The Greatest Rapper Alive Broken Down So Plantation Negros Can Get It


“Lil Wayne is the true voice of his generation. Every filmmaker should be so lucky to be granted a character as unique and compelling as Lil Wayne. You can’t write a character like Lil Wayne. He exists because God sometimes decides he wants to create something bizarre and amazing.

But despite the seemingly unlimited access we had to him and his world he wouldn’t reveal to us any details about his life beyond the character that is Lil Wayne. Therefore we’ve chosen at certain times in this film to reveal details of his life through music and lyrics, lyrics that say so much more about his life than any interview he gave to the media or anything he revealed to us during our nearly 6 months filming him.

Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter JR, is a true American artist who tells this story and expresses his pain and fear strictly through his music. Although we started this film with Mr. Carter’s blessing, when filming finished and we screened the first cut he withdrew his support and no longer endorses this film.” Quincy Jones III

Little Wayne.

Currently locked up with the prison industrial complex is making money off his ass; just like 2Million others.

The Greatest? Powerful? Na the joke is on you.

Denmark Vesey said...

Omo I'm a little disappointed.

I imagined you a more agile thinker than that.

Lil Wayne went to jail?

So did Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Jesus of Nazareth.

Being thrown in jail by the Plantation proves what?

Plantation Negros have a bad habit of hating cats they don't understand.

Omo Naija said...

Surely you are more agile than that:

Mandela - Went to jail fighting the Apartheid system

MLK - Self evident

What is weezy in jail for?

Swagger means much to you; thus the fascination with Weezy and Floyd Mayweather.

Denmark Vesey said...

"What is weezy in jail for?"

Exercising his Constitutional Right to Bear Arms.

Which ... at the end of the day ... is the same thing as fighting Apartheid.

Come on Omo.

You can do better than this.

Omo Naija said...

Weezys gun charge is equivalent to fighting apartheid?

I will share an Igbo proverb with you from Chinua Achebe's Things fall apart:

"A man who pays respect to the great paves the way for his own greatness"

Denmark Vesey said...

"Weezys gun charge is equivalent to fighting apartheid?"

Yes.

Resisting the illegal laws of a corrupt government is the equivalent of "fighting apartheid".

What the fuck is a "gun charge" anyway?

Why would a free thinking man... an American citizen ... even think for a moment ... that possession of a gun ... was a crime?

How did they condition you to accept such nonsense Omo?

D'Wayne Carter is a 25 year old millionaire living in a very violent society ... on whom should he depend for personal safety?

No.

Let me guess.

Massa?

Duh Powlice?

The same government warehousing human beings for profit?

Come on Bra.

Get beyond your petty hate of man you don't know and an artist you don't understand.

@Omo

Prove me wrong. THEY CREATE YOUR HEROES!!!

DO YOU HEAR THEM SINGING THE PRAISES OF GARVEY OR MAKING MOVIES ABOUT HIM like they do for Mandela.

Enough with the Angel Mandela stuff.

Learn the real game:

Mandela was caught laying out the Masonic brotherhood grip with South African Communist Party leader Oliver Tambo.

Mandela, is always lionized by the Western Press as a hero, however did you know he is a life long Communist activist and acquired power at the helm of the South African government by arrangement with the heads of the llluminati's Rockefeller, Rothschild, and Oppenheimer dynasties.

Don't get me wrong the Apartheid is wrong and demonic, But just like our civil war(slavery) ,that was not the real reason he was put into power. The White Africans in power cut of the aforementioned dynasties money supply and told them we cant keep on paying you that much.

For that they will now be eliminated from the face of the earth. WATCH.

In exchange, the llluminati cartel holds exclusive rights today to 100% South Africa's mineral rich assets of diamonds, gold, and platinum.All because we don't ask question and go for the good story.

That the real deal- so don't judge him greater than Wayne because of "hyped" history. He will held accountable for the REAL STORY ONE DAY.

Replacing one evil act with another does not fly right with the man above. Therefore, I don't know about judging Weezy- but to try to create a big deliniation in Character? I ain't having it.

