So, Gotty™ just sent a subliminal hint The Crew’s way indicating we should’ve touched on Lil Wayne going to jail on Monday. Presumably, for the obvious reason that one of the world’s most sought after entertainers is snuggled up in a Rikers Island cell tonight with his blanky and brand new teeth. Fair enough.
Well, I’d like to be the first to say nobody gives a fuck.
For the past few months, Weezy Wee has been the Brett Favre of rap. That alien mug of his has stayed plastered on every damn blog and website but this one, accompanied by up-to-the-minute updates of dude’s purple syrup haze of everyday existence. Farewell parties. Farewell concerts. Pre-farewell-concert parties. Dentists. Orthodontists. Root canals. Viral videos bidding farewell to fans two weeks to early. Even more scrambled soliciting via @liltunechi, whatever the fuck that means. At one point, I’m pretty sure I even saw a picture of Wayne sleeping. No disrespect, but do we really need to share photos of another man sleeping? The nostalgia in a picture of the world’s biggest rapper snoozing on a private jet on his way to jail is just, but c’mon. There’s got to be a line drawn somewhere.
To top off the Wayne media overload we’re bombarded with daily, the guy’s one-year-*wink*-sentence will be over in a blink of his star-tatted eyes and he’ll come out even bigger than before. But, that’s assumed. I think we’re all on the same page in believing Baby’s ‘wittle boy will get a Paulie-shaving-garlic-stay in a plush cell with premium channels and come home at the peak of his career. See Gucci. See TIP. See Pac.
I know I’m a music blogger and providing updates on relatively important topics like this is my ‘job’ and all, but that’s why I don’t care.
That unfair irony is the reason I didn’t jump at the chance of reiterating the announcement that a grown man with stars on his face was going to prison. I got better things to do with my time than to waste an hour reporting on someone who doesn’t directly affect me whatsoever, who’s gaining prosperity from something that would stain a normal person’s life indefinitely. Especially when there are gang of other artists out there that didn’t set a bad example, who will be making music throughout the current calender year, and I could’ve been spending this past sixty minutes supporting them. Or, possibly doing something that would – God forbid – affect my life. Like, eating dinner. Or, possibly getting a full six hours of sleep tonight. Actually, there’s even a small chance I could’ve been smashin.’
But, nope. Here’s Lil Wayne Post #6,841, instead. Lil Wayne Goes To Big Jail.
Finally.



He’s gonna be some dude’s baby. “… please say the baby.”
Lol yeah, I mean, if you just do a random Google search of “Lil Wayne goes to Jail,” it’s crazy how many different outlets are reporting each step of this guy’s life. Part of that is the 24/7 cycle that is “news” now and part of has to do with the fact that this dude is knocking on the doors of icon status. Yep, I said it.
But to further your point Beware, I saw something that explained what Weezy’s first prison meal was like. Some stuff, yeah, nevermind.
lol good shit Beware. I totally agree that shit did get out of hand.
Wayne’s locked up, I’ll miss that nigga less then cancer (see? anyone can do it)
When’s Jeezy gonna drop that single from103?
nice job of protesting media coverage by covering it in this medium
lol @ Brahmin
I don’t wish jail on anyway but I think we, Wayne and the world needed a break.
As EPMD would say, “music, please”
Wayne’s face looks chubby as hell in that close-up picture.
To be totally honest, you guys didnt report on dude and I noticed. And I totally appreciated it. That’s part of the reason that this site is bookmarked numero uno for blog sites. EVERY and I mean EVERY single blog site saturated their columns with ‘he does this’ and ‘he does that’ and I dont like any dude that much. TSS is my break from all my other blog sites. Back to Wayne. He’s most likely made enough material to last the game Max Biggaveli numbers so he wont be audibly missed. Shot video after video so he wont be visually missed. The only thing he has to worry about is the boredom of the next *wink back* year.
Yo gotty..women lie, men lie, TSS don’t lie
hear hear, it was actually nice coming here and NOT seeing stories about his saga, but alas here it is…although to be honest…it’s been the most wittiest write-up I’ve seen yet..so kudos..
I’m suprised some entrepenuerial blogger/Weezy stan didn’t purposely catch a bid at rikers and/or pull some strings to be there reporting on his daily life throughout his sentence. Fuckin
lames.
from Smoke Breaks..
ENTER THE 36 CATHETERS: IF ‘THE GOLDEN GIRLS’ WERE WU-TANG CLAN MEMBERS
*this*
LOL @ Blanche/Method Man..never thought those two would ever be in the same sentence..
If you’re turning yourself in, do they absolutely have to put you in cuffs? I mean WTF? You’re turning yourself in!
So can we safely say Wayne is this generations 2Pac now?

Hmmm….

