The "Lollipop" hitmaker who recently did some voice-over work for famed cartoon, The Boondocks, has been casted opposite Forest Whitaker in an upcoming film tentatively titled, The Patriots.
The movie, which is directed by Tim Story (Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer), is about a basketball team that was assembled of players, who attended five different high schools before Hurricane Katrina devastated the city of New Orleans.
Lil Wayne is set to play a character named "Lamont," who is skeptical of the new teams. The flick is loosely based on a true story and will be hitting theaters around Thanksgiving.
In related news, Weezy recently sat down with MTV news and discussed some of the details from the long overdue Carter III.
In other news…
Weezy cleared up the confusion over the various versions of the albums street single, "A Millie." According to the Young Money CEO, the various versions will take the place of skits on Tha Carter III.
"I'm not gonna have skits on the album. The different versions of 'A Millie' will be where the skits would be," he tells MTV.
"It's gonna be like I'm calling home and the person who's on that track is gonna be, like, inside Tha Carter at that time. Only people I put on there is all new artists — artists I think is gonna be in this music shit for a long time. Tyga, Corey Guns, Hurricane Chris, Lil Mama — it's gonna be ill. On the video, I'm introducing my artist, Lil Chucky. He's 13 years old. He's hot in the South. He's got his own part for 'A Millie' too."
Weezy also speaks on the album cover--which many fans speculated to be fake.
"That's me!" he said. "All day. No computers. Only thing [digitally enhanced] was the tattoos. My momma gave me the picture for me to put on the album cover. I don't know where my momma found that picture. My momma, she gave me that and one more. If you would have saw the other picture, you'd be like, 'She got too many pictures.' "
The Carter III is scheduled to hit shelves on June 10th.

He doing his thing and I ain;t hating but I am Lil Wayned out for the 08!!
Was done with him by fall of 07
Just waiting for June 10th to hit.
I wanna knowif he's matured enough to drop a classic album with no "assistance"...
~Be Eazy!
what do you mean no assistance all them features is gonna help but yea its not gonna be classic for sure not hatin just speaking truthfully
4 features? is that a lot??
wheres them WEEZY DICK RYDEERS??? u seem em on everyother page on Defsounds, but if Weezy on it they nowhere to be seen...
i bet Lil Wayne is Waynes World & Weezy Da GOAT
It's time for Lil Wayne to walk the walk with C3. He said he's the best......prove it by dropping a classic. I want lil homie to do good, I don't want any man to be unsuccessful, but if Carter 3 is whack Lil Wayne can never ever ever ever ever in his life talk about being the best rapper alive.
a prediction right now, father like son, waynes latest effort sold 761,958 to date, C3 at most will sale 800,000... people just dont buy albums anymore point blank, unless your name is one of the 3 following, kanye west, 50 cent, and jay-z (American Gangster 1,060,769) and he is barely holdin on... Wayne will not go platinum its just not gonna happen, and if he does thats gonna leave about 500,000 disapointed fans who buy his cd just to support hip hop, and the the other 500,00 stans will love that shit and say its the greatest album ever, we just got to get use to it yall!
the way this guy pushes back his album...comes back talks some bullshit and then push it back again...it is gettin predictable...i wont be suprised if his shit gets pushed back again
well as for me nd my CD player....we aint gonna be bumping no lollipop, maybe unless i get the shit 4 free
i hope he blows up in this movie ting..so that he can leave the rap game alone for good and for the people who are worth being in the game
You niggas already know what Im bout to say.
Nigga FUCK LIL WAYNE. Bitin' ass nigga. Jockin the classic Illmatic/Ready 2 die album covers. Fuckin fake ass bitch. You cant buy or duplicate a classic. If you aint got it in you, you aint got it in you. Period. Fuckin fruit cake ass nigga. Fuck the Carter 3. Didnt he want that album out in mid 07? (yawn)... NEXT!
Coke sniffin, Lean sippin, Busfull of narcotic trafficin' thru arizona ass, Leg shootin, Swagger jackin, Ghost writer buyin, Beef avoiding, Non rapper eatin, shit talkin, phony ass, wanna be blood, fake gang bangin, tear tattoo havin that dont mean shit faggot, Man kissing, 50 cent dick suckin, whoopie goldberg lookin ass FUCKBOY.
3 reasons Im not buyin the carter 3?
LAX
Nigger
King Mathers
^^^^^dam! i used to like lil wayne b4 i red that
THIS NIGGA NEEDS TO STOP PUSHIN BACK THE ALBUM BECOZ THE ALBUM AINT GONNA SELL 400MILLION SO CHILL DROP IT IN JUNE AND DAS IT NO MORE PUSH BACKS
yea he bit the shit out of the ready to die and illmatic angle on the cover.. and i'm not hating to hate.. but we know it will not be the same caliber as either one of those albums.. it will sell though because has we all know.. weezy stans are the most hardcore stans out there.. some of these weezy stans make the original stan look like a normal fan.. AND HE KILLED HIS PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND OVER AN ARTIST lol
He did bite the album cover, but so did Big, he bit from Nas and no one said ish but Rae and Ghost(Cuban Linx skit, like track #9 I think). As for obie, pimpin' Wayne has a buzz right now that hasn't been present SINCE 50 1st dropped. He will easily eclipse platinum, I'll give it 2 weeks before he does, and I am NOT a Stan. Just someone who sees the big picture. The Skit thing he's talkin' sounds creative, I hope the rest of the album is. If it is filled with T-Pain voice overs,forget about the classic talk. This one really doesen't have to be classic, in the south, The Carter is bonafide classic status and The Carter arguably is also, not to mention him being quite possibly the most succesful mixtape artist ever. He has been doin' his thing. The last 6 months, his verses have been kinda lame though. I hope he's been saving them for the album. He's suffering dfrom what I call the Prodigy syndrome, where his style has been dumbing down to the point where it sounds like he's on syrup constantly(no comment). I hope the best for him and our own listening pleasure.
I mean i fuck wit wayne and i bet C3 does very well.
dis nigga had alot of fans...sheesh
C3 is gonna suck. Promise you that.
get off wayne dick you homo ass no bread gettin ass cream pie all up in yo booty ass fake online gangsta STFU already
Wayne is nice at times, sometimes its like WTF???? But hopefully he can gain just a lil respect with this album. Cuz all the dude kissin, dumb speech, re-niggin interviews placed him back a huge distance from respectable artist.
But we'll see
SHID DATS WAT IM SAYIN YA BOI DOIN HIS THING RITE NA'...HE ON HIS GROWN MAN...LET HIM DO HIM WHILE ITS HIS TIME...
Hes cool and all, but we need some new shit, plus C3 is taking to long damn. Im broke i dont who to get C3 or LAX.
..ya'll wanna knock Wayne 4 doing a song 4 females..like no other rapper has done it...let me remind u Big(Im Lovin U 2nite(radio), Jay(all songs w/B and others, Nelly(duh),Nas(Owe me Something),Fabolous(2 many)..and lets not forget 2pac(so many but the most commercial"R U still down" w/Jon B)...real talk, why hate..just let the lil homie get money...he dont come 2 where u niccas wrk and hate on how ya'll cook burgers..i can gv him his props and still say he isnt the B.R.A..tht goes to Jay..whatup Hov
It's not really that... I just can't understand how we went from being the "Fireman" to looking like a damned "Lollipop"...
Lollipop is just a gay ass song period though. At least when Biggie and all those other rappers made some slow songs they weren't tryna sing...except for nelly though, since he did sing on couple joints...
The album is gonna go platinum plus its gon be funny to see wayne acting in a movie i dont see it.
Will he be able to lay off the drugs long enough to remember the lines?
Will it get pushed back? Will all the songs have the T-Pain style?
Fuck you u fat ugly bitch. U got them lips puckered up to suck Waynes dick? U gorilla lookin bitch
^LMAO
Scudded that bitch.
Will he remember to not kiss his daddy on evey track he does and mentionin baby's after gettin pumped in the ass???
Stay turn funky people
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you asking all these questions? Who are you talking too?
^^^i think the questions were rhetorical. anyway idk, carter and carter 2 were hot. i think i know the type of "assistance" Wiz101 was talkin about and we'll just have to wait and see if he's matured enough as an artist to remain creative enough to keep C3 interesting. I ain't even gon lie that lollipop bullshit is trash, but bitches love it. and i believe bitches buy albums too so...he's marketing his shit. guess he knows what he's doin..
^^^Thank u for understanding those questions were not meant to be answered.
^^^^^^ U may be right b/c the smartest thing Wayne did was take the advice of Nelly last summer and make the Wayne heads wait a while longer for the Carter 3 to build the hunger... Now all of the fanatics are hungrier for the album.
This probably will go platinum b/c of the heavy promo and street buzz. NOTE: If it's platinum, it will be his 1st time going platinum [album wise] not thousands of mixtapes moved on the streets plat b/c we know he's doing that!] but, because it's 1 of the most anticipated albums of the year.
***Good look for him to being opposite of the great Forrest W.****
-Aight Then
Lil Wayne went platinum with his first album Tha Block is hot and carter 2 went plantinum i see wayne getting his money doing the movies i'm not hater nor a fan just giving props were it's due and yea were are all the wayne stans a wayne article finally pops up and there not here that's very interesting they will show up soon and i dunno if i'm buying c3 i'll just get it bootlegged

