"And they were asked, you know, like 'Why you ain't been doing, you know music, or whatever?' And they was like, "Man, like what I'm going to talk about? I'm in my 40s like what am I going to talk about?'"

"'Like what you want to know about me?...You want to know about what I'm doing about the life I'm living at this age and the things I'm doing? Like what am I supposed to talk about?'" Wayne continued.

"I was like, 'Wow, that was so depressing.' Like, I have everything to talk about," Weezy added.

Wayne later explained that he doesn't listen to the radio or anyone else for that matter. The rap veteran stated that he goes into the studio and rap about things that are on his mind. And if the lyrics connect with the people, then mission accomplished.

"There's this misconception that I just won't do it," he said. "I think people feel like I'm sitting around on rap albums, or sitting around and I'm just not putting them out in that way. And no it's not like that."

André continued: "In my mind, I really would like to make a rap album. So maybe that happens one day, but I got to find a way to say what I want to say in an interesting way that's appealing to me at this age."
