Lil Wayne is not my favorite rapper, but he’s nicer than the guy who is.  I respect his skills, his work ethic, and his creativity.  He’s got clever metaphors for days, and he can flow on any beat.  His latest mixtape No Ceilings has too many quotables to list, and his verses are so long it’s almost ridiculous.  And after watching the all access, behind the scenes documentary about his life, The Carter, I like his music even more.  Maybe it’s because he’s so passionate about it.  All he ever really wants to do is record.  He does it no matter where he is.  In studios of course, but also in hotel rooms, on his tour bus, and anywhere else he can set up a microphone.  He’ll even push the buttons himself, and he doesn’t write any of his lyrics down.  And yo, he smokes weed and drinks sizzurp out of doubled up styrofoam cups all day and night.  During interviews, recording sessions, hanging out on the bus, getting tattooed, you name it.  The guy loves getting fucked up.  It’s kind of impressive.  I really suggest checking out this documentary when you get a chance, whether you like his music or not.  Here’s a preview of it.  The producers of the movie leaked the first 10 minutes, which shows him out in Amsterdam, and it will give you a feel for what it’s all about…
