Lil Wayne reveals he can't remember most of his discography because of his bad memory that he calls a 'curse' and 'gift'
Lil Wayne is a prolific rapper who has released 285 songs over his 24-year career.
He's released 13 studio albums, one collaboration, three compilations and 29 mix tapes.
But don't ask him to wax poetic on the differences between his Tha Carter albums or to list off his favorite of his songs because he doesn't remember due to having a bad memory.
In an interview with Rolling Stone he said: 'I’m going to be so honest with you: I don’t know Tha Carter III, Tha Carter II, Tha Carter One from Tha Carter IV.'
'And that’s just my God’s honest truth. You could lie, you could ask me [about] such and such song, I wouldn’t even know what we talking about. So it holds no significance to me at all.

Performer: In an interview with Rolling Stone he said: 'I’m going to be so honest with you: I don’t know Tha Carter III, Tha Carter II, Tha Carter One from Tha Carter IV'
He continued: 'I don’t even know if that’s when Tha Carter III came out. That’s how much I don’t know. I work every day, bro — every single day.
'And also, I always look at it as the curse part of the gift and the curse. I believe that [God] blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give [me] an amazing memory to remember this amazing shit,' he admitted.
The outlet asked the forgetful rapper how he differentiated between all of his various projects with his bad memory.
The Lollipop singer said the effects and tone of the songs, whether it is a Tha Carter song or a DJ Drama song or whatever make them stand out for him.
And he doesn't have a favorite song of his, either.
'My favorite song is the last one I record. And then I will forget it after the next one I record,' he said.
But despite his memory, the Sucker for Pain rapper is still focused on being the best rapper on the planet.
He said he's pursuing that goal with: 'Every single action, every single word, every single approach. The reason why I’m still only listening and working on my own sh-t is because I’m in it.'

Blessing and curse: 'And also, I always look at it as the curse part of the gift and the curse. I believe that [God] blessed me with this amazing mind, but would not give [me] an amazing memory to remember this amazing shit,' he admitted

'I believe once you start trying to listen to everybody else, you ain’t in it no more. You just happy to be here. But not me. I’m in a gym working on my own game. I don’t care how high you jumping. I don’t care how fast you run. You can’t even stand next to me with that s**t,' he added.
The Formula rapper also isn't intimidated by the new generation of rappers.
'The motivation isn’t to show them that I’m still that dude, which I am. The motivation is to show them why I’m still that dude,' he told the outlet.
'That’s the motivation, because I want them to hopefully get something from that and they continue to still be whoever the dude or woman they are.'
