Andy Warhol’s <\/strong>INTERVIEW<\/em>\u00a0Magazine is known for pairing vastly different personalities for interview sessions and they have outdone themselves this time.\u00a0 Paris Hilton<\/strong> sits down with Lil’\u00a0Wayne<\/strong> and gets under the surface with the rap superstar like only she can.\u00a0 See the highlights of the interview inside…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

So what do\u00a0a semi-blue blood socialite and a New Orleans rapper from the projects have in common?\u00a0 Answer….jail.\u00a0 And jail is just one of the topics that came up when socialite and businesswoman Paris Hilton sat down with one of the biggest names in hip hop music.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In their interview they discussed jail time, the perils of fame, photographers, and their new albums.\u00a0 At different points during the interview, INTERVIEW <\/em>contributing music editor Dimitri Ehrlich <\/strong>keeps the conversation moving.<\/p>\n

See highlights of their interview <\/a>here:<\/p>\n

HILTON<\/strong>: And now you\u2019re being called the new king of hip-hop. What do you think of that? Is it something that\u2019s hard to live up to? Or is it exciting to have people say that?
WAYNE<\/strong>: It\u2019s very exciting. I love pressure, so I guess if that brings forth pressure, then I\u2019m up for it. But, you know, titles are titles, and names are names. As long as people remember me forever, that will be enough for me.<\/p>\n

\nHILTON<\/strong>: What\u2019s the most bizarre thing that you\u2019ve ever read about yourself?
WAYNE<\/strong>: The most bizarre thing I\u2019ve ever read about myself is that I was dead. That was kind of weird to read that I\u2019m dead\u2014 mostly because I was reading it. both laugh
HILTON: I read that about myself once, too. It\u2019s pretty bizarre.<\/p>\n

\nLil’ Wayne on his experience with the paparazzi in Miami:
<\/strong>“The only time I ever really witnessed some crazy paparazzi was during my court experiences. Every time I rode up to court, as soon as I jumped out of the truck, they were there to snap, and all in our way to where we couldn\u2019t walk. It\u2019s nowhere near like that around here. But maybe I\u2019m just not that caliber of person that they want to take pictures of me like that.”<\/p>\n

\nLil’ Wayne on discovering Drake and the one thing he has taught him from his own experiences:
<\/strong>“When I first heard Drake, I already knew that he had potential beyond my imagination, because the kid was singing and rapping\u2014and he was rapping real well\u2026So that\u2019s when I already knew that he was gonna blow up, right there. He would\u2019ve done it\u2014with me or not\u2014I just wanted to make sure it was with me. And the main thing I\u2019ve told him, or taught him, for lack of better words, is just to stay humble and remember who you are throughout it all, because there\u2019s gonna be moments in every single day when you\u2019ll have to go back to that person and reflect on that person. You have to self-reflect. If you forget who you actually are, then what\u2019s the use of even looking in the mirror.”<\/p>\n

\nLil’ Wayne on his lyrics:
<\/strong>“I don\u2019t hold nothing back. I do exactly what I want to do, and say exactly what I want to say. Sometimes I consider the fact that I have a daughter, but I also think about the realities of the world\u2026I mean, once I get through that hump, then, like I said, I just say what\u2019s on my mind.”<\/p>\n

\nLil’ Wayne on why his music is the way it is:
<\/strong>“Music is a reflection of who you are, and if those things that you mentioned are what your music is all about, then I guess that\u2019s who you are\u2026I speak about what I speak about, and I guess that\u2019s because I\u2019m a crazy- ass nigga\u2026You have Jay-Z, and he speaks about more corporate things, and I\u2019m quite sure he\u2019s a pretty corporate guy.”<\/p>\n

\nLil’ Wayne and Paris Hilton on solitary confinement:
<\/strong>WAYNE: For me it was okay, because it just meant that I was alone with my thoughts.
HILTON: I had to do 24 nights in solitary. Hilton was held in a separate cell as a safety precaution.
WAYNE: Oh, so you know how it is.
HILTON: Yeah, I know how it is.<\/p>\n

\nHILTON<\/strong>: How happy are you to have your freedom now?
WAYNE<\/strong>: Words cannot explain.
HILTON: Yeah, I know how you feel. laughs It\u2019s the best feeling in the world when you come out.<\/p>\n

\nLil’ Wayne on if he is satisfied with his career:
<\/strong>“I\u2019m nowhere near satisfied and I\u2019m always hungry for more. I\u2019m a very creative person, and the best part about creation is creating. So I always love to come up with new things, new ideas, new thoughts.”<\/p>\n

\nHILTON<\/strong>: Do you believe in horoscopes?
WAYNE<\/strong>: I\u2019ve read horoscopes before and what they say about Libras. But I would actually love to not be what somebody writes down\u2014I don\u2019t want to be described.<\/p>\n

\nHILTON<\/strong>: Do you have any pets?
WAYNE<\/strong>: I like animals, but I only have a few pets. I have a bunch of fish, and I have two sharks. Those are my dudes.
HILTON: Wow. Sharks? Nice.
EHRLICH: How big are the sharks?
WAYNE: One is a little baby, so he\u2019s about a foot or two, or something like that. Then the other one is a good two, two and a half feet, or almost three feet. EHRLICH: So do you have a huge pool for them? Or do they stay in a tank?
WAYNE: They live in a crib\u2026It\u2019s like a little pond under the stairwell in my house. So they swim under there.
HILTON: That\u2019s dope.<\/p>\n

\nParis on what goals she wishes to accomplish by the end of the year:
<\/strong>“I\u2019d really love to finish my album, because I\u2019ve been working on it for so long\u2026I\u2019d also love to just continue doing my businesses, and be more confrontational with people\u2026”<\/p>\n

\nLil’ Wayne on what goals he wishes to accomplish by the end of the year:
<\/strong>“I want to bank a cool $50 million at least. At the end of this year, I want to be able to say that I banked $50 million. Not generated $50 million, but actually banked $50 million.”<\/p>\n

\nWAYNE<\/strong>: I wanna ask you something, Paris. When are you dropping your album?
HILTON<\/strong>: When am I dropping the album?
WAYNE: Yeah. Do you know?
HILTON: Hopefully soon. I\u2019ve been working on it for so long\u2014since my last album Paris, 2006, Warner Bros.. So I want to release it by this summer, because I have a lot of summer bangers. I want to just have it out, because that\u2019s when people love to party.
WAYNE: That\u2019s cool.
HILTON: If I had you on a song too, that would be hot.
WAYNE: That was gonna be my next question. I was gonna ask you, how are you gonna release an album and don\u2019t get me on it?
HILTON: Well, if you would be on the album, then I would be honored. That would be the sickest thing. We should get each other\u2019s phone numbers so we can call each other after the interview or text or something.
WAYNE: Cool. Sounds good.
HILTON: My number is 310-XXX-XXXX.
WAYNE: Okay. I\u2019ll text you my number.<\/p>\n

\nHILTON<\/strong>: \u2026I have a recording studio that I built in my house\u2014and a nightclub too.
EHRLICH: You have a nightclub in your house?
HILTON: I built one, yeah, because I don\u2019t really like to go out as much as I used to, so I just built a club at my house with the studio attached to it.
WAYNE<\/strong>: You\u2019re so fuckin\u2019 rich.
EHRLICH: Do you have a disco ball in there?
HILTON: No, it\u2019s really elegant. Although it has a stripper pole, so maybe it\u2019s not that elegant.
