The Carter Documentary Looks Great/:(

I'm really worried about Weezy, you guys. He turned 27 this fall, and you know what that means. Why the hell should he stop drinking whatever is in his cup? It's his cup!

This is basically going to be the black Crumb.

The man needs to buy a closed captioning device and wear it as a necklace.

Man, that video gave me some profound sadness. Why is it framed like a eulogy? He is still alive for now, right? There is all sorts of morbid curiosity surrounding him and it makes me super uncomfortable. I felt the same way about Lindsey Lohan and Brittany Spears when they were on simultaneous Celebrity Death Watch, except this is worse because I actually really like a lot of the things Lil Wayne has produced. I don't like the idea of him actually dying and then the makers of this film being like, "I called it!"

The music they played sure sounded like he's gonna die soon...

In other news, Abe Vigoda is still alive.


(Please, Weezy, don't die. And while we are talking, quality control? Have you heard of it?)

Abe's long life and vitality may be entirely chalked up to not from making and consuming a mixture of root beer and cough syrup.

This actually looks really solid. Most documentaries shot during a musician's peak are toothless puff pieces or cheap scandal exploitation made to cash in while before the subject's fame dissipates. So far, this seems like an objective look a seriously crazy, seriously talented guy teetering on the edge.
I'm officially very excited.

You're being weird about this, Lemonne. Da Cake Eatur changed his name a half dozen times despite being politely asked more than once to please just follow the User Guidelines. So I don't really think there's any issue here. He made his choice and now he is banned, forever. The end.

It's so true. There's a store near where I live called "Da Cake Shop". Every time I see it, I get a little sad because I loved that gun-toting monkey and he betrayed us.

He seems like a pretty immature guy. Very obsessed with money, not thinking about the future/consequences. That said, WHOA THERE LOOK AT THOSE TEETH!

I had a dream about lil wayne once.
I was chilling at the bus stop and he came up to me and asked if I wanted to watch The Lion King with him. So we went back to my house and started watching it on my couch, while drinking orange soda. Then he started crying hysterically and couldn't stop. he starts telling me about how he has really low self esteem and worries that no one really like his music, and cant find someone to love. Then he turns to me and asks
"am I a good person?"
and I said "of course you are."
and we hugged.

'"'The Carter' is the 'Don't Look Back' of Rap" - Variety. Really? You mean the award winning Bob Dylan Bio-pic overseen by Martin Scorsese? Apparently "'Variety' is the 'Shitpile' of the respectable movie review industry' - The World

You're thinking No Direction Home. Don't Look Back is the 1967 D.A. Pennebaker doc about Dylan's last acoustic tour before he went electric.
Professor Dylan Docs would like to ask if you read the two chapters I assigned for this week.

Dang, you're right Prof'. No, I didn't read the two chapters. I was busy listening to the Carter. And no, got my docs mixed up, and also no. never paid much attention to variety either, I just thought it was a ludicrous quote regardless of whose magazine it may have come from. But, let's hear it for t(his) t(eeth)railer...

1. Don't Look Back was shot and directed by DA Pennebaker.
2. You're not really familiar with Variety, are you?

I would find the possibly-impending demise of Lil Wayne much less sad if he didn't have about 30 children running around all over the damn place.
