I have seen a few clips of the highly anticipated and highly unusual Katie Couric Grammy interview with Lil’ Wayne and now that I finally found the full interview, I must share it with the readers. You really see his vulnerability, his maturity, his grasp on his past, his charm, his charisma, his ignorance, his “I am who I am”ness; this interview, shows the world who Lil’ Wayne is, sober, I think.
Couric does an amazing job during the interview. She challenges his ridiculous statements and shows her disbelief of his words. She asks the tough questions about illegal activities and his thoughts on Katrina. During their bowling session, it seems that Katie actually fell for the charm, notice how she holds his arm and her flirtation is in high gear. She looks and behaves a little like a high schooler on a date with a college student, and he plays right into it. He shows his command of the situation and you can tell his is no stranger to entrancing females with his charm. The interview is well done and quite clever and I look forward to Couric’s interviews of more Rap/Hip Hop icons.
