I have to do to it.
On his compositions: Nah, I’d be … on another different level to be
composing anything in my head right now. So I just go in there and make a song
up. If I have a concept for something, it’s much easier. But I go in there …
[with] just a little beat; [I start thinking,] “What go to that?” I
like to make it up right there. Nobody standing behind the mic, everybody just
wondering what I’m thinking about. I say, “I’m ready.” Then I’ll say,
“Four more bars, stop … all right, I’m ready…Now, on mixtapes, I just
kill that sh–. … I say whatever comes to mind. That ain’t freestyle … ’cause
freestyling is dumb to me. Not the battling they do on DVDs and stuff, they be
rapping for real.
On longevity: I don’t know what they’re gonna do when the [next] album
drops. Y’all probably gonna say, “Everybody else, stop rapping.” I
told y’all a long time ago and y’all just started hearing what I’m saying.
Y’all was always hearing me, but y’all wasn’t listening. Now y’all listening. I
been saying I was the best [since] I was 14. I knew I was the best; I probably
wasn’t at that time — but I knew. I’m 24. What were you doing at 24? Me, I’m 12
years in.
On his various appearances: I done became a little virus now, ’cause
everybody be having me on their song. I was just about to be on [T.I. vs.
T.I.P.]. I wanted to be on it bad, and they pulled me, ’cause I guess I be on
everything. But hey, if you make everything you do great, like I do … no lie,
man. It’s like, “You want Michael Jordan on your team?” “Hell
yeah! Yeah, I want him on my team, stupid.” That’s how I look at it. That’s
why I do everything. Now the only problem I get is people calling me saying,
“Universal don’t wanna clear it.” And [the record company] and I do
everything.
