Lil Wayne needs rehab. Badly! I guess calling himself “The Best Rapper Alive” wasn’t enough. During his interview with Foundation Magazine, which can be heard here, he went off on a megalomaniacal, and possibly drug induced rant, dissing all mixtape DJ‘s and even goes as far as to say he originated the mixtape game.
It gets even better. In an attempt to “give ‘em a little history”, as he says, he compares himself to Alfred Nobel, whose name he got wrong, and called him the inventor of gun powder, also wrong; he invented dynamite. His whole point was that, similar to Nobel, who created the Peace Prize to atone for his destructive invention as a way of moving on with his life, he now is moving on beyond the mixtape genre that he “created”.
Just like gun powder was around centuries before Nobel, mixtapes have been around before Lil Wayne was born. Maybe if he didn’t drop out of school at 14 years old, he wouldn’t look so ignorant in his attempt to sound intelligent. Laying off the drugs might help, too.
Let this be an example, boys and girls. Stay in school and say no to drugs.
That’s just my opinion, but I think I’m right.

na ur not right, i bet alot of ppl dont learn tht nobel invented dynamite. I mean damn i didnt even know tht s*** so hes obviously not stupid, so wut if he didnt know tht it was dynamite and not gunpowder. Also the comparrison is very smart and intellegent, wayne is a great rapper nd even though hes cocky he should still be respected
You are missing the whole point. A comparison is only smart and intelligent when it's ACCURATE. He probably overheard somebody else make a reference to Alfred Nobel and ran with it instead of looking up the facts. If a person doesn't know the facts about something they should keep their mouth shut about it and talk about something they do know. How can you give props to someone who spits out bad info? Let me put it this way, you want to defend someone WHO'S TELLING YOU SOMETHING WRONG, but you want to diss me for SCHOOLING YOU ON SOMETHING YOU ADMIT YOU NEVER KNEW. Get a clue, partner.
hater
On the contrary. We actually love Hip Hop culture too much to hate on a corporate clone. Just exposing the truth to the younger generation of Hip Hop heads who do not know their history. How about reading this article we recently posted without naming names: http://oldschoolscholar.com/25-characteristics-...
Enjoy!

First of all, anything can be an addiction whether it is physical or psychological dependent. Syrup maybe medicine but so are pain pills which is the biggest drug of choice now-a-days. Kids are getting high off of allergy pills, too. Weed is bad habit forming which can lead to psychological addiction. Whatever you spend way too much time with that becomes your god is an addiction. Even working 40 hours overtime for time and a half pay; 7 days a week can be an addicition. So whatchasayin?
Best rapper alive to you which is fine by us. You only know as far as your experience, research, and knowledge, but he is not the best end all be all rapper alive. However it is a great sales pitch by Wayne to stir up press. It was the same tactic used by LL Cool J when he released I'm Bad in 1988, and he had groupies like yourself back then eating it up. That is what made both of them a superstar in their days. But LL Cool J is better than Wayne to this day and in works.
It is not a matter whether he dropped out of school. It is a matter of not opening your mouth about something before you check your facts. Old School Scholar will not post about the Hip Hop culture if we were not experienced about it. We live it. You will never hear us talk about modifying a racing import, implementing hybrid fuels, and alloy frames because we know nothing about the subject. We do not live it. Many great millionaires dropped out of school but still got educated. In other words get educated so you will not have to put your foot in your mouth.
Finally, we do not hate Lil Wayne. We dislike what he represents. A fabrication of mainstream marketing and glam images. This is not keepin' it street. This is not Hip Hop. If Lil Wayne is real why not go head to head, lyric for lyric against another emcee. He just is not an emcee. Lyric and flow-wise, he could not hold Talib Kweli's jock, Black Thought, or Charlie 2Na on the mic. Lyricism is an artform and a craft. Point blank.
Peace, and thank you for your passion.
