I recently read a news story about how Lil Wayne launched a new blog from jail. It seems like he is trying to utilize a blog to keep his brand alive. He is also selling t-shirts that say 'Free Weezy.' Instead of letting people think he is a 'criminal' who is 'getting his ass pounded' behind bars, he wants people to know he is having a 'deep, reflective experience.'
Love. Live. Life. Proceed. Progress. That’s who I am and who I’ll always be. You see, we’re all living on borrowed time, so I’m not worried about this situation. Life happens quick. The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done…you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future. So for my time here, my physical will be confined to the yard. My love and my spirit, however, know no boundaries.
I have always been afraid 2 go 2 jail because I thought it was a place where you don't have any rights, you eat dog food slop, and you get 'raped in the ass' until you murder some1 to prove that ur 'a prison baller.' It seems like a scary place (based on the movies I have seen about prison). I wouldn't have the same freedoms I have in normal society if I lived in a prison. There would be no HD TV, no personal space, no macbooks, no memes, no youtube videos, no retail shopping opportunities, no high quality fast food, and tons of minorities/uneducated ppl who don't care how 'alt' u r.
Wonder how Lil Wayne is blogging. Is there some sort of computer lab where all of the prisoners can go to watch pornography, update their twitters, change their myspace layouts, pay their cable bill, and email with their family?
If they do have a computer lab, I hope they have really shitty computers that have a bunch of spyware slowing them down.
Wonder if he has his own room with a Macbook computer. He can chill in bed while he blogs, then other prisoners might shank him in the middle of the night 2 try to steal his Macbook
It seems unfair that Lil Wayne gets to blog from jail. I feel like he did something that was harmful to society, so he should be banned from having internet privileges. Wonder if all prisoners get the same treatment he gets. I imagine him sitting in a room watching MTV / ESPN, eating pringles, doing drugs, and just living life in some sweet room.
Does n e 1 know if racism in jail exists? [via American History X]
Maybe he joined a sweet Mexican prison gang
If I lived in the same prison as Lil Wayne, I would probably try to bro down hard with him, then expect a job from him when we get out of jail.
It seems 'bad for America' that we can glorify this bro who is 'behind bars.' H8 how rappers think that they get more 'cred' if they go to jail, because they have more content to rap about. Always need to prove that they 'aren't scared' and that they have 'overcome difficult circumstances' to evolve into a human who rhymes about 'having sex with tons of girls with big asses.' Feel like maybe Obama should pass a law that rappers have to retire when they go to jail in order to keep them from setting a bad example for white American kids.
Sorta wish OJ Simpson had a blog. Feel like people want to hear what that bro is up 2.
Wonder if Lil Wayne will end up 'preferring life on the inside', then when he is about to be released, he will perform a crime to stay behind bars instead of having to deal with the outside world.
Should I send him a care package? Might send him a knife baked into a batch of herbal brownies.
Is Lil Wayne able to get the drugs he needs behind bars?
Should blogging be allowed behind bars?
Should Lil Wayne get the death penalty?
Should prisoners only be allowed to read 5th grade reading level books?
Is life in prison like the Shawshank Redemption? American History X? The Green Mile?
Is Lil Wayne a 'prison wife' [via sodomy]?
R u scared to go to jail, or does it seem like a chill place where you can have a cute lil blog / tumblr? Has n e 1 ever been to jail/prison? Feel free 2 share ur experiences and levels of internet privileges in the comments.
Analysis: I feel 40% 'more willing' to listen to Yacht since they signed with DFA. I think this song is possibly better/worse than I think it is, and might be the type of song that 'defines a summer' in an accidental way because it was relatively inoffensive, seemed kinda fun, and it lends itself to placement on multiple mixCDs/playlists.
Yacht's brand is 'about to be very strong' since they will be grandfathered into 'fun music that is dancey that P4k honors as being authentic.' Sort of wish I had been into them 2 years ago, and accidentally went to one of their shows on a school night, had fun, and totally 'got' them even though most people didn't. They seem pretty 'artist-y.'
