I’ll watch it but first he looks Ridiculous (sp?)!!!!!!!!
THANKS FOR THE U OF H SHOUT OUT WAYNE! THE SOUTH!
i give he props. he doesnt have to go get an education, but he is doing so. sending out a really good message.
He looks cute w/ his rock swag
Okay I didn’t watch it but I did listen to it.
LOL when ol gurl Joy said ‘can I read your face.’ I remember hearing that he was an all A student and now hes taking a few college classes good for him!!! That should be very influential to a lot of ppl who look up to him.
he’s straight up urrghh
but,, ppoor thaaangg LOL
Man I wish I was in those classes w/Wayne in Houston.
But whats up with the Tracie Chapman hat tho? lmao
I still love him!! And are ya’ll gonna post “Every Girl” with him & Drake I think it is with another Young Money artist?
Is it just me or is Sherri flirting with him a little, hmm
He interviews well though, but still looks like a druggie hobo. I
he is so inspirational
First of all, I was shocked when I heard he was going to be on there. I did not know how it would turn out, but it was good. #8, yes she was flirting w/him, along w/Joy who always looks like she wants to jump on the brothas when they come on there. Joy’s so cool. Yes, Elizabeth is annoying, but she seemed like she was in awe of him up until the substances question. His locks look great.
My gosh Elisabeth is soooo annoying!!! that woman never shuts up shes always interupting and tryna talk over people. I dont know how whoopi and the rest of them put up with her…lol
great wayne thats very good! talented and hard worker but very oooooooglllèèè (ugly) from the outside but seems good from the inside! :d
I appluad him for continuing his education and being real about his influence on the youth. I’m glad Whoopi brought up his education cuz Sherri just wanted to talk bout some straight to bootleg movie they did together.
13. I pretty much agree with you all on your points esp the bootleg movie… I thought he was well spoken and thought about his answers before he gave them out.
CONCRETELOOP, I am disappointed in you for attacking Elizabeth. She is a PARENT and she has every right to bring up the drug issue. It’s no secret that rappers, especially LIL WAYNE, are notorious for glorifying drug usage (among other things). As a parent, this is definitely an area of concern. Where have our morals gone in this society? I am so sick of black people propagating everything evil. So a mother can’t voice her concerns about using drugs without being criticized? what is f***king wrong with this country? it is a damn shame and concreteloop should be ashamed. SMH.

I agree, let folks ask the questions they want to ask, most folk are just made because Elizabeth plays devils advocate on the show but she can asks what she wants just like any of those harpies….
I despise L’il Wayne and his hold over young people, esp. the ones who claim he has lyrics and flow. Just b/c people who don’t know real hip-hop (i.e. Rakim, KRS-One, ATCQ) like Wayne/his songs doesn’t mean he got skills. And he looks like a freakin’ walking disease! That is all.
I dont know why everyone has a problem with elizabeth. All she did was ask a question. And i think its kinda pointless for lil wayne to go to school 2 be honest.
Wayne is mor than rap.. he Intelligent.. articulate.. talented. Point Blank Period. He is the new generation of Hip Hop.. give all this other ish’ a rest. Yes there were people before him that help make hip jop what is is today, but at some point we have to accept that hip hop has evolved. Come on people. Noone can deny his talent, no one can deny that this dude is intelligent. Elizibeth ha the right to ask what she wants, but she’s always coming at people sideways. SNL has her down!! (hilarious)
im shocked he was even on the view first of all…but i love wayne
…that dude said yes i love to smoke!! lmao
u gotta have love for someone who keep it real like that
Anywho.. No onw can touch wayne right now.. Not even you folks searching for something negative to say.. God bless your pitiful hearts!! Forgive my possible spelling error.. trying to drive and comment.
I can’t stand EH everything that comes out her mouth is negative I didn’t see it but I hope Whoppi checked her like she usually does.
WOW…I have a new respect for Wayne. I have never heard him interview..only rap (don’t watch much tv). I must say he knows how to intelligently conduct himself when around others…He is very well-mannered.. GO WEEZY!!! LOL
When are the Hot Boys coming out with music? Wayne is ok but I need some new Juvenile, dude is neccessary in game
I think that is so good that he is in college courses, taking classes just so you can bank is not the only part of college!
