Complex: So if you have 270 songs and nobody's heard them, how do you get paid off them?
LIL WAYNE: Tax and little shit. When niggas get shit that be leaking, we gotta figure out a way to beat this leak shit-out of 200 something songs, you're going to get songs leaked, so that's why I just do everyone at the same ability or hype. I try to top the last songs I've done basically. Now we've found a little way, we can actually, I don't know if you can-but we sell the songs to a company that wants them, most of the time ring tones.

C: Do you think that having so many songs out for free makes people not want to pick up the album?
LIL WAYNE: No, I think if that's the case then you're stupid because you read the whole play wrong. When you hear me on everybody's beat, that's my promotion, I am my promotion. I sat down with my team at Universal, and I had to let them know I don't want a street team. I was like, "I don't want you to have to tell a person to play Lil Wayne's album or please can you spin this, I don't want that, I want those motherfuckers calling y'all like, 'where the fuck is that Lil Wayne album?'" I'm my best promotion, straight up, I get better on everything you hear, every song you hear you think it's mine and some people be actually upset that it isn't.

C: Is there a statement you're trying to make with the album?
LIL WAYNE: Nah...not at all, not at all, I don't make statements, I make moves.

C: Do you think your life has a meaning?
LIL WAYNE: Yeah it does, of course. I don't care, I'm not worried if it has a meaning to the world-but to my family and friends, yes my life has a meaning, I live through them.

C: So if you were to pass away, what would you want the statement of your life to be, how would you want to be remembered by the world?
LIL WAYNE: I can't answer that question either because if I tell you how I want a motherfucker to perceive me while I'm [young], then I need to be pinched because I got too much bullshit time on my hands to tell you what another person should be thinking about me, fuck no. I can see red out of my eyes, you can see blue so people love me, people hate me, people like me, people never heard of me. I can't answer the question for all those people.
