Lil Wayne ‘The Carter’ Documentary Coming Soon + Compares Weezy To 2Pac
Super producer turned movie director QD3 is gearing to unleash a barrage of DVD projects in the next few months. Taking a break from the highly successful Beef DVD series, QD3 told Hip-Hop Wired exclusively:
“We got a Lil’ Wayne film that we just finished that we took to Sundance that’ll be coming out real soon and then we have two other films. One that’s about urban skateboarding called Concrete Jungle with guys like T.K. (Terry Kennedy) blowing up. We did a documentary on that because we felt like the whole skate movement is a real nice alternative to see another opportunity for inner city kids. Just like basketball and Hip-Hop, it’s another lane for us to take now. We want to help accelerate that movement in a big way and urban skateboarding is huge in California for sure.”
QD3 also made headlines several months back after legal battles over his authorized feature documentary The Carter, which focuses on the life of Lil Wayne. After the film was completed, Wayne filed a lawsuit over “scandalous portrayal” and stated that he was supposed to receive final approval over the film before its showing and that some footage could be detrimental to his reputation and career…in particular him sipping syrup throughout the film. The case eventually was rejected. Not focusing on the negative, QD3 maintained, “I can’t really speak on that but I think a lot of that was just miscommunication.” He further added to Hip-Hop Wired:
“The main thing that the documentary shows… I think a lot of people would imagine that Wayne is hanging out in clubs with a bunch of women and drinking champagne and that sort of thing. But I would say the main thing you learn when you watch the film is that Wayne is a workaholic. Straight up. After seeing this I think a lot of people will respect his process a lot more. We were with him like 7 or 8 months before he went platinum and then maybe two months after. That’s the period we were shooting him for and I remember one day when he got a text from Sylvia Rhone that he went platinum, he was like, “O.K.” He didn’t even flinch. He was “O.K., cool” and “get off my bus, I gotta record.”
His whole thing is he’s like tireless worker and a lot of people will be very surprised how he’s 100% dedicated to his craft and he’s also daring like when he’s on stage and in the studio, like there’s no boundaries for him creatively. I think when people see it they’re gonna have a whole different type of respect for him seeing him so young and successful yet staying truly focused on being good and becoming better. That’s the main thing and it’s not a whole lot of ego or fanfare about who he is as a star in the film at all. Wayne stays on his bus and he’s got a recording studio up there and that’s his life. So even if he pulls up at a hotel, sometimes he’ll be on the bus just to record.
I really gained a lot of respect for him in that regard in terms of how he approaches his records and then how hard he works. I would have to say…I worked with Tupac a lot and I feel like he may end up with a bigger catalogue than Tupac if he hasn’t already. That kid works, he’s a hard worker, super focused and doesn’t get caught up in the industry like that. He just stays in the studio all the time.”
2pac was the king. wayne is the king now (but still not as great as 2pac). end of story
i really give it to wayne for how hard he works… its crazy
respect for wayne
and also for tupac rip
I can’t wait for this to come out…
can’t wait to see it
daaaamn, this will be good, i love em both but 2pac was the king, he was on top and was going through a lot. he changed the world. waynes a beast but hes still growing
Danny..
Are You Going To Post It When It Comes Out?
thnx..
Comparing Wayne to Tupac is like comparing Lil Bow Wow to Jay-Z or Lil Mama to Beyonce.
Secondly, Wayne may be a work horse, but he’ smart enough not to be a male whore on camera. He’s got 4 kids by 4 different women, and possibly one on the way. Thoughts of him in the club, with a shitload of women and a glass of champagne in his hand, wouldn’t be too far fetched for most people. No matter how hard a man works, he will always find time for pussy.
I dont give a damn what anyone says.
Best rapper or not, you HAVE to respect this man’s hustle.
No other rapper alive works as hard as Weezy. Period. End of story.
And how the hell can anyone compare him to Tupac? Tupac was strictly a rapper. If you haven’t notice, Wayne is currently making music that transcends the boundaries set by Genres. This dude can rap, but he can do more than that as well.
Shit, Im so sick of hearing that whole Tupac comparison. If you want to compare Pac to someone, try Biggie.
he doing what he loves respect the man…i waiting for this to drop
Caraio
No Disrespect But Wayne Could Never Be 2pac They Both Good But I Cant Say Wayne Betta Than Pac
I think a documentary on Lil’ Wayne will show that there is more to him than just bling bling and money. Not that those are bad things, but Lil’ Wayne is a very interesting person. This should show that.
I hope it comes out soon =]
So when does this doc come out to the public?
interesting read
wow….cnt wait 2 watch wayne at work…..he iz tha new pac,u kno?much respect 2 weezy f….

Wayne is the king of the world
and it’s honestly true
@YEP DID U JUST REALLY SAY WAYNE IS BOW WOW STATUS NOW THAT WAS DISRESPECTFUL WHEN ANYBODY COMPARES WAYNE N 2PAC THEY JUST SAY THERE WORK ETHIC IS SIMILAR
N 4 U 2 CONSIDER URSELF A WAYNE FAN U VERY CRITICAL OF HIM
Tupac was the best back in that time and Wayne is the best now.point blank.period.
no way u compares wayne to legend of rap 2pac the king but u can say that wayne is kid of tupac so u cant compare anyone to 2pac be couse 2 pac was real real g
them niggas dont need to compare weezy to 2pac, cuz weezy is already betta than pac WITH NO DOUBT
u can say waynes better because tupac died early and wayne still living therefore he was able to accomplish more than but dont get me wrong tupac but tupac was a great rapper though
MY GOD IM SOO F*CKIN TIRED OF EVERYBODY SAYIN OOOOOOOOO LIL WAYNE CAN NEVER EVER BE 2PAC.. 2PAC IS GOD! U KNOW WHAT????? F*CK 2PAC!
kk now that i got all the anger out…. im sorry…. i love 2pac, he is a great rapper, a legend, a poet and i wish he was still here… but also you got to have respect for everyone. Lil wayne is a great artist he works harder then any rapper (yes ANY rapper, he works harder then 2PAC) he makes good music. He might not be a better lyricist than 2pac but he dosnt have to be.. everyone is different….
give lil wayne what he deserves… the man’s a genius and im pretty sure if 2pac was still here.. he would agree to that.. word up
Someone PLEASE anser when this Documentary comes out!!!!! I want to know, and i havent been able to find out anywhere on the ENNTIRE Internet!!!!!!!!!