Matter a fact, just like Tupac and DmG, we know the industry likes rituals(25 years old?) or when you don't accept or resist the PTB - a Gun or rape charge is normally in line.

I think that weezy might be resisting the same folks that co-opted Mandela(YEAH, I SAID IT!-TAKE THE HALO OF HIM) a lot will come out after he is gone.

Trust me- I got some Indian partners that gave me the story.They lived there when it all went down.

What makes Lil' Wayne more relevant than Oprah Winfrey or Darius Rucker?

Anonymous said...

Weezy, MF Doom, Kobe are entertainers. That's it. Make you giggle and snicker and sh!t, and be dumbfounded but then it stops.

Weezy likens himself to basketball players. Dudes that get fined for wearing their shorts too low or fighting. He limits his greatness to being a rapper. He makes words rhyme and gets paid. He didn't make the game what it is. He just exists in a time when rap has grown all over the word. Place Weezy in 1988. Would he make millions? Nope. Just like basketball players. Were they making this money in the 80's or 70's? Ha marketing turned into the juggernaut that it is today? It is a different era for entertainment. Jokers from Friends were getting paid millions an episode. Dick Van Dyke or Don Knots ain't see no moola like that. Who was hitting 27 million lottos back in the 80's. Publishers Clearing House was on & pop'n. That joint is straight up obsolete now. Lil' Wayne ain't up the stakes. Everything that makes the entertainment industry has up the stakes. It just so happens that "conscious rap" ain't making money because that language is systematically removed. That ain't a secret. How relevant is Farrakhan as oppose to the 80's. Farrakhan don't fit on your ipod playlist.

Ofcoarse you can't make no Edutainment album or Nation of Millions album today. It has been 15 years of editing out this form DV. 15 years! They not pretend pimp'n. How many generations of rap fans can you squeeze into 15 years. Greg Tate said one generation of Jazz is equivalent to three generations of rap.

That is FDA cloned meat. 15 years of cloning naturally would make anything else obsolete.

I can't remember the scientist that did this experiment where he toke a room full of clocks, placed the minute hands in different places. Eventually all of the clocks in the room became in sync with the largest clock. That is what takes place with vibrations and music. You play one type of music over and over and over what are people going to become in sync to? Anything that is out hardly played naturally will be foreign and undesirable. It doesn't sync up.

that dude said...

Weezy is clever, and make a hot jam. but I love how these trifin' hip hop negroes take phrases like "the struggle" and apply it to their drug hustling. Or call themselves "political prisoners" when they navigate the basics of the game.

Is Weezy locked up for bullshit? Some might say yes. Do I care? No.

We'll see if his body of work touches Jay Z, Biggie, Kanye, PE, Tribe, the Wu Tang collective. His GOAT claims are waaay premature to me.

Communism in African politix means something very different to what it does in the U.S so your interpretation of 'Mandela is a communist' somewhat off.

I will never understand you on this one DV.

Instead of "Fuk The Police" per his "Hey Ms Officer" song I say:

Fuk Lil Wayne
Fuk Cnulan!!!


At some point the permanent rebel must become a responsible leader as he gets his wish and the SYSTEM that he hated erodes away, waiting for him to implement his own ideas by which the people live.

Omo Naija said...

Hotmfwax,

The level of ignorance expressed in that rant above, is further confirmation of the half baked inanity exchanged here.

You need to get out more, and I dont mean trips to the beaches in carribean.

What power or wealth does Weezy really have if he sitting in jail like a 2 bit thug

Seven Half Store said...

Are you sure you're a married man with kids DV? lol. buggin out that you like Wayne. My dad wouldn't touch a Wayne cd. lmao.
That's hip.


"At some point the permanent rebel must become a responsible leader as he gets his wish and the SYSTEM that he hated erodes away, waiting for him to implement his own ideas by which the people live." - Constructive

OR He could find other issues to conquer. Hell, there are plenty. For as many rebels there are twice as many to stand in their way and three times many to reverse his progress. And aren't rebels, by default, leaders anyway. A rebel never looks for the system to erode away. He dies fighting.

