One day his album is being leaked, than on the actual release date of the album he's being sued, so this should have come as no surprise. After sharing a few choice opinions about Al Sharpton in the politically charged song "Misunderstood", Wayne begins a three minute rant about Al Sharpton saying;
"so with that said I don’t vote you, I mean your only human, good or bad
but I also don’t respect you and I don’t care if that’s good or bad
you see you are no MLK you are no Jesse Jackson, you are nobody, to me, your just another don king, with a perm, hahah just a little more political, and that just means you’re a little unhuman
then use humans, and now let me be human and say, f**k al sharp ton and anyone like him"
In a recent Interview, Al Sharpton responded with the following statement
“While some of the rappers don’t like the fact that Rev. Sharpton has been leading marches against the use of the N, B, H words and NAN’s stance against the degradation of women in music, a Gallup poll released last week revealed that Rev. Sharpton has a 50% approval rate among African Americans. So why dignify a response to one rap artist who doesn’t even say anything substantive.”
In other news…
During the song Wayne also touches on topics such as education over incarceration, as well as the sentencing disparities for Cocaine and Crack.
The Carter III was released June 10th and is on pace to have a higher first week in sales than Kanye West "Graduation"
COMMENTS
Carter III already Platinum
With Al Sharpton it's a love hate thing.
Al's always been a leader for african americans...
But at the same time he's also been a thorn in the foot.
Meaning that there are time when he actually does good for us ex: The Sean Bell situation... along with many others... he does "most" things with the right intentions...
But somehow he always manages to execute wrong.
Lil Wayne probably had the same thing happen to him...
Wanted to do something but executed wrong.
At the same time... if he wants to be taken seriously in that realm of Elite african americans doing great things like oprah, al, jesse, bill, JayZ etc etc ...
He's gonna have to fall back with a lot of the "wild" things that he does.
He definitely has the pull to make things happen...
Question is... is he strong enough?
This shit needs to be Deaded asap!
~Be Eazy!

fuck al sharpton read about this 2 days ago on www.worldstarhiphop.com
yall late as hell on this story, mods get on ur job
yall late as hell on this story, mods get on ur job
As a sociopolitical figure, Al Sharpton shares a similar role to Bill O'reilly: they both claim to be advocates of decencey and morality, but in reality their only agenda is self-aggrandizement, or personal promotion and chauvinism. The people in todays world who make the loudest voices are usually the ones with nothing intelligent to say.....wu tang clan ain't nothing to fuk wit
lil lame will never be da man dat hiz mother wuz.
Lil Wayne Cracks 1 Million With 'Tha Carter III'

Fuck Al Sharpton!
Al Sharpton reminds me of that Bun B song off II Trill... "Hey Mister Preacher Man Whataya say, I see you out here tryin to save urslef some ppl today." Then he goes on talkin bout they just act like they care bout the good word so they can get all their nice whipe and jewels and bitches and shit... FUCK DAT!
Why would everyone prop my Fuck Al sharpton comment and then Trash this comment... u guys didnt like II Trill or somethin? i thought that song was dope... u ppl ruin this trash/prop thing.. just dont make sense no more...
i propped you on ya post. niggas ignorant thats all.
That last paragraph pisses me off...y do ppl love lil wayne so much?...the game is getting fucked up and lil wayne is ruining it...its bullshit
how da fuck he messin up da game... when he 1 of da few 2 reach close 2 a mill in a week in da past 3 years???
say he said some real shit on that song........but i mean al sharpton made a point as in wayne is just a rapper who never really has anything to say......nobody can tell me they got anything of substance from lolli pop or very many of tha other songs on tha carter 3...........im not a wayne fan i think dude is mad creative but substance wise he just another rapper it would be diff. if KRS one or even Jayz said some shit like dat it would get more attention............but after all weezy is a drug addicted rapper who is lyrical, has a lot of shit to say, but chooses not to say it on his albums.......he even said it himself, he said "all i rap about is money an bitches y imma waste a line on any nigga im to talented for that".....but its tha lesser of 2 evils for me so im ridin wit wayne on this one
listen thats all you have to do
best part of the album is jay-z's verse of mr. carter and the 1st 2 1/2 minutes of aint got nothin
right when hip hop was goin towards the right direction with kanye, jay-z, and lupe comin out with great albums last year...this faggot has got fuck shit up this year...i guess its back to ringtone rap
lil wayne is shity so is the carter 3
you guys should really check Al Sharptons Track Record before you bash him, Im not saying I agree with his campaign against Hip hop, but he's not just some Gimmick civil atavist, this isn't just for publicity and smiles.
