INTERVIEW

A few weeks back the rapper Lil’ Wayne performed at the Toyota Pavilion on Montage Mountain. Fights broke out and a few people had some problems. One young man was also stabbed. I sat down with a young woman (a soon to be Junior at one of the local high schools) and asked her a few questions about the concert.
Q: Did you go to the Lil' Wayne concert?
A: Yes. Me, my girl friend and these three guys. We had a blast.
Q: What do you see in his music?
A: He’s real, you know.
Q: How so?
A: Well, his songs tell a story. Your age group should respect that, you had that guy who got killed on the highway driving, the guy in the plane…..
Q: You mean Harry Chapin and Jim Croce?
A: I guess.
Q: So Lil' Wayne tells stories?
A: Yeah. Prom Queen. The music video is about Lil' Wayne in high school falling in love with a girl, but she dissed him for someone else when she became prom queen. As they get older , Lil Wayne becomes famous, while she becomes pregnant with the baby of her ex-boyfriend, who has left her.
Q: That’s a story, you’re right about that. Do you identify with the Prom Queen?
A: No, Prom Queens are stupid *****.
Q: Whoa, where’d you hear a word like that?
A: Please.
Q: Do those words come easy for rappers?
A: It’s freedom of speech.
Q: How did Lil' Wayne get his start?
A: Rapping into some rapper’s answering machine, then he got a break from the guy.
Q: Were you near the fights?
A: Naw, wish we were. See our guys kick some butt. We tried to get some purple dank.
Q: Did you?
A: Not telling.
Q: Do you think your “friends” would kick butt if they could? Maybe to impress you?
A: No, they’re weenies. Besides, if they got busted, I’d be stranded for a ride!
Q: Are you open to other music like classic rock and jazz.
A: I am, I bet you’re not.
Q: You’re correct. You have a good bullshit detector.
A: If you lived with my family………..
Q: Do your parents like Lil' Wayne?
A: I don’t live with either of them, I live with my grandma.
Q: Are you rebellious?
A: No. I just can’t stand them fighting. So I left. I got a big ass tattoo of Gang Star on my back. I guess that was a way to rebel and say **** you.
Q: Have they seen it?
A: My mom knows I have it.
B: How ‘bout your dad and grandma?
A: No. I play the modesty card with both of them. They have no idea.
