Lil Wayne Explains Love Of Skateboarding, Says “Music Is In Trouble”

    In the past year, one of Lil Wayne’s most publicized past times has been skateboarding.

    In the second webisode of his Mountain Dew series “DEWeezy,” Lil Wayne spoke on the hobby, and how it is a private experience for him.

    “You can ask anyone around here,” said Wayne. “Does Wayne let anyone come to skate with him? They’ll tell you ‘No.'”

    Wayne continued, explaining his drive to master the art of skateboarding. “I don’t know. It’s just something about conquering the whole idea of something difficult as riding a skateboard.”

    “That’s what so great about skating to me. It’s about challenge,” added Wayne, who injured himself earlier this year skating. “It’s about a physical challenge and mental. It’s about a challenge in front of you that you actually say to yourself, ‘This can’t be done. It can’t be done by me.'”

    “I really found a second love. And music is in trouble. Because I’m in love with this skateboarding shit.”

    1. THIS IS WHY LIL WAYNE IS THE BEST! HE IS A RAP GOD, GUITAR HERO, REAL BLOOD NIGGA AND A PRO SKATER! BEST RAPPER, BEST GUITARIST, BEST GANG MEMBER, BEST SKATER AND SEXIEST MAN OF ALL-TIME!

      1. YES THATS RIGHT, I SAID HES THE SEXIEST MAN OF ALL TIME & I WOULD DEFINITELY LET HIM RIP MY RECTUM AND SPRAY ME WITH THAT WEEZY JUICE!!!

      2. just as Tiffany implied I’m stunned that some one able to get paid $5098 in one month on the computer. have you seen this web link NuttyRichdotc0m

    2. YESSIR, just by that comment alone shows how little you know about music and not only that it shows your age.

      Lil Wayne is pathetic. His group is pathetic.

      You should be offended as to the garbage that man has made in the past 4 years. He puts little effort into his work now only because in his mind he knows that whatever he puts out will sell….it doesnt matter if its crap to him because he knows he has people on his sack.

      It’s time for him to kick rocks….dude sucks

      1. did an article about about a man finding a new passion really warrant such a resentment and vitriol? sometimes i think niggas real lives must be in the shitter. you are so wound up my nigga. why such an harmless article provoke such an angry reaction? re evaluate your life my nigga you are the one who is looking pathetic.

      2. @RANDY if you would have comprehended what you read from his post you would know that YESSIR is the reason for his resentful post.

    3. STAY WITH THAT FUCKIN’ SKATEBOARD!!!!! We don’t want you back. We didin’t want you in the first place, so just stay away FOR GOOD!

    9. Lil Wayne is my hero, role model, idol. he is a hip hop god, hip hop legend, music icon. he can play on guitar, he is a professional skater and hos words make me cry. I will miss his amazing music. hip hop will be a bad place without him. gonna miss you Weezy. swag

    10. I do find his childish infatuation with skateboarding quite sweet. It’s like he’s regressing or something…awwww. Lil’ Wayne just zipping around on his skateboard upsetting the neighbours, building little ramps on his street and what not.. next he’ll be declaring his love for Justin Bieber.

    11. I like some of the music he puts out and alot of his old shit, and just to clarify, pop music, stands for popular music. I would say that lil watne music is popular, which means alot of folks listen to it. I’m not here to hate or debate this shit. I’m just saying we all have our reason for what we don’t like, but take it easy haha. Some of yall talk straight filthy about this nigga like he did something to fuck your life personally. Of recently lil wayne has done some shit that i dont quite agree with, mostly the shit he wears but who cares thats that niggas look not mine. I like specific songs on each of the carter albums, but even though i dont like this “new direction” lil wayne has taken in recent years, I aint gonna knock the nigga for doing his thing, I aint no stan and im not a hater. I just listen to what i like. But let’s be serious tho, you telling me that if lil wayne asked you to hang out with the nigga, you say no cause of some songs you didnt like? You trying to tell me that he deserves all the shit some of yall are saying? And last but not least, are you trying to tell me there not one lil wayne song you dont like between the carter 3 and the carter 4? If you say no, get the fuck out of here cause you lying to me, and everybody on this website and most importantly yourself.

      1. Pop music (a term that originally derives from an abbreviation of “popular”) is a genre of popular music which originated in its modern form in the 1950s, deriving from rock and roll. The terms popular music and pop music are often used interchangeably, even though the former is a description of music which is popular (and can include any style), whilst the latter is a specific genre containing qualities of mass appeal.

