Can someone rectify this? Lil Wayne is definately not a rapper. Because he sucks dick. 130.88.186.26 (talk) 14:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the upcoming Rebirth, most of the music done by Lil Wayne has been rap. That aside, the article does state under genres, "hip hop" and "rock". Rebirth T hom 14:19, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone please find a better photo of Wayne? He looks like he's dead. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 21:29, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't you?Smokiewight (talk) 06:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

vocoder

in the music section, he never uses a vocoder. you people need to get it right. he uses AUTO-TUNE, pitch correction software. Similar to melodyne or Logic's Pitch correction plug in, it is NOt in any way shape or form like a vocoder —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregpadden (talk • contribs) 01:31, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yet Auto-Tune is described as an implementation of the phase vocoder algorithm....hmmmm. Xot (talk) 01:13, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lyrics Wiki

I set up a mediawiki to annotate and illustrate Lil Wayne lyrics. I invite you to contribute. This project is not directly affiliated with Wikipedia but I believe it will evolve into a uesful resource for Lil Wayne fans. Here's the link: http://www.weezylyrics.com Mike Wilt (talk) 06:13, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most of his if not all lyrics can be found at http://www.lilwaynesite.com. Thats the official fan site for lil wayne fans. I know theres alot of places to fins his lyrics but this is the best because it actually has the song to go along with the lyrics so its the best of both worlds for any lil wayne fan —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.147.53.58 (talk) 21:18, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interview with Katie Couric

Katie Couric interviewed Wayne on Wednesday night's Grammy special on CBS television. The interview contains some good info to expand the section on Wayne's early life. --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 00:45, 8 February 2009 (UTC) "Good info"sometimes can't be substantiated.We only have Wayne's word to go on.Smokiewight (talk) 06:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

lil wayne award's

He won the artist-voted MTV Europe Music Awards Artist's Choice Award, and won seven BET Hip-Hop Awards out of twelve nominations in October. Lil Wayne was also received three American Music Award nominations and one People's Choice Award nomination, and has won MTV's Video Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Video, as well as BET's Viewer's Choice Award. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.71.220.221 (talk) 01:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LIL' WAYNE HAS ONE DAUGHTER. THE INFO PROVIDED IN NOT CORRECT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.76.224.66 (talk) 08:12, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please include this in introductory paragraph for Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne is a four-time Grammy-Award winning American rapper. Dakid015 (talk) 23:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Issue with Television section

There are two sentences in the Television section that refer to his appearance on Around the Horn. Both are cited, and both have key elements. If someone wants to combine the two citations into one sentence, it would be more effective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawkdude56 (talk • contribs) 00:55, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Put this on lil waynes main page plz.

i think that him winning grammy's should go on main page because he should be noted for that so...

He won a grammy for best rap song lollipop, best solo performance for amilli, best rap performance by a duo or group for swagga like us, and best rap album for carter 3. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.177.205.118 (talk) 22:17, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

== Lil wayne is getting sued again ==TORI IS HIS BIGGEST FAN!!!

sued for 1.3 million dollars because of 3 concert cancillations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.230.86 (talk) 03:00, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Future Work Section and Rebirth Section Need Updates

In a very recent article (2/19/2009) from MTV: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1605400/20090219/lil_wayne.jhtml ; There are 2 new pieces of information: Wayne's rock album Rebirth now has a set date for May 19, 2009. Wayne has also reiterated that Tha Carter IV will be released in 2009 before the holidays and he is also working on a Hot Boys Reunion LP and Young Money Entertainment LP.

Quote FTA: "In addition to Rebirth, Wayne is still working on Tha Carter IV, the Hot Boys reunion LP and an album featuring all the artists on his Young Money label, including Mack Maine, Jae Millz, Kid Kid and Nicki Minaj."

Please make these changes ASAP.

Yeah man, Dwayne only has one daughter and one son, there definately is NOT two daughters, so that REALLY needs to be changed, cause it should have been changed by now. That would be great y'all. ^-stephaanie (talk) 23:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely..that needs to be changed! im reading it and it says two daughters. please. Its just one daughter and one son. so you guys need to hurry up and change that! ASAP —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.58.87.236 (talk) 18:50, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How Can I Edit the Discography Section of the Page???

I know of a few more official mixtapes that he released that have not been added to the "Discography" section. I would like to edit that information and add them. Thanks-ThisIsThaCarterThisIsThaCarter (talk) 02:35, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "Drought Is Over" Mixtape Series? I have finally got a hold of all the official copies of the "The Drought Is Over" mixtape series hosted by The Empire and Lil Wayne. Can I have permission to put them under the mixtape section and create a new page for each of them. I have the correct track listing and song titles. I also have the original artwork for it. I can also post reviews from websites for some of them. DroKIDCASH (talk) 01:13, 14 April 2009 (UTC) DroKIDCASH[reply]

edit proffession

please someone edit the thing about occupation on the right side of the article ( gay porn star) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.169.228.3 (talk) 12:02, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nicknames (list)

most people that are familiar with Lil Wayne know that in his songs (and there are a lot of them) he refers to himself as a number of nicknames, such as: Weezy, Best Rapper Alive, Birdman Junior, Young Money, Young Money Millionaire, Weezy F. Baby, The Carter, ect.

I think a section listing his many nicknames is needed here.

Musical Career

Someone vandalized under the article "Musical Career". Should be deleted immediately.

REDIRECT Lil Wayne

he is not the best jay-z is —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.152.207.141 (talk) 13:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC) I LUV LIL WAYNE BITCHH[reply]

Unverified Source

The statement about him losing his virginity at age eleven's citation is youtube.com. This is unverified and should be edited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thenachoman (talk • contribs) 22:12, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UNRELIABLE SOURCE!

The statement about Lil Wayne losing his virginity does not have a reliable source; youtube.com. IT SHOULD BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY or VERIFIED!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thenachoman (talk • contribs) 14:26, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's an interview. It's reliable no matter what site uploads the video. SE KinG. User page. Talk. 16:38, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. YouTube is not a reliable source, and videos from youtube cannot be used as sources.—Kww(talk) 16:44, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly what's the difference if YouTube or MTV uploads a video. It's still the ARTIST themselves saying the information. SE KinG. User page. Talk. 17:03, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can trust MTV not to doctor the video and audio to misrepresent the interview. The same cannot be said about anonymous YouTube posters.—Kww(talk) 03:23, 29 March 2009 (UTC)and he likes boys.[reply]

If I may - I do not think it is an issue - and I think no matter what site uploads it it's the interview that counts. It is like saying a documentary posted on youtube is not a documentary at all. I honestly don't see the conflict in this argument.Babylonian Armor (talk) 14:04, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly ... a documentary posted by an anonymous uploader on YouTube can't be treated as a documentary at all. There needs to be credibility and reliablity in the publishing chain, or the source isn't reliable.—Kww(talk) 14:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
