Lil Wayne Covers VIBE

Apr 02 | by Natasha

{Click pic for larger image}

~~Gremlin~~ Weezy F. Baby is covering the upcoming April issue of VIBE mag. And of course, dude provided some quote worthy material:

Lil Wayne admits his addiction to “syrup” and suffering from withdrawal: “You will literally feel it going in, like Pepto-Bismol shows in the commercial….It pissed me off ‘cause I couldn’t get off it…I can take pain good…but that wasn’t pain I could take.”

Lil Wayne’s response when questioned about his lifestyle: “Don’t judge me until you meet me. And you know when you gonna meet me? Never. So don’t judge me. Don’t worry about my health because…what you doing? And when you tell me what you doing, I bet it ain’t half as great as what I’m doing…I smoke, drink, and…do what, who, and how I want and I’m going to keep doing. And I’ma die the way I want. And that’s that.”

Comments

[quote comment="61040"]Ok

[quote comment="61040"]Ok first off I want to say that I always read comments but I never respond to anything until today. People can always find a way to knock somebodys hustle. I mean when u look at it Wayne is the hottest thing in this so called music industry, u have to give him that much if anything but some people r hatin so tuff that they wont admit it. I can say honestly that yeah he does say some ignorant shit but his job is not a motivational speaker, he's a rapper so who cares about all that he speaks the truth. He will be a legend when hes gone and he has all due respect from me.![/quote] i agree!!!

Being from New Orleans I am proud that he is at the level he has made it to, because a lot od the young men from here barely make it to the age 25, let alone be a platinum selling rap artist. Go Weezy!!! I got love for the home team!!! We got ya back in the N.O!!!![/quote] Dang... this just says so much - about Weezy, about the type of person his die-hard fans tend to be, about New Orleans and about why so many black people are embarassed by African-Americans sometimes. Is this all it takes for you to be proud Lovechild? That he has managed not be a murder victim by the age of 25? I mean, SERIOUSLY? Is this all we expect now? The fact that he is an addle-brained drug addict doesn't bother you? And AS for that ish about wanting to be like Bob Marley and Tupac. Two things: 1)Clearly this man has some kind of morbid death wish - I would actually not be surprised if he is clinically depressed - his comments and the people he is trying to compare himself to (one dead at 25, the other by 36)are strange and morbid - is Weezy telling us he wants to/expects that he will die young? I found that really disturbing. 2)Lyrically, he is not at the standard of Bob or Tupac - I don't think he has it in him either. True, neither Bob nor Tupac were saints during their lives. I'm half-Jamaican and lived there for a number of years- jahknow...Bob was NOT a saint and while his sung lyrics were profound, in interviews him chat baaaaaaad!Completely inarticulate and high. LOL! But lyrically - can't touch him. I ent heard Weezy come up with anything that could touch "emancipate yourselves from mental slavery- none but ourselves can free our minds". Nah.[/quote] Let me start off by saying this, You know nothing about New Orleans except what the media wants you to see. I am only saying he is doing something constructive with his life. Yes he does and says things that are off and I disagree with some of it sometimes but my opinion is, I am proud of him because he made it out alive.... I don't expect you to understand because you aren't from where we're from..... And for future reference, dont speak on things you know nothing about i.e. Life In New Orleans!

Lil Wayne will never be a Tupac or Bob...they were lyrical geniuses! In my book, he's not even close in. He may have the ability...but he's damaging his brain with the drugs so I don't think we'll ever know what he's capable of.

C'MON Weezy, its kinda hard to take you seriously when you KISSED another dude in the mouth. it's cute when you're 2 and kissed your daddy. But since you and Baby are GROWN MEN and Baby is not your real dad. I'm having a hard time to believe that it was just a "MOB" thing. And even if it was just a "MOB" thing and everyone else did it..why haven't i seen a pic of either JUVE or BG kissing you or Baby?? Im just saying.

Nah.[/quote] I couldn't have said it better. I do think that Wayne is talented, but half of the time he literally MAKES NO SENSE. The people who praise him tend to be young, in both body and spirit. He wastes his gift on a gimmick and his life on escapism that is slowly, but surely catching up to him. Bob Marley inspired and continues to inspire generations to be independent thinkers, to take action, to revolutionize the world w/o violence, and to love all mankind. What is Wayne's legacy. He has children and he flaunts his lifestyle and while no one can judge except GOD, the good Lord has asked us to condemn and turn away poison. Wayne is killing himself and from the looks of it he is taking alot of people out there with him. There is more to life than your block, hood, city.... yes, he's made money, but he has no wealth, no real influence (beyond the misguided) and those in mainstream who have used him to make a quick buck and his children suffer while he "lives his life the way he wants to".