[MP3] Memory TapesLast One Awake (Friend Version) Analysis: I think that Memory Tapes is the next 'conceptual-ish' band to 'really look out for' in terms of blowing up a hype bubble. I think that if they put together 30-45 minutes of 'solid music' in an LP, they will probably become one of the most 'listenable' products of 2k10-2k15. Sort of like AnCo pre-MPP, back when you could just 'chill' and listen to them. FEel like I would 'actually' describe them as 'a band that would open for AnCo, except they are actually good.' MemCassy is more 'electro' and possibly has 'more pop sensibilities' than most modern 'conceptual bullshit music.'
Analysis: This is a song by Lil Wayne about NBA player, Kobe Bryant, who will begin his pursuit of his first NBA championship without the help of Shaq "OMG he has a sillie Twitter" O'Neal. In the song, Lil Wayne honors Kobe by talking about 'how great' he is. I am not sure how I feel about Kobe Bryant. He has always been a bad teammate, and he also 'forced himself' upon some white girl in Colorado. He seems like 'a huge fraud', but not sure if he is actually 'lying' because I don't think he really has a 'true self.'
I don't know how I feel about the current generation of NBA stars. I feel like it is 'kinda forced.' I feel angry that I have to 'suck LeBron James's dick' even though he has never won an NBA championship.

Can't believe I missed the Grammys. Feel really 'out of the loop.' Just want to connect 2 'pop culture' since it is kind of the fabric of society that relates us all.
Kinda feel like this picture represents the state of modern music.
In this picture is everything that we want.
We want bloggable content with stars who attract viewers by saying zany things and being progressive enough to blurb about.
Did yall hear M.I.A. is pregnant?
Are yall excited about how twitter gives u such direct and instant access 2 ur fave celebs while they are at a meaningful event like the Grammys?
[via diplo's drunken memes during the Grammys blogspottwitter]
Have yall read about how America doesn't have any good artists n e more, and how we have to import our culture from France/the UK/Australia/Jappy-an/Scandinavia/Estonia in order to stay on the cutting edge of global alt status?
Fortunately, NME compiled a list of bands that have kept America c00l.
According to NME, these r 25 bands that r 'making America cool again.' I think they got some of them wrong.
HRO [EXCLUSIVE] BREAKDOWN 1 Vampire Weekend- is it Alt to hate them? or is it alt-er to transcend 'hating them'? or is it alt-est to pretend you don't really know who they are? 2 Lil Wayne - filling the quarterly demand for a rapper that it is [highly regarded] as being historically significant by white people who like to pretend that pop-rap is an important reflection on the social evolution of African Americans that they feel tolerant about 'identifying with' 3 Glass Candy- a band making your electroblog authentic again/ 1 band with the #1 MILF in alt music 4 Kings Of Leon - I have heard 1.5 of their songs. They will probably be around forever and I will never give them a chance. 5 MGMT - Please direct your attention to this post about why uninteresting people think they are supposed to like MGMT. 6 Spank Rock - 1 post-post-ironic sex-core think-piece rapper. If I were a black person, I would h8 him for 'making fun of us and thinking he is s00 smart/artsy.' 7 TV On The Radio - I think they would choose to be from another country if they had the opportunity, since it would make them 'more authentic.' 8 Boy Crisis - with a name like that, they are probably going after the market of people who like to say 'GIRL TALK'. But SRSLY...who is that? 9 Black Kids - 1 band that I will never learn the difference between them + The Cool Kids 10 Holy Ghost Revival -Is this HOLY GHOST! or some different band? 11 The Hold Steady - for some reason I think this band is from the emo-era of 2k0 12 Fleet Foxes- Am I not a good American if I haven't bothered to look into finding a way to appreciate them? Does n e 1 know if they are meaningful? Or are they one of those post-2k8 semi-meaningful-authentic bands that probably should have come around in 2005 so they wouldn't be cannibalized by blogs. (Being cannibalized by bl0gs only works for electro-ish artists, but they aren't expecting to get paid.) 13 Amazing Baby - Have they been blggd abt? They might as well be a local band that I ignore. 