As part of Katie Couric’s “All Access” Grammy Special, which airs next Wednesday, she interviews Lil Wayne. Or maybe “interviews” is the wrong word. She looks at Lil Wayne with a straight face while he talks. There we go.
Yikes. I take it back, Weezy is surprisingly lucid in this interview. To the point of it being terrifying. Because he’s still completely nuts, and there’s nothing creepier than a crazy person who speaks in complete sentences. He is a gangsta, and gangstas don’t ask questions? That would be a totally acceptable tough-guy response at a court-ordered anger management conflict resolution group session. Except that this is not a court-ordered anger management conflict resolution group session. It’s a pre-Grammy interview with Katie “Leg Town, Population: Katie’s Legs” Couric, and she’s asking about the President of the United States. Perhaps the gangsta would like to make an exception in this case.
You have to hand it to Katie, though. She is a consummate professional. “Yes, Mr. Lil.” “You don’t say, Mr. Lil.” I haven’t seen her this intent on keeping her “serious journalist face” intact since she interviewed Sarah Palin.

She’s interviewing Katy Perry RABBLE RABBLE she’s awful RABBLE RABBLE if she wins a Grammy I’ma be real madz RABBLE RABBLE!
(God I’m tired)
But really Lil Wayne is totally batshit crazy.
If you take one thing away from this interview, let it be that “Gangsters don’t ask questions.” IT’S GANGSTER 101, PEOPLE.
He looked like he was about to burst into tears at that point…
This is my second favorite prime-time rapper interview.
The first goes to Cam’ron admitting to Anderson Cooper on 60 minutes that if a murderer lived next door to him, cooking bodies in a vat of acid, he wouldn’t call the police and just move.
maybe if gangstas asked questions, the body count from marlo stansfield would have been a little lower. am i right? because he was just killing people willy-nilly, when a simple ‘did you say that about me? no? okay, who did? thanks so much’ would have saved everyone some problems.
(sorry. i’m on the LAST disc of the LAST season of ‘the wire’ and i am cracking under the pressure. is it too late to talk about ‘the wire?’ can we please discuss it, because i’m dying here. OMAR!!!!!)
also, mr. lil wayne, your face is a crazy mess, with the tattoos and the silly grill.
also, too, mr. lil wayne, music isn’t journalism. even if you think it is.
finally, i enjoyed your interview, mr. lil wayne.
(this is lilwaynegum.com, right?)
Fucking spoilers, asshole.
dude, an emphatic, vague reference to a character who lives a high stress life that deserves caps and exclamation points all the time is hardly a spoiler. there’s no need for name calling.
I think the problem is most people dont realize what it means to be a “gansta” not a gangster or mobster…Gangsta is street slang for a person that is street smart that knows how the politics of surviving goes…It is NOT synonymous with killer, gang memeber, or drug dealer…You have to listen to him…he is no fool…
The best part is his knowing, profound nod when she mentions Katrina. Eyes closed, even. His wisdom is so intense!
What a nut job. The way he shifts from leer to smile like nothing is going to give me nightmares.
That is one terrifying man.
He should have a bowling alley and call it Gangsta Lanes “We Don’t Ask Questions, We Just Bowl…Gangsta”
With his hand on his chin and that knowing little smile he looks like my Pysch professor with slightly more tattoos. Slightly.
Chills.
he’s like an evil muppet with no puppeteer…. running loose of his own free will.
His face at :35 is Keith.
Total aside – I started with an Olay commercial. (paraphrased) “Imagine you’re your own cosmetic surgeon; While results won’t compare with surgery…”
Then WHY THE FUCK did you just torture me by making me channel the first season of Nip/tuck, which is all I know about cosmetic surgery?
(Yeah, Lil Wayne is crazy as bat shit, but none of you need me to say it to know it)
FIRST OF ALL…some of you guys are haters.
SECOND OF ALL…he wears tattos because it is a way of expressing yourself and that is another way he chooses to express besides rapping…..which leads me to my last thing
THIRD OF ALL….journalism is something that states an opinon or facts or lies or quotes takin out of context….dont judge a person until you have lived their life….listen to his lyrics and everything has an meaning…even if he raps about something you dont like
That is what i have to say…..

:O:O…you’ve lived his life? Kinda got me wondering what kind of sick obsession you’ve got with a shit rapper….o.O
What’s so hard to understand? Did you actually listen? And of course things don’t sound right when they’re taken out of context..
people make themselves feel better by sitting an putting others down when they have been rejected all their life
I love that he’s bat-sh*t crazy. He has random tattoos, he speaks like a homeless guy. I mean, the guy is just so entertaining.
I realize you get tired of him after 10 minutes, but he so much reminds me of a homeless guy the way he at first seems lucid, but when you listen to him.
Anyway, my favorite moment is when he says he’s a gangsta and “gangstas don’t ax questions”.
It’s the best. Just the best. That is a quote for all time.