I agree Lyrical!
~Be Eazy!
the Carter 3 is garbage
if the Carter 3 is garbage i wanna knw what u smokin...so i can stay away from tht shit...."tht's how u let the beat build...bitch"....ya'll niggas need to listen without prejudice.....big up the man 4 being hisself in an industry full of cookie cutter, same mold ass shit...Im more than sure he not knockn u 4 being u..if everybody in the game had da own mind an did them, hip hop would b reincarnated overnite...real talk
LOL!!! Shut that Shit up i laugh at dumb niggas who say dumb shit
yall dudes r funny...monkey see monkey do niggaz...idolizing these cats. Why dont you put some of that idolizing on GOD. Who made and gave niggaz skills to do what they do. Give the glory 2 GOD not Man.
...ok kirk franklin
dang his album is reaeased we should be done with this bs drama.go in a house n stay there for a while wayne.or hop ona remix in a month or two.are we gan e able to enjoy t.o.s.,LAX,the nas album,or the busta album?or is waynes ass gna try and do something to try and put him in the spotlight?
man ever1 forgetin bout 3-6's new shit bet its gon b better than c3 or anything sharptons gotta say
al sharpton makes blacks look bad, love it or hate it.it's the truth....he make it seem like blacks are the only ones who degrade women.....whites/blacks/hispanics/asians/blue/red/green colored ppl do it too. ok we say "bitches and ho's" in about 40% of our punchlines but if you turn it to the country music channel theres a blonde running around a pick up truck with her titties out and the hispanic channel have chica's shakin their ass like its a motor in the mothafucka so al sharpton needs to dye his don king un-combed perm and be easy
yo suck my dick sharpton
Fuck a Sharpton!! Grimy ass nigga always tryin to rob the community and speak out with bullshit when its not needed!
Speak out against people still sufferin from Katrina, how schools arent being funded right and other shit.... nigga worried about Lil Wayne
and oh yea.. BITCHES NIGGA AND HOES!!!!
Muthafuck Al Sharpton!!! This bitch ass nigga is only going after hip hop because men like Sean Hannity said he was a hypocrite for going at rap the way he went at Imus. This is all about his own credibility or lack there of. Al doesn't have our best interest at heart. If he did why make a public specticle of dissing young black men in public.
He could have easily had a sit down with rappers and talked to them like an old head would or should do. Does this dumb bastard honestly think rap is our biggest issue? LMAO All the ills of the world were here long before rap and wll be here long after it's gone.
It's almost as pointless as them trying to make sagging a crime. Rap music has done way more for the hood and the world than his perm wearing money stealing ass could ever do. Just think of the impact rap has made on race relations in America? It's had for a White guy to hate you when his favorite rapper is Weezy.
Fuck Al and that nappy headed ho chasing Jesse. These dudes are old news and have done nothing but line they pockets.
WOW ELO!!!
Where the hell have YOU been at?
Good shit as always!
~Be Eazy!
Fuck Al Sharpton is right. he aint had no crediility with me since he stood up and fought hard for tawana brawly's lying ass way back in the 80's. first he had a war of words with david banner, now its weezy. fuck rev. Al. bitch ass nigga.
"So why dignify a response to one rap artist who doesn’t even say anything substantive.”
......
Ouch.
yall talking like lil wayne did anything for yall, so many ppl like this fake ass nigga, that fuck nigga lives in south beach, you will never catch him in the real MIA, why, cause he's a flaw ass nigga, and yall dumb asses for believing his album, or his songs, believe NAS, believe JAY Z, believe COMMON, or LUPE, etc..... but this nigga wayne, cmon, what the hell has he done to make yall believers of him, he is hot because of his daddy, not babby, but his dream daddy that taught him the game, JAY Z, listen to wayne when cash money came out, then listen to him now, big difference, his words come from Philly and NY, nobody in louisiana talks like that, nor the south unless you came from the north, feel me, so im letting yall know, he is an imposter, period, we see him down here in dade, and he aint shit, never will be G.O.A.T.