14 Jay Reatard - He has an interesting name, but otherwise, I shouldn't know who he is. Does n e 1 know if he is retarded IRL? Is that his stage gimmick? 15 HEALTH - I wonder what these concept bros are up to. Is there a HEALTH backlash after 2 many remixes? 16 The Cool Kids - 1 band that I will never learn the difference between them + The Black Kids 17 Black Lips - Do they sing the song about Hurricane Katrina? Are they one of those bands like NO AGE that sux, but 'people appreciate them'? 18 Yo Majesty - With that kind of name, they are either an overweight black rapper, or a UK 'highly regarded' retro-ish band 19 White Denim - another band that high-end alts acclimate themselves to since GVB enjoys them. I <3 the power of the gorillvsbear. It's cool because I have been GVBed, therefore, I am significant. 20 Telepathe - Sounds like they are from France. 21 Iglu & Hartly - Huh? They must have gone to high school with the magazine editor. 22 Chester French -Who? 23 Girl Talk - I wonder if he'd be bigger if he was from France/Japan? Based on the fact that he is on this list, it means that he is America's #1 DJ. R u comfortable with that? I'd rather have him representing us in the DJ Olympics instead of some guido/eurotrash d-bag playing tacky thump-house music. 24 The Death Set - they probably have a ghey logo/ gheyer fans 25 Grace Jones - Is that the woman who looks like she is made out of plastic/used to be a mummy?
If NME really wanted to help rebuild America's image, they should have written an article that declared 'all other countries bl0w/r full of inauthentic 'fggts'.'
I don't even believe in 'countries' any more, yall. Borders = s0 2k7. I feel like we're all just citizens of Blogville in the United States of the Alt-Internet. It doesn't matter where n e 1 is even from... I just want a free mp3 and I want to see 'the next big band' more than 6 months before they are 'big.'
America is fine. We just need to find a way to make sure that ________ ends up as the President. I heard he is going to lower the legal ______ age for entry level alts/lil alts. He will also pass an electro-tax that is meant to give money to myspace bands. They are also in talks to distribute a copy of Ableton Live to every single child in a public school.
If NME wants to help America get a better image, they need to start at the ground level. They need to get kids portable hypemachine players to replace their iPods/satellite radios. Our generation is lost. We just need to work for the future, and focus on alt-lectro education. That's the only way to win THE WAR ON lofi/garage/cockrock/fggtcore/meaningfulcore/underwhelming-indie TERROR.
'The only way to save our world is to Americanize it. Especially the brown-ish countries that believe in 2ManyGods.' -HIPSTER RUNOFFS
OMG. yall never told me that Lil Wayne has face tattoos... Isn't he like 14 years old? Did his parents have to sign a Louisiana face-tattoo-on-tweenagers waiver? Is Lil Wayne the deepest, most authentic mainstream rapper of recent times? (Note: I haven't rlly listened to his stuff.)
I thought only krazie black people had face tats. R.I.P. Mike Tyson (1960-2008)
Wayne BB! I would LOVE to go on a jet-ski with u. I'll wrap my arms around ur firm body and hold on tight. Unfortunately, u r little, but I am not. I am kinda big.
but honestly, I am too hefty for jetskis. I got on one at the lake a few years ago, and it just started to sink. HOnestly reminded me of the anxiety I got during the non-steamy scenes of Titanic. I can't really swim either,so I just sank and every1 was laughing at me, even though I was under water for 4 minutes before they saved me. They had to bring an industrial strength crane to save me. It was emberrisng, but i am happy to be alive. Me exBF rode away on a motorboat and never came back. Breakups are hard when some1 just GIVES UP on u and ur dreams and rides away on a motorboat.
I miss the sea. I love the feeling of the sand beneath my toes.
Lil WAYNe is AMAZING! Kanye who? Jay-Z who?
#teamWayne
This year, it seems like the backpack has become the ultimate 'swag ass blipster' trend. It all started when Kevin Durant started 2 wear a backpack to post-game press conferences during the NBA playoffs. Now it seems like Lil Wayne is attempting to take the trend to the next level by wearing a backpack during his Bonnaroo live set.
