Can someone explain Lil Wayne to me?

[flvegan]

He's the "musical" guest on SNL tonight and after 2 minutes, I'm at a loss.

[TroglodyteScholar]

1. I got nothin. n/t

[nadine_mn]

2. LMAO - I was watching - but was transfixed by whether his pants would fall off

I actually like the music, but I was concerned about those pants... his butt was out man

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. first sign that you are gettig old...

sorry dude.

[flvegan]

9. What is?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. asking for an explanation...

dude, I don't get either but, I am so old that I no longer care that I don't get it ;)

[LeftyMom]

4. Who?

I think I can join you in the cranky old people's club.

[sniffa]

7. Oh c'mon

You're not in that club for at least 3 years. You need to be at least 55, before you're in that club.

[LeftyMom]

8. Don't make me hit you with my cane, sonny.

And I'll have you know that flvegan says still as sexy as ever because I dance a mean Charleston at the senior center mixers. And something about taking my teeth out, which I'll confess I didn't quite catch because I needed to change my hearing aid battery.

[sniffa]

12. It's all about the gummers

Don't sweat what he says - it's all about the gum jobs.

:hide:

[Swede]

5. He's a gay rapper.

He's also a thug.

[crimsonblue]

14. Are you using "gay" as a pejorative?

He is heterosexual, fyi.

[Swede]

18. He's a gay rapper.

Did you see him kissing some of the bigwig? Mouth on mouth is gay. Not that there is anything wrong with a=that.

[crimsonblue]

20. so a kiss makes him gay?

Do a little research before you start spouting off on the sexuality of people. It makes you look ignorant.

[Swede]

21. Mouth to mouth is kinda gay

Yep.

[crimsonblue]

23. Well I kiss my mom on the mouth

so you can just call me Oedipus.

[sniffa]

6. He's the guy who gets NFL players busted for marijuana

and one week suspension at leat.

YE-EEAH, OK.

WHAT?

Oh, sorry, wrong, shitty rap artist.

[chicagoexpat]

10. yes, see thread below & change each lette to 7 letters in advance of it (its in CODE)

[crimsonblue]

13. you're too old to understand...

it happens to everybody when they get old. It happened with Elvis and the Beatles, it happened with Disco, it happened with grunge and now with rap/hip hop.

[flvegan]

16. 36 is too old to understand the draw of shitty music?

And from what I saw of Mr. Wayne this evening, he doesn't get rap nor hip hop either. He seems to have gone pseudo electronica shit. He's like a talentless Bon Jovi upon discovering the mic voice box.

[jeff30997]

17. And for McClown...

it happened with caveman music.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. He sounded fairly normal ten years ago.

I don't know what this voicebox shit is about, though.

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Agreed

:wtf:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. A lot of mainstream rap lately sounds just like that.

If you just heard the song and didn't see it live, you would assume a computer program was rapping.

[Ava]

24. i cannot explain him to you

all i know about him is that his music sucks

[flvegan]

25. Thank the gawds.

Educated younger folk that I have deep respect for have chimed in, and I feel better about my failure to get this idiot.
