Lil Wayne: Motivational Speaker, Lover of Paradox
Story by Andrew Barker
Now that Lil Wayne has sold well over a million copies of his long, long, delayed album "Tha Carter III" in a single week making him the hottest MC since 50 Cent and the hottest Dadaist since Tristan Tzara, he seems to have decided that it's time to give back.
Guest starring on Sean Combs' "Diddy Blog" yesterday, the rapper sought to share some advice for his young fans. (Host Combs, meanwhile, appears to exhaust every reservoir of strength to refrain from interrupting.) Wayne mostly stays on point, discussing the virtues of hard work, the importance of the "three Ss" and the dangers of "underage obesity." But before long, things drift off into koan territory.
Among Weezy's words of wisdom: "Don't try to be different. Because when you try to be different, you end up being the same. Because everybody's trying to be different." "What you've got to do is to just be you. But if that doesn't work, then that isn't what you should be doing."

Thanks for sourcing my afternoon dose of chuckle.
LMAO at Diddy's "that's what's up" after Weezy's "What you've got to do is to just be you. But if that doesn't work, then that isn't what you should be doing."
My credit card debt that Diddy didn't process one thing weezy said.
