I just came across this interview Lil Wayne and Birdman did for Rides magazine back in 2006. I've never seen this interview before, but it was pretty cool and even more cooler if you're into your whips.
Rides: I don't think I need to go into how much Katrina affected your hometown.
Baby: It f**ked everything up. Everybody took a setback, so you know...
Rides: How much of a setback?
Lil' Wayne: That boy (pointing to Baby) lost a lot of s**t.
Baby: Yeah, but you know, we got to move on with life. That's our home.
Rides: On the car side of things, how much of a hit did you take?
LW: I just lost two drop-top Jags. But taht boy lost Maybachs...
Baby: Phantoms...like 20 cars.
LW: All kinds of s**t. He had his s**t parked right in front of the crib like, "bam, look at me, b**ch." Then that b**ch Katrina came through and...d**n!
Baby: It messed everything up.
Rides: So, how much did you guys get back on the insurance?
LW: Them b**ches gave me 30 g'z. That wasn't half of how much those ars cost. 30 all together (laughs).
Rides: Baby, last time we spoke (Rides Winter '04) you had about 30 whips, all painted money green, and boasted, "I switch cars like I switch clothes and hoes." What's the color of the moment now, and how many cars are you switchin?
Baby: (laughs) I got eight: Maseratis, Phantoms, Benzes. I just went bak to the red and I'm stickin to it. It's just me, and represents where we're from.
Rides: What are you working with, Weezy?
LW: I got the (Bentley) Red Label Arnage. It's a classic, too, a 1999. I got the CLS 500. I don't know what happened to it, but -
Baby: Your mama got it.
LW: My mama got it?
Rides: d**n, how do you forget that you gave a 500 to your mama?
LW: (laughs) I really didn't know what happened to it. Yeah, I got a Rover, you know everyone got a Rover. I got a boat with like three or four bedrooms, a studio in the boat, a personal chef (nods)...I just got it. Stunna, what you gettin' next? That Saleen S7?
Rides: That's a better addition to your new fleet than the tig ol' bitties Omarosa bought herself.
Baby: That nigga put me on to that new s**t today.
LW: See, if I see something, and I check the price, I'll let him know about it. LIke the Saleen S7, it's like seven, eight hundred. So I let him know, 'cause you never know, he might cop me one (laughs).
Rides: So you buy each other cars?
Baby: To me, if I got it, I want to see him with it. That's just how we rock.
LW: Yeah, it's nothing.
Rides: So I guess that explains the whole matching cars concept you're doing.
LW: We got the whole like father, liks son thing going - with the album and the movement, period. You can see that the Maserati represents me -- young and fast. And the Phantom is the big dog.
Baby: Believe that. Ain't no other way to show it.
Rides: Then do tell how this came about?
LW: S**t, I was in a party in Atlanta and Stunna was like, "come outside, lemme show you something." I went outside and there was teh Maserati with the "Like Father, Like Son: on the florr and s**t. You know B-Stunna likes to show his nuts out.
Baby: That's just us being us, bruh. Just how niggas do.
Rides: So Wayne, you wouldn't consider yourself the flashy type that "show his s**t out"?
LW: Me, I like to be low 'cause I smoke and I don't want to get caught up. (ed. - Ironically, Wayne was arrested on August 14th in Atlanta and charged with possession of less that on ounce of marijuana and controlled substances)
Rides: Right. Anyway, what other new ish are you two trying to cop?
LW: I might get that Laviolette - that's nasty. But that Saleen S7, Stunna gotta get that. Hey, I didn't know the Lamborhini Gallardo is just $165,000.
Baby: Yeah?
LW: I thought it was more than that, but I never checked for it. I looked at the price like, "this b**ch must be used or something." (laughs)
Rides: Just $165,000? That's a bargain for ballers.
LW: We're just doing us. You know I bought 20 acres on Mars? Yeah - the planet MARS. So when s**t f**k up down here, we doing it.
Rides: I think whatever herbal remedy you're inhaling has to be from another planet, whoadie.
LW: Niggas laughing, but they got a space station. You knew that?
Rides: No, but I did hear that down-south bud makes cats a bit delusional.
LW: That nigga George Bush built a space station, man. So when s**t f**k up down here, that nigga gonna live in space and chill. They might have plasma TVs, water and all kinds of s**t up there.
Rides: Okay, I need you to ome back down to Earth for a bit. It seems like everyone in hip hop is doing the same thing when it comes to their cars...
LW: Listen, we started this s**t, period. Rims? You know niggas didn't even want to put rims on their cars at first. That's that man. Stunna did that.
Baby: Believe that bruh. You can see that s**t, you know? See how my lil' nigga is doing it? He's so far ahead from what they're doing. They're still doing the s**t we've done. We so way ahead, so they gonna have to catch up, ya heard?
Rides: Uh...what?
LW: Everything you see, these niggas that started to come with these Lamborghinis and Ferraris and s**t, that was really Busta and Wyclef, back when we were doing how we were doing it. And now we're on that level, you know? We started all that other s**t.
Rides: Yeah, actually, you lost me. But speaking of Busta and 'Clef, Baby, you've been conspiuously absent from the car shows - Flex's celebrity ar show, in particular.
Baby: The ar thing is something that I'll do forever - I'll do that 'til I die. But I ain't really been into that part of it.
LW: I think Flex wouldn't even put Stunna in that no more.
Baby: Believe that, If I come, I'll call the town out so he'd be asking me not to even f**k with it.
Rides: So would you f**k with it if Flex asked, Wayne?
LW: I'd never do that, 'cause in my car I be f**king niggas' b**ches. So I don't want too many niggas knowing my cars like that.
Rides: Believe that.
Baby: It f**ked everything up. Everybody took a setback, so you know...
Rides: How much of a setback?
Lil' Wayne: That boy (pointing to Baby) lost a lot of s**t.
