Lil Wayne's Hilariously Hostile Deposition Video: A Second-by-Second Breakdown

FUSE TV - Lil Wayne's Hilariously Hostile Deposition Video: A Second-by-Second Breakdown

In a convincing argument for cameras in the courtroom, TMZ has released footage of Lil Wayne’s deposition in his case against Quincy Jones III. The rapper sued Quincy Jones’ son earlier this year, claiming he never gave Jones, producer of the 2009 Wayne documentary Tha Carter, permission to use his music in the film. On to the fun part.

The video is a performance art masterpiece that would make Marina Abramović quake with thoughts of mediocrity. In the video above, Wayne thrusts, parries and dodges Jones' lawyer’s questions, alternating between boredom, denial, pride, frustration and threats. Every second is worth watching, but hit Play and follow along with this guide to the best video Wayne’s ever made.

0:06: “Clearly, Lil Wayne answers to no one,” says Katie Couric, as Wayne looks on with a smug look that says, “If this deposition is just showing newcasts about me all day, we’re in good shape." Wayne’s a pro at this point, having been in courtrooms just as much, if not longer, than the judge and lawyer in the video.

0:17: “What’s your name again?,” Weezy asks the lawyer questioning him.

The belittling begins. His name is Pete Ross and he will, soon enough, have a story to tell his daughters, banishing the idea that their dad is some uptight lawyer who never does anything cool. Ross laughs at the question, thinking that maybe, this deposition will actually be fun.

0:27: “Pete Ross, that’s a stupid-ass question.”

It will not.

0:37: Asked if he performed at the Virgin Mobile Music Fest, Weezy just looks at his right hand, admiring his manicure before curling it into a fist, an inauspicious omen of things to come.
