Rolling Stone, Photo by Jonathan Mannion
Not sure if thread worthy, but anyways.. Remember the talks of a Rolling Stone Cover Story in the Carter Doc? Well the reason it didn't happen was probaly Wayne's fault..
Zach Wolfe shot this photograph shortly before Lil Wayne’s masterful 2008 album, “Tha Carter III,” was released. The day before, Lil Wayne had walked out of a Rolling Stone photo shoot after only six minutes in front of the cameras. And he showed up for his shoot with Wolfe six hours late. “In the years I’ve done this, I can’t think of an album that was more anticipated than that one,” Wolfe says. “That album, in the months before it came out, it was a mythical thing.” And because Wolfe isn’t the typical photographer — he’s a rap lover first, photographer second — he hit it off with Lil Wayne and spent two hours shooting him. “That dude, there’s no one like him,” Wolfe says. “He was just a photographer’s dream shoot.”
