Check out Lil Wayne lending his support to GetSchooled.com, an initiative co-developed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Viacom that creates a platform for corporate and community stakeholders to address the challenges facing America’s public schools.
On Sept. 8 at 8 p.m., all of Viacom’s television properties (including BET, MTV, VH1) will join together to simultaneously air “Get Schooled: You Have the Right”, a 30-minute special that highlights education challenges and breakthroughs experienced by three leading figures from the world of entertainment, sports and politics; along with the stories of three of their most trusted professional colleagues.
Other celebs showing support to Get Schooled include Solange, Wyclef, Angela Bassett, Bobb’e J. Thompson, Salt-n-Pepa, DMC and Vivica A. Fox.
Ewww his teeth………first!
HOLLA
lol i was almost first, oh well. Yeah his teeth are kinda nasty but what’s new…it’s Weezy F. Baby, what do you expect?
Even when he’s clean, Lil Wayne looks like his fingernails would be dirty
why the HELL are they using Lil Wayne ass?? He does not represent a cause like this well, but thats just my opinion but i’m Glad they have Angela, Wyclef, and Vivica onboard because they all have come along way for themselves and are maintaining to do it in a positive light….P3AC3!!!
Top 10!! lol
besides Suge Knight can you think of anyone worse?
We just need to be thankfullhe lended his face to some influential and postive , so congrats to him ! .. for finnaly doing something right !
In all honesty, why are they using lil wayne? If I was still in grade school without guidance and minimal common and I knew about him and his ways and behavior, I still wouldn’t listen to him.
@#5 yea Dennis Rodman lol…all 3 of them are off the radar.
FUCK THAT! They want us to get schooled and not give most of us money for it.
Lil Wayne went to college ( I don’t know if he graduated or not or if he’s still attending) in TX. I heard he was taking online classes. Anyways, that’s more than some of these other fugly rappers. That’s probably why they used him. Motivate and Educate..
What the hell? Lil wayne…you smokin that glass dick?
He looks like Whoopi Goldberg with a sex change, prison tattoos, and throat cancer.
Lil wayne influences 90% of these teenagers today, so why wouldnt they use him?
This is a real cool concept, however I’m wondering why they couldn’t compile a better list of celebs to do this, like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Oprah..people that are educated and not always high and drunk.
Plus most the people except Angela,Bobbe, DMC and Wyclef not even that inspiring to youth. I’m just saying
.
THAT’S A GOOD LOOK WEEZY BUT HE NEEDS TO DO A VIDEO FOR WRAP IT UP THE WAY HE IS OUT HERE PUMPING BABIES INTO EVERY DAMN BODY!
Im not hating but doesnt Wayne have two baby mamas at the same time and constantly high and/or drunk? I know the brotha went to college for a bit, but cmon now he’s no role model.
…………….@#4 i’m wondering myself WHY THE HELL is Lil Wayne preaching to kids and grown ups, but mostly kids, about school when this dude is talking about f*cking EVERY girl in the world and says that he cant perform without being high who the hell?? BUT then again when you think about it some of the rebellious kids in school, who dont think before they do, find people like Angela, DMC, and Wyclef boring, so i guess it IS helpful that they put him onboard i guess but honestly i wouldnt have because he just doesn’t represent our fine Black Men well but that’s what i think…………………
That’s a good look, he’s doing something positive for the kids.
I HAVE A CRUSH ON J. DAKAR!
J. DAKAR…MARRY ME LOL!
lol @ 17.
Wayne is perfect for this because of the audience that they’re trying to reach. Kids that listen to Wayne are not gonna be checking for Oprah and what she has to say. She controls the middle age white women.
LMAO.. I thought they were using him as an example…
GET SCHOOLED.. or end up looking like this retarded like this stank bref, remedial ass eli porter “i deed it” bama.
LMFAO.
But anyway.. good look Weezy. Teach the kids.. somebody has to.
This is truly in insult. Get schooled on what how to fuck every girl in the world. Dont you mean get screwed. Lil wayne what a joke. Come on now. Black folks or anyone for that matter is not so stupid as to buy this one. Give us a damn break. Concept good. Nigga all wrong. Go back to the drawing board. You may as well have Lauren in Nivea sayin if you want Lil Wayne seed dont wear condoms just spread lay down spread eagle in smile. LMAO.