        As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country; nonetheless, there are core elements which define pop. Such include generally short-to-medium length songs, written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks.

        So-called “pure pop” music, such as power pop, features all these elements, utilising electric guitars, drums and bass for instrumentation; in the case of such music, the main goal is usually that of being pleasurable to listen to, rather than having much artistic depth. Pop music is generally thought of as a genre which is commercially recorded and desires to have a mass audience appeal.

      2. I can’t think of a song from the top of my head that ive liked form wayne from 2010 til today. A lot of people consider Hip Hop to be plastic thanks to him and Cash Money Records. I admit he was putting out some decent stuff out when he was on the syrup but since his stop taking drugs hip hop has literally been raped

    12. lol that nigga Wayne done outsold all these lame ass cats, fucked bad bitches, got crazy amounts of paper stacked and bouncing out this BITCH lol. Do your thing wayne and don’t listen to these lame hatin ass fools. What else is there for dude to accomplish. He’s already done it all and proved beyond a doubt he is the greatest(living or dead). No one can touch him, not even Jay-Z

    13. Does wayne let anyone coming skating with him? No? Probably because he is completely and utterly useless at it. What a clown.

      1. but he will always let someone film him and post it on the internet to show how little he is progressing

      2. Agreed! Let his lame ass skate right off a cliff somewhere and we will be fine. Why is Mt. Dew wasting time filming a dude struggling on a skateboard when there are plenty of talented kids from all over that get no shine. Letting this dude and his skateboard coach (?) practice until it is worth watching before polluting the airwaves with infant-level skills.

    14. No wonder you suck at skatin’. How you supposed to get better if you don’t let nobody skate with you??? Arrogant and dillusional.

    15. Wuddup world its cha boi back in this place to be. Dag yall… damn weezy on some next level ish right here. he bout to make a grown ass man cry. dont do it weezy! hip hop still needs ya! gimmie dat dedikation 4. but im stil finna hear i am not a human being 2 and tha carter iv! damn yall. respect the man and his craft, but i aint bout to loose king weezy

      its cha boi 🙁

      1. look kid. dag all i never understood rap. why the jocks get teh fly girls and me i get the hood rats? i tell em skit, skodadle, got hit with a bottle for talkin that mess! i confess its a mess when your living in a concrete jungle and no body know yo name. glad i came!

    16. Given the music he has given us from 2006 onwards, he can skate on forever. Not a bad thing for music at all.

    17. Music is in trouble because you and the whole bitch ass ymcmb are fucking it up. Not to mention those wack mmg mofo’s under that fake fat fuck officer ricky. Then you have all these other talentless fucks in various genres messing shit up. It’s a damn shame.

      Hopefully he falls on his head a few times and quits rapping.

    18. Wayne- goat rapper, goat guitar player and rockman, goat skater. and a respected member of the Bloods. Only Ross is realer, and noone’s realer than Ross.

      1. no ones realer than ross… you got to be kidding me dude. His fucking names stolen from an ACTUAL DRUG KINGPIN, his real name is WILLIAM and WILLIAM has never pushed keys. OFFICER WILLIAM was a correctional officer. WILLIAM doesn’t write ANY of his raps. Dudes an actor for Warner Bro’s plain and simple. You simps need to start thinkin for yourselfs an get yourselves outta that loop they play you in.

      2. Kool G rap would rip off Ross’ head..and shove up his butt. Don’t tell me no one realer than Ross…

    19. he says he is going to quit rap, but anyone with two brain-cells will know he will come back with an album, sell more than ever before. Obvious, but his dumbass fans will never catch on because they have been dumbed down by his nursery rhymes.

    20. Music is in trouble because of people like Wayne. Theres still good music out there if you turn off the FM shit

      1. dont compare mj playing baseball to waynes skateboarding,

        mj had some skills and he could hit and catch balls i’m sure

    21. It’s so very amazing that this young man, generates so much attention with everything he says. Lil Flip had the chance to be like this. However, unlike Wayne staying with Baby, Flip turned his back on OG Hump.

      Lesson is this, stay loyal to who brought you up. Regardless if they owed you 8 million and you only got 2 million, you have to take your lumps.

    22. lil wayne is from a paradox called “the block” and is a successful product of it. don’t question why that rose, that grew from the concrete has damaged petals, appreciate the fact it even grew.

