Dope Tweetz: Lil Wayne Said He Will Never Work With Birdman Again

Today’s dope tweetz comes courtesy of rap legend Lil Wayne. —– Let’s be honest, in his tender 33 years and maybe 18 years of rapping, he EARNED that title. He’s definetly held a long lucrative rap career.

(Side note: For my writer friends who are clue less about Hip Hop happenings, here’s a 2 second rundown.) Lil Wayne and his ex label head, pa, friend, homie etc. — Baby aka Birdman have fallen out about money. $51 million or so. Lil Wayne says Birdman owes him the money, and he wants it now. Hell, he needs it, he’s got a family to feed.

Things are now so bad between the 2 that Wayne is having nervous breakdowns and damn near ready to quit rappin’. It’s hard to watch.

Nobody saw this falling out coming. I sure didn’t. But here it is… and it’s ugly.

WATCH: Jay Z Declares The War On Drugs “An Epic Fail”

Check out this scathing eye opening short documentary in which Hov addresses the war on drugs in the U.S.

Why are white men poised to get rich doing the same thing African-Americans have been going to prison for?

New York Times:

This short film, narrated by Jay Z (Shawn Carter) and featuring the artwork of Molly Crabapple, is part history lesson about the war on drugs and part vision statement. As Ms. Crabapple’s haunting images flash by, the film takes us from the Nixon administration and the Rockefeller drug laws — the draconian 1973 statutes enacted in New York that exploded the state’s prison population and ushered in a period of similar sentencing schemes for other states — through the extraordinary growth in our nation’s prison population to the emerging aboveground marijuana market of today.

We learn how African-Americans can make up around 13 percent of the United States population — yet 31 percent of those arrested for drug law violations, even though they use and sell drugs at the same rate as whites.