who Jay Z? nabahood69
How u figure homie? Jay-Z started trends. He might have used a lil bit of BIG's style when he first got his foot in the door, but then he did his own thing. And in no way shape or form am I a Jay-Z stan.
U weak as nigga Wayne the truth fuck wat u talkin bout
^^^ U look like one of them slow kids they try and mix in with regular kids at school. That explains why u love Wayne so much.
Sayin Lil Wayne + "real hip-hop" n da same sentence is a oxymoron. Like jumbo shrimp.
This nigga acting in a movie though....that's some shit I gotta see..LOL!!
I tried to tell niggas that lil Corey' s verse didnt get cut from the album, but hate doesn't allow people to listen.

U can't call them classics yet man, it gotta take at least a couple years for those albums to be in that high position...When illmatic came out in 94, it wuz very slept on and people didn't even consider calling it a classic until after stillmatic came out

Cut the bushit... get back in Dedication II mode and murder C3... its his last chance to prove hes the best in the game today....
REAL TALK...I RESPECT DAT
Yo foreal I hate niggas that be trashin other nigga comments just because they dont dick ride Weezy. Weezy stole Gillie style and now he running with it, its the same shit that happened with the Outsidaz when they yused to be down with Eminem. Weezy alright, the album gonna be aiight, the movie is going to be garbage, and real talk Weezy gonna kill himself with that Lean.
Cosign homie. I like muthafuckas with originality. I like Gilly Da Kid, but I don't want to hear anybody sound like Gilly but Gilly. He latched onto Pharell's swag. T Pain got mad spins at clubs and mad features on hooks, so what did Wayne do, bit his style too. And this muthafucka a crackhead. I cut off friends I went to school with since Kindergarten because they started doin powder and poppin E, so why should I support him if I don't support what he's about? These people grew up with me and I don't