I HATE PEOPLE WHO HATE ON WAYNE
I LOVE LIL WAYNE
HE’S SUCH AN EDUCATED,HUMBLE CUTE GUY
I COULD NEVER HATE THIS GUY
GO WEEZY!!!!!!!!!!!
eh.
i don’t really care for Lil Wayne.
but i am glad he’s going to school; that’s big for someone of his celebrity.
i never saw him here at school tho.
It’s ignorant at best to come on a national, predominately white-watched television show, saying, “Yes, I love to smoke marijuana”, and then turn around in the same breath saying, “I know I have the youth looking up to me, so I have to lead by example”. Really? How is this form of coonerish behavior an example of leading by example? It’s mere ignorance, and I feel we need more POSITIVE young adults reaching out to our youth (Lil’ Wayne is asinine in my opinion)!
#21..WOW, at you thinking that particular statement was anywhere near being hilarious! I just don’t understand “some” of our people. We think statements of this nature is a form of “keeping it real”….We still have a long way to go! (shakes head and walks away)
A MILLI…A MILLI….A MILLI…Lil Wayne is doin his thang!
All u can do is respect his hustle……He’s kinda intelligent too
which kinda suprise the hell outta me
Well I can say this interview was better than the one with Katie Couric! He seemed less sedated and why would they let Elizabeth on the couch with Wayne??? You know she doesn’t like minorites!
i am not a big fan of lil wayne however he i feel like he did conduct himself in a very good manner on The View and he is actually quite articulate
as for Elizabeth i do feel she has to right to ask any question she wants but she didnt have to say “do you depend on them”…and i feel lil wayne answered very nicely

YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO RAISE YOUR OWN KIDS!
DON’T BLAME ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG IN YOUR CHILD’S LIFE ON CELEBS!
BECAUSE THAT CELEB DID NOT TELL UR KID TO SMOKE WEED OR W/E
SO….ALL CRAP U TYPING ABOUT IS PURE BS…
DON’T BLAME SOMEONE ELSE FOR YOUR MISTAKES.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
THESE CELEBS DO NOT RAISE UR CHILDREN!

YOU DO!
and damn why I’m just now noticing I was all in caps
CRAP!
And also, even though I can’t STAND Lil’ Stain’s (Wayne) music….
If he want’s to smoke weed.
He can do what HE wants.
HE DOES NOT LIVE LIFE for you or your kids.
Don’t worry about him smoking weed because it ain’t paying your bills or putting food on the table.
And just because he smokes weed he cant be a role model?
You might as well say the same crap to people who smoke cigarettes.
Li’l Wayne looks beautiful! His skin is lovely and fresh.
@25, I get you, he should have said Youth should follow example of their parents not me.
Anyways I love Wayne, I think he is so intelligent. And for the person who said it is pointless to go to school. You must not have received an education because if you did you would know what you get from having an education, the pride you feel is way more than the job youc an get at the end.
About Elizabeth, she always does that what’s new, anyway did you see Sherr’s face when she asked him those questions she looked so mad.
I lie Wayne because unlike other rappers he doesn’t try and change himself or the way he talks so he can fit in.
OMG. Who are we to judge!!!
I am not a LW fan, but what do we really know about him?
Miss-Understood??? 4 Real…
Cuz he walks around with a bunch of tattoo’s?
Cuz he has Bling in his mouth?
Cuz he makes Rap music?
Cuz he smokes? How many sit on that same
show and do there own thing?
Strange to say, why does he goes 2 school.
To educate himself, ur never too old to go back
and learn something u dont know YET.
his mouth looks horrible.
Lil Wayne, I love you and support your music very much.
I just wish you didn’t have so many damn tattooes.
Good role model for your young fans for going back to school.
The way he talks…he reminds me of Plies..
Plies talks like he graduated from Harvard..
All that goon stuff is just his alternate persona…
::sigh:: I know i’ve said Weezy was ugly before but he has his moments..I can really see myself having a conversation with him and NOT throwing up…::smile::
His head game is crazy..or so he says….That had nothing to do with anything but..that caught my attention
nasty boy
Hopefully Wayne remains on this path. His tattoos are a “tad” bit overboard. He does interview well. I also saw his interview with Katie Couric prior to the Grammy’s…and it was a similar theme It’s funny to watch Wayne act eccentric and eloquent though….and make faces and act surprised when he’s asked questions. Hopefully he stays in school and completes his degree. Also hopefully he stays out of jail…if your gonna smoke and sip syrup do it in the privacy of your own home or studio. Demand respect…but earn the respect your demanding. I think maybe now he is misunderstood…but in the past people took him for face value literally. But hopefully as he gets older we will continue to mature.
