Lil Wayne Talks About His Fellow Inmates, Getting Into A Fight, Hearing His Son Say

Later this month, Lil Wayne will release his “Gone ‘Til November: A Journal of Rikers Island” memoir, and today, the first few pages from Wayne‘s book have surfaced online via Vulture.

In the pages, we can read what the first few days were like in prison for Weezy, what exactly he got up to, what he ate, who the inmates he got along with were, getting a suicidal-protection aide job, becoming friends with C.O.’s, getting into a fight on the yard, finding out the news Drake had slept with his girl, rapping for inmates, being visited by Diddy, Kanye West, Chris Paul, and more.

Tunechi also revealed he cried when he first heard his cell door lock behind him, he heard his son Dwayne Michael Carter III say “da-da” for the very first time over the phone while locked up, he never ever wants to go back to jail, and being told Drizzy wants him on his “Light Up” remix and to record his verse over the phone.

Drake – Light Up (Remix) (Feat Lil Wayne & Jay-Z)

Drake Light Up Remix Feat Lil Wayne & Jay-Z

Here is the official remix to Drake‘s song with Jay-ZLight Up” that we have all been waiting for. Drizzy‘s and Jay‘s verses have not changed from the album version, but this time around Weezy joins in and spits a sick verse over the phone live from Rikers Island. For obvious reasons the quality in Wayne‘s verse is not CDQ, but it is much better than the rip we posted last week.

What do you guys think about Wayne‘s verse and do you think that we can expect more new verses from Tunechi while he is locked up? Let us know in the comments and make sure you buy Drake‘s debut album Thank Me Later, in stores now!

Lil Wayne Light Up Remix Rip

Two days ago, we posted a video of Drake confirming that Weezy did a verse to his “Light Up” track saying: “Lil Wayne recorded one of his greatest verses ever over the phone for my track with Jay-Z – Light Up” . Earlier today in the United Kingdom, Drake went on Ustream live to promote his upcoming album Thank Me Later and he also played Tunechi‘s phone call with the recorded verse on. Don’t forget that this is only a rip of a video from the phone recording, so the quality will not be the best until Drizzy releases it. You can check it out below:
