June 12th is too fucking far away!
someone beta leak it early!! Wanna hear that ‘Nightmares of the Bottom’ joint…
Lets see how he did…
lets just hope we wont hear songs off Rebirth and I Am Not A Human Being lol
^ Haha…
Hard Work, Pays off
CANT WAIT TO WATCH !!!! ymcmb
GUESS THAT TRACKLIST THAT LEAKED WAS FAKE AS HELL
ALL BAD
It’s 2011 no camera phone caught the performance? Damn I wish i knew somebody who went CRAZY!!
I can guarantee u they were heavy on the cell phone security in there
What a photo btw. Can’t wait for this, at the end of the day Wayne is a real artist and lives for the essence of being a musical icon. He’s Hip Hops’ Nirvana and Stones. Nightmares of the Bottom sounds like something with content too, should be good.
wanye good but gucci betta. gooch should be next
@Tim Lee Va Stand Up How do you know, or you’re just guessing?
WHERE ALL THE GANGSTAS AT???????????????????????????????????????????????
WAYNE AND WILLIAM SHOULD REALLY CHANGE THEIR LYRICAL CONTENT TO FIT THEIR FANS
@Ashin It should wit all this shit going on n the south(if that what he mean by bottom) should be dope!
I FUCKIN HATE U!!!! LADY GAGA GAVE ME HERPES!!!!
@ Sean
Well, MTV Unplugged is a pretty big deal like stated above. I’m just saying this is an exclusive even and usually pretty organized. This isnt an event you just go buy tickets too, either you get selected to go or you win something, and this sells on DVD and CD/iTunes later on. And of course it was filmed and will show on MTV as a special later too, so its more about keeping the hype concealed until it airs.
Dope!!!! but i never heard of this what else performer did this
he not gonna fuck this up by doin shitty songs off rebirth and im not a human being, i bet the performance is sick…. lil wayne put out some trash but when he knows he should be doing something right he does it right.
DAYUUUmm the report for that just intensified the hype for this album, C4 LETS GOO
Ya to bad Jay did that shit a decade ago!!
@Mr.G
Yea MTV hasn’t done this in a while I believe the last MTV Unplugged was 2001 Jay-Z.
[…] text me today saying congratulations. It is that kind of thing. I felt great about it.
Do y’all remember when Wayne was on Saturday night live… And he was performing against eminem…then Wayne came out with that 6 foOt 7 and completely destroyed eminem performance…well I bet he did the same thang there…destroyed It…Ha !
LL Cool Jay was the 1st rapper to show others how it goes down on MTV unplugged 1991
MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT
I believe b4 Jigga came The Fugees
Still a dope show of rappers with a band.

@Yup! Remember when Wayne was performing, and he ran across stage, tripped, and fell? Im betting it’ll be something like that!….Ha!
homosexual
i think you mean performing “WITH” eminem @Yup! not “AGAINST”. stop dickriding wayne and making it seem like he did something when all he did was perform a song, same as em did. aint no competition. leeching ass niggas like you making up shit are what makes ppl hate an artist. faggot ass stans overhyping shit. smh.
No hate but when i went on youtube and look up jayz unplug mtv. he sound out of breath and different live then vs non live? still a dope performace though
Im a Eminem stan but come on man he has zero stage presence which is kina boring.
Rap Radar stop using the word “swag”, you’re not Odd Future and it’s not 2007 man.

Actually LLC performed with a coupe of other rappers on special called yo unplugye
Yeah dis shit about 2 be epic
Lil wayne is a great performer can’t even hate!
I thought the taping was weeks away smh
Can’t wait to see this shit. Where did Em’s name come from lol??
Anyway, ppl can say what they want but Wayne is a Hip Hop Icon now and his place in history has been marked. After 2 more albums, he’ll be releasing his Greatest Hits album, i bet, i can picture the list. Dude got a crazy catalog
@PPtheTruth: The etymolgy of swag is prolly debatable, as with most words and phrases, but I’m going with the shorthand of swagger which came waaaaay before ’08. “I guess I got my swagger back” in ’01 is the obvious one and Sean Corey prolly got it from the street but his ability to help propel trends definately contributed. I remember from that point on everybody ran with the term, especially sportscasters who are known for mining hip-hop expressions. This makes sense in the context of how the word evolved to used in hip-hop “hop up out of bed turn my swag on…”
I just don’t see the logical link from goodie bags to hip-hop even in the hands of the wierdos and hipsters, but anything is possible I guess.
Can’t wait to see this show by the way. Great selection of the first pic released. I wonder what took so long between the last one. I would’ve thought maybe Em would’ve had one, maybe even Luda………wait, T.I. and Jay (prolly others) had the “Storytellers” on the sister network so maybe that was used to fill the void.
Looking at this pic reminds me that these exclusive audiences almost always look less diverse than one would expect. I imagine it takes lots of connects to get one of the coveted spots.
I’d love to see these events created at great venues in urban centers where memorable moments can be made that aren’t just for MTV’s shareholders, its still good ish though, don’t get me wrong.
Should be dope. Wayne is a decent performer.
Lol @ hiphop unplugged. Disgrace to all the REAL musicians who came before
@Smoke You….you do realize rappers aren’t playing the instruments right??
I think ?uestlove would find your disgrace laughable folk
Those guitars look like some (very plugged in) electric guitars to me. *Confused…..*
Wayne covers 2Pacs Hail Mary!?????????!???????????!?!
