Lil Wayne Has Hometown Farewell Show Before Heading To Jail
Muti-platinum recording artist, Lil Wayne, returned to his hometown of New Orleans to perform at what he called, his “farewell” tour.
“I’m nothing without you,” he told the screaming crowd of thousands of fans at the New Orleans Arena after opening the concert with “A Milli,” which last year earned him a Grammy for best rap solo.
His real name, Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in October to a weapons possession charge and will be sentenced Feb. 9. His plea deal calls for a year in jail. Dwayne will only be 28 years old after he serves his time, assuming he isn’t released early.
The charge stemmed from a 2007 traffic stop of his tour bus in New York when authorities said they smelled marijuana, and as they approached, Lil Wayne tossed aside a bag with a loaded .40-caliber handgun.
Lil Wayne’s next album, “Rebirth,” is due for release Feb. 1. After New Orleans, he is scheduled to play a couple of dates in Texas and another show in southern Louisiana.
Phil Spector Is Going Insane in Prison
Music producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector says life behind bars is driving him “insane”.
He wrote a letter to a fan which was posted on Gawker.com, in the letter it reads, “This 24/7 lockdown life is slowly driving me insane and killing (me),”
Spector complained that he was unable to say goodbye to anyone, or organize his business affairs before going to prison.
“How cruel but apparently not unusual,” Spector wrote. “And they call this a ‘civilized’ society. Bugs live more civilized beneath their rocks!”.
Spector, who revolutionized pop music in the 1960s with his “Wall of Sound” production technique, was convicted in April of the 2003 murder of actress Lana Clarkson and later sentenced to a minimum of 19 years in prison.
This guy is whacko!!!!
