Lil Wayne, I see what you’re trying to do here and there is no way you are pulling the silver paint over my eyes. Your debut collection for your fashion line Trukfit — which stands for “The Reason You Kill For It” — is pretty unimpressive. Even more unimpressive is the gimmicky way you tried to grab attention for the line of just so-so tT-shirts — by dousing a bunch of male models with silver paint. Those poor boys! [NYMag.com]
“I just figure that I … I’m funky. I got that from my stylist, Marisa. I’m funky, like she say. … A year from now, I want all these items to be mine. Rebirth. I want – I just figure people want to be funky like me, so I got my clothing line.”
–Rapper Lil Wayne on his upcoming fashion line, Rebirth, named after his latest album, in XXL magazine. Dress like Wayne? Anyone, anyone? Bueller? [MTV] Keep reading »
Kick ass! A nine-year-old and a 10-year-old who call themselves Watoto From The Nile wrote and performed a hip-hop song about rapper Lil Wayne’s derogatory and sexist lyrics. How much do you love these little girls? Amelia, when you retire in 2031 and replace yourself with the five-year-old girl who won’t marry until she has a job, can these cuties replace me, Kate and Ami?

Lil Wayne endured a torturous dental session that included eight root canals in eight hours. The dentist worked on his grillz, added more implants, redid several other implants, and repaired the few real teeth the rapper had left. Can you imagine how awful Wayne’s breath was if he needed all this work? He probably didn’t feel the pain, though, because syzzurp is a hell of a drug. And this oral surgery allowed him to stay a free man until March 2. [TMZ]
Do you think you would have survived a gut-wrenching surgery like this? What’s the worst pain you’ve experienced? Mine was a bone marrow biopsy, which involved drilling into the marrow of my pelvis while I was fully awake. Now, every time I get menstrual cramps I think: “Is this all nature’s got? Bring it on — I can take more and them some.” Keep reading »
It’s new release Tuesday, folks, and that can mean only one thing: It’s time to take the fresh tunes for a spin. I know we were all counting on a groundhog today (six more weeks of winter, wah!), but this week has another beacon of hope, nay, ridonkulous awesomeness. Last year, I was addicted to Animal Collective’s mind-blowingly special gem, Merriweather Post Pavillion. And about a year later, another album in the same sonically distorted vein has come to be—Toro y Moi’s Causers Of This. Does this mean there’s a new psychedelic electro-noise experiment genre?! Dang, music is so exciting sometimes. After that act, it was hard for Lil Wayne, Soft Pack, and Nick Jonas to follow, but alas, they’re all brand shiny new this week and they deserve a chance to dance, romance, and entrance. So, let’s get into the groove, after the jump! Keep reading »
It’s new release Tuesday, so it’s time to take the latest tunes for a spin! As I’ve been writing this, my own jams have been competing with my neighbor’s — he just got a karaoke machine for the holidays. Must admit, the dude can really do justice to the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Under The Bridge.” But, the question remains, will you be blaring Mary J. Blige, Young Money, or Hurricane Chris new releases 15 years down the road in your living room? So, let’s get into the groove after the jump … Keep reading »

Is there a new man in RiRi’s life? The singer was spotted bowling in New York City this week with a few friends, including Aubrey “Drake” Graham who was reportedly getting super-friendly with our girl. And when we say “getting super-friendly,” we mean “making out.” A New York Post “spy” said, “She was drinking whiskey and apple juice and making out with him all night. They were really cute together.” Could she have officially pulled herself out of the gutter that is Chris Brown? Here’s everything you need to know about her potential new flame. Keep reading »
