5/18 Dedication 3: I love Lil Wayne

Email excerpt of the day: "i love you long time...or is that ruv you rong time (as the chinese say...just because they're good at algebra and invented gunpowder we're supposed to pay them more leniency on the freeway and school zones when they take a left down an alley across three lanes of traffic...fuck that)"

I could give nothing in response except: "I almost went all Cobain-Hemmingway yesterday to show my wall what's up with a little bit of grey matter (better upgrade that shit-- 'cuz one day it may matter... oh Del... where are you when a n***** is down and Mos Def cares more about custom birthday cakes and Dasani commercials than he does keeping it rizeal?? Between that and Common 'Peace Love & Gap'n like an o******** in a Death Cab hoodie, I'm all fed up with hip-hop stars. Only Lil Wayne is keeping it on LOCK DOOOOOWN."

For real, he is. Dude released probably the best hip-hop album of last year, then came back with a 29 song mix-tape that he gave away free on the internet to say 'fuck the industry' 'fuck the mix-tape industry' and 'fuck all you wack-ass rappers who act like R&B singers'. Then he videotapes himself in the studio ranting about them and posts it on YouTube. He's like "WORK, N****, WORK! What have you done??"

The full rant is here and it's definitely worth watching. So is this, which is Wayne serving up Jay-Z by freestyling better than he writes (you may recognize the song from those Budweiser commercials-- Jay-Z is a master salesman, but not the greatest rapper-- Wayne is the shit: "I got that pussy runnin' like a faucet", OHHH!) However, this is the video to watch, from Lil Wayne's Dedication 2 album. I can't wait for Barbara to do the remix:



Oh, me? I worked like a mother fucker again today and went through 2 more drafts to get the new story to a point where I was happy enough with it (just under 4,000 words) that I could send it off to Liz for her editing prowess. Until it comes back I'm not even looking at the god damn thing and am focusing on other things, like reading, and travel arrangements, and this new box of Stanley Chardonnay that has a higher alcohol content than any of the previous varieties.

Fuck you, I deserve this.

Drink Count: 7

You got a video, that's way better than a damn picture...
