"I'd bust a n***a's a** at Uno," Weezy told Rolling Stone. "We gamble for phone time. I'd take n***a's commissary: Lemme get them cookies, lemme get them chips, get that soup."

"They'd be like, 'Oh, we thought you were asleep,'" said Lil Wayne. "Like you can't look inside my cell and see that I'm right there! We ain't got no doors!"

When he wasn't playing Uno, he was reading.

"Kiedis' Scar Tissue was really good," he said. "I also read the Bible for the first time. It was deep! I liked the parts where some character was once this, but he ended up being that. Like he'd be dissing Jesus, and then he ends up being a saint. That was cool."

Lil Wayne spent his last month in solitary after he was caught with an iPod charger. But he owes another inmate some love after he took the blame for Weezy's watch with an mp3 player inside it.

"He was a solid n***a," he said. "Shout-out to Charles...Solitary was the worst. No TV. No radio. No commissary. Basically you're in there 23 hours a day."

"I used to sit at that motherf***er all day," Weezy explained.
