On the heels of Lil’ Wayne’s new single “How To Love” dropping yesterday, MTV released a clip of Weezy F. speaking with Sway after the taping of his Unplugged special about the new song.
“I can tell you that I’ve never had a single like it, and it’s an amazing song. It’s an amazing song.” When I listen to it I get goose bumps and I feel like the song is gonna take me somewhere that I’ve never been musically. You know that if you come to a Lil Wayne show two years from now, you already know that ‘I’m gonna get rap — some of the best rap — I’m gonna get some guitar, I’m gonna get some singin’, I’m gonna get some dancin’, I’m gonna get some old-school music, and I’m goin’ to a show tonight.’ And I think that’s where this song is directing me to.”
“I am a musician, and a few years back, I noticed that I wasn’t just a rapper. And I noticed that I didn’t want to do this just to rap,” he said before clarifying his point. “I do want to go down as one of the greatest rappers of all time, but I also want to go down as one of the greatest musicians of all time. When you think about it, Tupac is just known as a great rapper; Biggie is just known as a great rapper, Jay-Z — just known as a great rapper. I want to be known as that rapper that turned it all the way up and became the face of the music.”
