At the third annual BET Hip Hop awards this past weekend, Wayne was the evening’s biggest winner, taking home four of the five awards presented during the taping.
He also took home the Alltel Wireless People’s Champ Award, Lyricist of the Year and MVP of the Year.
Aside from packing up a bevy of awards, Wayne took some time to announce he's expecting his first son in just a "couple of days."
In other news…
And if that wasn't enough, Weezy also announced the re-release of the Carter III featuring an entire new line up of tracks.
The forthcoming album is not the Carter IV, it will be released as an extension to the platinum selling Carter III.

damn this nigga cleanin up Lyricist of the Year i would have not givin him that he good but he aint da best at that shit tho
I agree, Not hating, but he isn't even close to the nicest lyricist.....But its a "BET Awards" show so what can you expect?, its for the mainstream.
Wayne is strangling the game right now lol its funny cause he finna be a rockstar and the haters are angry boo hoo bitches and give props at least for his acomplishments
best lyricist? hahahahahahahahahahaha!!
he is naming his son "really lil wayne" and he won lyricist of the year. this is how dumb the usa is right now
Wow he done came up......... Best lyricist, nah..... but he did have a good year, I can't hate on that.
I;m glad to see a brother doing his thang. Even though i'm not a big fan of c3 and a lot of his features. I still cant knock someone for hustlin'.
Plus on a more important note... he's about to be a father to a son. So hopefully... he'll cut loose from Baby's grasp...the drugs...and all of the other bs and realize that he's gonna have someone looking up to and mimicking his every move...right and wrong.
~Be Eazy!
Wayne is the best hard working rapper right now in the Game. He deserve everything his getting. The thing about Wayne is that people seen him grew from Nothing to the top of the Throne. ( like wow this kid really did it) His setting an example that we have to appreciate, cause it's a blessing to the world every time his on mic.
BIG YEAR FOR WEEZY
PROPS
thats dumb...he should have just let carter 3 ride as a good album and left it as it is
now if this one doesnt sell its gonna be looked at like the carter 3 was a failure
i think he should come up with a new idea and leave the carter trilogy alone and be done with it
would u give b.e.t some fucking needpadds becasue they need to stop sucking him off
ahhh man lil wayne got birdman pregnant
LMAO^^
Nah but you can knock Wayne all you want, but you can't front: Wayne gets bitches. He had Trina, supposedly Lauren London, and I'm almost positive that he got Nivea (chick for Mystikal's Danger video) knocked up.
lol im not sayin hes the best.. but this nigga got lyrics for days.. hes not a punchline kid.. but hes got lyrics.. different.. no hide-n-go seek, bitch im IT.. dig it..
He also got Baby. LUCCCKY. Do the bloods know one of there members is dancing on top of cars with their shirt off sucking lollipops. O well guess that how the real gangsters roll.
Everyone expected Wayne to get all of those awards but I dont care if hes on his grind or not him winning Lyricist of the year over NAS and Jay is just fuckin ridiculous! Nas deserves Lyricist of All Time if waynes gonna get it for the year.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Wayne isn't all what he's cracked up to be...
This is Coming from a once die hard Lil Wayne Fan...
At one point in his Career he Made Music that would actually provoke a thought or two, But since most of his listeners are brain-dead following the example that Lil Wayne provides for them, they can't see past all the nonsense spewing out of his mouth...
Though Lil Wayne is this year's MVP (For Now) he's not the dopest lyricist and definitely not the best rapper alive...
Although I have to give him his props for his grind and charisma, and he does have a lot of haters so he must be doing something right...
I agree with some of you though, he does keep Hip-Hop alive but at what cost?... He has literally watered it down and tainted minds and ears all over the world buyin into the nonsense he spits... Read a book and stop arguing over this shit...1
^^^GANGSTALICIOUS N SKILLZ..NOT 2 DISRESPECT.KEY WORDZ...THIS YEAR!!...THEY DINT SAY BEST LYRICIST OF ALL TIME..THEY SAID THIS YEAR..BUT YEH WEEZY DOIN HIS THING LIKE ALWAYZ...
SHOUT TO YOUNG MONEY-CASH MONEY! SHOUT TO MY NIGGA BR1SCO!! JUST SIGNED WIT CASH MONEY!!
BLACK WALLSTREET BITCH!!!

he only sold like a million the first week then the next week like 200,00 the next week, dont give him that much credit...
the nigga aint that nice. have you heard him lately. the shit he says makes no fuckin sence at all. i think you at least have to make sence before you can be considered nice.
Eminem 09
But weezy will be taking over as well ;)
i hope that having a child will clean up his act and give him inspiration 2 put that drink down.
^^^^
Dude has like an 8 year old daughter.....why would another kid make any difference? (In fact i think that is her in the pic up top)
That is her.
Thats Not His Daughter... Thats A Rapper Who Signed 2 Yung Money Name Lil Chucky.. hints the C chain around HIS neck
Peoples Champ- Yeah
MVP(?)- I guess
Best lyricist- FUCK NO!
it baffles me how some of yall give wayne no respect for his lyrics... that is why he sold 2.5 u know? people didn't buy that shit to listen to dancehall music, he lyrics provoke thought, that's why on facebook and myspace everybody has a headliner of a wayne bar, shits clever
i didnt know baby could get pregnant hahahaha!!!!!!!!
The Dream is currently recording the ballad, "He Stole My Wife!"
Lil wayne is not the best lyricist.
he's good. he got talant. but he is pretty overrated,
Peace from denmark
Cant wait for the re-release...Lets see him go hard
wayne been on it alot longer then 07
Well I myself, not being a die-hard Wayne fan who finds everything he does as golden got a newfound respect for the guy.
He's on his grind...
although i think theres plenty more people who also deserve the same recognition but it's good 2 see someone successful...
just hopes he lays off the drugs and what not because with his following he definitly has the potential to better people lives.
Lil Wayne shouldn't have won the Lyricist of the year when you hear lines like,
"I'ma need a Coupe, I won't need a roof
Flyer then Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice" [Beetlejuice? - an 80's movie with Michael Keaton]
"You can't stand em then you drop em
You drop em cuz we 'pop em like Orville Redenbacher" ['pop em like Orville Redenbacher?' - sounds way too similar to Das Efx, who used that in their song 'Jussumen' in 1992 -- Diggity yes, back up, I just come like Shaka
Zulu, I pop like Orville Redenbacher -- Jussumen by Das Efx

