Wearing what looks to be a cross between a Pirates Of The Caribbean Jack Sparrow outfit and famed liquor sea leader Captain Morgan, Lil Wayne rocks a crimson jacket with gold trim for his new cover.
In the interview, Lil Wayne talks about Jay-Z and how rap lyrics are all about perception.
Lil Wayne says:
“I know for a fact, music is about perception. You can’t do anything but perceive what you hear. If I know that for a fact, I can never be upset about someone’s reaction to it. I’m not gonna say I don’t know what will happen before I say it [on record]. I do know what will happen. I am aware of it. It is what it is.”
When asked about Drake and his huge success, Lil Wayne flexes his boss muscles and lets it be known that there isn’t any competition between the two popular rappers.
VIBE: You mentioned how humbled you were at the success of “She Will.” Drake, who wrote and performs the song’s chorus, has now become a platinum star in his own right. Do you look at the guy and say, “Wow, I helped create a monster, I have to stay on my toes”?
LIL WAYNE: I don’t look at it like that. Drake is my artist. If he wasn’t my artist, then yeah maybe. But that’s my artist. He’s not [just] a friend. We’re more than friends. It’s business. It would be impossible for it to be a competition. I mean, I’m the guy’s boss.
Does Lil Wayne have a point?

Can someone not be competition because they’re on the same team as you?
If Drake was on another rap label, Lil Wayne said he may be competition, but because he’s Drake’s boss, he’s no big fuss.
Lil Wayne is captain of the Young Money ship, but sometimes captains get overthrown.
