"Today, Lil’ Wayne released a mixtape called “Sorry 4 the Wait.” Normally, CNN doesn’t report on a rapper releasing freestyle verses over other rappers’ beats. But Lil’ Wayne, widely regarded as one of the most important musicians on the planet, is not your typical rapper.
Throughout his career, Wayne has made it a point to reference his extensive and diverse knowledge of sports in his music. On 2007’s “Dough is What I Got,” Wayne defined his ambition by juxtaposing famous NBA players (“And when it comes down to this recording / I must be LeBron James if he’s Jordan / no, I want rings for my performance / I’m more a Kobe Bryant of an artist”)." - read more - via SportsGrid.com
"Lil Wayne's hugely anticipated "Tha Carter IV" has had more push-backs than we dare to count, and the rapper apparently knows his fans are both frustrated and eagerly awaiting the disc. To tide them over, and apologize for his tardiness, Wizzy released a new mixtape Wednesday.
"Sorry 4 the Wait" is a 12-track pre-gamer that shows the rapper both spitting his typical boastful rhymes and apologizing more than once for the delay.
Though nothing here reinvents the wheel, the title track borrows from Adele's smash "Rolling in the Deep" and is worth a listen alone -- so if you aren't exhausted from hearing the track every two minutes (no offense, Adele), check out Wayne's freestyle over the rollicking beat" - read more - via LATimesBlog
Everyone loves a winner…and the sweet smell of success intoxicated some of the Miami Heat’s celebrity fans on Sunday night. Lil Wayne and Birdman are seasons ticket holders who cheer on the Heat from their prime courtside seats. Birdman even bet $2million dollars (allegedly) on the Heat to win this year’s NBA Championship. But it was the Dallas Mavericks who won 105-95 in Miami, sending Lebron off to the lockers to sulk, Chris Bosh to the tunnel to sob, and Dwayne Wade to congratulate the winners with class.
After the game, Dallas’ MVP Dirk Nowitski, owner Mark Cuban, and friends went to Miami’s infamous megaclub, Liv at the Fountainbleu Hotel, to celebrate with the same partyers who wink at, high-five with, and glom booze off of local Heat players any other day. Is it scandalous to see Lil Wayne hugging Dallas’ trophy or grinning with Dirk? Do you think he owes it to his current hometown to be less excited?
Let’s revisit that Rolling Stone feature, where Weezy said:
“[Lebron and Dwayne] never speak to a n—a…They don’t chuck me the deuce or nothing. N—a spent all that money on them fucking tickets … Come holla at me. We sit right by them little bitch-ass n—-s. At least come ask me why I’m not rooting for you.”
In the end, Wayne is just a sports fan. And Club Liv is a business (which some Miami natives say is just an overpriced tourist trap). read more - via MissInfo
Lil Wayne is everywhere these days, including the biggest video game conference in the world E3. Well he wasn't physically there, but Drake and Wayne are featured in the new FIFA Soccer 12 commercial which premiered at this year's E3 Conference. We already know Wayne is a sports fanatic, but is Drake a soccer fan because of is Canadian status by default???? Check out the commercial....
"Earlier this week, we mentioned Lil Wayne’s cute little infatuation with Skyler Diggers, the 20 year old Notre Dame star that Lil Wayne has been gushing about since her team made the Final Four a few weeks ago. He has been wearing her jersey, calling her “wifey” every chance he can on twitter and was recently featured in a video looking for her in Indiana that was filmed by his DJ.
Someone thought it would be pretty funny to capitalize off of her popularity at the moment and leaked what looks like a nude photo of Skylar, showing off her goodies to the internet. Since then, she has posted to her twitter account:
"Gotta clear this up. I [dont know what] pic is going around, but tht is NOT ME. [I don't know] who is going around trying to defame my character,but its sad. The people that know me and love me know that I would never handle myself in such a careless and classless manner. I will not run away and hide. There is no reason to…..goodnight and I will be back to continue my thoughts and tweet regularly tomorrow…"
Although the girl has a striking resemblance to Skylar, the photos are actually of a porn star, taken from a non-safe for work website. Here is a few photos of the “porn star” that are semi-safe for work." - Via necolebitchie

The Urban Daily reports that all mentions of Bow Wow have been removed from Cash Money’s website, something that usually happens after Universal notifies an artists that they’ve been dropped from the label.
Bow Wow signed with Cash Money Records in 2009.
Do you think there’s any room for Bow Weezy on G.O.O.D. or Roc Nation?
Since adult females are to busy to stand up and speak, this 10 year old female has taken the fight in her own hand against deragatory lyrics and images of women in hip-hop. I'm not sure how much she actually knows about some of the older artist she mentions but either way she is taking a stand.
