what? maybe i didn't get a word of wat he was saying. because to me the video went a little something like this:
---
wayne, do you have anything enlightening to say?
"listen, steve jobs died guys. that's serious. you know, that makes me think of how you dont know what you have until its gone. nobody appreciated steve jobs when he was alive. steve jobs was a genius. i'm a genius. people better appreciate me. so when i die, i think people will remember me, not just as the greatest rapper alive, but also as the greatest rapper ever period. because i wont be alive. so that's an oxymoron. but it makes sense when i say it, because i'm a genius"

"let's take a walk outside. look at this bugatti. i didnt buy this to show it off. i bought it because i like it. camera man, get a good shot of this. do you see this bugatti? i'm not trying to show it off. but this is a hard plate. i own this bugatti that youre seeing right now. but im not stunting."
so wayne, you're not trying to stunt when as youre showing off your very expensive car?
"look, this car cost 1.8 million dollars. i didn't buy this to stunt. i spent 1.8 million dollars of my money because i can. because im rich. when i bought this, they called me the barack obama of the bugatti. i didn't come up with that. they did. i dont go around referring to myself as the barack obama of bugatti, but that's what im now known as. who's the barack obama of bugatti? i am the barack obama of bugatti. but other people say that. not me. i dont say barack obama of bugatti."
woah wayne you got some nice shit. this is like an episode of MTV cribs.
"NO! i'm not trying to stunt ok!!?! this is not MTV cribs. look at the lawn, its messy. now, let's check out my skate ramps, guitar collection, and in-house studio. oh, and a plug: cop the new young money debit card"

wayne, so you're like the leader of the syrup movement...
"no i'm not. i started sipping syrup because UGK did it. i didn't do it to be cool. i did it to be like those guys in UGK, who were pretty cool. but when i started, nobody knew what it was and nobody else did it. so there's no way i could have done it to be cool. now i'm gonna talk all this syrup lingo. i bet you dont even know what i'm saying huh? you're so uncool. anyways, its like, i wore jerseys then other people stated wearing jerseys. if you think jerseys are cool, start wearing jerseys. but once everyone wears jerseys, its not cool anymore. so to sum it up, i was prescribed syrup by a doctor. that's why i started drinking syrup. because being famous is like torture, and syrup was forced on me by a doctor. so dont go around telling everyone that wayne started this syrup movement to be cool. i dont even drink syrup anymore. im above that. now i drink tea. see? and look that this bottle of syrup that i have on hand. its unopened."
so wayne, you're saying its not cool to just follow someone else's lead because you think they're cool?
"no, it is cool. look at all my tattoo. i have them all over my body. all over. even on my dick. woah, actually i'm not gonna show that one. but i got this belly tat. i got it because pac had a belly at. dont be afraid to tell people you're doing something because you saw someone else do it, and you want to be like them. it's ok tell. tell people that you started skating because wayne's skating. tell people you started drinking syrup because wayne started drinking syrup. wait, no. dont say that part about syrup. but say the part about skating. i'm a skater now and anyone else who starts skating now is probably just copying me."
so wayne, why did you start skating in the first place? how come you suddenly started wearing shorts, vans, and high knee tube socks? is it because you saw tyler doing it and you wanted to be like him?
"no. it's because i'm passionate about it. im skating for real. see this shit? i bought a portable skateboard ramp. i have a skateboard in my house. i can go up and down on this shit on my balcony. i'm serious about it because i spent money on it. which i can do because i'm rich. but i'm not stunting. which bring me back to steve jobs..."
