VH1 reps have revealed that Lil Wayne will be the subject of an upcoming episode of VH1’s Behind the Music series.
A rep for the music network told XXL that the famed show will be making its return to the small screen and so far Weezy is the only rap artist that has been confirmed to star on the hour long program.
VH1 will have a lot of content to discuss about the controversial rapper. The New Orleans superstar, who has well over a decade in the industry, has experienced a publicized bout with syrup addiction,
faced several criminal charges and endured watching his hometown get destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Weezy reached his highest level of success last year. His his sixth solo album Tha Carter III was the overall biggest selling album of 2008 and he took home four Grammy Awards, where he lead the nominations with eight nods.
As of press time, it is uncertain when the episode of Behind The Music will air. – Elan Manicini

Yo! One thing is for sure. Weezy does bring intrigue. “…and I don’t have to go to Hollywood/ cause Hollywood comes through my neighborhood with cameras on./ I realy think they stealin’ from us like a Sanford song./ I really wish, one day, we’d take it back like Hammers home./ The hurricane came in, took my Lil Weezy fam home./ And all I got in retun was a durn country song./…” Yo that “Hollywood Divorce” verse was the coldest.

well to me a hater is someone who hates on something thats not true. like if u said “i hate lil wayne because he is ruining hip hop” that wouldnt be hatin, thats stating facts. if u said “i hate lil wayne because he sounds like retard with down syndrome” well that is stating the facts too. i dont know where im goin with this.
