Throwback Thursday: A 16-Year Old Lil Wayne Talks About His Hood 17th Ward Of New Orleans [Video]

In this #ThrowbackThursday clip, we can see a rare Lil Wayne interview with James “Kraze” Billings from back in 1999 when Wayne was just 16-years-old.

While in the 3rd Ward of New Orleans, Weezy can be seeing showing off his “Cash Money” and “17” tattoos on his stomach, as well as talking about his hood 17th Ward and his debut solo studio album, Tha Block Is Hot.

You can check out the #TBT video after the jump below! How crazy is it seeing Tunechi before the dreads and face tattoos?