ITA Carribean. It truly makes

ITA Carribean. It truly makes me sad that people praise this man because he's made money, not dead, has fame. Does that truly negate what he is about? No, we aren't to judge, but we are to turn away from poison and literally that is what he is doing to himself and obviously to the minds of our youth. I watch MTV and BET and wonder how my people can be so fooled by the filth and ignorance being spewed. I love hip/hop and I love truth, but glamorizing real life struggle as an angle is just sad and speaks to the lowest common denominator. There are people who have less fame, less money and far less recognition that are right there in New Orleans BUT they are truly the ones who deserve the praise--- I know people who teach there everyday and can give you names. Wayne is talented and I won't take that from him, but he has more potential than product. Half the things he says do NOT make sense. Just because it rhymes and has a catchy hook does not make it good rap or true hip/hop and it is so infuriating to see him touted as GOAT when he rarely spits coherently. What good does him reaching 25 and having money do if his legacy is one of delusional, drug-stuppored and insignificant beyond 150 horrible cameos on songs and a catalog of (sometimes)pure nonsense. He survived the hood only to become a Hollywood cliche...come on that doesn't make any sense. Bob Marley might have been flawed, but he also led a nation and generations to think freely, fight with their minds and spirits instead of guns and violence, and to accept all of humankind as brothers so that love would abound. When Wayne comes up with that message...holla at me. Also, he is a father and to say he doesn't care about the way he lives his life or how he dies is selfish and sad. His kids didn't ask to be here, but now that they are it is his obligation to CARE how he conducts himself. He might not give a bleep about his life but his children surely do.

I like lil wayne a lot. He

I like lil wayne a lot. He has talent, there's no doubt. But I don't count on him being around even to see 2009, mark my words! I mean, look at these lyrics-though creative... "I can mingle with the stars & throw a party on Mars I am a prisoner locked up behind Xanax bars I have just boarded a plane without a pilot And violets are blue, Roses are red Daisies are yellow, The flowers are dead Wish I can give you this feeling that I feel like buying And if my dealer don’t have no more, then I feel like dying" I feel like dying!!! Yeah-he says he's not afraid to die cause he KNOWS that's what's coming soon! His latest song with Ricky Ross is "pill poppin animal" and I like the song-the lyrics are not sending a good message but I'm an adult & not influenced by words to songs anymore! the hook is "I'm a pill poppin animal (Rick) syrup sippin nigga (Wayne) syrup syrup sippin nigga-I'm so high you couldn't reach me wit a f/kin antenna... Then here's one part: "feelin like a million bucks fillin up a philly blunt feelin on your bitch if you dont like it i dont give a f**k" They're talkin about 5 different drugs in this song that I can count. But KIDS listen to this shit & think it's the thing to do! I feel like he has SO much potential & yeah, he's who he is & he's fron where he's from & people are different & we all come up different... but he's gotta get some HELP or he's gonna DIE that's the bottom line! And he's talkin like he WANTS to die & KNOWS he's about to die!!!!!!! I remember Wayne when he was a little boy comin out with the hot boys. they were hot! Of course, they were the baddest of bad boys back then & couldn't BELIEVE what I heard from 14-16 year old's mouths, but they DID have talent. Wayne's mind's just SO messed up from all the drugs! I hope that he will get that help he needs before it's too late. I guess from the new song, he KNOWS he has a problem cause they do say they're "borderline junkie" IDK... guess we'll all see!

this is from an article about

this is from an article about that song I was talkin about. I’m sure Bill O’Reily and his staff of unpaid interns can’t wait to use the new Triple C’s cut, Pill Poppin’, as proof that rappers don’t need to refrain from gun talk to still be irresponsible ‘role models.’ Joining the Miami trio are Brisco and Lil’ Wayne, who use the platform to explain that their best studio sessions are wrapped following heavy drug usage. While Ricky Ross and the Carol City Cartel look to release their independent project, Black Flag, sometime next year; maybe they can convince Eminem to do a guest verse on sleeping pills?

Dear Lord, Help this

Dear Lord, Help this children learn to speak and write as well they can remember Lil Wayne's raps. Amen. He seriously needs help. People on here talking about "leave Weezy alone" will be the first ones on here talking about "RIP, it's so sad, Somebody should've helped him etc. when he's found dead up in some hotel. This man is a parent, so ya'll should be hoping he gets it together for that reason alone, if nothing else.
