Talk:Lil Wayne/Archive 1

Discography
Because he has so many mixtapes and stuff I made a whole separate Lil Wayne Discography article. Tha Iceman73 Talk 17:46, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Categorization
This is a pathetic article. Somebody should make categories for aspects of his life, not just give a huge chunk of information about him.

Better Known As
It Should Say: Lil Wayne Or Also Known As; Weezy, Weezy F, Weezy F Baby, Young Toon, Tha Carter, second Best Rapper Alive,And Birdman Jr.

All Alone
Recently a track come out titled 'All Alone' it is 2:16 long. (source allhiphop.com) In the track Wayne says 'There's somethin about the hot boys ya don't know' and goes on to talk about his personal relationships with each individual member. He says that he has love for them all. He shows this by stating that he hopes choppa city records blow. (B.G.'s record label) He states that he and Juve never got along, but they both did hot tracks together. He mentions that he had his lawyer working on Turk's legal issues even after Turk dissed him. Lil wayne is now with Latasha jasper "IT’S SOMETHING ABOUT THE HOT BOYZ THAT YOU DON’T KNOW I GOT A LOT OF LOVE FOR THEM THAT I DON’T SHOW AND B.G. BEEN MY N**** SINCE THE FRONT DOOR I HOPE CHOPPA CITY RECORDS BLOW.. FA SHO AND ME AND JUVE NEVER REALLY GOT ALONG BUT YOU STILL WOULD LET YOUR N***A COME GET ON YOUR HOTTEST SONG .....I HAD MY OWN LAWYER WORKIN’ ON TURK’S CASE AFTER I HEARD HIM DISSIN ME ON THE MIXTAPE"

Also in the begining of the track Wayne is talking about a woman who he had a relationship with. He mentions how she cheated on him and he can forgive her, but he is moving on. The woman is not identified in the song and so far is unknown to the public, but some speculate he is talking about Trina.

lyrics - http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/All-Alone-lyrics-Lil'-Wayne/FB1DA2C912FC204D4825722D0012AC8E An article - http://www.sohh.com/articles/article.php/10283

I think this should be added to the main article (I can't do it) because it talks about the beef, and a relationship that was either awhile ago, or more current (with Trina). There is very little mention of his place in the hot boys, and no mention of any beef with them. Although it is clear that there is. (or there was beef, as this song seems to allude that there is no more beef...at least on wayne's part) Tydamann 12:04 Nov. 30th

The Song All Alone is actually named I Like Dat on the Young Money Millionaires mixtape and the Lil Weezy Ana mixtape.

Record Sales
RIAA certifications for Lil' Wayne are at 3.5 million total for the U.S. I refuse to believe that he's only sold a 7th of his total moved-units in this market, and has done everything else overseas. This is probably vandalism, and I might even suggest we protect the record sale section. Changing it, for now. SethHowes 01:13, 19 October 2006 (UTC)SethHowes
 * His albums never sold overseas. Georgia Peachez 18:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

His Age
he is AT LEAST 26 years old, he came into the game early, and hes been around and i have video PROOF in interviews and shows where he says his age. on his very first episode of cribs (before the one with his daughter in it) he showed off some 19 inch rims and said that his rims go up with his age, this was around 2000 give or take a year..he didnt even have dreads then so there's your proof

What's up with him lying about his age? his police report: http://www.fultonsheriff.org/Jail/individual.asp?bookingnumber=0629395 claims he's at least 26 not the "23 year old CEO" he claims to be. Its possible he did what MJ (jackson) did when he was starting out make himself younger to make his work seem more impressive. If your going to lie about yuor age don't brag about it at least. Duhon August 17 2006
 * He didn't lie about his age, he's indeed 23 years old. The police makes mistakes like that all the time, I even did, so i'm not going to front.He is to 23 So Don't hate.

On the page on here, it says he was born September 27, 1984. I don't know how to change it or the process, but Lil Wayne was born September 27, 1982. He mentions this in his single 'Leather So Soft' on the 'Like Father, Like Son' album.

I agree, Lil' Wayne was indeed born 09/27/1982... This is also stated in his song, "Drop It Like It's Hot," off the Young Money Dedication mixtape. As follows, "They call me Weezy Baby, please say the baby, baby, 9/27/82, I'm a eighties baby." D.Powell out of PG County, MD [Weezy All Day.]

lil wayne was born in 1982..I KNOW HIM "It was 9/27, '82, baby do, charity hospital, aka the city zoo, no pity due to no one" - Like Father, Like Son "Leather So Soft" "A eighties baby, a fightin n****" - Tha Carter "On My Own" "22 year old 17 war vet" (The Carter II was out in 2005 before his 23rd birthday, so 2005 minus 22 years is 1983, which is before his first birthday) - Tha Carter II "Lock and Load" "Birdman put me on when I was just eleven" (Lil' Wayne began after his 11th birthday in 1993, which therefore makes him 11, because if he was 11 in '93, then he must have been born in '82) - Like Father, Like Son "Like Father, Like Son" "They call me Weezy Baby, please say the baby, baby, 9/27/82, I'm a eighties baby." - Young Money Dedication Mixtape "Drop It Like its Hot" (AND I COULD PREACH ALL DAY) Dnini2303 14:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Children
He's born in 1982! damn, y does wikipedia make everything so hard??

