Lil Wayne recently had an interview for Complex magazine where he spoke about everything from how he writes to what he thinks about the current state of hip-hop. It was brought up that he had been singing a lot more on his latest tracks, so when asked about it he responded by saying it was the "Pain, that's all that is, pain, pain brings that out you." So where is the pain coming from?
"Me. If you blame something else for your pain then you're an asshole. You are your pain, nigga. You can cut yourself right now. That don't hurt because you are your pain. If it hurts you, then you done that, it's a mind thing. You ever notice when you have a very stuffy nose or you have a cold and you eat something, you don't taste nothing, you be like, "I can't eat nothing, I can't taste it, I'm hungry," that's because you don't actually taste nothing, you know what I mean? You are you, you make everything around you. You make water, you make the sky, because it's you, if you don't want that to be water then it ain't water, fuck. It's you, so...ya dig?"
He said he had a lot of love for people who do whatever they want. "....Martin Luther King said we can do what the fuck we want, he do what the fuck he want, him and Bam Margera. What will Bam do next? Whatever the fuck they want...that's one of my favorite shows." So does the man write his lyrics? He says he doesn't really write. "I don't write nothing, I just keep ideas and never fucking use them. I just write down shit, like bad situations or stories. Jot them down as I go, like, cool idea, and if I fucking remember when I'm in the studio-when I'm in the studio, when I hear a new song, I'm going to start a line off fresh and I always just keep going because I be like, "I'm killing it right now but I know I got some bad ass ideas written down."
In other news…
When he is laying down his verses, he says he like to "visualize" everything first. "I like to see it before I say it, how I want to look on the video or if it's going to be a single, I take it all the way down to if I was rapping this motherfucker song a capella to a person that don't know or like me, that's how I approach every song, how can I get a person to pay attention to it? I ain't gotta get you to like me but I can get a person to pay attention. Like, the people you're sitting next to on the plane and they're wondering why the fuck you're sitting next to them in first class, I want them to be able to ask me a question and I'll be able to start rapping to them and they don't even know it's a rap." Quite a plane ride.....

^^^^^^ I'm cracking the fuck up right now!!!! Yo you got me in here at 1:15am laughing had has shit about to cramp up!!!!
Please tell me this shit was taken out of context and scarmbled around to make us laugh...PLEASE!
This is by far one of the dumbest fuckin' interviews I've ever came across....
"You ever notice when you have a very stuffy nose or you have a cold and you eat something, you don't taste nothing, you be like, "I can't eat nothing, I can't taste it, I'm hungry," that's because you don't actually taste nothing, you know what I mean? You are you, you make everything around you. You make water, you make the sky, because it's you, if you don't want that to be water then it ain't water, fuck. It's you, so...ya dig?"
Wow...the whole time i'm reading this I swear, I'm really starting to understand what the D.A.R.E program and all of those fuckin' after school specials were about now.
All I kept hearing in my mind throughout the whole interview is:
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS!
~Be Eazy!
I posted this as an initial comment but I had to give it to you cuz you always keep a kool head and be on that knowledge tip, but this time you came off as if you ain't get where dude was coming from, yea he should spend more time putting his high thoughts into rapping but people always dying to interview him and forget that he spend a lot of time in psych books, cats always act like I don't know what I'm saying but when I give them tha real about dude, they call me a d***rider, I'm just all about tha facts and tha real, yea my dude be on that other stuff sometimes and I admit I don't bang every Wayne song, but I do bang 90% of them...LoL he throw out a oohwee sometimes and other times they be OOOHWEE'S for real, but that's me, I just wondered dude cuz I know you said a while back sometimes you just say stuff cuz it's funny but I just wondered was it tha fact that you really ain't get where he was coming from or were you just clownin how it came across and how tha interview was generated
I hate when stans get on that bullshit again.Wiz must have read my mind, all I could think of is don't do drugs while reading this dumb ass.thacahhter and other Lil Flames Flamettes are getting all bent out of shape because people are calling it like they see it.This moron is trying to be philosophical, but he lacks the intelligence to express his thoughts.There is no deeper meaning in Lil Flame's nonsensical rambling, if you think so you're snorting the same powder as that fiend.
This is the craziest shit I've ever heard in my life. I think this is the first time I've ever read something and it actually made my head hurt. Dude is truly a fool wit it. Dude is living in his own world man, believe that shit when I say it.
"We are not the same I am a martian"

Hows his fans supposed to understand what the fuck hes talkin bout. Who uses retarded metaphors in interviews? And plus hes speakin to lil 12 year girls who dont understand him in the first place since he is tryin so damn hard to be deep. Refer to da nigga JB's comment.
Its Crazy how some of yall say yall can relate to what hes sayin cause hes high and yall get high.Yall sound just as dumn as he do.Hes tryin 2 be deep cause everybody on his dick sayin he lyrical and he took it to his head.He says random shit that dont make no since all u dick ridin niggas think that shit is so fuckin clean.yall need to stop havin a 2nd graders state of mind and take the time out to listen 2 what he say and not his beats.cause that what people hear more.Just do this 4 me and be real about it.Do THIS MAKE SINCE OR DID HE JUST SAY IT JUST TO SAY IT (You snakes, stop hiding in the grass
Sooner or later I'll cut it knock the blades in yo ass
You homo niggas getting Aids in the ass
While the homie here tryna get paid in advance
I'm staying on my grizzy I'ma bonafide hustler

