Lil Wayne Really Loves Prince!!!

He calls the singer 'exceptional.'

7/31/2014

We know Lil Wayne has been influenced by guys like Jay Z and 2Pac, but one of his greatest musical influences may surprise you: Prince.


“It was the way he pronounced words and the way he used his voice,” Weezy told XXL for their new cover story. “It was like if he was playing with a baby. You know if he was playing with a kid. [Imitates a baby cooing] It was the way that he was exploring it. He wasn’t doing it because it was funny. He was doing it because he could make it sound good and exceptional.”

------------------------------------------

When I attended the Espys Award a few weeks ago. Lil Wayne came late & made a grand entrance with prince's good friend Christina Millian on his arm! Three degrees of seperation!!

First Lil Wayne said a few years ago that prince couldn't SING eek. Now he says he likes his voice. Hmmm Why is he trying to get on his good side now??

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Remember there is only one destination and that place is U
All of it. Everything. Is U.

Debatable.

you aren't missing out on anything. His voice is wheezy and gross, and his lyrics are vulgar in the dumb way. He's really the epitome of today's terrible rap music

Wayne used to be such a great rapper. Shame he can't seem to get it together anymore. The drugs have gotten to him.

He´s probably referring to how Prince talked in Purple Rain, hence the past tense.

It´s a sad thing really when people nowadays, for instance Lil Wayne, find coherent, intelligible sentences and a clear pronunciation so remarkable that they have to mention it as an inspiration, like a thing from a long gone past, and something unusual for black people. I remember that most rappers during my teenage years, even the tough ones, were extraordinary storytellers and poets who used almost perfect grammar and pronunciation, and as crazy as it sounds today, I must admit that rap music helped me a lot to learn the English language as a kid or teenager.

Unfortunately, this can´t be said about Lil Wayne or Chief Keef.

Or maybe he just liked the way Prince said "Answer me motherfuckerrrr!" in that movie.

" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"