well for a man to soon to be a father to four kids by four different women
WHO THE **** THINK THIS MAN IS ANY SORT OF ROLL MODEL
the man is a damn disgrace to the race
give MR 4×4 some team whitener

Sorry. Until black people revere black intellectuals, scientists, artists, engineers, CEOs, etc as much as they do black celebrities, why in the heck would black children (and their parents) be moved by pleas about public education when you don’t need an education to be a celebrity? Why would young black kids care about getting their diploma or even a college degree when Lil Wayne, Solange, Beyonce, and a whole host of their other idols didn’t get an education, yet still rake in millions? Kerry Washington, Rutina Wesley, Denzel Washington, and a small, but potent number of black actors, have college degrees–why aren’t they in these ads? Now, I don’t consider a high diploma or a college degree to be indicative of good character (look at those Wall Street frauds), but the strong streak of anti-intellectualism within the black community is not going to be destroyed by celebrity endorsement of education. Black children look to celebrities as a way to get rich and famous to escape their so-so life–they don’t see the hard work that goes into being an actor, rapper, designer, etc and neither are they conditioned to persevere and enjoy the journey of learning and obtaining a degree.
The reason they got lil wayne
is cuz despite having a sh*tloads of money
he still went to college and graduated with a very high gpa 4.0 i believe.
BUT LIKE I ALWAYS SAY…AN EDUCATION STARTS @ HOME. IT’S UP TO THE PARENTS TO REINFORCE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS. I GOT MY COLLEGE DEGREE AND WHEN I HAVE CHILDREN I WILL DO ALL I CAN TO HELP THEM FOLLOW IN MY FOOTSTEPS.
SO MANY PARENTS NOWADAYS ARE TOTALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THEIR KIDS. THEY DON’T SIT DOWN AND TALK FACE TO FACE AND INTERACT TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE INTO. THEIR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER KNOW MORE ABOUT THEIR LIVES THAN THE PARENTS WHO LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE.
Believe it or not lil wayne is actually quite smart lol.
Yes he has done some things that were not so smart but haven’t we all? I could name about 6 or 7 dumb things I did just this week alone.
i have to give kudos to lil wayne.
gon’ head young brotha.
he’s doing something positive!
more smart black ppl and not like “1. Ain’t I” lol hahahaha!
hmmm coming from Lil wayne if i was still in school i don’t think i wouda listened to this, some1 calling girls names on his songs, pumping kids in2 every single woman coming his way and getting high/drunk most of the time? This boi ain’t a rolemodel to anybody.Just like some1 said b4 he shouda done for wrap it up since he can’t wrap his own lil man maybe he wouda atleast learned something while he’s at it. Litlle wayne get those endorsements, shut up and sit down already i don’t need to tell me to get educated
i wonder if this will change anything
he shouldnt be able to do this…
he raps about drugs sex and money but is trying to tell kids to stay in school???
what is this world coming to when everybody looks up to lil wayne?
he may be smart and educated…but thats not the side he portrays to his fans (which some are in there teens and even younger) and thats where i dont call him a role model…thats why i say he shouldnt be able to do this
their*
He is the last person I would want pitching any serious cause such as this.
I think it’s great that he did this but if you are making toxic music at the same time I think that cancels anything he could say out. Music has a much more powerful influence over people than words in my opinion. Words with melody and rythm stick you head much longer than a speech. So it would be nice if he infused some of this positivity in his music, then I would be impressed.
@ 35 exactly. Totally defeats the purpose.
Lil Wayne look like he need a good scrub down! what woman in their RIGHT mind would have a baby from this fool!
Children stay in School, especially you young ladies, so that you won’t have to depend on all the lil Wayne’s in the world!!

————————————————–oo——————-
Lil Wayne has a bachelor’s degree in Psychology….even though he comes off as not being the brightest bulb in the bunch, he’s pretty intelligent.
He looks blowed……shoulda kept the shades on.
I understand some of the celebs being there, but others I do not. Lil Wayne is the same person going on national tv talking about how he is a gangsta (even though that’s a complete lie) and brags about drug use.
Education and BET don’t go together.
Education and Lil Wayne don’t work either.
This just goes back to the notion that Celebes are not role models. I think this is a very important issue that is only trivialized with the mere presence of someone like Lil Wayne. I think he may have some great intentions sure (and I’m almost certain he was paid) but the reality does not match with how uneducated he is and the types of things he “teaches” youth through his example.
It’s hard to reach most inner city children because of clowns like this spewing all types of ignorance. I mean this man was singing about F-ing girls around the world with his own daughter on stage at the BET Awards.
i’m glad he’s doing this
I`m gonna give Wayne big props for taking the time to do this,people always put down rappers but some rappers are real and are more humble than other celebrities that we think are more classier and educated than rappers.Michael Jordan would never do something like this,he is too egotistical and is picky about what he chooses to endorse.Tiger Woods,despite being worth millions he dosen`t lift a finger to help poor blacks or asians,he is so mentally unbalanced when it comes to race, that he actually thinks that he is a white guy.And Oprah is not going to endorse anything unless it has her name behind it or its in her magazine.So I give Wayne respect for doing something unselfish,and for not being as egotistical and self-centered as some other celebrities.
