Fabolous Inspired By ”No Ceilings” & “So Far Gone” [Video]
December 25th, 2009
admin In the video below, Fabolous speaks on how Lil Wayne and Drake’s mixtapes influenced him to do a mixtape himself.
The Drake mixtape of course was a huge success, Lil Wayne’s tape generated a lot of interest. I saw Wayne and just listening to his tape gave me kinda the feeling that people still accepted the mixtapes and wanted to hear it. I guess it’s particular artists that they attach to but I had felt even with the most high-class artists, people were getting so used to getting free music that the mixtape game wasn’t that influential anymore. So when I seen what [Wayne's] No Ceilings did, it let me see that there’s still definitely potential there, there’s still that market there. I think for me it’s definitely there because my albums tend to be a little more mainstream than my mixtapes.

Lil Wayne & DJ Scoob Doo Let Us Into The Studio [Video]
December 22nd, 2009
admin On Monday, DJ Scoob Doo gave MTV News a behind-the-scenes preview of his new DVD, “The Nino Brown Story Pt. 2,” featuring Lil Wayne reflecting on his past. Now Scoob graced us with another preview, showing us how Wayne really gets down in the studio.
You would imagine that a Lil Wayne recording session would involve a smoke-filled room and Weezy bobbing spastically in the booth, spitting an onslaught of lyrics at the mic. The fact that Wayne doesn’t write anything down only adds to the legend but it’s the small things that set Wayne apart from the rest.
Wayne is shown listening to the playback of a freestyle he spit over Jay-Z’s “D.O.A (Death of Auto-Tune)” for his No Ceilings mixtape, and he’s not sure if he’s getting his point across.
“Say, because I said, ‘Getting swallowed in a Maybach,’ I meant the Maybach’s so big. I don’t want nigga thinking I’m getting head in the Maybach.”
After a sip of his juice, a lightbulb seemly goes off in his head and Wayne runs back into the booth. He asks his engineer to play the sound back from a certain point and begins to re-record the lines, “I do it for my team Tim Tebow, nigga/ I’m killin’ this shit, grim reap flow nigga/ Getting swallowed by the Maybach, deep throat nigga.”
According to DJ Scoob Doo, Wayne’s partner on the DVD, the clip was shot in the wee hours of the morning in the rapper’s Miami condo. “You get to see how much fun Lil Wayne has making songs. It’s phenomenal to see somebody at 7 o’clock in the morning or 8 o’clock in the morning after being in the studio for a good 10, 12 hours and still having fun.”
Wanye exited the booth excited to hear the small change, and then turned to the camera to explain the importance of paying attention to detail.
“That’s important, rappers, on the real — two-letter words are important. You gotta change shit. Think about the things you say, because people are listening,” Wayne said. “It’s simple, but it’s important.
“And this is just a mixtape.” Shout outs to DJ Scoob Doo, check out his website at DJScoobDoo.com. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
Lil Wayne & Scoob Doo “Nino Brown Story Pt. 2″ Preview [Video]
December 21st, 2009
admin Lil Wayne has come a long way since he was in school, and he’s got the crib to prove it. In an exclusive preview from Wayne and DJ Scoob Doo’s forthcoming behind-the-scenes DVD, “The Nino Brown Story, Pt. 2” (the follow-up to 2008’s part one), we get a look at Wayne’s home and hear him reflecting on his past.
In the clip, Wayne talks about his early days as a rapper. “I was still in school after I dropped my first solo album,” he said. “After I dropped Tha Block Is Hot, I was still in school. It was platinum and I was still in school.”
Wayne was literally riding the success of his 1999 debut album, with a brand-new Mercedes-Benz drop-top two-seater with a Kompressor engine. He said that many of the people in his neighborhood didn’t know such a car existed, and thought he’d had it made especially for him. But his good fortune did not end there, as he got a call from Cash Money label head Baby one evening, asking him to come to his house: ” ‘Yo shawty, come to the crib,’ ” Wayne recalled him saying. Wayne said he went to Baby’s house and was told to go to the back, where the tarp was taken off of a BMW two-seater, a gift from the label.
In the clip, Wayne also recalls that his mother ordered him to leave school. “My mom, she made me quit,” he said. ” ‘Look, I’m going to let you quit school, but them b—-s better get you a tutor!’ ” Wayne said, mimicking his mother’s voice. He said he called up Baby to make it happen.
” ‘Yo B, my momma said I have to get me a tutor.’ I had the tutor the next day,” he recalled. ” ‘You gotta go at 9, shorty,’ ” Baby said.
Despite his mother’s insistence, Wayne said he continued to go to his old school anyway. “They used to make me get off the campus and all kinds of wild shit. ‘Get off the campus!’ C’mon man, I’m my own millionaire! You gonna really kick me off a public school campus? I just was going to this [school] last week, making straight A’s.”
“I love school, like my daughter,” he continued. “My daughter cries when we say she has to stay home because she’s sick.”
Later in the clip Wayne exits the studio area of his Miami mansion walking down a narrow hallway that has one of the walls adorned with a number of guitars. The kitchen area sitting just outside Wayne’s living room is surrounded by a pile of clothes and fitted baseball caps that sit neatly on the floor. “Clothes on the floor,” Wayne confirms to the camera. After a long day of work, Weezy F Baby sits comfortably in his living room watching a Boston Red Sox game on his flat-screen television with two of his pals.
MTV News will have more footage from Lil Wayne and Scoob Doo’s “The Nino Brown Story, Pt. 2” this week!
