Leave it to Bryan "Baby, Birdman" Williams to make sure that his paycheck, artist/adopted son Dwayne "Lil Wayne" Carter stays in the spotlight. Actually, it's not like Lil Wayne ever really leaves the spotlight, or is in need of extra shine time. Between releasing arguably good songs from equally as entertaining albums, tag-teaming the female population with his heart throb protege Drake, unleashing the latest rapping stripper, Nicki Minaj, on an awaiting… Read More

That headline is not a typo. TIME 100 Influential People of 2009 poll results has Lil Wayne currently listed at #12 and Barack Obama at #37. Maybe a few people actually agreed with Weezy when he said he was a gangsta journalist that won't ask questions.   Clearly this list is not finalized (I hope it's not finalized!), the editors make the final decision, but it does speak volumes about… Read More

And Lil Wayne looked like an Orthodox Jewish dude with his scarf draped over the lapels of his suit like that.   I kind of think pregnant girls should replace video "vixens." Instead of  alluding to male potentency through half-nekked girls and emphasizing their feminity through exaggerated boobs… Read More

Kiana, eat your heart out. For real, though, Wayne looks a little nervous being the one asking the questions, doesn't he? lol...at least he gave a random shout out to our alma mater, we like those.   … Read More

So yeah, Katie Couric managed to keep a straight face throughout what looks like will be a hilarious interview with Lil Wayne. The interview is set to air on February 4 as part of a CBS Grammy special, but clips of it are already creating a buzz on the Internets. After you peep this video, you will know why.
