			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style='text-align: center;'><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:702086/cp~vid%3D702086%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A702086" width="525" height="295" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="." flashVars=""></embed></p>
<p>Last month, <strong>Mack Maine</strong> <a href="http://www.lilwaynehq.com/2011/09/22/lil-wayne-back-working-on-collabo-album-with-juelz-santana/" title="Lil Wayne Back Working On Collabo Album With Juelz Santana">told us</a> <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> is working on and plans to release a sequel to his rock album, <em>Rebirth</em>. Now, the <strong>Young Money President</strong> tells <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1672638/lil-wayne-i-am-not-a-human-being.jhtml" target="_blank">MTV</a> that <strong>Tunechi</strong> is working on an <strong><em>I Am Not A Human Being</em></strong> album sequel and says <strong>Weezy</strong> is already 12 songs in.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;He&#8217;s, like, 12 songs in, and he went crazy. He went left. He&#8217;s in Martian land right now,&#8221; Mack said of I Am Not a Human Being 2.</p>
<p>According to the YM prez, each separate album franchise allows Wayne the chance to showcase different artistic sides. &#8220;He gets to show his rock side, he gets to show his gangsta side and talk to the women on one side,&#8221; Mack said of the Rebirth and Carter series, respectively. &#8220;On I Am Not a Human Being, he is definitely showing some weirdo, left-brain, I&#8217;m-not-from-here type side. He can say what he wants. There are no boundaries, there are no limits.&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 15px;">However diverse he may be in the booth, when Wayne performs live, he is able to pool all his collective talents together — as well as their respective fans. &#8220;He captures all those different audiences, and then at a concert or a show, you bring all those different people together,&#8221; Mack explained. &#8220;You bring your Rebirth rock people, you bring your Carter people, and you bring your I Am Not a Human Being crowd, and you have a great show. That&#8217;s why we sell out arenas every night.&#8221;</p>

<p>According to <strong>Mack Maine</strong>, <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> and <strong>Juelz Santana</strong> are back working on their collabo album called <strong><em>I Can&#8217;t Feel My Face</em></strong>. We were supposed to get the collaboration album years ago, but they kept pushing back on releasing it because of &#8220;label politics&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The next project he&#8217;s working on is I Can&#8217;t Feel My Face with Juelz Santana,” Maine told XXLMag.com over the phone. “Elz is talented man. He’s a young legend. Wayne’s back working in the studio. He has that and the Young Money album.”</p></blockquote>
<p style="margin-bottom: 15px;"><strong>Mack</strong> also told <a href="http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2011/09/lil-wayne-prepping-new-young-money-lp-joint-album-with-juelz-santana-mack-maine-says/" target="_blank">XXL</a> that we would get <strong><em>I Can&#8217;t Feel My Face</em></strong> before this year ends, along with another <em>YMCMB compilation</em>. He also mentioned that <strong>Weezy</strong> will be releasing another two <em>Carter</em> albums (<em>Tha Carter V</em> and <em>Tha Carter VI</em>), as well as a sequel to <em>Rebirth</em> sometime in his music career.</p>

<p><strong>Lil Wayne</strong> is getting ready to start his own clothing line, which will be called <strong><em>Rebirth</em></strong>, the same title of his experimental 2010 album. <strong>Weezy</strong> told XXL Magazine in their <a href="http://www.lilwaynehq.com/2011/06/22/lil-wayne-covers-xxl-magazines-julyaugust-2011-issue/" title="Lil Wayne Covers XXL Magazines July-August 2011 Issue">July/August 2011 issue</a> that is available on newsstands now, he wants to jump into the fashion business:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I just figure that I… I’m funky,” he explained. “I got that from my stylist, Marisa. I’m funky, like she say. I wear a whole buncha items at one time, you know what I mean? I be figuring you at least want one of them items. Like, ‘Damn, I’d love to have that safety pin he got on,’ you know what I mean? Anything. I got on these types of shoes, these shorts, this sweater… A year from now, I want all these items to be mine. Rebirth. I want—I just figure people want to be funky like me, so I got my clothing line.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Hit the jump to hear what <strong>Cortez Bryant</strong> recently told <a href="http://www.billboard.com/#/column/the-juice/lil-wayne-s-manager-says-tha-carter-iv-is-1005277892.story" target="_blank">Billboard</a> about <strong>Tunechi</strong>&#8216;s <em>Tha Carter IV</em> album, hitting stores on August 29th!</p>
<p style='text-align: center;'><span id="more-11994"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>After many push backs, Bryant tells Billboard there will be no more, &#8220;August 29, it&#8217;s not changing.&#8221; &#8220;He put the mixtape and the album in my hand the same day. He turned it in to me yesterday,&#8221; Bryant tells Billboard. &#8220;It&#8217;s done for the most part, around thirty songs that I need to carve down to twelve to sixteen, with four or so bonus tracks.&#8221; So much for those unofficial track listings floating around, aye? Bryant confirmed Nas, Jadakiss and Tech N9ne will appear on &#8220;Tha Carter IV.&#8221;</p>
