A lot of rain actually.

It didn’t dampen attendance (or enthusiasm) one bit, as 17,000 demonstrative fans came out and were on their feet and dancing the entire night. Though the music reflected black culture, there were scant few African-Americans in the audience; it was mainly screaming, young, white girls.

New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne has been making waves with his melodic rock- infused rap, and though he’s not blazing any new ground, he is putting an unmistakable stamp on it.

From his long dreadlocks to his tattooed tears, Wayne is not your cliché rapper. At SPAC, in red cap, camouflage pants and toothy grin, Wayne walked out to adoring high-pitched screams unlike you’ve ever heard here. A slick set used a high-tech screen and pyro like a big rock band.

“A Milli” was rap with a reggae lilt in the vocal delivery, albeit nasally and quite processed by electronic effects — there’s a fine line between coloring the tone, and helping prop up a vocal. “Go DJ” just roared, making the floor rattle and the hairs on your arm stand up and vibrate.

Even though Lil Wayne could do no wrong for this enamored crowd, the show wasn’t perfect. The giant video screen planted center stage was supposed to go up after the first few numbers, but remained stuck in place, obscuring the band, and limiting Wayne’s movement.

The guitar-riff-driven “Prom Queen” was a slow grind whine about a heartbreaker, and the crowd went crazy. Soon rapper Birdman came out for some intense give and take; young Tyga got in his face as well.

For “Every Girl“, all the openers and guests were on stage for a wicked finale; by then even the video screen complied and rose up to its proper position.

Lauren London finally debuted her VERY pregnant belly this weekend at Diddy’s white party in Beverly Hills. London is about seven months pregnant by Lil Wayne and Nivea who is also rumored to be pregnant by Wayne has been trying to contact Lauren for a woman-to-woman chat but to no avail. Lauren seems to be in a happy place and I wish her the best.

Lil Wayne appeared in an Arizona court on drug possession and weapons charges earlier today.

His attorney says he told the Yuma County Superior Court judge that the U.S. Border Patrol hasn’t turned over records the defense requested months ago. The judge set another court date for Aug. 11.

Wayne was arrested at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 8 east of Yuma in January 2008 after authorities said they found cocaine, Ecstasy and a handgun on his tour bus.

He faces one count each of possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of dangerous drugs and weapons misconduct.

Weezy previously pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Check out these new pictures of Lil Wayne with the “Mrs. Officer” lady at the NBA playoff game last night. Her name is Tammy Torres and according to Necole Bitchie “they arrived hand in hand and seemed to be doting on each other like a loving couple. Tammy Torres sat clutching her purse to her stomach for the entire game and munching on everything in sight.”