this nigga don't even know what the fuck he talking about, n fuck ya think u know what he saying. This nigga on some shrooms or something fucking delusional ass.
Haha you right hes definitely been trippin. If you dont want it to be water then it aint? no it really is though no matter what you want it to be sorry wayne its water
This is what happens when you mess with coke.
Lol.
Peace!
wayne...lay off the coke fam...haahaha..BK...WE IN HERE!!
lol i was lost in the first paragraph, made some sense down at the end. how about he just raps, rather than talking. lol
them boys in the hood keep 44s and calet caws 454s under they hoods... know it's going down when they lights low and they moving slow..."
fuck that, stop giving him props for JUST gettin money, any fool can get money believe that....only smart ppl can hold onto money in the long run tho and turn it into wealth, the spiral wanye is going down with all these drugs and corny ass gang affiliations (baby and wayne JUST start reppin' tha red, i dont find no respect in two well grown ass niggas gettin affiliated with bloods just for street cred cause they wasn't into that lifestyle growin up!!!!) anyway, this dumb shit he doin and the way he sounding is proving that he's just another fool with money and any fool with money is gonna soon be without it, so get off his dick just cause he got money, if u really a fan of his then u should be worried about his drug abuse
Damn they trashed your comment too, and you ain't even say anything degrading or inaccurate or anything, I think this article was put up to make Wayne look retarded and create controversy towards him and how he speaks in interviews, it seem like tha idea is you can make more money off negative publicity towards Wayne than positive because there are more negative comments than positive or why would it matter what people say, hmmm...it would seem anybody who ain't comment with tha intent to say, he's retarded, or he smokes crack, or look how dumb he is, is getting hated on because they ain't follow tha plan that was meant for tha article, damn I thought these were just all opinions, I didn't know things had gotten to tha point where people are trying to dictate comments as well as tha news, mannn, tha government ain't tha only ones trying to make power moves...a lot of news is against hip hop, we shouldn't have one of our own bashing hip hop, and Wayne is hip hop because he's tha picture that is out there...this ain't a good look, many news heads are right when they say they don't have to criticize us because we do it enough
Blacks make up 13% of the US population1but account for 50% of new HIV cases....go out and get educated about aids today!
stop suckin his dick bro.
it made sence. but he said it in a retarded ass way.
if he was smarter he could have said....
LIFE IS WAT U MAKE IT. U CONTROL UR DESTINY.
instead he made people readit like 4 times to understand.
and u kno hes doing drugs wen he compares it to being on coke
nose stuffy
numb
cant eat
What he says makes some sense after you piece it together.....this nigga used Martin Luther King and Bam Margera in the same sentence. lol
It's not what you say...It's how you say it.
and he can rap hes a good rapper.
but alot of the time he says shit that noone understands at all.
damn you saying cracka alot............
is it you plies?
drugs are bad m'kay
and im as black as they come bruh, lol
datdirtydade, Why you the only one sayin' drugs are cool? I know alotta people do it, but that doesn't make it any better
if you understand what wayne is sayin in this interview and your not a scientist,you must be fuckinq with that RAW BLUE MAGIC.i bet you qo and ask weezy what he was talkin bout when he aint hiqh,he can`t explain.i`m tellin you,rick ross supplies this niqqa.then him and baby snorts and have some father son sex (no homo)
"I like to see it before I say it, how I want to look on the video or if it's going to be a single, I take it all the way down to if I was rapping this motherfucker song a capella to a person that don't know or like me, that's how I approach every song, how can I get a person to pay attention to it? I ain't gotta get you to like me but I can get a person to pay attention. Like, the people you're sitting next to on the plane and they're wondering why the fuck you're sitting next to them in first class, I want them to be able to ask me a question and I'll be able to start rapping to them and they don't even know it's a rap."
wtf is he talking about?
cocaine is a hell of a drug..........
Weezy calm down Em and Game r the only 2 that can talk crazy and ure not cuttin it. I mean when u try 2 make since it's stupid, with those 2 it's funny shit but it makes us think. Still u are a great rapper just don't want it Clispe or Willie the Kid and Gillie the kid. Be eazy
You notice how all the niggaz that are acting like Wayne just talkin' cuz he all fucked up on that shit are those niggaz from NY that would just never give Weezy the time of day even if they heard one of his fire ass tracks and they knew it was fire they would still be like na this nigga aint sayin shit... Wayne sayin some real shit and if you can't hear him then you just ain't on his level str8 up... Like he said you aint gotta like him but you WILL pay attention to him... all the haters pay more attention to hatin on Wayne then thier own favorites rapper shit... shit so fuckin hilarious...
Im from tha land, thats Cleveland, not NY and i got streetsmarts, booksmarts...ears and a very good functional brain! those are all the tools needed to listen in and get on any rappers "LEVEL" and i sometimes give wayne a listen and im not saying he has not been a good rapper in the past but ON THE REAL....THAT NIGGA DON'T MAKE SENSE ON A LOT OF SHIT!!!! AND A LOT OF HIS SHIT IS JUST SONGS FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING SONGS aka TRASH!!!!
Man JB that shit is clasical nigga thats a classic comment i just laughed for about 4 minutes without stoping, this nigga Wayne is crazy, is not cocaine is the pills cocaine dont make you talk like that he needs to stop snorting smoking, sipping syrup, popping pills, damn that nigga must have a walgreens on his tour bus
You can cut yourself right now. That don't hurt because you are your pain.
Cut yourself sober to see if it doesnt hurt
yo dis coke got this mother twisted
LOL @ these comments
Yeah yo, I agree and like...we didn't land on Plymouth rock, Plymouth rock landed on US!....
Seriously..you're an idiot..only a stan can make sense of some stupid shit like that. "This ain't a real blog site" ...what does that even mean?..We're not a blog site..we're a hip hop news site.
jokesta = voice of reason
Lil' Wayne = just confusing
cahhter nice to see youre still an idiot.