Seven Half Store said...

For real..... you're barely 30 right? Tell the truth. ;)

Denmark Vesey said...

O. Mahog!

lol.

Nah Sista.

I'm a good lookin' damn near 50.

But I'm ahead of my time.

That often throws people off till they catch up.

Rebel?

Weezy?

Nahhhhhhh.

He's a Winner.

There's a difference.

The Black Man as WINNER makes white folks and apparently ... many black folks uneasy.

Peep the meme.

Seven Half Store said...

No, I don't think Weezy is a rebel. My point was simply that rebels dont retire as Constructive seems to suggest.

Damn near 50....get the fugg outta here. lol

JH said...

Ya'll thinkin too hard.

Being prosecuted on corrupt laws in a hypocritical world does not make you a political prisioner...it just makes you lucky in that you can get internet philosophers to justify your coonish ways.

Little wayne having 5 baby mamas isn't "evidence of his rejection of mainstream values that force him into monogamy"...nigga just forgot his rubber cuz he was high.

Having a bunch of guns aint for "protection against a violent world", its posture.

Spitting clever lyrics doesn't equal relevance, it just means you're talented.

The wild assignemnt of heft to people light in the ass make us sound like the umpteen cornball college professors I knew who had a hard on for Bigger Thomas, looking for the meaning of life in a ham sandwich.

Denmark Vesey said...

lol.

Yeah.

I hear ya J.

Dude aint "relevant".

Dude not "deep".

Dude locked up.

Dude just another nigger.

He shouldn't be allowed to own a gun anyway.

Nothing to it.

Nothing to see.

All hype.

Post a link to anybody more relevant and deep:


__________________________ ?

JH said...

I'm not sure I said that he wasn't deep...relevant...shouldn't own a gun....lost cred to me because he went to prison. You can't rebut an argument I didn't make, feel me? But if you can exaggerate his heft to the 100th power, then I can circle my wagons in the opposite direction.
And you can find somebody more relevant and deep on your own...you can google.

Denmark Vesey said...

"lost cred to me because he went to prison." JH

lol.

Why J?

Many credible people go to prison.

What crime did he commit?

What law did he break that merited the loss of 'credibility' with you?

Who is his victim?

Whether Lil Wayne's imprisonment has any political significance is yet to be determined.

It has the political significance we give it.

I submit, JH, this collective sense of satisfaction and comeuppance expressed by some black people regarding the imprisonment of some brothers is the product of knee-jerk conditioning and self-hatred.

The level of self-affirmation expressed by cats like Little Wayne seems to bother some Negros.

Gee Chee.

Where you at? You feel me on this one bra?

Notice the pattern?

The disproportionate hostility and summary rejection of a Lil Wayne reminds me of the bourgeois Chris Rock level Negros all too eager to reduce the deaths of Tupac and Biggie to ... "Dem niggas aint get uh-sas-i-nated! Dem niggas just got shot!"

They come off desperate and eager to thwart any and all introspection and consideration for the deeper meaning achieved by these cats.

It's almost as if they are saying "This Nigga Can't Be Deeper Than Meeeeee!

He's Just A Thug!

I Went Tuh College!!! How Can He Express Anything Beyond My Comprehension!!!

I should be higher up the Plantation Food chain than him!"

Shiiiiii.

I find these Rap Cats farrrrrr deeper and more creative thinkers than the Negros stumbling through state colleges and patronized HBC's.

Like my man said in the video, while watching Dutch TV:
"Yo. That dude is wearing a T Shirt that says 'Greatest Rapper Alive'. With my picture on it."

For a little black boy from the streets of New Orleans to achieve that kind of memetic gravity is something to be noted.

I give credit where credit is due.

What European is wearing a Harold Ford T Shirt?

A bunch of Plantation Negros running around still talking about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Affirmative Action should take notes.

