What I'm Watching: Lil Wayne "How To Love"

I could see Lil Wayne getting some girl pregnant out of wedlock because they love his "How to Love" video. Um, allegedly of course. Ha!

Funny, I think this video might be a part of a community service order. I suppose it's a cool message, if it didn't come via some off putting melodic Wayne vocals. And if it didn't come from Mr. Weezy F. Baby. Anyway, what's your thoughts?

Also, here's a solid cover. It's hard to find anyone over 14 years old doing a cover to this track on youtube. Kind of says a lot about the audience.

Dear Rappers: Six Foot Seven Foot Eight Foot Done!

Dear Rappers,

Let me start this off with, I feel where you are coming from. When a hot beat drops, you're just dying to jump on it. You hear your own ideas for the track. You imagine your flow over the beat. I get it. But as a blogger, I'd appreciate a little bit of originality. Think about this for a moment if you will, popular song comes out. The beat is hot. You think about using it. And while you're thinking, a million other rappers are ALSO thinking about using it too. At which point, you should move on to your next idea. But many of ya'll don't.

What's wack though, not only do some of ya'll jack beats to popular tracks, you switch up your flow to match the original. Oh. Okay. You do impersonations now too? That's cool. My thing is, if you wanna rock over a beat, try to use one that not everyone is using. If it's a popular single, chances are EVERYONE has already thought the same thing you are thinking: "Freestyle over the beat and blast it to the blogs. It's gonna be a movie!"

Wrong.

I know what you're probably saying: "my shit goes harder and I killed this beat more than anyone else." Oh. Okay. Yeah, that's cool and may very well be the case but when everyone is using the same beat, your shit gets lost in the sauce. I really can't say this enough.

Oh and another quick point, stop calling said tracks "freestyles" when in fact you've written down your verse. That's also lame.

But this is all old news though, because many of ya'll have heard me rant on this subject before. My current frustration comes from the new Lil Wayne track, 6 Foot 7 Foot. Much like Lil Wayne's hit, A Milli,  a lot of you are jumping all over this joint. I'll be honest, that beat goes hard. It's fresh. I dig it. But there are a few fails involved with this latest "freestyle frenzy"; besides the obvious EVERY ONE AND THEIR MOM IS DOING IT. The fail comes in the title of the track. For the record, it's 6 Foot 7 Foot (6'7'). I thought that was obvious considering it's in the chorus. But it's that tricky symbol that are fucking up a lot of you rap cats, your managers and your PR team too. Even the original artwork for the track was wrong, so I guess I can't fault you. Or I can.

Via @OCSupreme "Like I said, the world will die in the corner wearing a fucking dunce cap."

FYI: "The symbol for feet is a single apostrophe ('). The symbol for inches is a set of 2 apostrophes (")." Not sure what grade you learn that but you can always google for a refresher.

However, no matter how many times it's been stated, folks continue to use 6'7" in their artwork and the title of the track. Shit, even XM radio fucked it up (see pic above). I mean, if you're going to continue to flood the Internets with your "freestyle" at least get the title right. But go ahead and please continue with your 6 foot 7 inches freestyle. And then wonder why your career comes up short.

I'm just saying.

I'm sure, somewhere one (or more) of ya'll are shaking your head and mumbling, "this n-gga think he's somebody. What a hater." But that's a conversation for another day.

Peace,

ThroatChopU

PS: Remember, real G's move in silent like Lasagna (if you like to mispronounce things, that is).

Craigslist: Lil Wayne Wanted

I came across the following ad on Craigslist via Twitter. After a few hours it was flagged for removal. I fortunately had a screen shot, because just posting the text by itself I knew no one would be believe me. Read below, it's HILARIOUS! Anyone out there looking for a career in acting, this could be for you. . Enjoy. Haha.

Lil Wayne wanted (DC-MD-VA)

My son is turning 16 and really wanted Lil Wayne to perform for his birthday gala. Unfortunately his schedule will not permit him to make it. I need a Lil Wayne impersonator desperately.

Here is the kicker my son is blind so you do not need to look like the rapper just sound like him. I understand he grunts and mumbles a lot. I don’t care if you are 67 and Jewish if you can sing the songs you’re hired. Money is not an issue. Name your price. Interested individuals please let me know your rap experience, video of you performing as Lil Wayne would be better. If that is not feasible we can arrange for a live audition.

Serious inquiries only, this is very important to my family. Young Money Baby!

Weezy….. You are the father!!

Like an episode of Maury, Lauren London quickly became the center of a pregnancy rumor mill. Rumors flew for months that she was pregnant but the father of the baby was a mystery. At first, it was suspected that Jackie Long (Serena William’s ex) was the father of the child. But that is probably not the case.

The case is probably that Weezy a.k.a. Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., is about 4 months from becoming a father for the third time. A few celebrity managers have confirmed Ms. London’s pregnancy, citing that she turned down movie roles due to her condition. I must say that I saw pictures of Ms. London taken in February at an event and she has the “pregnant face”. Women know that face and she definitely has it.


The two have been involved in an on again/off again relationship for years now. Currently, they are said to be “off” but with something like this, you never know. Weezy has two children, a 10 year old and a baby that was just born on Oct. 22, 2008. WOW, he has a 7 month old and the next baby with the next baby mama is on the way… I guess it could be worse, he could have had them pregnant at the same time.

In this day and age when people openly wear masks because they are afraid of catching Swine flu, Weezy is afraid of wearing a condom (obviously) and catching something just as bad. He is making babies with a collection of mama’s, months apart at that. Aside from the fact that he needs to “wrap up his lollipop”, that type of risqué behavior is played out and disgusting…so 70’s.
