Rick Ross: “It hurt us,” Rick Ross said. The Bawse had just gotten off a plane to Los Angeles on Thursday morning when he heard about Wayne’s plea. “We strategize and work towards this for so long, and when something like that, a major inconvenience such as that, nine people out of 10, that stint could hurt them. But I think Wayne has a unique situation with his Cash Money family and now his Young Money roster, I know they got a lot of things poppin’. Wayne’s got enough music. He’s one of the few artists I feel could eat those 10 months up, or that year, and then come home to rap royalty. If anybody is gonna be able to do it, it’s gonna be Wayne.” It most definitely could have been a lot worse,” Ross added. “But Lil Wayne and his camp, his music is gonna remain visible and relevant. He’s gonna handle his business and come home like a boss. Believe that. This is finnin’ to take him to a whole ‘nother creative point,” Ross continued. “To have time to sit down … I can imagine how many records and choruses he’s gonna write. Knowing Wayne, he’s gonna release a mixtape from behind bars. He’ll be right back with a new energy and he’ll have the streets excited. People are going to want to hear what he has to say and speak his experience and speak to the youth.”
DJ Drama: “I was shocked,” Drama said of the news about his collaborator. “It was ironic because when I got the e-mail, I was taking a break from shooting a CNN special about black men in America since President Obama’s election. Then here we are halfway through shooting that, and I get a e-mail about Lil Wayne possibly facing jail time. One of the world’s most popular music stars? It’s crazy. Not to take anything from the actual charge or the conflicts of guns, but we all can bear witness to the racist tactics of the hip-hop police, specifically in New York. I remember numerous occasions, doing my promo during my album’s run. They were outside the venues just clearly looking for situations. I can imagine on that night or any given night with the most heralded stars — the 50 Cents, the Lil Waynes — the aggressive nature, they came down on those guys. The system is not even fair to that extent. People can say ‘Don’t do the crime, do the time’ or ‘Don’t carry weapons,’ yadda, yadda, yadda,” he continued. “These cops are coming so strategically at these artists to make these headlines, to make these statements … it’s plain and simple wrong. So much time and effort is put into putting our music stars behind bars, they still ain’t find out who killed Tupac and Biggie.”
Jim Jones: “Thts crazy lil Wayne gets a year for a hand pistol and ti gets the same time for having army issued rifles wit silencers U tell me WTF”
Juelz Santana: “I’m pissed off,” Santana said on Thursday morning. Coincidentally, he was in Wayne’s hometown of New Orleans filming his first movie, ‘Video Girl’, with Meagan Good. “They totally violated my man. I been trying to call my man all morning. I’m offended! I’m offended, for one, that it happened in New York City. That was some bullshit. I don’t know the situation as far as what happened on the bus, but at the end of the day, Weezy shouldn’t be going to jail for nothing right now. Even as rappers, we out here on defense,” he added. “We ain’t out here hurting nobody. We go to shows picking up 50, 60, probably hundreds of thousands of dollars. Cash money! At the end of the day, you on the bus with however many people was there, how do the officers assume that it’s Lil Wayne’s gun?”
DJ Khaled: “Lil Wayne is a great friend of mine,” said DJ Khaled, who had just heard the news. “He’s a brother and he’s helped so many people. He’s helped so many people, the public, his city. Musically, he’s helped other artists. He’s just a great person on the whole. He’s gonna be good no matter what, ’cause Lil Wayne’s so blessed, but the news has got me disturbed. When you do so much good for the world, make music to inspire young kids and give back to the community, to put a man away like that for eight months to a year …” Khaled trailed off before continuing. “Lil Wayne is great person. It’s just wack that people have to go through these trials and tribulations. Wayne is gonna be all right because God is with him,” Khaled insisted. “Us as hip-hop fans, we gotta support him when times are hard, too. I tell everybody you can’t turn your back on somebody. I’m gonna ride with Wayne forever. I’m gonna play his music whether it’s in the club, the radio or in my car. It’s gonna be like he’s got an album coming out every week.”
Slim Thug: “That’s some bulls**t how the police try to make an example out of Black celebs,” the Houston rapper tweeted. “Lil Wayne wasn’t holding the gun; they got on his bus, didn’t even know which one he was; after they found him they gave him the case. It’s Lil’ Wayne if he is on the bus somebody needs to have a gun his lil ass can’t fight a muthaf***a off. Cortez, Lil’ Wayne manager, said on VH1’s Behind the Music that that’s his gun. It’s in his name but they still gave Wayne the case. OJ in jail for tryna get his own s**t back,” Slim Thug continued. “Plaxico got 3 yrs for shooting himself, Vick got 2yrs and lost all his money for fighting dogs. If any of these people wasn’t successful black men they would not be in trouble or facing that big of a sentence. I know y’all might like dogs, but no dog is worth 100 million I been to dog fights saw people get caught and get rt out.”
Toya (Wayne’s ex-wife): “I swear I hate fake n***as,” she tweeted minutes after news of the verdict spread across the internet. “When s**t all good, everybody around, but when u down, nobody wants to b around… pray for Wayne y’all.”

What does the cops not knowing Lil Wayne have to do with anything? If it wasn’t his gun, what was his dna doing on it, and why would you allow someone else from your crew to have it on your bus? Think people! Wayne has so much music out, I don’t see how you guys can ever feel like he’ll be gone. Chill out!
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:32 pm

Look, we can all write shit on these little web pages, but stand the fuck up for real If you believe this shit is wrong. Go tell your mayor, govenor, senator, fuck it , tell who ever the fuck will listen. We are Americans mother fucker, and we as a people are being Fucked by our government.

October 23rd, 2009 at 8:38 pm
@ D- Why would Lil Wayne’s shirt be next to a gun that’s not his? You guys are in denial. There’s consequences to every action, and all you young teeny boppers, who looked at Lil Wayne too long and took his lyrics seriously, are realizing that it’s all fantasy (what you see on t.v) and if you wanna be a gangster, they have a place for gangsters. Be cautious: There are other gangsters in this place, ones WAAAY more serious about it than Lil Wayne.
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:39 pm
