Lil Wayne denied access to OKC/Spurs game 3

[rondohondo]

We wouldn't purport to know much about the musical stylings of Lil Wayne, though we did see him do some rather distasteful things to a guitar once, but we do know that you usually need "tickets" to get into an "event." And if the tickets to the event are sold out, then you can't usually attend the event. And if you're going to make a request for a possible exception to that rule — even if you're attempting to get into a game that has already been sold out for weeks — don't do it with the caveat that you will be requesting front row seats only, all other ducats be [dang]ed. Like rapper Lil Wayne did, for Thursday's Game 3 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs. The Thunder, with no seats to spare (least of all no front row seats to spare), politely declined. From the Associated Press:

    "Thunder spokesman Dan Mahoney says Lil Wayne's representatives did contact the team requesting tickets but insisted that he sit on the front row, and none of those seats was available. Oklahoma City sold out every home game during the regular season and playoffs this season. Mahoney says: 'We'd love to have him at a game, but like anyone else, he needs a ticket.'''

Lil Wayne, spurned and stuck in Oklahoma City, classily took to Twitter to complain about being denied what apparently was rightfully his (at the last second, with a requested vantage point better than 99 percent of the game's 18,203 attendees):

Was going to go to the Thunder game tonight but was denied by the team to be in their arena. Wow. Smh. Go Spurs!

You think that Lollipop crap was great?

If he promised to stop trying to make music ...maybe we'll see about getting him a ticket.

Not really, but it obviously was a smash hit on radio and in clubs. Plus everyone knows you need a radio single these days. The rest of the album was decent. Carter 2 was amazing. No ceilings was great.

What's not to like?

Granted I enjoy all sub genres of rap and don't have misconceptions of what to expect.

You can't compare someone like Gucci to Jay Electronica, it's not fair to neither the artists nor fans.

My roommates who loved little Wayne in college went to a concert and said it was the worst 2 hours of their lives. He sucks

I think the opposite is true. If you think Lil Wayne is good hip-hop then you don't know what good hip-hop is. I'm talking Em before 8-mile, Talib with Mos, AZ, Mega, Wu. "Lil" (how played out was "Lil" 5 years before he burst onto the scene anyway?) Wayne is 100% pure garbage.

Just some lines from this brilliant man.....

"Don't f up with Wayne/ 'Cause when it Waynes it pours"

"Real G's move in silence like lasagna"

"Boy I send them bloods at your ass/ Like a tampon"

"I've been at the top for a while/ And I ain't jumped yet"

OH MY GOD  !!! What a lyrical genius  

no wonder america's youth is getting dumber by the minute

Go listen to someone like Just Ice if you wanna hear real hip hop

[SquishPCfriar]

Lil Wayne is a terrible rapper. Sounds like a dying animal when he raps. Someone should castrate him!

Omg I saw this before and I was laughing like a hyena. He is by far the worst rapper I have seen/heard. Maybe tied with Wocka Flocka

Lil Wayne, the drug addled, faux gangster, wanna be Hendrix that he is, played the race card.

Says that's why he was denied a ticket. Cuz that makes sense.

[indeedproceed]

And to be fair, I don't think he's a terrible mc, I just don't think he's to be considered with the top guys in the game. He's the Vince carter of rap. Talented, mean flow, superficially creative. But flaky, lacking real substance.