Why doesn't the article mention the 1999 birth of his daughter, Regenae? She was featured on an episode of MTV's 'Cribs'.


 * She was mentioned. His page been vandalised so many times, it disappeared. Georgia Peachez 06:30, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

that is not how u spell her name it is reginae dwan carter and she is like 8 years old as of 2007 weezy f baby # 1 fan kensie from bpt holla!!!

Beef
Lil Wayne's Beef With Former Member Of The Hot Boyz B.G. Was Rumored To Be Settled. But On An Episode Of Rap City On Febuary 13, 2007 On BET,When Asked About His Situation With Weezy He Replied: " Who? Oh Oh Jim Jones Jr.? Ha Ha Nah, I Know Who Your Talkin About, Now As A Rapper Shorty Holdin It Down, I Cant Take Nothin From Shorty, Hes On Of The Hottest Lyricist Out Here. But As A Man, Nah He Isnt No Man, Wayne Can't Speak For Himself. In B.G. & the Chopper City Boys First Single Of Of "We Got This" When Rapping About New Orleans In the First Verse He States " If I Catch Baby Or Wayne I Might Put A D*ck In They're Mouths."

Lil Wayne Was Also Rumored To Be On A Track On 50 Cents New Album, But Was Taken Off Because Of His Beef With Young Buck.

Feuding Between Lil Wayne & Jay-Z Has Been Held To A Mimimum, But Wayne Stated In An Interveiw With All Hip Hop.Com That Jay Tried To Come Back When He(wayne) Was Already F*cking B*tches In His Bed, And He Claimed This (the rap game) Was His House Now. The cited diss track in the main article "==Feuds==

Jay-Z
After the retirement of Jay-Z, Lil Wayne claimed to be the best rapper alive, since the best rapper retired. Even though Jay-Z mildly responded to this claim, Lil Wayne continued to speak on the situation during interviews (such as the one in Complex Magazine). Lil Wayne has made a diss track on the instrumental of "Ether" by Nas titled "Fuck Jay-Z", and has taken numerous subliminal shots at him."

This claim is incorrect, on YouTube and various other sources a track recorded over the ether beat by lil wayne has been edited. The track was done at the time Wayne was considering a move to Roc-a-fella records and after the initial 'Fuck Jay-Z' opening line in the non-edited version of the track Wayne corrects the sentiment and says 'Nah man I fucks with Jay-Z' - showing support not animosity for Jay-Z. The subliminal shots did occur later when Wayne did not move to roc-a-fella and Jay-Z came back out of retirement but as yet Jay-Z has not fully responded to some of Wayne's claims.

He Also Claimed That Is Juvenile Continued To State That He Didnt Earn His Tattoo Tear Drops Like He Was Supposed To That Juvenile Would Be The Next Tear Drop On His Face.
 * You can add all that yourself. Please don't capitalize every word you type. Georgia Peachez 20:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

All of that needs to be cited

"Lil Wayne and Trina have recently ended their relationship, which was stated by Lil Wayne, himself, on BET's 106 and Park.

Lil Wayne has recently purchased a sky box at the Louisiana Superdome with Birdman.

Lil Wayne Announced on February 19, 2007 that The Carter 3 will be the last of his The Carter series. And after the reese of The Carter 3, he has decided to leave Cash Money Records. He is going to create his own major record label, Dedication Records. The first artists signed to the label are The 40 Milli Kids and High St."

NOOO HE SAID HE IS DOING 5 CARTERS NOT 3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terror G (talk • contribs)

I agree, he did say that there were going to be 5 carters, which can be proven on an interview I watched on you tube, online, citation needed. Dnini2303 12:54, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

CARTER III ALBUM COVER ART IS gay
would someone please change the carter iii album cover to art to TBA/unavailable because that is clearly not real

Actually when being interviewed on youngmoneyent.com, Lil' Wayne was asked how many Carter albums will he make, and he replied, "When y'all paln on assassinatin' me?" D. Powell out of PG County [Weezy All Day.]

Who wrote what?
User:Peejay5 has now added this text twice: "A large portion of his lyrics are written by underground artist mush the don bishop,C.E.O of big city entertainment,"

I am about to revert it agian because it remains unsourced. Please don't put it back until you find a source. Also, don't put it in the middle of the section on him growing up -- find a more appropriate place. Novalis 04:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm about to remove the sentence "It could be argued that Gillie's lyrical skills are superior, mostly due to the fact that he has frequently proven himself to be a good freestyle rapper, whereas Lil Wayne usually struggles to form coherent flows when they are not premeditated." from the controversy section because 1) It's opinion, and 2) I've heard a number of great freestyles from him.

