Last night, while working late, I stumbled across and read maybe the most amazing article on Weezy F to ever exist. The shit this boy says is truly amazing. I’m going to post a few of my favourite quotes, but please, go check this shit for yourself. There’s the article that made the magazine, and then there’s the uncut article, which contains part of the conversation that didn’t make it to print.
Enjoy.
Question: “What are you looking at?
“That green-ass dollar sign, and it got a bright-ass light somewhere. A lot of people’ll tell you the bright light’s at the end of the road; why the fuck is it that bright if it’s the end of the road? I don’t know where the fuck it’s at. I’m trying to find it and when I find it, I had bought me like three more light bulbs and some, like, lifetime light bulbs. I’ma switch it out when that light go out, it’s so hot it might burn me…a million watts. I’m a Martian, yes, and if you understand any of this then you’re Christ.”
“Yeah, I stated that [I’m the Best Rapper Alive]. Thank God there’s actually no award for the best rapper alive, because two things: either niggas would be mad that I’m actually getting the best rapper alive award and I said I’m the best rapper, or I’ll be mad that niggas are getting my award.”
“You supposed to be able to do anything in this world. That’s what Martin Luther King told me. He ain’t never put a specific on what to [do]. He said you can do anything. “Kill” falls under that.”
Some of you may remember my Blood post from a while back (link not accessible), and this would have been a good addition to it to prove my point.
Interviewer: Recently you’ve been claiming Blood a lot. That’s something that seems new to me—
Weezy: “Go back through your history. Juvenile’s video, “Back That Azz Up.” I’m in there with my hat on, what color that was? All red. The old Hot Boys pictures that they threw in XXL, check them. The new pics in XXL, check them. Boy’s flag been raised since he ever came out. Don’t disrespect the B gang like that. You basically saying because I’m me, they let me in. Nah. I was already in, I been under the fire, blood. Y’all just started paying attention. ”
