Is weezy better high or sober?

I know it sounds like I shouldn’t ask this, but I think it really is a valid question.  I mean, let’s look at some of the video clips... we can see how funny Lil’ Wayne was when he first finds out that “Tha Carter III” sold 1,000,000 records, just babbling on about book drives…and his raps are hilarious, sometimes they don’t even rhyme, and its not like he’s drinking… you know?  Let’s look at his argument in the song “Me and my drink”.  He writes:

hey...do you know that i need ya
Cuz baby right now
It feels like the whole world is against me
Ever since the death of pimp c
But me im up in the studio me and my drank
Me and my drank me and my drank…..
My girl trippin and damn i gotta hear my momma mouth
My home bois say i should slow down a little
But this shit that im on make me slow down a lot

His whole persona is based on being this slow, high guys, and now he is just so present, and his raps are so formulated, he’s been writing them down (!) and its just boring.  He isn’t the same guy he was before.  I am glad that he stopped doing drugs if that’s what he needs, but like his says in a Tim Westwood interview:

“I’ve kind of put the cup down for a minute.  Ain’t nothing in the cup right now….but honestly its nobody’s goddamn business what’s in my cup, what’s in your cup, what’s in their cup.  Its your cup.  Drink it.  Die.  Kill yourself if that’s what you want to do.  Who knows?  Who knows what’s in the cup?  It could be prune juice.  Who knows?.... Its not a beautiful thing ‘cuz no one knows what’s in the cup.  Unless you come up and take a sip from my cup how can you say it’s a beautiful thing?  Also, when people drink alcohol, they react like they’ve been drinking acohol.  So whatever was in my cup, the only reaction I had was get more popular, did a lot more things that I ever did, picked up a guitar, learned how to play a guitar, started using autotune, stretched my voice, and become number one in the country with everything I’ve dropped.  Maybe I should pick the cup back up.”

This quote is very telling.  He did have a lot of success when we was drinking syrup, so why stop?  He talks now about how happy he is to be sober, but he was right.  The fans liked him more when he was high.