Damn, Carter III gonna outsell Graduation? thats hard to believe
dissing Al Sharpton is like dissing your dad man, dudes reaching his 60's.
...And Wayne "doesn’t even say anything substantive.”
Lupe and Talib are the ones who should be outselling everybody, thanks to the wack listeners and fans that aint gonna happen.
B-Rock...
Lupe, COmmon, Talib, Mos... and any other lyricist will NEVER sell because they refuse to adapt to this dumb ass state of "music" that we're in.
Everyone's too hooked on the DUMBED DOWN shit!
People that deserve things...rarely ever receive them...
Especially not in todays world.
~Be Eazy!
Aiight I see we still got "The Mad Trasher" runnin' around trashin' anything that's not in support of Lil Wayne.
Too many fags on this site now.
~Be Eazy!
lol @ the mad trasher!!
u know Wayne got them on payroll and they live, eat and breath him! sad at how people get emo over another dude that doesnt even know they exist
whats wrong wit listening to music thats fun and u can rock too and fuck bitches too... Not ALL music gotta be conscious ass, stugglin in the hood, bitchin bout "The Man", buncha big words thrown together cuz they rhyme music... if thats ALL u listen to then fine... but dont sit and post and talk more about the rapper you hate then u do the rappers u support...
so many fags but u change your avator every day`like you on match maker it just not adding up bruh
yea for real yo... its an AVATAR not a fuckin portrait... this aint a modelin site... and u callin ppl fags, heh. Its supposed to represent you not be you... no1 give a fuck what u look like yo! get da fuck outta here
Exactly, its these young cats out there, they see this little ugly kid spending his daddy's money and being on everybody's record, then stating he's the best rapper alive, my god, the nerve, id like to see him say that in NAS's face.
Ok Ugly Is An Understatement....And Nas Wouldnt Even Care He'd Just Say Check The Credentials/Consistency Speaks For Itself
...Well real artists gotta start taking over the mainstream NOW if we ever wanna see a Renaissance or Rebirth of hip hop.
forget both of them they don't sway the way i think and they shouldn't sway the way none of yall think either. get money f the rest!
Same niggas in here bitching about Wayne will let Lupe's, Common's, Talib's, Mos Def's, Nas', and whoever else you want to bring up albums sit on the shelf. Stop hating and worrying about an artist who you dont like fanbase. Support and show love to the artist you do like. WHY IS THIS SOOOOOO HARD TO DO????????? If it would have been Mos Def in the title, this page would have had 20 comments, and you probably would not have left one of them. Niggas are thinging backwards these days.
damn!! Get EM! u so right yo
ALL u have now today is Niggas crying about the REAL lyrical MC's out there are not getting the Credit or support they derserve..Its because U same Niggas aint SUPPORTING the album.. I got love for Lupe mos and common. And I have all their REAL albums.
People know that Females are the ones that go out to purchase albums now Because niggas wanna be cheap and not support Hip Hop because we got niggas They stay on the computer and Limewire dick.. And now the same people wanna say "oh hip hop is dead bah blah blah" Just look in the mirror bitches and u will find out why we have Ringtone Rap...
FUCK AL!
wayne's a good rapper but he's the wrong person to be the voice of hip hop in this situation i mean we should have say Common,Busta Rhymes,David Banner,Jay-Z,Kanye West or Kanye West i mean al sharpton talks to damn much and he swear he MLK but wayne just shouldn't be the voice of hip hop he promotes gangbanging well we all know he a fake blood but still,and he's a drug addict that's the worst but of course the wayne stans or going to agree with wayne because they think everything he does is right i applaud for sticking up for something but he's just the wrong person to be doing it
I got all the best rappers albums, im old school and new school hip hop, i got shit from Rakim that would blow off today with another beat, so the thing is, wayne is not on that level to come out and state opinions towards political icons like Al, you may not like Al, but he did alot for your moms and dads before yall were even born, so respect your elders, and everything this imposter raps about, aint even true, so i dont believe him, nor his music, thats the point, wake up black america, everybody who bought his album was fooled, but im not hating on his hustle, he fooled yall, so big ups to his bank account and marketing team.
wayne is not on that level to come out and state opinions towards political icons like Al"
Talk about a self righteous statement.