    23. I’m leaving Hip Hop DX, y’all. I’m sick of trolls talking about Ja Rule. Meet me at RapRadar.

    24. your website is always lagging and your videos half the time never play…. I have at&t internet & have the fastest available speed for my internet so dont think Im some dumb kid that doesnt know what he’s talking bout… Fix the site, step it up, Ive been frequenting your site since I was 15 Im now 27… Fix It! Thankyou

    25. Let Wayne do Wayne. He already IS the KIGN of Hip Hop! He has already taken over Rock n Roll and now hes on the road to become the BEST SKATER ALIVE!

      YMCMB!

      1. will you please shoot your self in the head and just stop being a dumb shit because that is the stupist thing i have ever heard lil wayne is just a waist of oxygen for music and definetly for skateboarding

      2. BOY has to be the worst troll, goes on every post spelling king wrong and then tells other to learn how to spell

    26. “music’s in touble” with wayne leaving the game, music will be better

      this guy is a pioneer of wack shit.

      good riddance. Music doesn’t need you

    27. best news ever now hip hop will be saved when this piece of shitt never do music again and the funny thing is that he never will be a good in skateboarding xD

    28. lol why we all bugging?we know the homie whack.
      all fake and wannabe thug rappers this your chance to shine since lil gayne will be “leaving”(for a brief moment) but it wont be easy competing with the real hip-hop heads out there

    29. In trouble? Music is saved. If there is a god, maybe the rest of YM will leave music and get into skating, skiing or w.e the fuck these pricks do.

    30. Music is in trouble? IF hip-hop died music will still be vibrant. 2.) Lil’ wayne you will come and Go. No matter how great talent you are. 3) Lil’ wayne you are not quitting music that where the money is at.

    31. Quit hatin’ on somebody that got it better than you.. I swear so much hatin’ just makes em look betta.. Simps

      1. Lol amazing comment. Hes f’n terrible at it to. In that vid it looks like hes been skating for 4 mins not 4 months. I dont care if I’m a hater, Wayne you suck dude and will never be good. Stick to your talents.

    32. I felt like.. you were going to see Baby holding Lil Waynes hand.. while he got on the skateboard.. and give him a little push. This nigga is a faggot. I really hope he sticks to skateboarding.

    33. “Music is in trouble. Because I’m in love with this skateboarding sh*t.”

      Music was already in trouble thanks to you, you fucking dumbass.

    34. If music’s in trouble, then release Ja Rule from prison right now. He will get to work on an album so monumental that Billboard will have to certify it diamond even before it comes out.

    35. Watching Weezy struggle to ollie made my day. This Loser talks like this is his real calling in life. For a second in there(00:27) it looked like he was about to grind a rail…..Naahhhh.

      I’m Sure Everyone in the YMCMB camp is trippin out. Wayne tried to start this whole YM empire, Got all those Young Money Artist Hyped up like Khalid “WE DA BEEEST!”. Now, he’s tellin drake n them “Fuck that rap shit, Skate or die”. HA!

      Thanks HHDX for bringing this video to my attention.

    36. Lil Wayne, KIGN of HIP HOP

      -Best Rapper Alive

      -Best Skater Alive

      This man does it all. He is a LEGNED!

      YMCMB!

    37. This is pathetic. I bet every one of those dudes watching Wayne BLOW CHUNKS at skateboarding is collecting a check so they can’t say how horrible he is to his face. Wayne’s trying to recapture his lost childhood because he’s been playing this ‘gangster’ role for so long. It’s gotta be tough to constantly have to be in character. Wayne, it’s ok to drop the gangster act and still be a rapper. He was probably molested by Birdman when he was younger as well, which accounts for the father/son bond they seem to share, although there is no biological connection at all. Wayne turns 30 this year!! Grow the fuck up. Quit skateboarding and quit drugs and start a new life. An adult life.

    38. “If you honestly listen to Lil Wayne, there is something wrong with yew”

      If you honestly can’t spell the word “you”, there is something drastically wrong with our school system.

    39. If any of you had ever stepped a foot on a skateboard you’d know how fucking hard it is. You can pretend to skate and be a poser but he’s showing actual progress and there is no way to achieve that without DEDICATION. Yes he might totally suck compared to the pros and i really do believe he shoudl stop making videos but.. keep on skating man..all the people saying u should not skate past a certain age is becuz they’ve never skated. The ones who criticize are the ones who dont know shit.