<p>To promote the long-awaited release of &#8220;Tha Carter IV,&#8221; Lil Wayne is partnering up with MTV. After Lil Wayne performs on MTV&#8217;s Video Music Awards on August 28, the fans will be be able to log on to iTunes &#8220;immediately after&#8221; to purchase the album.</p>
<p style=margin-bottom: 12px;">Target stores will carry an exclusive of the album, Bryant tells Billboard. Bryant did not mention whether the exclusive version will include additional tracks and if so, how many.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style='text-align: center;'><img src='http://www.lilwaynehq.com/images/blog/lil-wayne-interview-magazine.jpg' title='Paris Hilton Interviews Lil Wayne For Interview Magazine' alt='Paris Hilton Interviews Lil Wayne For Interview Magazine' /></p>
<p>We&#8217;ve already posted a couple of excerpts from <strong>Paris Hilton</strong> and <strong>Dimitri Ehrlich</strong>&#8216;s interview with <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> for <strong><em>Interview Magazine</em></strong>, but we now get the full interview that will appear in <a href="http://www.interviewmagazine.com" target="_blank">April&#8217;s issue</a>. You can read the whole interview after the jump, and I think my favorite part has got to be when <strong>Weezy</strong> said he has two pet sharks and &#8220;those are my dudes&#8221; haha.</p>
<p style='text-align: center;'><span id="more-10252"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>DIMITRI EHRLICH:</strong> How are you guys doing? This is Dimitri. You can just let the interview roll if you want, Paris, but I have one question for both of you to start. Paris, you first: When did you first meet Wayne or what was your first thought about him?</p>
<p><strong>PARIS HILTON:</strong> I actually met him when he had a Grammy party in L.A. They called me to host it, and I met him there. But I always thought he was such an incredible artist and so talented. He really has this charisma. When he walks into a room, he just has this power that&#8217;s exciting to be around.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> And what about you, Wayne? What was your first memory of meeting Paris?</p>
<p><strong>LIL WAYNE:</strong> That was the first time-at that same party. I remember meeting her, and then I think it was, like, 10 minutes later, I looked up and she was deejaying. She was at the dance, she had the mic. It was really nice. She has fun, and I like that. I like people that enjoy life, &#8217;cause I do the same.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> So what do you like to be called, Wayne or Lil Wayne?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Actually, Wayne is better.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> I know that you grew up in New Orleans. Did you always know you were going to be a rapper?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I starting rapping when I was 8 years old, so I think when you&#8217;re into something at such a young age like that . . . I mean, nobody in the world could have told me I wasn&#8217;t gonna be a rapper. So, yeah, I always knew I was gonna be one.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Who did you look up to when you were 8 years old? Who inspired you to want to be a rapper?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> The guys I&#8217;m with right now, Cash Money Records. They were pretty big locally in New Orleans and so I always just looked up to them. I mean, they were Cash Money Records way before everybody knew their name, and what I mean by that is that the power they have now, they had then, but just locally in the city. So they were always big. I listened to all their music. That&#8217;s probably why I wanted to be with them.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> And now you&#8217;re being called the new king of hip-hop. What do you think of that? Is it something that&#8217;s hard to live up to? Or is it exciting to have people say that?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> It&#8217;s very exciting. I love pressure, so I guess if that brings forth pressure, then I&#8217;m up for it. But, you know, titles are titles, and names are names. As long as people remember me forever, that will be enough for me.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Do you ever read your own press, or google yourself?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Um, never. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever googled myself. [laughs] But I do read some things that . . . I mean, if I know that I was with an interviewer and I kind of figure that he or she got something bad or something good from the interview, then I&#8217;ll read the piece when it comes out. But other than that, I&#8217;d have to have a reason to read it-and, usually, I don&#8217;t have a reason. So, no, I don&#8217;t really read too much, because I know you know that they word things the way they want to word them when they put it on paper.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> What&#8217;s the most bizarre thing that you&#8217;ve ever read about yourself?