Westwood TV – Lil Wayne behind the scenes of video shoot and interview on jail sentence (Video)
UK DJ Tim Westwood up in MIA catching up with Weezy on the set of his new video shoot.
Westwood and Lil Wayne discuss Wayne’s jail sentence and filming a plethora of videos before his incarceration.
Am I the only one curious about how Lil Wayne is going to do while & after doing time? To go from "No Ceilings" (i.e. staying high 24/7) to being locked down 24/7 has got to be a horse of a different mule!
Some might be surprised that I even know who Lil Wayne is—two factoids for yall who may not know. 1. I teach high school and if I want to stay relevant I got to know what's relevant to the students with whom I work (our program, SAC—Students at the Center—believes in what we call "social learning." We learn as a community: you from me, I from you, all us from we. We truly believe in learning from each other because we understand everyone knows something everyone else doesn't know. So if Wayne is relevant to our students, he has some degree of relevance to us (the nominal teachers).
But, reason #2 is even deeper: Wayne is an amazing rapper. I'm not sure what he does to stay so deep while constantly being so high... I'm pretty sure he's not going the traditional route of wide-ranging reading but if you check his vocabulary and his concepts, a bunch of it is bullshit but also the bullshit masks a brilliant mind at work... plus he is ultra productive. He gives away more than most artist sell in a life-time. (Or to quote one of his mixtapes: I hope you didn't pay for this shit.)
Anyway, love him or loathe him, he is a one of a kind and it will be very, very interesting to see what he's like when he comes out.
UPDATE: 1. The Saints won. 2. Lil Wayne's incarceration date was delayed until after dental surgery. What they going to do, wire his mouth shut to keep his ass from getting in trouble in the joint??? (Bad joke but he's got to be the first cat that I know of who got a temporary stay of a prison appointment because of a dental appointment—now that's amazing!)
