Lil Wayne is Satan’s Homeboy

Radio personality Charlagmange tha God is waging a war against evil. Per him, there is an insidious movement crawling through the bowels of Hip-Hop and C tha God is putting his all into bringing it to an end. It’s a classic battle of good vs. evil and if the bearers of light don’t win, there is a chance you and yours are in mortal danger. Just in case you are wondering, the leader of the dark side is Lil Wayne.

While the above intro errs on the side of the dramatic, this is not a joke. C tha God is dead ass serious in his claims that Lil Wayne is wicked. Recently, he started referring to Weezy as the devil. He doesn’t mean literally with horns and a pitch fork riding shotgun. His issue is with Wayne’s feeding of all that is bad in urban America to our children in a cool, glamorized sort of way. The glorification of gang violence, the public drug use and Wayne’s lack of a moral code have just pissed C off to the highest level of pistivity and he feels we all should be just as angry. I really hope C knows that plenty of folks agree.

I’m really not sure if this started with the BET Awards or not, but that’s where I picked up the trail. One of the last performances of the night was the ill conceived ode to banging every girl on planet earth (I’ll pass. Thanks.) which came complete with pre-pubescent dancers in tow. Since then C has called for the station he works for to stop playing Wayne’s music.

Then a couple of days ago, a recording of Wayne being interviewed by someone from Ozone surfaced. And believe it or not, all of Charlamagne’s suspicions were confirmed by Wayne himself. Wayne told the reporter:

“Fuck what they think, the world think. We real. I have four teardrops on my face and I have to look my momma in her eye everyday. I can’t lie to her. Fuck what they think, the world think, we real. My moma real with it. The first day I got a tear drop, ask my buddy he was with me, I lied. I called her and asked her can I get it when I already had it. What she say? When you get it come by me so I can see how you look with it cause I was thinking about getting one my fucking self. Like we don’t play no.. I don’t… I’m not gonna rap about you. Man I will murder you, your family, your child, a newborn. I don’t give a fuck. I could never go to hell cause I’m gonna take over, bitch.”

Sigh…

I’ll be honest. I don’t believe a word of this nonsense. I think Wayne is locked so tightly into the trajectory of his image that he has no choice but to say things like this. I also believe that somewhere deep within the recesses of Universal, there are some suits applauding his confirmation of his hell bound gangsta.

Is Lil Wayne the devil? Of course not. However, according to both Wayne and Charlamagne, he’s worse than the devil. Feel how you want about Waynes right to say or do as he pleases because he has tons of money, but the bottom line is C is right. Our children are way too impressionable to contend with a pop culture icon and win without our help. And I’m not really interested in giving anyone my money who claims they would not hesitate to pop a cap in my kids ass. I roll with Charlamagne on this one.
