Birdman & Cortez Bryant Speak To CNN On How Prison Has Changed Lil Wayne "He's Reading More, Learned Patience, But Still Bossed Up" [Video]

Video After The Jump "Just a different lifestyle...we rich, so we come from a different lifestyle. That's [going] from something to nothing, so yeah it's a big adjustment." Cash Money CEO Birdman and Cortez Bryant, President of Young Money Enertainment, sat down with CNN to talk about how prison has changed superstar rapper Lil Wayne. "You know he's at a standstill," says Birdman. "When we out here and we be moving like we be moving, everything fast. But when you're in that cell you get to see things different. You don't ever come out the same way you go in. So [he's] probably just reading more, learning about life. It's a hell of an experience, we never thought he'd experience being locked up because that's not something we design for ourselves." While Wayne has been gone, two of his Young Money artists have started to come into their own. Drake's debut album 'Thank Me Later' has gone platinum. And Nicki Minaj's buzz has gone through the roof, as she preps her first disc 'Pink Friday.' Which is set to drop just a couple of weeks after Wayne's November 5 release date. Wayne has even dropped an album himself. 'I Am Not A Human Being' was released last week. Cortez sees a couple of other silver linings as well. "I think the biggest thing, that he even laughs about is patience. Everything's slowed down now, Like B said we live this fast life, and we were getting it the last couple of years," Cortez says. "So now everything's slowed down, he sees things clearer and he's got a lot of patience." Even though he's locked up, Birdman insists Weezy is still calling the shots for his YM crew. "Wayne's still intact of everything that's going on. Still calling shots, doing things and making sure the artists are on point. Just working, being in tune to what's going on, {he's still} bossed up." twitter-5d.gif
