Weezy and his lawyers have cooked up a plea deal that will probably include a one-year jail sentence. Not too shabby for a charged that initially carried a 3-year charge. Now that big question is this: If Lil Wayne goes to jail, will Baby be granted conjugal visits?
I know how much TRU readers love and adore Young Weezy, so here’s another post to celebrate his unparalleled genius. I keed! I keed!!
Anywho, Justin from Angry Blue is an insanely talented graphic designer who has laced artwork for various rock, metal, and hip-hop artists. Live Nation tapped him to design a screen poster for Lil Wayne’s America’s Most Wanted Tour. The Wayne poster reminds me of Kanye’s Glow In The Dark poster.
Stop by Angry Blue and treat yourself to some eye candy.
“Facelift” (no tags)
Behold a brand new classic from Master Wayne, presumably from Rebirth. Enjoy.

It has come to my attention that we’ve gone a full 3 weeks without a Lil Wayne post on The Rap Up. Please accept my apology, fellow Weezyianans. To compensate for my past missteps, here’s Keri “I Hate Beyonce” Hilson performing her monstrous single, “Turnin’ Me On,” on Jimmy Kimmel Live alongside the Greatest Human of Ever.
I love it when people overreact to apparent sarcasm.

“Rizoh, i’d seriously like to know who allowed you to run this blog with all the bullshit you’re spewing out. You couldn’t even come up with an educated rebutle so you just nuthug him even more, and not only compare him to legends of other music genres. But to say hes better than all of them combined?How the fuck can you even compare one to the other when they’re seperated by decades and a completely different genre in itself.
I doubt i’ll actually get a dignified response from you, but do you consider yourself a journalist? I know this is your own blog and you’re entitled to your own opinion, but TELLING me that I “damn well know Weezy is the best” is pretty fuckin biased if you ask me.
Not even is that disrespectful to music itself, but its disrespectful to the black people to even think about putting Wayne is the same category as Marvin and Jimi.
Now do yourself and your fellow bloggers a favor and drink bleach. You do not deserve to be running this shit.”
Wu-Banga Says:
“Lol, here is the name of 8 rappers better than Lil gayne, RZA, GZA, O.D.B., Inspectah, Ghost Face killah, Raekwon the Chef, U-GOD, and The Method Man.”
Fat Joe (Ft. Lil Wayne & Ron Browz) – “Winding on Me”
Before you say anything ill-advised, keep in mind that I’m only posting this because it features the Bob Dylan of rap. Click at your own risk, I guess.

Little Weezy thanks his fans for pushing Tha Carter III past a millie, a millie, a millie…
[Via: Dodger Hightop]
Just like Kanye’s fans did last September, Weezy’s stans have come out to support their man in full swing. Tha Carter III is said to have topped 700,000 in sales and is expected to arrive at or near the 1 Million mark in its first full week. That’s a lot of CDs exchanging hands. Carter III’s already the top selling album in Canada for the week ending June 11.
Keep in mind that Tha Carter II sold 1.4 million overall. Now, we all know that Carter III pales in comparison to the outstanding Carter II. So, what’s going on here? Well, the French coined a word for this phenomenon back in the 1400s: loyalty. In other words, if you’re a Lil Wayne hater there’s nothing he could say or do to make you buy his album. But if you’re a Lil Wayne fan, there’s nothing he could say or do to keep you from buying his album.
Update: In its first week on the market, the rapper’s “Tha Carter III” sells just over 1 million units. The last album to top that milestone was 50 Cent’s “The Massacre” in March 2005. [via Billboard]
