Even the busiest, most hard-working artist and self proclaimed "best rapper alive" has to take some time to reflect and collect his thoughts, which is why the Lil Wayne Public Service Announcement is such an interesting watch and a definite must see for fans of Weezy.
Speaking on topics ranging from the death of Apple CEO Steve Jobs (Wayne says people really "don't know what they had 'til it's gone" and calls Jobs a great innovator) to his former habit of drinking cough syrup to his new-found love for skateboarding, the Lil Wayne Public Service Announcement lets fans get a glimpse into the mind of the rapper.
Weezy even gets a little bit dark, pondering whether or not people will remember him as an innovator when he dies. "I became Lil Wayne and then Lil Wayne became a machine...and when you become a machine people demand...production from you at all times," explains Wayne of his intense work ethic.
The Lil Wayne Public Service Announcement is a 28 minute long look into the not so cohesive mind of the rapper, as it jumps from one topic from another with seemingly no connecting factors in between. But isn't that what fans love about Weezy, after all?
