Check out episode 2 of Lil Wayne‘s “DEWeezy” series above were you can view footage of him skating and talking about why he loves his hobby lifestyle so much. You can also watch episode 1 after the jump that includes Paul Rodriguez introducing the Mountain Dew skateboard team and then they all go watching Weezy at his SXSW concert in Austin, Texas on March 15th.

I wasn’t going to post these videos on the blog, because episode 1 doesn’t include any new footage of Wayne, but episode 2 does.
