[Intro: Interview & Lil Wayne]
Uh thank you for coming back and man oh
Man uh congrats on the record this come
On this is fantastic what
A a great record uh and man what so what
Is the thing that went down with this CU
We've wait been waiting four years for
The for the album to come out and there
Was some legal thing with your label or
Something yeah it was uh you know
Business yeah yeah you know yeah I guess
So yeah kind of over yeah kind of over
My head at times and I'm a I'm a real
Musician I'm an artist so
Abut it must be is it is it frustrating
Cuz you you couldn't get away from your
Label or is it too you can't even talk
About it it's um it's business
Um legal stuff but when I say I'm an
Artist meaning I'm So Into what I'm
Doing every day meaning my craft that
When I have to go too far into something
Else I put somebody else in charge of it
When there somebody else that was in
Charge of it messes up then everything
Blows up and that's how everything blew
Up we just need the de breed to clear
And just clear and then go back to
Exactly just you getting out the stuff
But how do you fill the time you have
Four years what were you you just
Riding yeah yeah working just in the
Studio every day I like to skate working
Skating things like that I am a father
For oh really yeah that's the main thing
That's a lot of stuff actually yeah do
The kids uh are they all do they skate
The boys skate yeah my daughter does not
Skate well how did you get into
Skateboarding did you grow up in uh
Skateboarding in New Orleans
Skateboarding in New Orleans
No that didn't happen right no no you
Bring that skateboard through my
Neighborhood I told him earlier that's
When the UFO just hit the block on
Thinking aliens exactly well how'd you
Get into this skating having too much
Time to myself sitting down watching TV
Every day I ran into this channel I
Start watching every day and this kid
Was on this skting and um I start
Watching exactly how much fun he was
Having and how his mind was not thinking
About nothing else the world could have
Blown up to the left of him this is the
Right of me to the left of
Him to the left and he was just so
Focused on I don't know if I turned my
Left shoulder proper enough I'm not sure
If my left foot was I was like I need to
Be that focused on something else other
Than what I'm focused on that's how I
Got into it wow so you clear your mind
By skateboard I'm yeah yeah if you
Thinking about something else why you on
That board it's going to show
You it will uh is is it true you someone
Said that you written probably over a
Million songs or almost a million songs
That's impossible right that's untrue
Cuz that's that's not true because I
Don't
Write you don't you you don't write I
Just go in there and what I was feeling
That day is how it goes really yeah and
You and what do you just think of the
Beats or you think of the the song and
Then you just go there's always a
Different trigger meaning sometimes it
Might be somebody else's song it may be
A feature they already have their they
Already have their subject so I just
Stick to the subject if it's mine if the
Music is what it is I go off the music
If not if I had a subject already on my
Mind something that was bothering me or
Some words that been rhing too long and
I didn't see a mic yet there it is but
How do you remember this the the song
When you perform
It you your guys are so so so kind and
So generous they typed up my lyrics for
Me and so I'm back there studying them
Right now wow
What do we have a
Thing yeah we do we have a picture of
You at rehearsal this is this is real
This is you reading uh reading your your
Own lyrics getting ready for tonight
That's fascinating I never heard of uh
Of anyone doing it that way yeah what
Happens is because I don't write what
Makes it so difficult is because I don't
Write it down if you write it down you
Get stuck to what's on the paper and
You'll remember it every time just like
School just like a test um but because
You don't because I don't write it down
I just go right there from there I move
On to the next song which means I move
On to the next thought I forgot whatever
The last song was about yeah you just
Cleared out you don't even want to I
Can't you can't yeah I got to think
About what the next song is about and
Put my full 39 million per into it wow
How fun is that man and then you just
Skate to just clear it all
Out it's just fantastic I do something
Else to clear it all out but you know oh
You do a little something else yeah okay
