I post this more on the fact that I really dislike Lil Wayne and his ‘style’ of music. On a song by Future that features Wayne, he refers to beating someone during a sexual act, and doing as much damage that was done to ‘Till’. The lyrics are
“Pop a lot of pain pills
Bout to put rims on my skateboard wheels
Beat that pussy up like Emmett Till”
This is referring to Emmett Till, the black teen from Chicago who was killed back in 1955. Till was killed for allegedly whistling at a white woman. He was beaten, eyes gouged out and shot in the head then had a cotton gin fan tied to his body with barbed wire and tossed into a river.
PepsiCo didn’t approve of his lyrics and cut ties with Wayne. I don’t know what kind of contract he had with PepsiCo but it’s gone now. Waynes publicist claims that the split was due to “creative differences.” Ya right. I just want him to go away and quit ruining music.

His former manager Melissa Philipian is suing Lil Wayne again and this time I think she has a good change of getting some more money. Apparently she was fired by Lil Wayne back in 2005 for…get this…booking a “sub-par” hotel room even though they had a 3 year agreement. What a chump! So Melissa sued him for failing to pay her $500k plus 15% of his earnings. Lil Wayne claimed he never signed this agreement and that she forged his signature. It was settled out of court for $375,000. Now it gets good. There is a YouTube video now showing that Lil Wayne lied under oath and that he did owe Melissa the original amount. I can’t find the video they are talking about. If anyone has it, please let me know.

Travis Barker is coming out with a solo album sometime this September and he’s got some pretty good friends helping him out. Oh like RZA, Lil Wayne, Swizz Beatz, Slaughterhouse, Raekwon and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine. Travis says:
“I’m producing and making all the music and then I’m getting all my favorite rappers and vocalist to be a part of it so it’s been a dream come true.”
