1. Not a fan of his music (or even the entire genre) but

I hope that this isn't too serious in the long run.

[left coaster]

4. Eh. I asked my son to school me on Lil Wayne's lyrics... here's an example:

"whores on my sack cuz my shirt tag irritate me, groupie cunts on my cock cuz I put a dollar in the tip jar n take the rest out."


I don't think it would be a great loss to art, music, or humanity, if this misogynist creature doesn't return to making millions spreading hate and ugliness.

[Hayabusa]

6. Like I said, not a fan of the genre.

But I don't want any entertainer to actually die just because they say stuff I disagree with.

[Myrina]

19. You call crap like that "entertainment"?

Really?

[Hayabusa]

22. To be blunt, yes.

[iamthebandfanman]

7. regardless

hes still a human being..
id hope nobody would wish death on him because they don't like the content of his music :p

[left coaster]

14. I think he's a piece of garbage..

..and maybe it's karma that he suffer a bit here... no one said anything about death. Recording an anti-Bush song hardly makes up for his blatant misogyny. I shouldn't even have to point that out at a place called Democratic Underground.

[iamthebandfanman]

18. wishing someone harm

or saying they deserve it is just as sick if you ask me.


two wrongs don't equal a right..

[Fearless]

20. +1

After all, an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

[alp227]

9. Wayne did record an anti-Bush song after Katrina...

[Le Taz Hot]

21. And people wonder why I hate rap.

Ugh!

Still, I wish the young man a safe recovery. Perhaps the extra time will enable him to engage in a little self reflection. We can hope, anyway.

2. alcohol and drug withdrawals?

i am not aware of his music, but that's often the case at that age for onset of seizures

8. My husband had seizures after his mother died. He went to every doctor finally they sent

him to Vanderbilt because all the tests he had came back negative. The doctor kept trying to say it was all in his head yet we could see him having seizures. Vanderbilt had him there in the hospital for a few days and did more tests and finally the doctor said nothing showed in the test and he said he is sure it was from stress after his mother died. He took him off of all meds. Since then he had a seizure once and that was caused by low blood sugar. Come to find out the endocrinologist gave him a test on his thyroid and they put him on a pill and it has control his levels fine. Knock on wood. I tell you when someone is having a seizure there is nothing you can do. I think it does a job on his memories. He has slowed down a lot. I remember going to the neogoist and sitting in the office waiting for him to see the doctor and all of a sudden he would start tremming and they would take him in the room. Sometimes there would be other falling on the floor having a seizure. It is so draining and emotional for everyone. My feel sad for him. I hope they find out what is causing it.

3. Yahoo reporting he went on a cough medicine binge.

[LeftInTX]

10. Eww

I wonder if he got too much sudaphed or something. It can really mess you up.

[rollin74]

17. most likely promethazine w/codeine syrup aka "sizzurp" lil wayne's well known

for using it

[iamthebandfanman]

5. his friend says

hes fine and they are watching basketball together..

*shrugs*

not a fan really, tho I was in school when cash money got popular (my last year of high school) n kinda liked some of the music they made back then...


regardless, don't want him to die..

id hope nobody would make drug jokes (even if it is the reason hes in the hospital)...

hes still a human being even if he doesn't act like it sometimes

[alp227]

[Trascoli]

16. Just last month...

Epic Records has apologized to the family of Emmett Till after Lil Wayne made a crude reference in a leaked track to the 1955 beating death of the 14-year-old boy, The Associated Press reports.

Wayne contributed to a remix of Future's "Karate Chop" that leaked last weekend and included the lyric, "Beat that pussy up like Emmett Till" – referencing the Chicago teen who was infamously tortured and lynched for allegedly whistling at a white woman while visiting Mississippi in 1955. After Till's family objected to the line, the Rev. Jesse Jackson contacted Weezy's management company, the Blueprint Group, on their behalf.

It's been a month now and he still has yet to apologize himself to Emmett Till's family. Not only was that lyric disrespectful to women but to anybody who suffered through Jim Crow. I don't care if he made a million songs criticizing Bush over Katrina, Lil' Wayne is still disgusting.

24. I thought seizures WERE his act.

Sorry, couldn't help myself. I hope he recovers.