Umm…what? I mean only if we compare quantity
Umm…what? I mean only if we compare quantity
=============================================
I’m not even talking about the music, I’m talking how he’s viewed by the youth. Dude is just as influential a figure as Pac was, even if he’s way on the other end of the spectrum artistically.
Lol @ amp…i demand royalties hahaha
As someone who works with youth, Weezy (and those So Icy fools too) are a fucking curse. I can understand their music for what it is – unfortunately the impressionable shorties I work with do not and they’ve completely bought into the glamourized stories of ignorance. Damn shame.
No one will be making Wayne their “baby”. Rikers is like a country club for celebrities. I don’t wish jail on anybody, even the goblin, but as noted previously this was needed by the world. It would have been ill if they could sentance him to not being allowed to make music for a few years post-prison, help make the world a better place.
Amp there’s still a BIG difference. Lil Wayne is just very VERY popular. Kids like em, adults like em. He has the uncanny ability to generate hit after hit. But there’s no real substance in his followings. 2Pac talked, we listened. Made music, touched the masses. He inspired and really took that shit in. Pac was more of an anomaly than anything else. Wayne is just…really popular.
This coming from a dude who is neither a big Tupac fan or Wayne hater.
Wayne is just…really popular.
===============================
But the way his world turned into a fishbowl with everyone weighing in is very Pac like.
I can’t believe dude is straight rocking a red rag to court. I’m sure the cops there and the prison guards at Rikers loved that one. It’s also pretty sad that a 2Pac/Wayne argument is even brought up. With prison and all the controversy, he could technically be headed to legend status strictly off the hype, but it’s one of the worse comparisons ever. Wayne would have to start making sense when he spoke to even get close. Pac was a revolutionary who could have commanded an army and damn near did do that. Wayne talks and everybody wonders what drugs he’s on. With the music and fan hype, there’s a comparison, but that’s where it stops. Pac also actually put in work and wasn’t just caught carrying. He was dumping on cops. How soon we forget I guess

Just a sign of the digital times my g. Look at Tiger, Lebron, Jigga. We’re in the reality TV age too, were everything a celeb does is suppose to be entertainment. Now that I think about it, I hate to see whats coming next when this time becomes our ‘good ol days’
yall a bunch of punk haters

=================================
But his nihilistic self destructive tendencies are what made the world really pay attention.
Chuck D was a revolutionary and got a fraction of the pub Pac got.
It was Pac’s duality that made him great.

Hey there young Stanley.
i hate to see my baby go to jail but he still look sexy as hell….lol
whatever. you’re a hip-hop blog. he’s an A-List hip-hop artist. you’re gonna wind up reporting on him (as you just did). quit complainin.

Man thats the realist shit ive read in a awhile bro. Errything is crazy now, not like it used to be. While we’re at it, I think its safe to assume that new shit is whack as said by Curren$y, (in Feelin It) without some saying the exact opposite.
BTW Lil Wayne isn’t and will never become the “new Tupac.” He will be Lil Wayne. Point blank. There will never be another Tupac or Biggie at this matter.
@AmpGeez a.k.a. Get Rich Or Blog Trying Not until he gets shot by someone other than himself.
Not until he gets shot by someone other than himself.
——————————————————
A Groupie shot him too. lol. Hey, a bullet is a bullet. They all burn. Shit, he almost died when he shot himself. The bullet was like a few inches away from his heart.
——————————————————
And lol @ him rocking the red flag to court. lol. Keepin it trill.
And as far as him being this generation’s Pac, I can feel where Amp is coming from. From work ethic, to representing what this generation is.
Bottom line: Wayne is Wayne. But he is the face of this generation, just like Pac was for his.
Great post, Beware. I laughed, I cried. Bravo.
Lil’ Wayne is this generation’s Pac? Man, rap has REALLY fallen off to get to this point, huh? I kinda feel sorry for this generation.
Byron Crawford was right when he said that Weezy hung around long enuff to where he could be considered the best rapper alive LOL Byron is a smart guy.
I hear Weezy volunteered to go to GenPop, a claim no doubt spun by his PR people so his fans can say, “Damn! Weezy’s REAL!” He’ll be in PC, of course. Baby will pay a lion’s share to make sure Wayne is safe during his skid bid, he’ll get out & those who consider him “2pac” will hug his nuts & fall swear he’s a G.
So let’s tally it up… according to my chart he’ll earn 500 street cred points per month so if he serves his year he’ll get… WOW!!!
6,000 street cred points!!! Wayne hit the jackpot!
Thank God most rap fans are fake & have no street/beef/jail experiences of their own. Maybe poetic justice will be served if Wayne gets shanked the fuck up OR if 40 Glocc commits a crime & gets locked up with him.
Otherwise, it’s another elaborate PR stunt for the fans.
this was such a bitchfit post, lil wayne is running rap right now, if u are a “blogger” or whatever da fuck u wanna call ur “occupation” (when really ur a jerk off with a macbook pro) then whhy wouldnt you post about the biggest star of a genre of music, lets be serious, whose the guy that got u bloggin about toronto rappers???? oh aight then
buh dont take this as hate, ima fan of smokingsection, and sometimes fans gotta set shit straight
and wayne is not tupac, that is a completely miseducated statement about rap music, nobody is claiming that statement, their will never be a next generation pac or big
Actually, there’s even a small chance I could’ve been smashin.’
=============================================================
lmfao @ small chance … nice write up tho. very valid points. Is it me or does lil wayne look higher than ever in the pictures ? lol
fuck all yall stupid niggas ,and bitches dat think wayne needs 2 go to jail! I think dat yall are some haten ass people ,I dont think that music without lil wayne so yall stupid ass hoes and niggas can kiss his ass!
