In other news…
According to reports, during a pretrial hearing last week, the arresting officer, Diane Hornung, claimed she entered Wayne’s tour bus after smelling marijuana and found Weezy, trying to conceal a loaded .40 caliber handgun.
Wayne's lawyer, Stacey Richman, denounced the claims citing Hornung was nowhere near the bus at the time of the arrest as stated in court documents.
Richman hopes to prove that authorities boarded Wayne's tour bus without probable cause thus leading the charges to be tossed out.

big ups to wayne with 12 nominations
can't wait 4r the dedication 3

even BET dickrides Wayne...thats sad
they keep putting old ass cds for nominees lupe the cool old jayz american gangsata old kayne west graduation OLd wtfffff... im so hood remix best hip hop video and best collab fuck bet
OMFG!!!
Wayne for LYRICISTS of the year, HELL NO
if u say rapper of the year, ok he did put in work, but LYRICIST?
fuk outta here
these awards dnt make no sense...."lyricist of the year", "best artist of the year", and "mvp of the year".....why is that just not one award?....but uhhh....good luck to weezy even tho he don't need it he'll prolly sweep errything except best CD and lyricist...(if niggas still have brains)...the fucked up thing is tha hottest stuff comin out either jus dropped or doesn't drop til 4th quarter...so we gotta wait til next year fa a good awards show.....
i hope it isn't true that he's featuring all his young money cats on d3. i thought that was the thing that made lil weezyana less solid that the dedications and droughts. too many features from people who aren't on his level.
dedicaton 3? wow
havent heard anything about this of lately
who is ur source for this ?
first of all, retard plies goat, all those cds came out this year or at least presumably after the last awards show, thus getting a spot in these ceremonies.
2nd, lil wayne in no way deserves best lyricist, even when he was a good ass rapper (around dedication 2) he wasnt a great lyricist. but hey its his year n the point of being a sellout is to win these awards so good for u fuckin homo.
and i got really excited when i read that about dedication 3 but i realized its gonna b the same annoying bullshit rap hes been putting out all year. plus hes gonna put all his wack ass boys on all the songs so basically id rather go buy fuckin plies album or gucci mane. i hope someone shoots him.
o yea n i think its funny that his lawyer sayss the cop didnt have suspiscion to search him or whatever. id b like ehhhh have u heard any of his songs?
mvp of the year, what the fuck is this, the nba or somethin.
i was thinkin the same shit....they tryna catch up wit the vma's
N*gga is that a nipple ring in yo lip???
it looks like a big ass zit
i hope that the Dedication 3 is tight as the first 2..thats when he came into his own...IN OTHER WORDS LEAVE THAT DAMN VOICE BOX SHIT ALONE!!
IT WON'T BE!!!!....naw but real talk i jus gave up hope on wayne....i keep hopin he'll get back to that Dedication 2 shit...but then he starts wit that crazy shit were i can hardly understand him....and he distorts his voice and stuff....but i guess i dnt hurt to hope.....*crosses fingers*...
BET?
The best part of their show is always the homage to the old heads.
Fuck everything else about em!
Best lyricist?
We need a DefSounds award ceremony!
~Be Eazy!
lupe wasnt with the best lyricist...!!???
man, the powers that be run BET for the dumbing down of black people and the youth in particular.LiL WAYNT best lyricist? c mon!!!!Lupe should be pissed. well, THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD DUMB DOWN CUZIN, BUT I FLATLY REFUSED I AINT DUMB DOWN NUTTIN
DIDN'T THEY JUST HAVE A BET AWARDS LIKE A FEW MONTHS AGO... HOW MANY DO THEY HAVE A YEAR
well this one i guess doesnt have anything to do wit movies, actors. this one deals wit artists in the game.
dedication 3 should be fire if wayne goes back to his old self like 2 years ago with the other dedications and droughts
man how the hell is wayne nominated for lyricist of the year, i could understand jay-z, nas take wayne, t.i, and kanye(wit that voice box) out put in lupe, busta, and luda, i wanna include cass, fab, and jada but this award shit is jus for people who made mainstream songs lately, lil wayne should not win lyricist of the year, best live performer, people's champ(he should get kid's champ or somethin, everyone at least 14 and younger are all over lil wayne jus cuz others listen to him.), track of the year and not even hustler of the year. he might get mvp but i hope he only gets mvp instead of everything else. fuck wayne, neva the best lyricist.
BET lost all credibility when they sold their souls/business to Viacom..Not surprised Wayne has the most nominations...When's the last time black people watched B.E.T.????lol
lol...nigga im watchin it rite now!!!!....(yes im a stereotypical ass nigga).....
The most lyrics to make absolutely no sense award goes to beetlejuice beetlejuice aka lil wayne lol
DAMN lil wayne haters beat me here ya'll aint got nuttin else 2 do why dnt ya'll jus congratulate him and move on AND YA'LL DICKRIDERS FO JUS GOIN 2 DIS JUS 2 HATE LEAVE DA MAN ALONE AND LET HIM DO HIM
i cant believe it
i thought BET had some sence, unlike blender saying pac is the most overrated ever
lil wayne = lyricist of the year?
yea fuckin right, lil wayne is no lyricist are you kidding me?
a millie? "a millionaire thougher then nigerian hair"
and that is a perfect example of why hes no lyricist, he makes no fuckin sence
get off fuckin waynes dick and listen to TRUE lyricists
There YOU summed it up....I CANT BELIEVE IT....that is a RADIO/CLUB/ Shoot just riding down the street in YOUR car BANGER...and who happens to be on that track....COULD it be LIL Wayne! There you said it yourself...and as for the milli verse....he is saying he is a TOUGH person so to speak.....let me brief you since you dont watch TV late night(you know of the infommercials showing African countries and flies getting in the kids eyes with there hair uncombed with no clothing on) or havent been in public...or heard cultural cliches that say that Nigerian/Africans have NAPPY ASS hair...well if you havent heard it before you have NOW....if you wanted it to make sense it would....as for most people and not even STANS as you call them...it made sense the FIRST time they heard it.....BROADEN your horizons people!
a Millionaire,
I'm a Young Money Millionaire
Tougher than Nigerian hair
My criteria compared to your career
Just isn't fair
I'm a venereal disease
Like a menstrual bleed
Threw the pencil and leaked
The sheet of the tablet in my mind
Cause I don't write shit
Cause I ain't got time
Cause my seconds, minutes, hours
Go to the almighty dollar
And the almighty power
Of dat cha cha cha chopper
Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter
Father muthaf**ka copper
Got da maserati dancin'
On the bridge pussy poppin
Tell the poppers
Hahaha you can't catch Em
You can't stop Em
I go by them goon rules
If you can't beat Em
Then you pop Em
You can't man Em
Then you mop Em
You can't stand Em
Then you drop Em
You pop Em
Cause we pop Em
Like Orville Redenbacher
Simple verse, but with a little complexity as well. Don't get me wrong bcuz I ain't callin wayne lyricist of the year bcuz there are rappers who focus solely on lyrics & do it well (Im tlkn about my nigga lu in particular) but don't act like wayne wasn't spittin hot lines on A Milli.
wayne is nominated for 12 awards???? and common,jada,styles,and lupe fiasco,joell ortiz or any artist with substance and actual skill doesn't get 1 nomination?............bet can suck a dick
why yall keep puttin jada name out there????....this is an awards show!!!!...nigga u need to have a song that at least has video...or sum type of promotion or sumthin...u cant jus throw niggas names on the ticket just cuz they rap....U NEED TO BE RELEVANT IN THE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY!!!...Jada's just basically relevant on the web and the streets....

