Lil Wayne has been going through a lot recently and he has chosen social media as his medium to express his frustrations. But the rapper, who is engaged in a lawsuit against Birdman and Cash Money Records for unpaid dues among other things, has somewhat broken his silence in an interview with Rollingstone. Although his doesn’t reveal much, he does tell us that the The Free Weezy Album will release in March.
Here are some of the other interesting words from the veteran rapper.
On The Free Weezy Album:
“I’m working on it every day, man. I guarantee it’s going to be something dope. If you don’t want a musician being creative, don’t get The Free Weezy Album.”
On the “I am a prisoner” tweet from December:
“I love being a prisoner in some pussy. That’s what I meant. I’m human,” he says. “But it’s nothing that a good blunt can’t cure.”
On Tha Carter V:
“Cake baked, icing on top, name on top, candles lit. I would have released it yesterday if I could. But it’s a dead subject right now. It’s a jewel in the safe. It’s that stash-house money.”
On artists releasing surprise projects:
“Right now, anybody could put out a new song on the Internet and it could become the hottest thing ever,” Wayne says. “When I was starting, you couldn’t do that type of shit. But that’s wonderful – the game is wide open, and my job is just to stay vital.”
On young artists:
“I like Rae Sremmurd and Migos. Sometimes I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about on Instagram,” he says with a laugh. When that happens, he turns to his 16-year-old daughter, Reginae: “I had to call her, like, ‘What the hell is “on fleek”?'”
On retirement:
“I’ve thought about it,” he says. “But for a person like me that bleeds, eats, sleeps and shits music, it’s hard to do. When I go home, I want my actual house to be a vacation. And I might give y’all three new kids from four different women. You know how I do it.”
