Ever since The Carter documentary was shown at this year’s Sundance Film Festival to great reviews, and ever since Lil’ Wayne’s camp tried to sue QD3 Entertainment claiming the film painted Weezy in a negative light (Meaning they showed a lotta drug use), I’ve been interested in watching this film. Seeing that it was just released released on DVD last Tuesday, you can figure how Tha The Carter documentary was a good choice for Friday Night ‘Fro. Enjoy. (Sidenote: I would have more commentary on the actual film, but have yet to watch it in full).

The geek out of the bunch. He is also Jay-Z’s biggest fan. He looks like your cousin from the burbs. He is “Pro Black” (not anti-white, just “Pro Black”). Probably the wittiest out of the bunch. It is said that he got fired from the same job three times.

  1. saw this a few days ago, pretty dope. Weezy getting raped at Birdman’s request at 11 is mad fucked up, but equally funny. I liked it mostly cus my boys always been sayin that Lil Wayne’s gotta have ghostwriters cus he got so much material, obviously not after watching this.

  2. I’ll admit that this was a pretty interesting documentary, probably one of the deepest, most insightful ones that I have seen about Lil Wayne. It was kind of crazy (and sad) in actually seeing his heavy syrup use and his stance about it in regards to the people around him being worried about his health and well-being. Hopefully that shit doesn’t come back to bite him in the ass. The one main thing that I can agree with other peoples’ comments about this documentary is that Wayne indeed does have a strong work ethic. I haven’t really been a faithful follower of his mixtapes like most diehard Wayne fans are, but I can definitely see how he amounts to so much music to release. That’s one thing that I definitely have to respect Wayne for even when his music isn’t at its best all of the time. I didn’t get to view the entire documentary as it cut off after a certain amount of time but I will probably end up picking it up as I always find Hip-Hop/Rap documentaries interesting and a good watch (especially QD3’s work). Good choice for the Friday Night ‘Fro, well worth it.

    Side note: Has anybody seen 50 Cent’s ‘Before I Self Destruct’ movie? He streamed it on his Ustream the other note and it was pretty good considering he wrote and directred the film. We probably wouldn’t be able to get it on a Friday Night ‘Fro but it’s a recommended watch if you enjoyed the ‘Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ movie.

  3. I saw the trailer for this movie, and I was impressed, because it wasn’t like the question and answer, it was the fuck it, follow me around instead. And that’s what a documentary should be about, just following the persons life as they live it, not by a based/ less question(s) I’m considering of buying this and watching it on my laptop.

    1. After watching the movie, I have to say, it was a definitely insightful documentary of some of the life that Lil’ Wayne portrays. It shed the light mostly on his drug problems, and my baseless perception of him. He’s definitely a humble person (most of the time, lol), and isn’t loving drugs, but he’s struggling with them (according to Cortez) He’s also a funny dude, definitely someone I would hang out with. Definitely a good friday fro’ choice, and shows us his damn ass work ethic (portable studio, and I saw some decent freestyles, and the Swagger Like Us takes) (Damn! earlier ones were lame!)
