Lil Wayne may be a self-professed gangsta with the gunshot wound to prove it, but he’s made plenty clear how he feels about doing time behind bars.

@Nation
As the growing elders of this hiphop shit, it is our responsibility to teach the youth about all the great ignorant/ negative/hyperviolent that existed prior to this era of homolove rap. Maybe – if only for comedic effect – you could find a way to incorporate this concept into your current or future website, Nation. Kind of like a digital Mad Rapper.

Jimmy Valentime be rapping in the wrong key, at the wrong pitch, with the wrong tone, for the wrong beat, on the wrong song …
February 28th, 2010 at 3:12 pm
I feel you. Bear just started a tumblr so he won’t even mind if I go back to wmdeez, but I think if I really stop trying to be mature and act like a kid again, I can just reincarnate wmdeez in The Calm. the problem is, after a few years of working on Nah, I don’t look at rappers the same way as I used to. like, I don’t give a fuck about them and don’t think I could ever praise them like that again.
then again, after working here… all the shitty music I hear makes me appreciate old stuff that much more
ya dig
^>what is this maturity you speak of, what act? Do what the fock you feel like, do you ever turn on the news? Everybody else is! Don’t limit it though, all forms of media that kind of falls inline with whereever you’re trying to go. Also, less of Sean P, is more. Don’t tell him I said that though.

February 28th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
this nicca valentime was picked on in the retarded class for being dyslexic and he used to say “just watch…one day i’ll be a rapper!”
congrats, jimmy, it happened. but the problem is, you’re the worst of all time
ok second worst…lil B is actually worse:

man, its the calm isn’t a disappointment
shit was going fine until I started thinking fuck rappers
I just gotta be reminded it’s about the music, and not the artists
everybody chill
^
I understand what you mean. This whole blogging shit is getting tough. Seriously feels like the rap game. I just hate when people tell me to start a blog and then I realize others already did what I wanted to do and it’s just hard to think of something different that can bring views yet let me do what I feels is good when it comes to posting. I’ve witnessed people start blogs and all their sources are the NMC, Hypebeast, and some indie site and they act like they being innovative. Shit’s ridiculous.
At the time WMDEEZ was a good idea, you left that for Nah which got you where you are today, you started It’s the Calm as a side project (no?) and it’s now 2010 and shit def. changed. It’s like you did Be, got more followers on Finding Forever, and now you on Universal Mind Control which might of not been a well thought out idea but maybe you just gotta go back to the desk and start thinking up The Believer and know going back to the old shit is necessary if you wanna stay relevant.

wow
February 28th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
but, to be fair, it’s not like I’m being Jay Electronica with this shit… I actually have NR that fills up most of the free time I used to have, but I really wanna get this site off the ground because I still have the same taste in music, it’s just better now
I just need to stop posting music on Twitter/Facebook and hit the site with it, I think you’ll all fuck with it. another thing I’ve resolved to do is to stop talking about it, because it just sounds stupid if I haven’t done it yet
thanks for all the imput, I’m gonna keep in mind how strongly you felt about wmdeez. I appreciate that for real
February 28th, 2010 at 3:26 pm
GO CANADA GO!!!!!
February 28th, 2010 at 3:27 pm

^>nothing else needs to be said now. Except, Twitter makes you retarded. I thought I understood the point of it, but I hope I don’t. Why create a new way to communicate, but limit the capacity. In effect subconsciously training a whole new era of kids to be… Another topic for another day.
February 28th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
Yo, STFU B. This is Nah Right, not The Calm.
Save that shit for your own site.
February 28th, 2010 at 4:14 pm

>> This is Nah Right, not The Calm.

@verses:
lol. I refuse to give up hope for these kids. there’s got to be a way to deter them from all this faggoty madness that’s so popular.
Maybe marathon listening sessions of Mobb Deep’s early catalouge forced upon the youth?
February 28th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
Canada won!
Game was tense as hell, the US tied up the game with 24 seconds left, but Crosby won it for us in OT.
*daps all other Canadians*
February 28th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
I blame a these dance songs I live in Houston all I hear is hitem with that flex, do the stanky leg, and I look good smh
February 28th, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Congrats To Canadia. That’s American for Canaduh.
Anyhow, the Mobb Deep thing worked for me. As a teenager, I went from playing soccer (gay) to selling cracks from the park bench and knocking niggas out just for breathing ( not gay, Dun). I’m just saying if it worked for me, it could work for anybody!

^I knew the nuggets was gonna lose today, no way was the lakers gonna let the nuggets of all teams swept them in the regular season. And that last call on melo was bullshit, I walked out the room after they called that one. and I swear that J.R smith was born w/o a brain.