"Threw the pencil and leak on the sheet of the tablet of my mind
Cuz I don't write shit cuz I ain't got time
Cause my seconds, minutes, hours go to the almighty dollar" [You can plainly see in the line--'Cuz I don't write shit cuz I ain't got time'-- that he doesn't take the time to carefully plan out and construct his lyrics, it's more of gobble of words just put together without any preparation.
Lil' Wayne -- the most popular rapper right now, obviously.
Lyricist of the year........I strongly disagree!!!! It's my opinion as you can see.
"[You can plainly see in the line--'Cuz I don't write shit cuz I ain't got time'-- that he doesn't take the time to carefully plan out and construct his lyrics, it's more of gobble of words just put together without any preparation."
^ this is most retarded shit i ever heard. you can see huh? he just told you he doesn't plan out or prepare his lyrics, right there in that very line. thats what makes it exciting. would you rather listen to someone you can predict what there gonna rap or someone that you have no clue. seems to me the movie i haven't seen is gonna keep me in my seat. rather then the one i seen 4 times.
so listening to some dude you can barely understand in the first place, ramble into the microphone, high on drink and e-bombs, is exciting because you know he didnt take the time to think about what the fuck he's saying? and thats your defense of weezy being the best lyricist?
Car black, car big, car fast, Car-ter
Can I stick my pencil in your sharpner
Beat it up like its a drum, call me Travis Barker
just listen to the hook for I'm Me and you'll realize this dude might even be dyslexic.
Rc82:
Listenin' to Wayne is just like watching a movie you've seen 100 times and memorized all the lines in the script and know when all the scenes are going to happen. Just because he makes shit off the top doesn't mean it's not predictable. We all know he's gonna say something about money, fuckin' bitches, being high as a fuckin' kite, money again, doin' street shit he's never done, money AGAIN, kissin' Baby and tryna validate it, and some stupid shit like a reference to the Gremlins. Wayne has a good hustle and I respect that but he is not as lyrical as people are trying to say he is.
You mean to tell me on a positive story, all you n****s can do is say something negative ???
Please take yall finger out yall a** and shut the f*** up !!!
shut up nigga
Wayne for lyricist of the year
ARE you fuckin serious
God Rap now adays is just FUCKED

uhhh, good for him.
I don't enjoy wayne nearly as much as i use to... but, still don''t think he should have won... drought 3 and dedication came out to long ago.
best lyricist haha fuckin joke
From now on when they post news on Lil Wayne, they should just make a hater page too...
No one forces you to listen to/acknowledge/ or even give a fuk about Lil Wayne
If you don't like his music or style than find an artist you do like and use your hatin time to praise him
He's overrated.. He deserves this award cuz he is on his grind like no other, but that nigga is not hott! Isn't it funny that the same hatred towards 50cent.. You know he makes music for 14 year old white suburban girls is dismissed when talking about Wayne?
Lil Wayne fans=S.E.C. football fans=Mccain fans...No real arguments, no solid points..Just a shitload of numbers
Look at the last 2 national championships for your SEC argument.
Weezy is not the lyricist of the year, but he should be MVP cause he dominated this year. He's good but I still can't say dat he's great. I'm not hatin on him cuz he say some hot stuff, but he's not the best. He's a hustler and that is well documented. But other than that he's still jus a average artist...Learn it.
ReDef.
Nas should have took home lyricist of the year, and Tip should have snagged album of the year, but the rest of the awards, Wayne was deserving to get.
if your tired of lil wayne and wanna hear a bite get takin outta him go to
myspace.com/knokthat and listen to "Dont Matter"
Real Hip Hop no ringtones
So, will the re-released version be full of throwaways, or was Wayne genius enough to hold back 15 album worthy tracks? I'm betting on the first, but the latter would a nice X-mas gift...
Papaer Trail in my opinion was better than C3. I think that he probably got the lyricist of the year because he has the most fans. Wayne is sick and I hate when people hate on him. haters.
HOW DA FUK YALL NO GETIN MONEY ASS NIGGAZ GONE TALK WHEN DA MAN DONE FLOODED EVERY NIGGA IN DA RAP GAME OUT DIS YEAR BET NO ONE GONE SELL A MILLIE BLUE PRINT 3, 808 N HEARTBREAKS AND WHO EVER DROP THIS 4TH QUARTER DATS COMMIN UP EM MIGHT DA ONLY NIGGA WAIT HE AINT NO NIGGA STOP HATIN ON WEEZY GIVE PROPS

50 CENT? are you serious DAKush420 that album is going to be trash
Gimme props on this: Wayne's comp don't do wut he do, they make the same money or even more by not havin to do the bull dat Wayne do. Carter 3 wuz not the album of the year. The 4th quarter will defeat Weezy...Learn it.
ReDef.
Award shows are pointless lil wayne hops on some hot songs but solo he aint nothin special i aint hatin on him gettin money sellin a mill in a week but he aint close to best that ever done it....the industry aint what it used to be so he aint got much competition he sells cuz they hype his ass up hes the shit for high school kids hes a fad
