Stuntin' WITH your daddy

In case you are unfamiliar with Dwayne "Lil' Wayne AKA Weezy" Michael Carter, he is a slender, petite rapper from New Orleans, and is one of the few 'Nolia project natives not beefing with Cash Money Records. In fact, he is the sort-of adopted son of Brian "Baby/Birdman" Williams, who owns the record label and has made a living rapping about the cocaine trade and selling Lugz boots. Their new duet, "Stuntin' Like My Daddy", is an emotional reflection on the dynamics of their father-son relationship. However, I wonder whether their happy little family isn't just a little screwed up.

On my last visit to the P-N-Dub, I was hanging with the R-uh and we were talking about the best Southern rappers, and after a brief detour in which the R-uh rhapsodized about Juvenile's song "Huh", we got on the topic of the remaining Cash Money Records loyalists. The R-uh opined that Birdman was a stand-up guy, but Lil' Wayne was a scrawny little bitch. I concurred with his assessment of Lil' Wayne, but mentioned that I felt Birdman was less of a "stand-up" guy than a down-low guy.

"Haven't you ever seen that picture of Lil' Wayne and Baby making out?" I asked.

"What picture of them making out?" he responded.

THIS picture of them making out:

Okay, so they're not really making out as much as giving each other a friendly peck...ON THE LIPS. You can see how this is going over with the dudes witnessing this public display of affection, and, judging by the look on the faces of the three onlookers behind them and to their right, it isn't being interpreted as a touching father-son moment. I particularly love the expression of incredulity and disgust the fat man in the white shirt and white headband is sporting; you can almost hear him saying, "Aw, HELL no!" Meanwhile, the guy on the right who looks like a thugged-out cross between Lorenzo Lamas and Rick Fox looks somewhat titillated by the proceedings, swirling his champagne flute and thinking, "Oooo, damn, that's hot."

Although some blog pundits have raised questions about the veracity of this image, G-Unit South rapper Young Buck decried accusations that this picture was Photoshopped, as he eloquently attested in an interview several months ago. Although I don't see Young Buck anywhere in the above photo, he claims he was present and offers his eyewitness account: "I seen that shit go down. I ain't gonna sit here and fuckin' lie...That is just some gay ass shit!"

Correction, Buck. That is some gay ass INCESTOUS shit! It makes me really rethink what the hell these two are actually talking about when they use the word "stuntin'". I used to think it meant to flamboyantly show off one's wealth and station in society by drawing others' attention to one's designer clothes, furs, luxury automobiles, jewelry, and harem of zaftig whores hoping to get promoted to video vixen. Apparently, it might also have something to do with hooking up with your de facto family members. Gross.

As much as I respect "the R-uh"'s assessment of "stand-up guys," I must take issue.

He may be underweight, but Lil Wayne is AWESOME.

Case in point:
"I see she wearing them jeans that show her butt crack / My girls can't wear that – why? That's WHERE MY STASH AT."

A brilliant hiding place, if I do say so.
 
Hiding a stash in one's ass?

Sounds a little gay to me. This furthers my theory that something down-lowish is going on with Weezy...