Solange did a video like this also. I bet Lil Wayne was high when he did this look at his eyes. Why would he get all those tattos on his face… yuck! Lauren London must have a strong stomach to have sexual intercourse with him. LMAO
omg that video still of him is horrible.
lil wayne=clown
@44
i beleive they all look at the TRUE INTENTIONS behind the people/company they endorse…
u could give anyone money but if u dont kno what they’re gonna do with it, it becomes a waste
Oh yeah…I’ll have to watch
COMMENT 21:
Que Linda!!!!
BEST
@11 HE INFLUENCES THEM THE WRONG WAY…SO WHY SHOULD THEY USE HIM? TO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN HOW TO F**K EVERY GIRL IN CLASS?? OR WAIT HOW TO GET A DUFFLE BAG OF CASH OR BETTER YET HOW TO ROCK A MILLION TATS AND OVER A MILLION DOLLARS IN JEWELRY?? LOL such bafoonery……this world has no dang on clue how to inspire kids to want to stay in school…oh yea use rappers that influence immature gangter behavior in there songs to get kids to stay in school.
first of all kids aint stupid, they know when there being fkd with. They aint goona believe half the BS that spits out of his mouth …these kids are older mentally then ppl obviously arent aware of…I know plenty of kids that would probably hear that BS LAUGH AND SAY..,,
“DUDE IS BEING PAID TO SAY THAT LIKE MOST CELEBS GET PAID TO ADVERTISE CHEAP SH*T THEY KNOW WOULDNT BE CAUGHT BUYING WEARING OR DRIVING.” lol please.
@44..HUSH PLEASE…AINT SH*T HUMBLE ABOUT DOING ANYTHING FOR MONEY…WISE UP…thats how you get fooled when you dont think.
If he really cared about influencing kids the right way, his music wouldnt consist of talking about how many ho’s he fkd or wish he could, how much money he got, how much jewelry he owns or other IGNORANT THUGGED MENTALLITY IMMATURE BS…that this dude is know for spittin……any wise child aint gonna fall for that LAME AZZ MESSAGE.
Using Lil Lame to speak to the youth about school, is like using the serial pedo pisser r kelly as a public service announcement warning the youth about the danger of pedophiles Epic Fail!!
@31 & 29 my point exactly….
and @26…to do something stupid when you know its wrong is a waste of knowledge..meanin there was no point in gainin knowledge that you dont use? so pretty much my question is why do you need a brain?
LMAO@52
@16..HE COULD BE DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH IS MUSIC FOR THE KIDS…SINCE THAT IS MAINLY WHAT KIDS LISTEN TO? AND ARE INSPIRIED BY…BUT DOES HE….HELL NAW…so please explain why should any kid believe this bs….lmao….smh.
Something is really wrong here. Lil Wayne and Solange?
He can`t be positive in his music,because if he was positive,he would`nt sell.The record labels don`t want a positive rapper,they are the ones that are in control and they would drop Lil Wayne,if he did a positive album.But just because his lyrics might be negative,it does not mean that he isn`t a positive person,outside the booth.
LOL at this. I really can’t believe they chose him to be a “role model” for kids and education. This is the same guy who smokes WEED which is common with most teens because of the support in music from Rappers, he gets drunk and sleeps around with multiple women, which is also a support for many teens! He is a piece of sh*t! He talks so retarded! Having his pants hang down low, nasty teeth, and from what I can tell, bad hygiene… I don’t care for Obama, but he recently had a speech where he mentioned how black kids should not look up to rappers, actors, and athletes as role models. All of those rappers are hypercrites and it amazes me how so many people could say one thing, and do another. Instead of talking about getting educated, how about you talk about the real issues with teens such as teen pregnancies, drug habits, underaged drinking/DUI, sexually transmitted diseases!
Oh and I forgot to talk about Solange as well! She is a horrible role model too. She was very rebellious as a child because she hated being compared to her sister and openingly admitted to smoking weed and getting high off hard drugs, getting drunk, and sleeping around in that Cronic song she had! Not to mention her getting pregnant at 17 and trying to cover it up by getting married. I know people are going to say that was in her past, but she released a statement last year defending that Cronic (whatever name it is) song so obviously she doesn’t see what she did/does is wrong.
