Lil Wayne Says He Is The Next Martin Luther King Jr

December 10th, 2007 | Posted in Celebrity Gossip, Magazines

Lil Wayne and Birdman
Rap superstar Lil Wayne believes he should be treated like Martin Luther King, Jr.

During a recent interview with XXL Magazine, the self-proclaimed “greatest rapper alive” compared himself to Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.

When asked about the perception he’s over-saturating the market with his music, Wayne said, “Darling, I don’t care what nobody think. Talk to me like you talk to Martin Luther King or Malcolm X. You’re not going to ask him about what he thinks about what somebody said about him. You ask him about his greatness and his greatness only.”

Damn, I don’t know what Lil Wayne has been smoking, but I want to try it!

Jay-Z in XXL Magazine

October 15th, 2007 | Posted in Magazines

Jay-Z
Jay-Z is featured in the latest issue of XXL Magazine (December 2007).

Here are some excerpts from Jay-Z’s interview with XXL Magazine:

Jay-Z on releasing an album following the Don Imus aftermath: “I don’t really care about that, ’cause it’s true emotions. You can’t just fix a curse and fix a neighborhood. If you told me tomorrow that if I stop saying “nigga,” that the neighborhood would be fixed, I’ll never say “nigga” again. I’ll never say shit again. I deal with that on this album, with the “Ignorant Shit.” Scarface the movie did more than Scarface the rapper, to me, but still that ain’t the blame for everything that has happened to me. If you’re going to attack a section of entertainment, you have to attack it all. You can’t just attack music. You have to attack films and video games—they killed more people in the opening of Grand Theft Auto than 50 Cent killed on any one of his albums. All his albums put together.”

Jay-Z on Russell Simmons’ demand that the hip hop community clean up its language: “I had a conversation with Russell, to be perfectly frank. I’m like: “Russell, man, you gotta be careful in how you go about doing that. You represent us. You can’t do that. At least have a conversation with everybody about it. You just can’t speak out like that.” And I don’t agree. You know, I ain’t agree with everybody going on Oprah. I thought it was really a bad move for us, because there’s no way to win. That show, it’s not edited by us. You can’t win. It’s not an equal forum. I don’t think that was the right forum for that type of conversation. If you have the conversation, really have the conversation. Have a conversation. Don’t talk at me.”

Jay-Z on Lil Wayne: “I think Lil Wayne is extremely talented. I think he’s one of the most talented ones out there. I mean, even more so how his delivery is than what he says. I don’t think some of the things he says sometimes are the greatest things, but the way he delivers it, that’s part of it. People got to look at that, too. That’s a big, important part of the puzzle. But do I think me and Lil Wayne should be in the same sentence? Me? No. I mean, hopefully one day. He has to accumulate work. Put some classics under his belt.”
