The album. i ll give it to you and you tell me. but i think it will become trivia name the only album that has lil wayne and kenny g. on it. it s true. i m pretty sure. i don t know if there s a way to double check that, but i m pretty sure. man, we did this record. that s crazy. lil wayne and kenny g. what does that tell us about your spread? we re used to features, collabs, and there s such a rich tradition because hip-hop grows out of the jazz, soul, funk tradition. are you as comfortable with kenny as weezy? i m absolutely comfortable. that s the thing about it. there s always these forces that are trying to limit us. and there s always forces that are trying to make you be one thing. make you be lesser than what you are and all of us as human
We d do this throughout the world, it would feel like there was this rolling processional musical love riot going on. how much of that would play into the spirit of who we are? that was a big thing in new orleans, the second line tradition for when someone passes away.away. then if you take that inspiration and that evolves in my life and in my generation into the love riot with stay human. and then you build that concept of social music, which for me is the idea of what was music before it was entertainment, all those early forms of music in communities. and how do you integrate that with contemporary sounds and contemporary ideas. so you have that tradition, the line in new orleans. you have your take on it. and you have you doing it, improv, then turning it into something that s the more traditional album. and then fast forward, you re doing the line at, what, the french u.s. state dinner.
