See, now this is why Lil Wayne has a long way to go to be the Best Rappe Alive. Not only do you have to be a great artist, but you also have to be a smart business person. This is not something that a smart business man/woman would do. All you have to do is get a permit. How hard is that?? Stupid!!!!
It is not easy to get a gun lisence. First of all you can not be a felon, which knocks out most rappers. Why do you think people like fifty have body gaurds that are ex police or police. It has nothing to do with being a snitch or working with the police. You see he is never pulled over for anything. None of listen to Pappose. He told yall if you ain't got no felonies get your gun license. I am a female and a I am proud card carrying member of the NRA and I have a pistol license.
@2hott and sheman...Avalon is 18 and over, and in this city whenever a party is 18 and over expect to see chicks in baseball caps sneakers. I was out last weekend and this weekend and was blown away by the amount of chicks who wear flip flops to trendy upscale clubs. So I guess there is no getting away from that. Sorry a little off topic but whatever.
Wassup people.......
Okay, who told Ja to come outta Queens and get arrested, knowing his ass hasn't been in the game for a MINUTE. Is he still even famous enough to get arrested by our police force? lol
Weezy, well you want to be like Jay, and this arrest was a wake up call mama! You will never run this rap game but for so long, you will never achieve Jigga's success and the only parts of NYC you will see is outta Big Albert's cell in the precinct!!!! Now go back to Baby with that shyt! YEZZZIRRR lmao....

PUBLICITY STUNT!!
We haven't heard anything from Ja Rule in years. Now all of a sudden he's drawing attention to himself and getting arrested before his album comes out?!?!?
And isn't he working on music with Lil' Wayne too?!?! Why would he be standing out in the street smoking weed unless he WANTED to get caught.
They need to stop insulting us with this kind of stuff. Their music should speak for itself!
I HEARD THAT RAPPERS DO BE PURPOSELY GETTING IN THE POLICE WAY WHEN THEY DROP A NEW JOINT., THIS MAY BE THE CASE HERE, I MEAN THEY CANT REGISTER a gun cause most of them have felonies, or on probation for priors, LORD!!! OUR YOUNG black men.. you cant put money and fame in anybodies hand. now days rappers just stay in the spot light, always arrested for some stupid crap.. and the reason that most of them be carrying guns is because they been treatened by some one. we only know what we see in the media
I see why our black youth are so messed up. These are the people that many of our Black youth look up to. This rap crap is a pollutant and destroying our community with its negative lyrics that are demeaning especially to the Black people.
Take what Diana Ross said when she accepted an award recently. You can still have longevity in a career without calling someone Bitches and Hoes and might I add, smoking marijuana in public! Dumb asses!
Indeed @ Inormally....and my love is blind can't you see my desire lol
QueenofNY I love hip hop music, I grew up around it, I was raised on it, but best believe this ish out here now is not rap. It's a trashy impostor of rap, and please better us not listenin to that annoying as Grundge, heavy metal music that them white children listen to then go shooting up malls and schools and shyt. You can't name one mass black murder that was triggered because of a Jay-Z or Lil Kim record now could ya?
And even though Diana is right, she has no business critiquing someone. Hell she's worse than Puffy, her ass slept with all her managers and bosses to get to the top, so I know her puzzy must be platinum like her records!
ROTFLMAO AT BKLYNROGUE..... AT THE DIANA COMMENT
don't really understand the weezy bashing, dude is good at what he do I can care less who he trying to be like, dude got skills and what this hiphop generation is lacking which is actual talent.... its like thats the only thing yal got on him so what he wants to be like jigga, which I highly doubt It was just admiration, so what he does this and that, DUDE GOT SKILLS THATS ALL THAT MATTER! LOL....
damn C I swear you might need to talk to someone about this bey and jay obsessio... its like you bash any and everything that comes at these two lol.. its abnormal dude! but you still my dogg lol...
I feel you earingchick! Wayne does not need to do a publicity stunt in order to boost JaRule's career, just by letting him on his latest track is enough! My boo dont give a [EXPLETIVE], he can carry a weapon and smoke weed if he wants to, sure he might get locked up...But can you imagine how many times he's been caught and without being arrested. He gets high! That's what he does! Thats who he is! All the great ones are fellons, what else is new...at least he aint out here killing nobody. Everybody done smoked a lil weed, you could've got caught too. As for JaRule....That man just tryna do whateva he can to get his name back out there. And to all you [EXPLETIVE] cat Cater haters...get mad we gone get MONEY! That's YOUNG MONEY ya dig! Mrs.WEEEZZZY!
@BklynRogue...I'm not a huge Diana Ross fan either. However, her message was clear and correct. I agree she did sleep her way to the top. I'm not sure with any women like Puffy who I'm sure has slept with many men.
Lil Kim is purely FAKE. I loved her when she kept sh*t real. She's gone too Hollywood now. Just fake, fake......
Jay-Z I simply adore and can't say one bad thing about him.
THE TRUTH !!!
I was at the il Wayne show last night at Beacon theatre of 72nd street. Wayne took 2 hours to come on stage. When he did he stated that this was his last show in NYC because of how thw cops were treating him since he arrived. Ja rule was one of his special guests. They did Uh Oh- Kanye and Juelz was there too. When I was on my way home- I saw that their tour bus was pulled over by about 60th street. It wasnt a regular NYPD car. It was like a special kind of jeep, kinda indicating some type of special police squad "hip hop police" maybe. Wayne was real humble at the show- He thanked his fans at least 5 times saying he was nuthin without them. Me reading the paper hearing of the arrest really bothered me. Especially since he spoke out about them harrassing him before the show. Our artists and culture is being attacked. They know these stars need to protect themselves; so they go after them instead of the real criminals.
If LiL Wayne lives to be an old man he's gonna look like a fool..
Can you imagine what the CNA's at the old folks home is gonna think whe they have to come in and change him...
Cause lets face it, alot of the black entertainers make millions of dollars when they are young but most of them die broke...
Isn't that sad.
LIL wayne shoulda been carrying a light saber like in star wars to kill some of his alien family members- he is a TROLL, GARGOYLE and ALIEN all in one...whats with the shaven upper lip....spells - 'how you doin' to me...and ja rule...well he needs to return to the kingdom hall and get back with jehovah!
please! you cannot blame this generation on rap music! you can blame the actions of this generation on the last generation b/c those are the parents. and parents are the first, and should be only, role models. the people blaming the entertainers are the people whose children are locked up, will be, or are the problem children in their class. and some of you fit into that category. people always want to point the finger when, in reality there are a bunch of sorry ass parents who want the schools and tv to raise their children. a responsible parent teaches their children that what they see on tv is ENTERTAINMENT. a responsible parent teaches their kids right from wrong, and accept the responsibility for the actions of their children. U have to give your child foundation, not rappers and ballers.