Who is Nas to come out and state his opinions about the world? Who is NYOil to state his opionions about Nas? Most importantly, who are YOU to personally decide when a person has earned the right to state his opinion?
I would be different if this was an unprovoked attack, but Sharpton has had this comming for a while.
anyone can tlk about any political icon if they plz... u sayin wayne is not on a level 2 tlk bout political icons... its like sayin wayne don't have da right 2 tlk about bush
anyone and everyone can tlk bout anyone and every political icon thats out there... but based on da person u don't have 2 agree with it
why do you keep saying the same thing?? i don't believe NONE of these rappers...none of them are real! they make good music an that's all that matters..credibility don't matter anymore cause everyone knows already that rappers lie. most of the time these rappers are just kids that grew up playin basketball an thinkin they're gangsta! how do you think most of them woulda made it in the game if ANY of them were really out slanging drugs an all that all the time....answer is..they wouldn't! an then people are like..well they got felonies so that must mean they did all kinds of shit! no dumbass...that means they did it that time an were dumb enough to get caught! all i'm tryin to say is...there is not ONE rapper who i actually believe is doin any of that shit...just listen to the music people
CARTER 3 IS THE BEST ALBUM I HEARD SINCE ALL EYES ON ME. Y CUZ IT AINT ABOUT THE SAME OLD BULLSHIT. HIS VOCAB AND DELIVERY IS JUST OUTSTANDING, FLOW IS VERSATILE AND SUBJECT MATTER MATTER SO COMPLEX THAT MOST OF YOU DONT EVEN GET HALF OF WHAT HE'S SAY'IN. IM A FAN OF MUSIC, ALL TYPES. I TRY AND LISTEN TO THE POINT AND THIS GUY IS TO SHARP THAT UR EARS GET ALL CUT UP AND YOU CANT TAKE IT SO U STOP LISTENIN. TO SUM IT UP MOST OF YALL ARE COMMERCIAL FANS. IF IT AINT ABOUT BITCHS JEWELS AND GUNS YOU PROBABLY DONT UNDERSTAND WHATS GOIN ON. PEOPLE DONT DO NUMBERS LIKE THAT FOR NO REASON, PLUS HIS SHIT WAS LEAKED. IM GOING TO BUT THE ALBUM LIKE 10 TIMES TO SUPPORT HIP HOP AND THIS MAN FOR ALL THE WORK HE'S PUT IN.
P.S. FUCK MIX TAPE DJ'S FUCK DAT PIFF AND FUCK U 2
sham...
bitches guns and jewels is most of wat wayne raps about. and he is a commercial rapper so wtf u talkin bout?
bk boy... he not a story teller.. he freestyles..he make hit singles.... he sell records even after the album been leaked.. Givce Him A lil Credit
Ok, i see where you going with this, i guess what im trying to say is, its how you say things rather what you say, and you just cant be coming at political ppl like that, yeah Al has his big mouth in the hip hop community, but theres a structure in the game, and you have to know your place and play your position, im not telling anybody to do anything, but as my opinion, lil wayne has no rank, nor is he in any position make those kinds of statements, cause he is representing hip hop community right thur, and making hip hop look ignorant, classless, by saying F al sharpton, cmon, this is a grown man's situation, and he's a kid with a big mouth, thats all im saying, respect.
and the last time i listened to weezy's music, i thought he was talking about bitches and jewls and young money, and all the money he has and makes, shit like that, whats he gonna talk about, the hood, where he is from, how many ppl he shot, cmon, you think he has a history like that, if you believe his music, thats you, but you were fooled if you did believe what comes out of his mouth, im the type of person, where i have to believe the music in order to enjoy it, especially hip hop, thats how the greats become greats, ppl loved 2pac because they believed his music, and everything that came out of his mouth, he was real about it, dont see that much with this guy.
Damn Yves...
You're saving me a lotta typing...
Keep going!
~Be Eazy!
what are you even talkin about!? do you even know!? people in Cali always knew 2pac wasn't really doin the shit he was sayin...we knew this! he was just the best MUSIC maker at the time! what's up with you an credibility!? IT DOESN'T MATTER!
damn i didnt realize how many people hated sharpton.
