LL Cool J and Fat Joe discuss Lil Wayne’s Super Bowl snub.
LL Cool J recently sat down with Fat Joe for his new talk show on STARZ, where the rap icon weighs in on Lil Wayne’s stance after being snubbed by Super Bowl halftime show in his hometown, which will be headlined by Kendrick Lamar.
“Lil Wayne is one of the most talented dudes on the planet, period. He’s one of our great artists, he’s an unbelievable writer,” he said. “He’ll have his day… let Kendrick get that. Let’s keep it moving. I never did the Super Bowl.”
“Wayne comes from a very proud state, Louisiana, and a very proud city, New Orleans. But this is the thing – your time will come, you’ll have your day… You can’t let that break you.” He continued: “The only reason it makes me laugh is because I know how blessed he is, I know how successful he is. So he don’t need to worry about that moment. It’s just a moment, bro. It’s just one moment. It happens.”
“Let me put it into perspective – I’m in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I got not put in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame it felt like 999,000 times before I got in. It didn’t break me. I didn’t even make a comment. As a matter of fact, I laughed.”
“These are champagne problems. There are guys who can’t get their demo listened to. I think we get a little bit kind of, unintentionally, spoiled. It’s like, ‘Yo, man. You a bad boy.’ Wayne is crème de la crème.”