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> The most bizarre thing I&#8217;ve ever read about myself is that I was dead. That was kind of weird to read that I&#8217;m dead-mostly because I was reading it. [both laugh]</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> I read that about myself once, too. It&#8217;s pretty bizarre. So what about paparazzi? Have they ever tried to get aggressive with you? Has there ever been an incident where one of them just set you off?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Because I don&#8217;t live in L.A., there&#8217;s not a lot of that. But when I&#8217;ve gone to L.A. and been in the hotel or wherever, I&#8217;ve seen how serious the paparazzi is out there-like, they park across the street from the hotel and as soon as you walk out the front door, they jump out and start snapping. I live in Miami, so I really don&#8217;t have to deal with that on the same level. The only time I ever really witnessed some crazy paparazzi was during my court experiences. Every time I rode up to court, as soon as I jumped out of the truck, they were there to snap, and all in our way to where we couldn&#8217;t walk. It&#8217;s nowhere near like that around here. But maybe I&#8217;m just not that caliber of person that they want to take pictures of me like that. [laughs]</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> So you&#8217;re saying that you don&#8217;t get that hassled by paparazzi in Miami?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Well, obviously sometimes, because I go out. There&#8217;s this thing out here that publishes pictures of people out and about. So when I go out, I do see pictures of myself. I don&#8217;t know where those pictures come from-I mean, I don&#8217;t see the cameras. But I guess I&#8217;m just not looking for them.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> What&#8217;s your favorite club in Miami?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> My favorite club in Miami is a club called LIV. It&#8217;s in the Fontainebleau Hotel.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Oh, I love that club.</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Mm-hmm.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> What else do you like to do for fun?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> My main thing is to chill with my kids. My daughter loves to work, as well-she loves to record and stuff-so I like to work with her.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> How old is she?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> My oldest daughter is 12.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Oh, fun! How many kids do you have?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Four beautiful kids. Three boys and one beautiful angel.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Do they live in Miami with you?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Nah. They live with their moms, but they&#8217;re always with me.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> So you said you&#8217;ve been rapping since you were 8 or 9. Do you remember your earliest rhyme?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I honestly don&#8217;t. I remember some parts of it. I remember the content of what I was rapping about, but I definitely don&#8217;t remember the first rap. But I remember where my head was at and what I was thinking about and things like that. I just wanted to be like Cash Money. That&#8217;s all it was. At the time, though, I think I was more fixated on groups like Another Bad Creation and Kris Kross and stuff like that.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> I know that you helped discover Drake, and now he has become one of hip-hop&#8217;s biggest names. What potential did you see in him and what have you been able to impart to him from your own experiences?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> When I first heard Drake, I already knew that he had potential beyond my imagination, because the kid was singing and rapping-and he was rapping real well. So that&#8217;s kind of an odd mixture-like, you don&#8217;t get somebody very often who is real good at this and real good at that. So that&#8217;s when I already knew that he was gonna blow up, right there. He would&#8217;ve done it-with me or not-I just wanted to make sure it was with me. And the main thing I&#8217;ve told him, or taught him, for lack of better words, is just to stay humble and remember who you are throughout it all, because there&#8217;s gonna be moments in every single day when you&#8217;ll have to go back to that person and reflect on that person. You have to self-reflect. If you forget who you actually are, then what&#8217;s the use of even looking in the mirror.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> When you&#8217;re writing lyrics, do you ever worry about being offensive, or that you&#8217;ll kind of have to, like, edit them?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> No. That&#8217;s one thing about me, and I think that&#8217;s what most of my fans enjoy about me, that I don&#8217;t hold nothing back. I do exactly what I want to do, and say exactly what I want to say. Sometimes I consider the fact that I have a daughter, but I also think about the realities of the world, and just let her know that this is the reality and this world is crazy and there are people out there that are a certain kind of way. I mean, once I get through that hump, then, like I said, I just say what&#8217;s on my mind.