passions: making music and smoking weed. Tonight, those have come
into conflict. Wayne is sitting on his tour
bus in New Orleans, having come back to
his hometown for two concerts. Hed like
to head into a studio to do some mixing for
Tha Carter III, 2008s most anticipated rap
album. But theres a problem. Wayne isnt allowed to smoke in the studio. So he stays on
the bus, lighting blunt after blunt and watching Animal Planet on the TV. Hell sleep
there tonight for the same reason: Wayne
cant smoke in his hotel room either.
When Wayne speaks, its with that same
voice from his records: a needling, grizzled
croak thats one of the most distinctive
sounds in pop music. On the bus, Wayne
comes off as a funny motherfucker. He leaves
everyone in stitches with a story about how
he had to clean graffiti off a house owned by
Cash Money Records founder Bryan Baby
Williams. We were out there scrubbing for
a day! he shrieks. That shit is still on the
house, nigga! Even after Katrina!
Waynes not always like this. Sometimes

Chuck Berry
After fty years of shoddy
compilations, Berrys
entire 1950s Chess
catalog a whopping
103 songs is nally
available. Five minutely
different takes of
Sweet Little Sixteen
may be too much for
some, but hearing the
rock pioneer labor over
classics like Johnny B.
Goode is like reading
early drafts of the
Declaration of
Independence.