YES I WATCHED THE VIEW THAT DAY & ALTHOUGH I SOMEWHAT AGREE WITH WHAT JAYLA07 IS SAYING, MR KANE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT WHEN HE SAYS IT IS NOT WAYNE’S (OR ANY OTHER CELEBRITY’S) RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP YOUR KIDS OFF OF DRUGS.
ANYONE WITH A BRAIN IN THEIR HEAD KNOWS THAT PEOPLE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS ARE SOME OF THE WORST EXAMPLES IN THE WORLD FOR KIDS TO EMULATE….
BE A PARENT & STOP TRYING TO BLAME YOUR LACK OF INFLUENCE OVER YOUR OWN KIDS ON PEOPLE THAT DON’T EVEN KNOW YOU.
thanx 4 the video. i hope 1day he’ll come to istanbul to perform live.
he has stamped himself with all those random tatoos, i hope he doesn’t live to regret it
i can only go by the clip but i don’t think elizabeth was being annoying, they had to ask all kinds of questions include the good bad and ugly and i guess she was just persistent in getting an answer because it is all about the ratings ultimately
he is able to express himself in an articulate well thought out manner which is a contrast to the clownish, bordering ratish look he was sporting.
Sorry, I can’t watch this video. Elizabeth is too fuc***** annoying. I don’t want my day ruined. I dislike her that much. Does lil Wayne use cocaine? That’s what I heard. His face looks old and tired. To much partying and drinking and whatever else.
EH is still upset that McCain didnt win-LOL-So she is gonna attack every AA that comes on the show-LMAO- FIX UR FACE!!!!!!!!!!
FCK WAT YALL SAY WANYE DH4 BEST
i don’t think Elizabeth said anything wrong. I would’ve asked the same question. I kinda think smoking is really juvenile behaviour, but yeh, whatever. they can ask whatever question they wanna ask- there goes Angel being bitchy again…
I don’t get down with The View like that so I have nothing to say about any of the women on it. As for the interview it was funny, open, and interesting. He’s had to grown up in the lime light, but as you notice he shelters his daughter from that life but he also provides for her (quite nicely, i must say). He’s doing what he does for his kids, he’s showing them that you can have money but your education is what’s going to get you far. Edcuation is priceless and endless whereas money can come and go. No one can take your edcuation from you, but Uncle Sam can tax you can take all your money!! BTW for those getting mad because he said he still smokes and the question about him being a role model for the kids. He’s only obligated to be a role model for his OWN kids not everyone elses.
#15 OH PLEASE!!! Elizabeth need not to be concerned because i’m sure thath the ages of 1 and 4 years old HER CHILDREN AREN’T LISTENING TO LITTLE WAYNE!!!!! Take that BS somewhere else plz
I LOVE WEEZY
Hmm…mmm..mmm..
“Tatted up like the subway in Harlem.”
Lil Wayne can have it, too.
i am so embarrassed! Ewwwwwww he did not use to look like that! Look a mess!
Loose the teeth, and laser the face tats & he might be alright. LOL
Lil Wayne’s face, music, and being makes me want to vomit
I think I just did a lil bit
Gross
his music is awesome but poor baby looks like a jackass
elizabeth asked her question in a condenscending and judging tone. she was even a little skeptical ab asking because of her irrepressible feelings of judgement toward lil wayne… thanks to the stereotypes associated with hip hop and rock stars. she wasnt at all concerned about him, she was just felt the need to bring up this issue inroder to tear people away from the compliments he was being adorned with…totally due to him anyway. im sure elizabeth has done some weed or something which she is not proud of, but thats her personal dramas..why shine a dim light or a bright young star just to prove that you are better than him/her? kudos to lil wayne for not backing down or lying or tryna hide it. the irony of all this is, elizabeth would die of any of her skeletons came out coz she works overtime to keep a squeeky clean rep…all i can say is..karma.
I don’t like that Hassleback,whatever her name is. She should join Fox News. They’re always looking for someone to oppose with them.
I like how lil wayne cut hasselbacks ass up!!! HAHAHA!!!!!!!!
