Wait, is Lil Wayne emo?

I do love the dude, but I think I am offended by this.

But maybe I'm just offended by the way Wayne sings "faaaannnnnccy underweaaaar". Hey, at least he didn't say panties. Worst word ever.

+++ What about all the newspaper clippings magically floating in space around Lil Wayne's head while he's rapping? This is the bizarre pastiche that defines my attraction to Lil Wayne's artistic persona.

I think Lil Wayne's appeal has something to do with the fact that he's basically yr best friend's weird little brother. Like, he runs through the house in a cape and underwear and yr friend is all embarrassed and like, "Wayne, why you gotta be like that?" and he's all "LIIIIIIIIIIKE WHAAAAATTTTTTTT?" fully going mental, still running through the house. What I'm trying to say is that Lil Wayne is an enfant terrible.


I know I should be offended by most things he does, but I think my love for him comes from a place that actually wants to be him. I just want to get to know the real Wayne. I want to spend some time in his messy mind. He is so unapologetic about who he is and what he does and that is incredibly appealing. He's all "I feel like dying" and drinking Purple Drank all the time, like "WHAT OF IT? Mind yr own fucking business." He's telling us that it's ok for us to be freaks with ourselves, because HE'S LIVING IT. I am kind of scared that he will die soon, but on the flip, he could possibly live forever like Keith Richards. Maybe sizzurp is actually fortifying Wayne and preserving all his vital organs like Tutankhamun.

Has anyone ever thought Lil Wayne resembles ET?



I think Lil Wayne is the living legacy to the Castle Of Crazy that ODB built for us. I recently read ODB's biography and it was all at once shocking, funny and sad. It's just those "mad artist" personalities that I gravitate towards...



WU TANG IS FOR THE CHILDREN!

A day in the brain of Lil Wayne

The manboy is a genius.

Lil Wayne, I was obsessed with U b4, but now I am fully obsessed with U. I know I'm a little late to yr game, but I'm still feeling you, right?

I love that you might be gay.



I love that you pretend to play guitar.


I love yr fancy style.
Just look at that necklace!


And I love that you intend to own property on mars.

Also, the lyrics of Mrs. Officer are incredible. It's the best anti-popo song since "Fuck Tha Police" by NWA (or "I Wanna Know What <3 Is" by Kathleen Hanna as Julie Ruin.) I can't speak to the subject of what it's like to be a young black man in America today but I can only imagine that it's hard and sometimes (most of the time?) terrifying, especially considering how racist police task forces generally are, and that's why this song is so good, because it dismantles the officer and the force she could possibly rain down on Wayne's little ET head with LOVE, all misogynist fantasies aside. It is a smooth, sensitive, grown n sexy anti 5-0 love song.

I have many friends that want to h8 on U, but I think you are very clever and that is why I would like to spend just one day inside yr head. You know how to use double entendre, you know how to use the shit out of an onomatopoeia, and then you drop a little bit of consciousness, just 'cuz.

Ha Ha... And after we got done
I said lady what's ya number she said 911
Haaa... emergency only

Head doctor perform surgery on me
Yeahh... and now I'm healed
I make her wear nothing but handcuffs & heels
And I beat it like a cop
Rodney King baby yeah I beat it like a cop

Ha Haaa... beat it like a cop
Rodney King baby said beat it like a cop
But I ain't tryna be violent
But I'll do the time but her love is timeless
... Mrs. Officer...
I know you wish ya name was Mrs. Carter huh?
Wee Ooh Wee Ooh Wee,
Wee Ooh Wee Ooh Wee (Yeah),
Wee Ooh Wee Ooh Wee, Like a cop car...

You sometimes get pretty abstract and you stop making sense and you stop rhyming, you're just riffin' now, and then you just make growling noises and that's pretty hot.

Oh yea, yr pretty cute too.