wat the hell are u talking about? u makin no sense just like wayne.. i guess u is weezys girl cuz u all up in his world
Lol y are people surprised I saw this comin a long time ago and last year it was kanye west, which I also saw coming, they do it for ratings not to make tha few hatas to be happy, and next year it will be t-wayne, yal need to have a fall back attack, bet don't care bout how good you are they care about hom many records you are, it aint even about favortism, cuz juelz use to always be on bet and they never gave him an award but they gave jim jones one for one song that's how it is, y get mad they're juss trophys its not like its some magical power to make ur favorite rapper better, who cares? Go make some money
^^^^^mad props....niggas act like a "bet hip hop award" is a fuckin oscar....lol....
damn rite....niggas act like they gettin an award..lmao
Good luck 2 Wayne..but please don't give best lyricist 2 him.
wayne is like kobe u either love him or you hate him.....but the fact of the matter is he did just save the state of the game....absolutely noone else could sell as many records as he just did whether u like it or not and NOONE works harder than him. period. He deserves every bit of recognition and reward that he gets. good job wayne and to the haters do ur thing and let wayne do his, cause obviously his shit is workin for him.
ur just a dick rider
I agree on the LOVE or HATE when it comes to Lil Wayne!
Lamant 87 Can you READ or you just putting RANDOM comments to people that you think may be a Wayne fan....What credible comments do you have to ADD to this discussion other than commenting on what others have wrote? WHEN YOU GET YOU YOUR OWN OPINION THEN YOU can comment to whatever you like? If you dont understand what I wrote maybe you are the one that is under 17! Get a dictionary, get a job, TRY to make it to college and graduate like I did...see if you can figure this out.....does that make me older than 17??? So you wont hurt your precious brain the answer is YES sweet heart!
Invest in knowledge and upgrade your vocabulary....you are the last person to be commenting on Lil Wayne!

dis nigga does not deserve 12 nomines dat album waz trash n he really put wrk n on songz but @ da end of da day he should have mayb 3 or 4 cuz jay unda wayne!!!!???? i dont think so buddy
since viacom bought bet it has turned into black mtv. the reason bet was so great is because it show us (black people) the way are. now bet is bullshit and i dont watch.
