Lil Wayne Calls Himself An Interesting Muthaf*cka + Plans to Retire for Children
Weezy F Baby is featured in the July/August 2011 issue of XXL magazine and talks being an interesting muthaf*cka, retirement and some more stuff.
On why he is considering retirement: Honestly, this is the real truth. I honestly think it’s unfair to my kids. I’m super dedicated into what I do. Like, it’s no questions—it’s hands down, I do this. I live this. I don’t have a day out my week that I do something else. I do this every day of my life, and I’m not about to stop, ’cause that’s the only way you can succeed in this business, is to do it the way I do it. I want to succeed the way I want to succeed. You can succeed. You can put out a hit… But to do it the way I want to do it, to be comfortable to do what the fuck I want to do, you’ve got to work like no other. Like I said, it’s unfair to my kids. So about 30, 31, 32, I gotta get ready.
On his expectations of Nicki Minaj and Drake: I expect to eat, and eat well. I expect [Drake] to be a lot more successful than he has ever been. I mean, this guy’s a superstar. He is the definition. That’s what I told y’all before he was: ‘That’s the definition of a superstar.’ And like Nicki, he’s only breaking ice. He has yet to be who he’s going to be. I’m banking on them.
On what makes him unique: What is good about me is that I’m an interesting muthafucka. I’m Dwayne Michael Carter period! Whether I’m a rapper or not, I’m interesting. And that’s what my album’s gonna be about: me and how interesting I am.
I LOVE the fact that he called himself an interesting muthafucka…not only did he say it, he absolutely meant it. In my mind, he said it with so much conviction. Straight. Like. That. Peep his full interview here.
