Lil Wayne Got Jokes

“She (Lil Mama) got bigger nuts than me, no homo”

In this excerpt from Weezy’s The Nino Brown Pt. 2 DVD, it shows the playful and goofy side of Dwayne as he and Shad crack jokes on Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Lil Mama at the VMAs. Later, a spoonful of hot sauce is placed in YM artist Short Dawg’s mouth while he’s asleep in the studio. Better sleep with one eye open.

Happy Anniversary, D’Angelo’s Voodoo

Monday, January 25 2010 2:53 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Damn, today marks 10 years since D’Angelo last put out an album. 10 years! This guy is the male equivalent of Lauryn Hill. A musical genius who couldn’t handle fame who the general public still has their fingers crossed will one day come back and return to the top of the charts. Highly doubtful. You want D’s new shit? Buy his old album. Ha.