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> What are some of the things that you do to bring yourself back to Earth and remember who you are? I&#8217;m assuming that your kids are part of that.</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> It&#8217;s my family and my friends, plain and simple. My family and my friends-they keep me grounded. Especially my mom, because she would kick my ass if I was to change. So, flat out, that&#8217;s what it is.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> I think it&#8217;s good when your family keeps you humble. I&#8217;ve seen so many people gain a certain level of celebrity and just turn into different people.</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Yeah, I have as well.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> It was kind of a controversial move when you released the album Rebirth last year, because it was sort of a rock album. How did you feel about the response to the album?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Oh, I was actually overwhelmed by it because I was surprised that record sold so well. It still went gold. So I was actually overwhelmed that people even got it because, if you&#8217;d asked me before, I thought it wasn&#8217;t gonna do shit. I thought it was gonna sell about 200,000 copies at the most. I really didn&#8217;t get to promote it well because I had to take my little eight-month vacation, but other than that, I think if I would have had more time to promote it, then it would have done better than it did.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Well, I bought it and I loved it.</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Thank you.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> So you&#8217;re branching out into different genres of music. Are you trying to integrate your audiences more?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Exactly. That&#8217;s exactly what it is, because when you go to my shows, there are a variety of people out there in the audience at my shows, and I like to please everybody.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Who do you make music for?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I make it for my fans, honestly. I make it for my fans.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> One thing I&#8217;ve noticed is that a lot of rappers, if you say to them, &#8220;Why are your lyrics about money, sex, and violence?&#8221; they&#8217;ll say, &#8220;Well, we&#8217;re telling it like it is. We&#8217;re being realistic.&#8221; But if you want to do something different and fresh, how do you do that?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> You have to be an overall different type of person. Music is a reflection of who you are, and if those things that you mentioned are what your music is all about, then I guess that&#8217;s who you are. I mean, I think it&#8217;s just that simple. You have to be someone who is able to speak about different things. I speak about what I speak about, and I guess that&#8217;s because I&#8217;m a crazy-ass nigga. [Hilton laughs] Kanye [West] speaks about a lot of different things, but that&#8217;s because of who he is. You have Jay-Z, and he speaks about more corporate things, and I&#8217;m quite sure he&#8217;s a pretty corporate guy. But I guess it&#8217;s all who you are.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Who do you like to listen to?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Honestly, I don&#8217;t listen to nobody else&#8217;s music but my own. It&#8217;s kind of like sports to me. You don&#8217;t see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game-he just works on his own game. And that&#8217;s what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> While you were in prison you released another album, called I Am Not A Human Being. What does that title mean?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> It&#8217;s just saying that I&#8217;m not the same as other people. I don&#8217;t think the same. I don&#8217;t do the same things. I just feel out of this world sometimes.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> I was reading that during your last month in prison, they put you in solitary confinement for having an iPod or something like that. I&#8217;ve heard that being in solitary is the most torturous thing in the world. What was that like for you?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> For me it was okay, because it just meant that I was alone with my thoughts. There were times when it was pretty tough to be by yourself, and to have no television, no sort of nothing. That was kind of tough. But I didn&#8217;t have to be in there long. It was just a month. I was okay. I did fine.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> So literally a month without talking to any human beings except the guards. You&#8217;re totally isolated?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Nah. There were guys next to me and things like that. You could speak through the walls and stuff. It wasn&#8217;t totally silent like you would think it is.