I am not really sure what they put in their bags. Maybe it is just like a 'swag ass carrier case' that you can put other swag ass things in2. Beats By Dre headphones Mad swag sneakers. Swag ass tall tees. Swag ass glasses. Swag ass iPod docks. Swag ass Lunchables. Swag Swag Old Navy Performance Fleeces. Swag ass tinker toys. You never really know what is in the backpack, u just have 2 use ur imagination.
Did Kevin Durant look more blip/alt when he wore the backpack?
Is Lil Wayne 'trying 2 hard' to ripoff the swag of NBA players?
R u happy LeBron James lost?
Is Lil Wayne an authentic trendsetter, or does he just rip of other bros?
Do u ever 'jack' n e 1 else's 'swag'?
R u going to start wearing a blipster backpack?
Are Jansport/Eastbay/North Face backpacks 'swag' enough?
Is 'swag' the 'swaggiest' buzzword in the swagosphere?
What is the most swag trend in the bliposphere?
WhAt'S iN tHe BaG?!?
I love love love U2 because I wake up to the song "Beautiful Day" and fall asleep listening to "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."
They are HANGIN with my fave rapper Lil Wayne! I honestly haven't hung out with any1 except one time I went to lunch with the other temp who works at the office across from me. It got awkward when she told me she was dating my ex, and that my ex cheated on her too. She is just too sad and pathetic for me. She bums me out so bad!
I hope they write an MP3 together!
I love love love THE EDGE! He is my dream man. Bono who? #TeamEdge
I gotta go see all of them in concert! Come to my city, yall! I'll bring some Papa John's!
Wayne BB! U look real good!! Have u been hitting the gym and getting swole?
Honestly beach pix depress me. I hardly go outside in the summer because I have hyperactive sweat glands. It doesn't help that I am out of breath when I walk over 20 feet. Going to the grocery store is a nightmare. It doesn't help that my body is wider than the cart and people have to go around me. Needless to say, u won't be seeing me canoodling OR at the beach any time soon. Last time my ex made me go to the beach, he used my body as a raft, and I ended up floating thru a school of jelly fish. I was paralyzed from the neck down for 3 months because of their venom, and i nearly doubled in size.
Wayne is HOT and so is that Hottie McHotHot with her BANGIN BIKINI BOD! Wayne is a playa! I wish he'd throw me a bone... YES I have been with black men. They LOVE REAL women with CURVES.
I lovelovelove Lil Wayne. I always thought Lil Bow Wow was going to have a better career, but in the end, maybe Lil romeo and Lil Wayne all did quite alright.
Lil Wayne's new album cover looks HOT, as he looks totally like a QT with face tattoos... I would NEVER let my (future) son get face tattoos, but I did illegally get a tattoo before I was 18 because my bf at the time knew a guy who learned how to do homemade tattoos in prison. Let's just say when you don't get a traditional tattoo, u can't go to a traditional tattoo removal service, so you end up having to cut sections of your skin off and then graft your skin back on over that section #sadbuttrue
Lil Wayne looks HOT and SEXI in this pic, and was probably on drugs bc he is s000 gangsta! I wonder if he knew in this pic that he would end up in jail :-P
Lil Wayne is WAY HOTTER than Kanye West, but in the end Hootie is the hottest black man alive (and #Denzel).
Check out the rapper Lil Wayne's new video for the club banger "6 foot 7." It's off da chain, yall! (and I don't usually LIKE rap)
I'm probably gonna be hearing this shiznit in da club, bitches! It's Monday and I'm already miserable at work (it's not even lunch time, but I think me and the gals are gonna hit up the Guiltless Grill at Chili's). Ugh. I wish it was Friday because I could REALLY USE A COCKTAIL.
But for now, listening to Lil Wayne in my cubicle will have 2 do...
******Sigh**** (update: some one from down the hall just told me to turn off my music. Screw you! but I turned it off)
The video is a lot like the movie INCEPTION which totally FREAKED ME OUT because I have very, very vivid dreams. Like one time I walked out of my apartment and almost got hit by a car so my parents had to tie me down to the bed for a few years whenever I went to sleep.
I'm personally not a fan of Lil Wayne as a human due to his drug abuse and illegitimate children... but u have to give him props for speaking his mind... something I wish I could do to my boss without getting fired and not being able to pay rent at my dream apartment and giving up the DVR features on my cable package.