Carter 2
"On December 11, 2005 Wayne released Tha Carter II which further solidified his spot as a contemporary rapper, noticeably producing the album without the prominent beats of Mannie Fresh." The date needs to be changed. It should be change to December 6, 2005.

Young Money Entertainment
Why has someone deleted the article of "Young Money Entertainment", Lil Wayne's Record label? Please check that out, thank you.-April 26, 2007
 * It's back up. Rock star  ( T/C ) 19:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought it was Cash Money Entertainment.

Gillie comments
"If Baby met Wayne when he was 9—and Baby is about 50, so he had to be damn near 40—at what age did Baby tell Wayne 'We're gonna start kissing?' Was Wayne 12, and he 39? Was Wayne 15, and he 42? I'm just saying, you molested that boy...When you think about Wayne is the only n***a that ain't left [Cash Money Records]. Why?"

– Gillie Da Kid, UNRWorld.com

Why do we need this ish from Gille on Wayne's site? This is total garbage, this could be on Gillie's thing or something, but it is a total waste on Wayne's page and makes people think him and Stunna are gay or something. Need a picture too. -Da Messiah (6/5/07)

-Dude who cares all that matters is LIL WAYNE AND BIRDMAN HAVE BEEN CAUGHT KISSING - WTF thats that ...

Best Rapper?
It is an official FACT. The HHOA (Hip-Hop Organization of America) has recently named Lil Wayne as "The Best Rapper Alive" on June 12, 2007. I deleted a couple lines in the 'Future' section that said he was the best rapper of his time, and 3rd behind Tupac and Biggie, which is completely opinion-oriented (a retarded opinion at that), as things like that don't deserve to be on Wikipedia. Truballer07 02:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)lil wayne is the best raper a live i wish can do a song whith him this is paris wright

Homosexuality
Someone needs to address him making out with "the Birdman" under a new section which addresses allegations about him being gay. Link it two the photo and the audio where "the Birdman" responds to the allegations.(But I recently read that he has been dating a lot of female artist such as Supahead and Destiny Child Reject)(Also dat was a Mafia kiss it wasn't making out)

According to Ticketmaster (http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/806292) B.G. and Lil' Wayne are going to do a concert together, though none of the details have been posted. This should be researched, and added to the B.G. feud part.

Hova
"You old ass rappers better stay on tour You're like 44, I got a 44, I'm 24 I could murk you and come home when I'm 44"

http://www.ballerstatus.com/blog/5/123/

Lil Wayne is 24.....On his Carther II album, he said SO Wayne does not say he is 24 in the carter 2, thats song is off a track by freekey zekey called "beatwithoutbass"...

http://www.prefixmag.com/blog/jay-z-lil-wayne-beef/5990

... and all of this is written this year, therefore making wayne 24 years old, currently. Dnini2303 12:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Wayne continues to claim to be 24 years old. His arrest record reflects otherwise. (http://www.fultonsheriff.org/Jail/individual.asp?bookingnumber=0629395) It wouldn't be the first time a celebrity lied about their age. Rhickey1986 06:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Gillie Da Kid
Weezy fires back at Gillie refering to the whole situation on Da Drought 3 in "Live from the 504" saying... "Im a shark in the water, yup i swim wit the big, so I dont have time to deal wit, Willie Da Squid" Dnini2303 13:58, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

He also says on Da Drought 3 in "hard body" Im illy, shirt softer then Gillie/ In a pair of gucci flops feeling freeyer then willie/ When Dem Niggas Left Eye It Got A Little Bit Chilli/But I Juss Let It Burn Like The End Of A Philly" Gillie is from philly

Age Dispute
All of the associated press articles (Yahoo search for "Lil Wayne Arrested" have his age as 23, its seems likely that the sheriff's website has a typo or he had a fake ID with a different age, there's even a legal disclaimer on the sheriff's site that says not to take data on the site as legal fact. Also, "Get it How You Live" came out in 1997, you can look at his face on the cover and tell that he wasn't 18 years old when that picture was taken (not to mention the massive difference between how his pre-pubescent voice is on that album and how it sounds today or on his first solo album just a few years after 97). If he had lied about his age, someone from ASCAP (who legally has his birth name and birth date) would have already outed him, Juvie or BG would have outed him with all the negative stuff they said in the press. That also includes the staff at the Houston University he attended. Plus he was still in high school until 16 when recording, he wouldn't have been 19 years old in ninth grade without at least a single journalist picking up on that. Why isn't a single person who went to school with him saying that he's older than 23? Keep the reference out until there are other sources to indicate that's his true date of birth and not a typo, because the source itself isn't legally viable. BreadLand 07:06, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

-I'm willing to accept that. This article originally had Wayne dropping out of high school at 13, which seemed like the strongest evidence for the discrepancy, considering it's not legal to the best of my knowledge. Rhickey1986 14:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

so the page is locked...
somebody with proper authoritae please fix this:

"...better known as Lil' Wayne, is the best American, Grammy-nominated rapper alive on earth..."

please, please, please fix that
