Katie Couric is one of the few good interviewers around. She gets beneath the surface, but I have never seen her get insulting or rudely intrusive. She asks challenging questions but remains amicable. She makes it relaxed and friendly but does not cow tow. She gives lead up information without egotistically yammering on like so many bloated interviewers. She allows the guest to answer the questions without talking over them. So many interviewers make these mistakes.

[@buschtrout1499]

I thought it was interesting that the reasons people did that back in the 90s is because New Era caps were getting popular and a lot of fakes were being made. So people used to keep the stickers on as proof it was authentic. Nowadays people keep the stickers or tags on as a style or making the statement they’re so fresh the tag still on it.

It is actually quite common for an epileptic person to never have experienced a seizure until later in life. I never experienced my first seizure until I was 30. 1 in 10 people can experience a seizure in their life time and 1 in 100 are epileptic. It is all to do with how your brain is wired. But once you know you are epileptic or partial to seizures you have to work to stop your triggers... get more sleep, don't have alcohol or drugs, drink lots of water, eat clean, work out, drink Gatorade (because it helps with low blood sugar, low sodium and dehydration ... all of which are seizure triggers). Making these life style changes and working with a neurologist you can control seizures and live a normal life ;)

I have seizures. As a musician myself I think I vibe with Wayne for that reason so much. I had them when I was a kid, then just had one recently. So strange. Looks like it was dehydration this time no one really knows. This should be more talked about.

[@whitneymiller5139]

You are so right! One time my blood pressure dropped to a dangerously low level. Luckily I was already in the er so I could call out for help. Turns out it was because I hadn't had any fluids for like 8 hours at that point. I definitely felt like I was in seizure territory. Staff said they never see BP as low as mine useless the patient is coding.

[@KennyPowersUrOut]

Lil Wayne had been my fav rapper alive for years I legit started having seizures outta nowhere around same time he did. Know idea why I saw this interview where he explained he passed out as kid and that was a sign of it being epileptic. I asked my mom and if I ever had any kinda episodes like passing out found out when I was 4 or 5 I passed out playing in back yard they chalked it up to dehydration back then. But now I'm told I'm a Lil epileptic as well. I haven't had one in years now wouldn't wish it on my worse enemy tho it's horrible to have seizure forreal. Wife held me crying kid was crying I asked paramedic if I was dieing and when they told me know I was gonna be ok I could see they was questioning themselves while they said it. So scary. (And yes I use to be on pain pills pretty bad 15 or 20 perks a day seizures started few months after I got into a clinic and got sober.)

this is fucked. anyone else with the same addiction and same health problem's is looked at as a piece of trash, imprisoned and ran thru the system.. they don't get a friendly "You need to cut back"

[@KLAStudioProductions]

Well, by what you are saying, it seems like you yourself are calling him trash. And so, what? How are you any better than those who insult the "everyone else" category? If he is, it would reflect; and it doesn't. Lil Wayne is an icon in my eyes, but from an unbiased point, he has helped communities, individuals, organizations, and become a very positive influential super-star. Lil Wayne has got himself on and off drugs whenever a time called for it. So can he? Yes. And most people, don't. But the average citizens, if not arrested like Lil Wayne who was, go to institutions, rehab, through self-withdrawal, etc. Do not make a judgement because he does drugs, or has a health condition. He has actively stated that he does not, for one second, want someone to do drugs. He hopes his music is the next drug. And coming from a dearest fan, I look up to him in a lot of ways. If you dislike him so much, leave the channel, and don't comment.

[@jamaljones4644]

I'm not saying I'm any better, I'm saying when it comes to being an addict or even a casual user he shouldn't get off any easier than the rest of us. coming from someone who's been locked in a cage, robbed blind and humiliated by my city because I chose to ingest something 'they' don't agree with. I just find it absolutely ridiculous that I've lost month's of my life I WILL NEVER GET BACK because I had a fucking joint, yet people like your hero here and snoop dogg can walk up to Obama blazing a blunt and just because they are/were in the media's eye they get a free pass

[@jamaljones4644]

it's so heroic for a music star to kick the dope, but for you and me it makes us look like trash and no matter how much we change and better ourselves that label of a user will never go away.

[@KLAStudioProductions]

Actually, I find it to look heroic on anyone's account when they better themselves. I know first hand myself. And Lil Wayne did not get off on his charges, he served his time in a cage too; he was also humiliated; and by what you are saying, is looked at no differently. All a matter of perspective.
