Rap-Up.com || Lil Wayne ‘Looking Forward’ to Jail, ‘Tha Carter IV’ Due in 2011

Not even a jail cell can hold down Lil Wayne. After releasing his rock album Rebirth, performing with Eminem and Drake at the Grammys, and singing Bob Dylan’s part on the “We Are the World” remake, Wayne is not worried about his impending prison sentence.

“I’m prepared for any situation,” the rapper tells Rolling Stone for the magazine’s latest issue. “I’ve never been afraid of anything but God. I look at it as an experience. I say I’m looking forward to it.”

He will keep abreast of the outside world while he’s gone through music. “I’ll have an iPod, and I’ll make sure [my management] keeps sending me beats.” He plans to keep his name out there through jailhouse Twitter accounts and endorsements.

So how will Weezy spend his last days of freedom before heading to prison on February 9 to serve a year on gun possession? This Sunday, he will be watching the New Orleans Saints take on the Indianapolis Colts at Super Bowl XLIV. But that doesn’t mean he’ll be rooting for his home team.

“Even though he’s from the City, he’s a true sports fan,” says Young Money president Mack Maine. “He’s like a scientist about that. He has ESPN tattooed on his leg. I love sports, but I’m for my home team. Wayne, he’s different.”

According to the magazine, Tha Carter IV, Wayne’s highly-anticipated follow-up to 2008′s best-selling album, is scheduled to arrive shortly after he gets out in 2011.

Jae Millz (YME’s NYC connect) needs to start up a movement to recall NYC’s mayor and New York State’s governor…they’re why Weezy, Prodigy, and Plaxico are down (and why Ja Rule’s headed there)-as long as those two are in power, the Second Amendment won’t apply…

@Burmy, You fool, The 2nd amendment is fully intact. You just can’t walk around w/unregistered weapons. If we allow that, most murders would go unsolved. Come on you know that. Right? God america is stupid… Plus, (& I’m a huge Wayne guy) but he’s lucky they dropped the multiple drug charges. He would be in jail a looooooooong time. He needs to be smarter w/how he goes about his business and we wouldn’t need to have this convo. Stop making excuses for celebs. The above named celebs all made mistakes & are being punished justly.

I doubt he’ll be gone for a year but the game will definitely be missing him.

Burmey, the second amendment says nothing about keeping unregistered firearms hidden on your person. It was about states being able to maintain a militia, which at the time, the British Crown would not allow the colonies to do. Read a history book, you fool.
Get a grip.
Oh, and thnaks, DeSean.