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Can you still work out when you&#8217;re in solitary? Do you get time in the yard?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Yeah, yeah. I got an hour in the yard every day, so I was able to do all those things.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> I had to do 24 nights in solitary. [Hilton was held in a separate cell as a safety precaution.]</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Oh, so you know how it is.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Yeah, I know how it is.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Wayne, did anybody try to fight with you at all in prison? Or did everyone just kind of respect you?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> You know, we are men and we argue about things. That&#8217;s the aggression in us. So, yeah, I got into arguments. But there wasn&#8217;t ever anything too bad.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> How happy are you to have your freedom now?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Words cannot explain.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Yeah, I know how you feel. [laughs] It&#8217;s the best feeling in the world when you come out.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Does it make you feel almost like you appreciate every little thing in a different way now-like you have a new lease on life?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Exactly. You&#8217;re definitely more in tune to what you&#8217;re doing. You&#8217;re definitely more humble. I think that most people who come out of that situation just want to make the most of life afterwards. Honestly it was just one big humbling experience.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> I agree. So you&#8217;ve been all around the world. What is your favorite place in the world to go?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I&#8217;ve been to the Dominican Republic a few times and I like that. But Amsterdam would be my favorite place.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> I love Amsterdam! It&#8217;s so dope there. You can just ride a bike around. Do you ever dream? What are your dreams about?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I don&#8217;t dream a lot. But whenever I dream, I just dream about the day I just had or something like that. Mostly that&#8217;s what I dream about. I dream about that current day. Other than that, I don&#8217;t dream a lot.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Do you think that your ambitions have changed at all now because you&#8217;ve achieved so much? Or do you still feel hungry in the same way that you did when you were a kid?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Honestly, it makes me want more because I&#8217;m nowhere near satisfied and I&#8217;m always hungry for more. I&#8217;m a very creative person, and the best part about creation is creating. So I always love to come up with new things, new ideas, new thoughts. I cherish things like that. So I&#8217;m always wanting more.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> What sign are you, Wayne?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I&#8217;m a Libra.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Do you believe in horoscopes?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I&#8217;ve read horoscopes before and what they say about Libras. But I would actually love to not be what somebody writes down-I don&#8217;t want to be described. I don&#8217;t want you to be able to read something and say, &#8220;This is how Wayne is.&#8221; I&#8217;d rather you meet me and decide. I&#8217;d rather be different, basically. So, yes, I&#8217;ve read the horoscopes, and I see what they say. But I&#8217;d rather be something else.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Do you have any pets?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I like animals, but I only have a few pets. I have a bunch of fish, and I have two sharks. Those are my dudes.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Wow. Sharks? Nice.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> How big are the sharks?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> One is a little baby, so he&#8217;s about a foot or two, or something like that. Then the other one is a good two, two and a half feet, or almost three feet.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> So do you have a huge pool for them? Or do they stay in a tank?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> They live in a crib. I have this little water thing. It&#8217;s like a little pond under the stairwell in my house. So they swim under there.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> That&#8217;s dope . . . Do you go on Twitter?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I just shut my Twitter account down because it got hacked. Once it got hacked I had Twitter fix it. They changed it. And then it got hacked again so I just shut it down. As of right now, I&#8217;m on Twitter strike.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Here&#8217;s a question for both of you: Do either of you have any goals that you&#8217;d like to accomplish in the near future? What would you like to have done by the end of this year?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> Ladies first.</p>
