New Orleans bred/Miami-based rapper Lil’ Wayne recently took the time to give a public service announcement to his fans and most importantly, those who have followed his career over the years.
In a 30-minute video that includes a tour around his Miami home, Wayne pays tribute to the late Steve Jobs and then covers an assortment of topics.
Wayne even described his brushes with the Bloods behind bars in New York’s Rikers Island prison.
“Speaking of the gang bang [expletive], when I first did my time, the first day I rolled in jail, they had two big [expletive]came to my cell, pull me out my [expletive], put me in a pantry, closed the door, pulled my shirt up, with a magazine and everything and said you are a Blood.”
Showing his fans his studio and his house, Wayne gave fans an in-depth look at the world he is living in behind the scenes.
“This is all that matters,” Wayne said of his studio.
Philosophically Wayne asked people to search for a self-understanding and self-realization, by challenging themselves to understand why it is they do the things they do on a daily basis.
“Do what you do ladies and gentleman, and it do it well and know why you are doing it and don’t be afraid to believe in why you are doing it. And if so be it, Lil’ Wayne is the reason, and I ain’t just talking to kids and other people, I’m talking to rappers and athletes that grow their hair long,” Wayne explained enthusiastically.
Wayne concluded with a plug for his new Young Money Discover Card that hit markets recently.
“If you ain’t doing nothing ladies and gentleman, what you want to go and do is go get the new Young Money Discover Card, plug,” Wayne said as the camera zoomed in. “This right here is my new credit card, debit card, you don’t have to have a bank account for this, this is a prepaid card, deposit your money into it, you don’t need to have no good credit or anything like that. ”
