Lil Wayne's Most Memorable Interviews
After Lil Wayne's hilarious deposition interview for the 2009 'Carter' lawsuit surfaced on TMZ and had us in stitches (50 Cent too), we took a minute to compose ourselves then remembered that this wasn't the first time Weezy F Baby has been the subject of struggle interrogation.
We decided to cull up the Young Money CEO's unforgettable interviews throughout the years for the nostalgia. You know the Internets can't save him in the real world.

1. Lil Wayne and Katie Couric
When attorney Pete Ross interrogated Wayne on his interview with Katie Couric, Weezy responded by asking his name then bluntly saying, "that was a stupid a** question."
The on-air Q&A that Ross referenced was an edutaining Grammy special that had us tuned in for three reasons: its bowling alley setting (who knew Weezy had customized balls? no pun), Couric asking the rhymer to navigate his facial ink and him revealing the reason why he dropped the D in his government title Dwayne.

2. Lil Wayne and DJ Drama
Forget the fact that Wayne was dropping the fourth installment to his long-delayed 'Dedication' mixtape series. The interview with DJ Drama on his Hot 107.9 radio show became a classic Weezy soundbite after the Trukfit-toting spitter said rap was second priority to skateboarding.
“I picked up the skateboard and I thought it’d be a hobby and what happened is it’s a lifestyle," he said. "In order to be fully committed, you have to live that lifestyle. With these young kids now, you have to be about that life. It’s kind of putting rap on the back burner. Rap’s taken a backseat to skating.”

3. Lil Wayne and Jimmy Kimmel
While his first attempt at rock/rap/other in the form of "Prom Queen" is something we'd like to forget, this late-night rendezvous with Jimmy Kimmel was one for the ratings. From brushing his diamond-encrusted dentals with Colgate to losing his virginity at (wait for it...) 11-years-old, the comedy just kept on coming.

4. Lil Wayne and Big Tigger
When Big Tigger interviewed Carter on his show 'Blueprint' in 2008 about his dating resume, Weezy swerved and dodged the web rumors by coughing, singing and sipping a cup o' Joe.
"You gotta understand I'm like everybody else and that's the good thing about me," Weezy said, trying to explain the attraction between him and Karinne "Superhead" Steffans.
Watch Tigg knock off a Santa's list of bad ones as Wayne declares his love for an unlikely lady.

5. Lil Wayne on 'The View'
What do you get when you put a spectacled Wayne, four middle-aged women and a daytime talk show together? A gab fest of positive PR. From straight-A student to drama club member to GED-getter in one month, you almost forget this is the same Wayne that put out the 'Dedication 4' mixtape. To see is to believe.
