Weezy Covers Vibe Says Beef is for 'Old Guys'


Lil Wayne covers this month's Vibe Magazine and touches on his infamous line about kidnapping Beyonce [click here if you missed that] while insisting beef is for old guys...

From Vibe
"There's no competition [with any artists]. Music isn't about competition no more. All the gangster rappers are happy, all the skateboard rappers are happy, all the white rappers are happy... Everybody just happy to do music these days. There are no problems. That shit died a long time ago with them old-ass rappers. We are just making music, making money and having fun feeding our families. Competition is for the old guys."

VIBE: You say competition is for the "old guys," but it sounds like you're going at Jay-Z with that line, "I got your baby money/Kidnap your bitch, get that how-much-you-love-your-lady money." Are we looking at it the wrong way?

LIL WAYNE: I know for a fact, music is about perception. You can't do anything but perceive what you hear. If I know that for a fact, I can never be upset about someone's reaction to it. I'm not gonna say I don't know what will happen before I say it [on record]. I do know what will happen. I am aware of it. It is what it is.

VIBE: So you knew the repercussions of going after Jay before anything even happened?

LIL WAYNE
: Well, I'm a man. I believe as a man you should know that. Every man should know the repercussions and consequences behind whatever they do before they do it. And of course, I know there won't be any repercussions behind what I did.
