Lil Wayne: Wikipedia Entry Fun Facts

Untitled3 Damn I love me some Wikipedia.  And I've really been taking a shine to Lil Wayne lately (I just got The Carter II and it's consistently good, which is pretty much a miracle for a rap album these days).  Who knows if any of this is true, but there are some real gems buried in here:

  • At the young age of 13, Wayne would drop out of school to fully pursue a rap career.
    Precocious! 
  • It should be noted that Wayne didn't rap about adolescent issues, unlike most child rappers who perform bubblegum rap until their late teens. He did, however, refrain from swearing in his rhymes at the behest of his mother, which has contributed to his rapping skills.
    This is probably crap.
  • In 2006 Lil Wayne released his critically acclaimed sequel to his Dedication mixtape with DJ Drama called Dedication pt. 2. On it, he included an outro track entitled "Georgia....Bush" on which he addresses the problems surrounding the government's response to Hurricane KatrinaNew Orleans, Lousiana and also places a large amount of blame on President George W. Bush. Throughout the track, he claims that theories of the government sabotoging the levees of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward were indeed true.
    Not only was this song great, it was 10 times better than that "George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People" song by The Legendary KO (I think he is some shitty Houston rapper).
  • Lil' Wayne has one daughter, Reginae Carter, by his stylist.
    Is she still his stylist?  Is this why he rocks dreads?
  • On August 14, 2006, Lil' Wayne was arrested on charges of possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. Police claim the rapper was in possession of several unlabeled bottles — one containing 60 pills of Alprazolam, a generic form of Xanax that is used to treat anxiety disorders and panic attacks; another containing 59 hydrocodone pills.
    Jeez, Wayne, get a grip - you're practically carrying an entire pharmacy in your trunk!