Hell. A lame duck Black President about as politically potent as the NAACP should take notes.

JH said...

Whoa, whoa!...You misread my post. Pls re-read. Check it....
I said.....

"I'm NOT SURE I said that he wasn't deep...relevant...shouldn't own a gun....or lost cred to me because he went to prison."


That would be some sellout shit that is incapable of coming from my pen.

Big Man said...

Which rap cats do you count as deep thinkers among the current crop?

Lil Wayne

Drake

50

and who else?

And I'm willing to wager that Gee Chee ain't backing you up because he already made his feeling on Wayne clear on the other thread.

Personally, I don't like to see cats go to jail. Jail is no place for human beings.

But, I don't think Wayne is a political prisoner. No more than I would be a political prisoner if I got taken to the county lockup for failing to wear my seatbelt.

After all, which law is more of an infringement on my "rights", the seat belt laws, or the gun laws?

JH said...

All these dudes could be deep thinkers....it takes a hell of mind to create and to position oneself to be successful. Only a select few can do that.

However, the extent to which that deep thinking and talent equals relevance/importance is in question. Also in question is the extent to which the deep thinking is reflected lyrically and absorbed by the fan base. My position is that even if Wayne's rhymes mean the world (and I don't think they do), does it even affect more than a few people outside of his family and academics whose job it is to perceive meaning and assign value?
Listening to wayne is like watching LeBron...you can enjoy, appreciate, maybe be inspired. Can't see it going much beyond that with him.

that's waitin' fo' thuh bullet ho'...

Thordaddy said...

One isn't going to understand any of the rappers unless they understand radical autonomy. If your physical "god" is the white supremacist paradigm then you will attempt to liberate from white supremacy BY WAY OF radical autonomy. You will attempt to do that which only "mythical" blacks in ancient times actually experienced. And if you must smash this "god" and convey a liberation that ties into the modern landscape then your Second Amendment right to bear arms becomes a political meme worthy of propagation.

Cats against packin' just ain't "avante garde" when it comes to radical autonomy.

Mahndisa S. Rigmaiden said...

You are putting way too much on Lil Wayne. I think he is fucked up so much of the time that he doesn't know which way is up nor down.

And the fact that you champion him as some sort of independent freedom fighter is laughable.

He doesn't even read by his own admission. Don't you think that a person should read to be well informed? He doesn't have to read Newsweek or anything but he said he doesn't like reading. That is the most bassackwards plantation style 'keep niggas ignorant and in their place' type thinking I've ever heard!

Lest you try to accuse me of hating...Your girl Queen Valhara el Bey is an avid reader and more politically relevant than Lil Wayne right now. She has POWER to motivate people and her lectures on the laws of voids in contracts actually helped me to get a buddy out of a lawsuit!

DV:

The greatest irony of them all is that Lil Wayne was locked up due to the GUN CONTROL LAWS that many Negroes support.

It is far more important for them to strike out against GUN DEALERS because failing to control the guns at the "official" source of distribution - they know that Negroes will be the ones who get locked up for gun possession.

In truth they know that as a society they HAVE NO COMMAND over the INDIVIDUAL and his choices. The only thing they can do is to get the SYSTEM to "respect" the individual who otherwise "DOESN'T GIVE A WHAT".

We need to get the INDIVIDUAL to take AUTHORITY. Thus my main problem LIL WEEZY.

He is a walking, talking ANTI-AUTHORITY machine.

"Ms Officer" was a song that tried to COMPROMISE AUTHORITY. He "F'ed The Police" by screwing a FEMALE OFFICER.

He got an officer of the law who took an OATH to call her Sargent and tell him that she won't be coming in today. Instead she stayed at home and had sex with a Street Pirate.

PULL UP DV!!!!

Lil Weezy's lyrics are SELF-SERVING. How do you build a CULTURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS that our people live under when he and others are merely seeking to UNDERCUT any form of AUTHORITY?

Tell us what Lil Wayne believes in DV?
