Lil Wayne says rappers today are different from the
emcees he saw when he was coming up in the
industry. According to Wayne, who covers XXL's
August/September issue, this helps him know he's
authentic.
“I know I’m authentic because I’m 35 million years
in the game," Lil Wayne says. "I don’t know where
the authenticity is in the game anymore. Today
everyone sounds alike, they looking alike, they acting
alike, they dressing alike. I came out when everybody
was super different. You had an O.D.B. You had a
Busta Rhymes and then you had a Tupac. You had a
Biggie. And everybody was different. Biggie was
talking about Mob and Mafia shit. 2Pac was wylin’,
talking about West Coast this and that. You had
niggas like Meth and Red talking about how high they
got and making people laugh. And then now, you got
them, them. You got the categories and then everyone
falls under it.”
Lil Wayne Says He's Nervous About Tha Carter V's
Release
As he prepares to release Tha Carter V, Lil Wayne
says he's got some jitters.
“I’m always feeling like I ain’t done shit," he says.
"I’m still nervous about Tha Carter V… I’m
confident about what I do, but I’m still nervous about
what people think."
In the interview, Wayne also says he signed Drake
because of his ability to sing and rap and that he
signed Nicki because he "wanted a female" on his
Young Money team.
Lil Wayne is prepping for his Tha Carter V, but he is
also gearing up for his Drake Vs. Lil Wayne Tour.
