So Canada’s goofiest and best-prepared music interviewer Nardwuar the Human Serviette convinced his buddy Drake to hook up an exclusive video interview with Lil Wayne during the I Am Still Music tour stop in Vancouver this week (the Young Money bus rolls to Calgary tonight), and the results are predictably entertaining.
Nardwuar conducts his trademarked prop-heavy interview (is this guy not the Carrot Top of music journalists?) and starts off with some light topics, such as Nicki Minaj’s penchant for doling out onstage lap dances to famous dudes.
Lil Wayne on the Steve Nash lap dance incident: “I think his was a little better than mine because he looked more excited than I did. So I need to talk to Nicki about that.”
But for music nerds (present company included), things get interesting when Nardwuar starts dragging out New Orleans relics and gets Wayne talking about early Cash Money and N.O. bounce music. Great to see Pimp Daddy, Gregory D, MC Thick, and the Showboys’ “Triggerman” beat get shouted out in a high-profile Q&A.
Anyone else feeling a little snackish for some hot chips?
