In this exclusive interview at the Coffee Shop in Amsterdam, Lil Wayne and DJ Semtex sat down and talked about Eminem, Jay Z, Young Money Records and his plans for Carter IV.
When asked which “A Mille” freestyle was his favorite Lil Wayne said:
“I’m not gonna front, everyone killed it. I haven’t heard a wack [freestyle] yet, [But] I got to say that Jay-Z’s in the best version next to Lil Mama, she murdered it. And I got the opportunity to watch her do that live.”
Lil Wayne also explain how he got the “Mr.Carter” beat, which was produced by Swizz Beatz for Jay Z.
“He had it for Jay, and he told me ‘listen, I got this record for Jay, but I just want to see what you can do to it,’” Wayne revealed. “After he heard what I done to it, the record was for me. It wasn’t no ‘I beat Jay out,’ I just did enough where I kept the record. That’s real, ask Swizz (laughs).”
When asked about a collaboration with Jay Electronica he saids:
“Jay [Electronica] is crazy,” Wayne stated. “He probably don’t even know that I know his s**t, but that boy, he’s cold.”
He was then asked about his efforts to get Eminem on Tha Carter III he said his people reached out to Em’s peoples but they declined. He had this message for EM:
“I’m aight with the raps, it’s ok to get on a song. I’m calling you out! Come on out. I’m not calling you out to diss me because I can’t f*ck with you. But come do a song. Please…with three e’s.”
About his Young Money label Weezy said:
“I’m so happy about my label. I feel like a basketball team right before the season and I’m glad about all of my players. We ready,” Wayne stated. “[I have] Tyga, Jae Millz, Nicki Minaj, Bobby Valentino, [and] maybe Lil Scrappy in a minute. We doing it big.”
DJ Semtex then asked him about Tha Carter IV, Wayne said to his fans:
“Carter IV? It’s gonna be crazy because you know, I’m only getting better. Even though I’m getting older I’m only getting better,” he explained. “I’m in my prime right now and my light is shining very, very bright right now and I know that. So I’m gonna take advantage of that and I promise you, I will never fail you.”