<p><strong>HILTON:</strong> Me? I&#8217;d really love to finish my album, because I&#8217;ve been working on it for so long, but I&#8217;ve had so many other projects that it&#8217;s hard to focus on one thing. I&#8217;d also love to just continue doing my businesses, and be more confrontational with people, because I let a lot of people get away with stuff because I don&#8217;t say anything. So, personally, I wish that I would be stronger with people.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> Wayne, what about you?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> I want to bank a cool $50 million at least. At the end of this year, I want to be able to say that I banked $50 million. Not generated $50 million, but actually banked $50 million.</p>
<p><strong>EHRLICH:</strong> After taxes you mean?</p>
<p><strong>WAYNE:</strong> [laughs] Exactly.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:18px;"><strong>HILTON:</strong> That&#8217;s a good goal to have.</p>

<small><em>On set of Swizz Beatz&#8217; &#8220;Rock N Roll&#8221; video shoot with Lil Wayne and Lenny Kravitz.</em></small></p>
<p>The homie <a href="http://twitter.com/MattOS_X" target="_blank">Matt</a>, who used to help me with blog posts on this site, interviewed producer <strong>Develop</strong> recently for <a href="http://rapdose.com/2011/03/02/bigram-zayas-developing-the-sounds-of-tomorrow/" target="_blank">RapDose</a>. They speak on an upcoming project <strong>Develop</strong> has coming out with <strong>Lil Wayne</strong>, working with <strong>Weezy</strong> after he was released from Rikers Island, a dope track they both did that might end up being the intro on <em>Tha Carter IV</em>, <em>Rebirth</em>, and plenty more. Hit the jump to read the interview!</p>
<p style='text-align: center;'><span id="more-9923"></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Who’s your favorite artist(s) to work with?</strong><br />
Obviously Wayne. Watching him record his shit, go in and do what he does. He just keeps on going. Even when he’s tired, he keeps on rockin’ out.</p>
<p><strong>You’ve got a project coming out soon called The Carter Report, right?</strong><br />
The Carter Report is all the songs I’ve done with Weezy, all the way back to 2004. The Carter Era is all of the songs and The Carter Report is the instrumentals of all the songs.</p>
<p><strong>Is there going to be anything new or is it going to be music we’ve heard before?</strong><br />
To a certain extent, it’s all been released but it’s not been hugely promoted and whatnot. So, I think this is good it’s all gonna be on one CD. All of these songs have been scattered from all different time periods. There are probably songs on there that people that are Weezy fans now that weren’t listening to him three years ago will hear this and be like “Oh shit, I’ve never heard this.” It’s stuff from 2004, so that’s like seven years ago.</p>
<p><strong>When will that be released?</strong><br />
I’m working on it for this month. I’m waiting on a couple songs that I don’t have without the DJ on them. You already know how difficult they can be to find just because no matter where Wayne’s going, he’s always in the studio with the engineer, which is a friend of mine. And back then, he was trading out all these songs through these hard drives. There were multiple, multiple just crazy hard drives filled with shit. So it’s going to be a little time consuming. That’s what I’m trying to work out now.</p>
<p>I’m trying to contemplate if I should drop an instrumental first, but I don’t know how many fans are gonna want to just hear the music. The instrumentals, I’m dropping more for the rappers that never got an opportunity to get the instrumentals. You know, for the kids on the come-up that want the music, so that they can rap on these kinds of records. I’d like to drop the song and the instrumental together. I don’t know.</p>
<p><strong>We know you’ve worked a lot with Lil Wayne lately; whom else have you been working with?</strong><br />
I’ve got Tyga. Cory I’ve known for a while. Him and I supposed to be going through some stuff. I’ve got Juelz; he’s got a couple of records I heard that are jumpin’ off. All I’ve been doing is chilling, working. I like to create. That’s all I do is just create. But I’ve got some cool shit I’m working on that’s pop, more dance, top 40 type shit other than rap.</p>
<p><strong>You and Wayne did a record together almost right after his release. I remember you telling me it could be Tha Carter IV material.</strong><br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah!</p>
<p><strong>Other than that, what else can you tell us about that record?</strong><br />
It’s fuckin’ epic! It’s crazy! It starts one way and once the hook comes in, it just goes somewhere else. It could definitely fool people during the first twenty-four bars.</p>
<p><strong>Do you think it’s single material?</strong><br />
It depends on… I don’t know, man. Me, I’m not one of those producers that make records, trying to make it a single. I don’t shift that way when I’m working on music. I just approach it in a way as to “how can it be different?” So, format-wise, it could work. I think it could definitely be something. Like I said, it’s definitely gonna be crazy. And the approach Wayne took when recording it was different than anything that’s worked before. He was using bars that he had written in Riker’s. With that said, it took a little more time than other records that we had done.</p>
