California’s Los Angeles One of the most popular and significant musicians of this century, rapper Lil Wayne, admitted in a recent interview that he can’t recall writing the majority of the songs he’s ever done.
Born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., Lil Wayne, 40, talked about his nearly three-decade career in an interview with Rolling Stone that was released on June 10. The five-time Grammy winner admitted that he had difficulty distinguishing between most of his earlier record releases.
To be completely honest with you, I have no idea who Tha Carter III, Tha Carter II, or The Carter One is in comparison to Tha Carter IV. And that’s the plain, unvarnished trutҺ, Wayne said to Rolling Stone. You could lie and ask me about a certain music, and I wouldn’t even understand what you were talking about. Therefore, it has no meaning for me at all.
Regarding “Tha Carter III,” for which Wayne received the 2009 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, he admitted he had no idea when the record was actually published.
“I’m not even sure if Tha Carter III was released at that time. That’s the extent of my ignorance, he declared.
Wayne has openly discussed his epilepsy in the past, including a 2013 hospital admission due to seizures, and he blames it for his memory loss. The Epilepsy Foundation states that one health problem that is frequently linked to and reported with epilepsy is memory loss.
Wayne told Rolling Stone, “I always look at it as the curse part of the gift and the curse.” “I think that although God gave me this incredible mind, He did not give me an incredible memory to remember this incredible (expletive).”
Wayne stated he has no intention of retiring anytime soon, despite having epilepsy and memory loss. He claimed that he currently spends around 20 verses a day working on multiple songs. According to Rolling Stone, he has also finished “ColleGrove 2,” the follow-up to his 2016 album produced in partnership with 2 Chainz.
“I was born this way when you’re an artist, a true artist like myself,” Wayne remarked. Therefore, I don’t believe that the genuine artists and pioneers ever stop working. They lost their lives in the process.