I think Weezy is rlly kewl bc I went thru a phase where I drank a lot of cough syrup, and that is apparently what Lil Wayne does, but he is a millionaire and I failed out of community college.
Here's Lil Wayne singing on some song called “Bow Chicka Wow Wow” with a wannabe Justin Timberlake bro named Mike Posner.
I wonder if he is Everlast's son or something...
I remember the first time I was about to be penetrated by my partner, I made the sound “Bow Chicka Wow Wow” and then he got soft, and we sorta stopped talking... so yeah... don't do that when ur about to make love to ur partner unless u want to go on a 3 month Haagen Daz binge :-(
Anyways, enjoy the song!
Weezy 4 Sheezy my neezies ;-)
LOLCATS
Gonna go buy some tussin lean, yall! Peace!
I just saw this picture of African American rapper Lil Wayne at the 2011 NBA All Star game in Los Angeles, CA. He is sitting next 2 Maria Shriver and her son Christopher Schwarzenegger, who came from the loins of Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It seems like he is just partying, trying to talk mad shit 2 NBA players but then that Schwarzenegger kid is killing his vibe, and Maria is all like "Why is that black man cursing so much?"
I wish she'd just chill out and let Wayne be Wayne, maybe drink some lean with him and get slo-ass-retarded 2gether and get some face tattoos.
Oh Wayne... Gotta love him. Let's hope he gets out of jail soon.
#FreeWeezy
Lil Wayne went to jail just because he owned some guns or something. Not sure if he murdered some1, or was just scared of getting shot and didn't trust the police. I think this happens to all black rappers, but they probably don't really go to jail, they just sorta go on hiatus, and use 'prison' as an excuse to 'have a comeback.' Anyways, Lil Wayne is 'rotting in prison' but that doesn't mean he doesn't get to order snacks + treats. Just saw this leaked order form from his prison where he requests tons of snacks. Feel like this list might provide some sort of commentary on our 'fast food nation', and how different races have an affinity/brand loyalty to different snacks.
Seems like this is his 'order form', and he went ahead and chilled on some Kool Aid and Doritos.
other highlights seem to be 'Gatorade', Ramen, a Halls cough drop (probably to try to simulate purple drank), Ruffles, and "chocolate chip." Sorta bummed he didn't go after Nutrigrain bars. Seem kinda healthy, like a 'smart snack.'
Here is some EXCLUSIVE VIDEO of Lil Wayne in his prison cell opening up all of his snacks.
What race are you and what snacks do u eat?
What race are you and what sodas / sugary juices+punches do u drink?
Is Crystal Light 'for white people'?
Is Emergen-C for white ppl?
Is Kool Aid 4 black people?
Is Doritos a 'universal snack'?
Do u think Mountain Dew is 4 xtreme ppl?
Do u hope Lil Wayne is 'locked up 4evr'?
Is he overrated as a rapper / human brand?
Should Jay-Z go to jail to win some respect from the black community? Seems like 'chilling at Coachella' doesn't really win him that much cred.
Lil Wayne is going to jail for doing something that black people/rappers do. I am not sure if it has to do with guns, theft, drugs, or tax evasion, but he had some sort of 'sweet ass party' before he is shipped away.
I feel happy for him, since he got to enjoy the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl victory with a group of his closest bros.
I wonder if his network of enablers/childhood friends who he 'employs' are worried that they will have to 'get a real job' until he is released.
Seems like they had buffet style weed + cough syrup + top shelf alcohol that has been branded to African Americans. Wonder if he had a 'sick orgy' before getting shipped to jail.
'I wish I could fuck every girl in the world.' -Lil Wayne, 2009
Does Lil Wayne seem like a chill bro?
What would u do the night be4 u got ur ass shipped 2 jail?
Is hiphop culture bad 4 America?
Do rappers get a sweet 'album sales bounce' after they get out of jail?
Will Lil Wayne die within the next 5-10 years?
Do u remember that time Lil Wayne was 'critically acclaimed' and 'deep'?
Do you wish Lil Wayne 'acted more white' like Jay-Z/Kanye?