<p><strong>Is it for sure Tha Carter IV or is it a possibility?</strong><br />
From my sources and everyone that I’ve talked to, it’s for sure Tha Carter IV. I’m hoping and I’m feeling that it could be the intro.</p>
<p><strong>I love those kinds of records, that “intro” feel. I love that.</strong><br />
Yeah man! It’s epic! The beat’s hard and heavy, then it just explodes.</p>
<p><strong>Everyone wants to know; how’s Tha Carter IV sounding right now?</strong><br />
Shit, from what I’ve heard, he’s definitely on some next-level shit. I think everyone kinda hears it. I think he’ll definitely stay consistent with that, if not more appealing.</p>
<p><strong>I know he’s saving some records from before he was incarcerated. Did you produce any of them?</strong><br />
I’m not sure which ones those are. We literally have about fifteen records stashed away, some even from that Rebirth shit, but they weren’t full rock. They were more like rock-influenced but still hip-hop so that they could still be used. I think two of them had Drake on them, one of them had Sean Kingston on it. The others were just crazy. I’m not too sure though. He works until that very last day. Even after they choose Tha Carter IV. He’s been workin’.</p>
<p><strong>Did you have any production on Rebirth?</strong><br />
No, I didn’t. Like I said, I had about nine records, maybe even a little less, like seven records that we did for that. They’re still crazy.</p>
<p><strong>I love Rebirth, but I heard a lot of bad things about it.</strong><br />
Yeah, it’s interesting. People will probably appreciate it more in about a year from now. He was trying to have fun.</p>
<p><strong>Did you produce “What’s Wrong With Them” specifically for Wayne knowing Nicki Minaj would be featured on it, or was it a beat you had already made before Wayne asked you for production?</strong><br />
That record is funny, actually, because I was in Miami. I went to check up on Wayne and he played my some things. He had asked me if I had any beats for him and I said no. It just felt totally wrong. It was the first time I had ever said “No, I don’t have anything for you.” So, what I did was, before I even got back to New York from Miami, I’d already booked a flight for me to go back to Miami while I was still in there. About three days later, four days later, I had flew to Miami, literally got picked up from the airport, taken to my studio and made that beat that night. That was for Wayne. That was definitely for Wayne. I didn’t think he was gonna get on it, I had no idea. As far as hooks, I thought it was going to be all Wayne. But I went back to the studio that night and made that record. About three days later, I went back to Miami, I took him that beat and, yeah.</p>
<p><strong>What have you and Wayne done together since he was released from prison and what can we expect?</strong><br />
We had that one record that I told you about, that first record that he’d done. There’s a couple ‘nother records that he was feeling. I’m gonna try to find out if he’s recorded over them. I’m probably going to see him in LA. I don’t know which records he’s done. So far, there’s one record that we’d spent two days on.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>What’s the title of the track you and Wayne recorded after his release?</strong><br />
Damn, I don’t know what they’re going with or what theme is going to be. There are a couple of options. I don’t know if it’s “Weezy’s Home” or not. (He goes on to clarify that “Wayne’s World” and this record are not the same) I can find out what they’re going with, though.</p>

<p>Here is the music video for <strong>Lil Wayne</strong>&#8216;s &#8220;<strong><em>Ground Zero</em></strong>&#8221; track from his <em>Rebirth</em> album. <strong>Shanell</strong> stars in the video, but something is telling me that this is a visual from one of <strong>SnL</strong>&#8216;s upcoming music videos and someone just placed the audio over it. I say this because I know she shot a lot of music videos recently for some of her mixtape songs&#8230; but who knows? Like I say, this is just my &#8216;guess&#8217;, and don&#8217;t forget to leave a comment with your thoughts on this vid below!</p>

<p><strong>Lil Wayne</strong> is being recognized again, this time it is in a very big way. <a href="http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/53/celeb-100-10_Lil-Wayne_KMVQ.html" target="_blank">Forbes</a> recently released their annual <em>The Celebrity 100</em> list and it features <strong>Weezy</strong> for the first time ever.  <strong>Wayne</strong> comes in at #74 and is the only rapper to make the list other than <em>Jay-Z</em> (Ranked #15) and <em>Diddy</em> (Ranked #68).  You can read what Forbes said about <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> below and tell us what you think of this major accomplishment in the comments.</p>
<blockquote><p>Not even jail could stop <strong>Lil Wayne</strong> from making his first appearance on the Forbes Celebrity 100. Sentenced in March to a year in the pen for weapons possessions, the rapper managed to earn his hefty total from his new album Rebirth, proceeds from guest appearances and a healthy dose of touring where he grossed over $500,000 per show. <strong>Wayne</strong> is already making plans for a new album, Tha Carter IV, upon his release.</p></blockquote>
