Lil Wayne took a minute out of his extensive touring schedule to sit down with Billboard Magazine to discuss touring, Drake’s solo album and how his new album will be 80% of him playing the guitar. I think the overall Lil Wayne fan is not ready to hear an entire album infuse with Rock Music and Hip-Hop. No Ceilings already set the standard of what fans want to hear and going to far left can leave fans puzzled. Just my opinion. But, the good news is that Carter IV is still on the way and is due early next year.
Lil Wayne: It’s played a big part in my career. I’ve been on the road since I was about 14. Since then there’s never been one city that I’ve been stable in for six months. Honestly, touring is just another part of my day. The stage comes at 9 p.m. OK, I eat at 12. (laughs) It’s natural for me, not a preparation. And I thank God for that every day.
Whether it’s a club or arena, I perform my ass off. I go out there and give it my all every single night. I would die onstage. Some people like to just go out there and have their song played with five people onstage, and you don’t even know who four of them are. You’ve got to go out there and perform. Once that works, people will come. And as long as people keep screaming when I step out there, I’ll keep giving them me.
Lil Wayne: As soon as you start to develop that sense of withdrawal, you get a call from your manager (in Wayne’s case, Cortez Bryant) telling you that you’ve got 60 nights coming up somewhere so you’ll be all right. (laughs) Honestly, the way my schedule is, my days — even when I’m not on tour — are still full. I’m in the studio every single night. There’s really never a moment for me to actually sit and breathe and even notice if I’m having withdrawal symptoms because I have to keep it moving. I just turned 27 on September 27, so I’m not in a rush to take any downtime.
