Interview Magazine: Lil Wayne Interview with Paris Hilton and Dimitri Ehrlich

Within the pages of April’s issue of Interview Magazine is a collision of pop culture as Lil Wayne and Paris Hilton are featured in an extensive interview alongside Dimitri Ehrlich. The piece highlights Wayne’s rise to prominence and his earliest memories in New Orleans. Along the way, the topics also touch upon his music making as well as discovering the likes of Drake (additionally, Drake tells his initial experience meeting Lil Wayne as well). An excerpt of the interview can be seen below with the rest of the digital version of the interview seen over at Interview Magazine.
DIMITRI EHRLICH: How are you guys doing? This is Dimitri. You can just let the interview roll if you want, Paris, but I have one question for both of you to start. Paris, you first: When did you first meet Wayne or what was your first thought about him?
PARIS HILTON: I actually met him when he had a Grammy party in L.A. They called me to host it, and I met him there. But I always thought he was such an incredible artist and so talented. He really has this charisma. When he walks into a room, he just has this power that’s exciting to be around.
EHRLICH: And what about you, Wayne? What was your first memory of meeting Paris?
LIL WAYNE: That was the first time-at that same party. I remember meeting her, and then I think it was, like, 10 minutes later, I looked up and she was deejaying. She was at the dance, she had the mic. It was really nice. She has fun, and I like that. I like people that enjoy life, ’cause I do the same.
HILTON: So what do you like to be called, Wayne or Lil Wayne?
WAYNE: Actually, Wayne is better.
HILTON: I know that you grew up in New Orleans. Did you always know you were going to be a rapper?
WAYNE: I starting rapping when I was 8 years old, so I think when you’re into something at such a young age like that . . . I mean, nobody in the world could have told me I wasn’t gonna be a rapper. So, yeah, I always knew I was gonna be one.
EHRLICH: Who did you look up to when you were 8 years old? Who inspired you to want to be a rapper?
WAYNE: The guys I’m with right now, Cash Money Records. They were pretty big locally in New Orleans and so I always just looked up to them. I mean, they were Cash Money Records way before everybody knew their name, and what I mean by that is that the power they have now, they had then, but just locally in the city. So they were always big. I listened to all their music. That’s probably why I wanted to be with them.
HILTON: And now you’re being called the new king of hip-hop. What do you think of that? Is it something that’s hard to live up to? Or is it exciting to have people say that?
WAYNE: It’s very exciting. I love pressure, so I guess if that brings forth pressure, then I’m up for it. But, you know, titles are titles, and names are names. As long as people remember me forever, that will be enough for me.
HILTON: Do you ever read your own press, or google yourself?
WAYNE: Um, never. I don’t think I’ve ever googled myself. [laughs] But I do read some things that . . . I mean, if I know that I was with an interviewer and I kind of figure that he or she got something bad or something good from the interview, then I’ll read the piece when it comes out. But other than that, I’d have to have a reason to read it-and, usually, I don’t have a reason. So, no, I don’t really read too much, because I know you know that they word things the way they want to word them when they put it on paper.
HILTON: What’s the most bizarre thing that you’ve ever read about yourself?
WAYNE: The most bizarre thing I’ve ever read about myself is that I was dead. That was kind of weird to read that I’m dead-mostly because I was reading it. [both laugh]
HILTON: I read that about myself once, too. It’s pretty bizarre. So what about paparazzi? Have they ever tried to get aggressive with you? Has there ever been an incident where one of them just set you off?
WAYNE: Because I don’t live in L.A., there’s not a lot of that. But when I’ve gone to L.A. and been in the hotel or wherever, I’ve seen how serious the paparazzi is out there-like, they park across the street from the hotel and as soon as you walk out the front door, they jump out and start snapping. I live in Miami, so I really don’t have to deal with that on the same level. The only time I ever really witnessed some crazy paparazzi was during my court experiences. Every time I rode up to court, as soon as I jumped out of the truck, they were there to snap, and all in our way to where we couldn’t walk. It’s nowhere near like that around here. But maybe I’m just not that caliber of person that they want to take pictures of me like that. [laughs]
EHRLICH: So you’re saying that you don’t get that hassled by paparazzi in Miami?
WAYNE: Well, obviously sometimes, because I go out. There’s this thing out here that publishes pictures of people out and about. So when I go out, I do see pictures of myself. I don’t know where those pictures come from-I mean, I don’t see the cameras. But I guess I’m just not looking for them.
HILTON: What’s your favorite club in Miami?
WAYNE: My favorite club in Miami is a club called LIV. It’s in the Fontainebleau Hotel.
HILTON: Oh, I love that club.
WAYNE: Mm-hmm.

Emerging Details: DJ Megatron Approached By Three Men Before Shooting, Possible Reasons For Shooting Revealed

As details are still emerging in the mysterious murder of former BET DJ and Hot 97 personality DJ Megatron, it's being reported that three men approached him before the shooting.  And he may have possibly been involved in a marijuana buy at the time of shooting.  Deets inside...
Former BET host and Hot 97 personality DJ Megatron, who was murdered in Staten Island over the weekend, was on the phone with a friend when gunned down.
Police sources revealed that the shooting occured while DJ Megatron aka Corey McGriff was on the phone with a friend around 2 a.m. on Sunday.  The friend said all of a sudden, the call dropped. 
Sources tell police that three men accosted Corey and were seen fleeing from the scene.  Cops added that a robbery was unlikely because Corey only had $1 in his wallet and his phone was not taken.
Authories are now saying the shooting could have been a result of an unpaid debt.  The New York Post reported that:

"a user named “Megapayup” left veiled threats on Megatron’s YouTube page regarding the alleged debt: 'Who hides and tries to dodge people they owe. . . . So u say ur not gonna pay the bill. . . Bad shyt will stay happening to u, cuz you do bad.' "

Corey leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter Zaharia, a 4-year-old son Zion and a 9-month-old son Isaiah.
Although Corey's cousin, Lisa Davis Alexandra, said Corey's 4-year-old son told her he saw three men approach his father at a bodega, cops have shot down a theory that they boy might have seen the shooting saying he was at home alseep during that time.
His mother, Louvenia McGriff said, 

"They're trying to cope with the situation, especially the 11-year-old.  She's very hurt and upset and doesn't understand why anyone would want to do that to her dad."

Meanwhile, police say Megatron was on his way to buy a cogar and a small amount of marijuana at the time of the shooting.  Allhiphop.com reports:

According to police, DJ Megatron was talking to a friend on a cellphone, as he allegedly drove to buy a cigar and a small amount of marijuana.
Law enforcement is investigating DJ Megatron's homicide as a possible random crime, a planned hit, or a drug deal gone wrong.

Friends remember Corey as a positive person.  "106 & Park" producer Stephanie Hodges told BET.com,

“Mega was the kind of person you would never catch in a bad mood.  His spirit was infectious. For a show like 106, where the energy of our audience is crucial, he was a very important part of our team. We will miss him as our co-worker and as our friend.”

He leaves behind 3 children.  Such a sad situation.

Tension will be in the air as DWTS host Tom Bergeron has said he is hesitant about interviewing Chris Brown after his outburst.
In an interview with Ryan Seacrest he said,

“I did tell the producers it may be to their advantage to not have me interview him, because my natural tendency would be to say something.  So don’t put me in a position where you are asking me to not say something, because I really won’t do that.”

Hmmm.....I can't wait to watch tonight to see their body language towards each other.
