Out of the mouth of gangstas. Or, Lil Wayne says (quote of the day)...

"Ganstas don't ax questions." But they do answer questions from Katie Couric...

Lil Wayne and "Miss Katie" in a pre-Grammy interview:

And the quote of the day...

"Music is another form of journalism." Agreed. And I think people need to be reminded that all types of contemporary music - popular, art music, opera etc. - are hugely relevant artistic outlets that often can and do deal directly with our culture and "news." However, I'd amend that statement just a tad and say "editorial journalism," Mr. Wayne (er...um...is it Mr. Lil?). Mostly because I think the general consensus is that journalism requires questions, gansta or not...

Other thoughts: 1. Lil Wayne did a better job in this interview than Sarah Palin did in hers. Yikes. 2. We believe you are gansta. You don't have to tell us. Two words: eyelid tattoo.

you think he hit that after the interview?

judging by k.c.'s body language (holding his arm, leaning in, etc.)...i think it is safe to say yes.
