Lil Wayne Denied Free Courtside Seats by OKC Thunder


Big-time celebrities are accustomed to getting whatever they want, and often expect not to pay for such things. Lil Wayne, however, asked for a little too much last night, as he was denied free entry into Game 3 of the San Antonio Spurs/OKC Thunder WCF series. Per the AP: “Thunder spokesman Dan Mahoney says Lil Wayne’s representatives did contact the team requesting tickets but insisted that he sit on the front row, and none of those seats was available. Oklahoma City sold out every home game during the regular season and playoffs this season. Mahoney says: ‘We’d love to have him at a game, but like anyone else, he needs a ticket.’”

    The only good consistent cats from the North are Jada, Fab and Nas, the rest are average or just downright garbage. Northern cats are always complaining about down-south rap when they were to first ones to kill the game with all that harlem shake and chicken noodle crap.

    Nobody killed the game. The game been the game forever.
    That’s what I don’t understand. Even when people talk about rap’s Golden Age they aren’t even discussing the time when political lyrics were mainstream.
    They are talking about after that phase. Go back and listen to “Express Yourself” on Straight Outta Compton. Dre gives the blueprint for all rap in his verse. Truest thing ever written.

    Allenp: Handle white folks? You guys allow Confederate flags being flown in your faces on a regular bases. The same Dixicrats who ran the south are now the Republicans who are running the south now. These are very people whose conservative policies are so anti-progressive you can literally drive through the south and forget what decade you’re in depending on where you go. Way to “handle” those white folks, guys. I’d gladly pay a grip for where I live than to pay cheaply in a place I’d be miserable. The illusion that having a bunch of open spaces is equal to freedom is still prevalent, as evidenced by your comment. Being able to more articulately express frustration at American urban living doesn’t make one a hater. I make no apologies for being a through and through New Yorker. I don’t even make apologies for the garbage music that comes out of NY sometimes. As much as people hate on us, they pay more attention to what we’re doing than pretty much anywhere else. People in general are critical of anything they feel is native to their region, city, or even generation. I don’t care if it’s artistic like music or fashion, or culinary like wine and food, even athletics. That’s the way things are. When I read comments from dudes like you it reminds me of how sensitive people are.

    Taylor, I don’t defend stupidity but Chicken Noodle Soup was a teenage girl making a dance for kids. The South has plenty of shuck and jive dances to talk about so that’s irrelevant. I just think that every generation is going to be stuck in the golden age of their era. Region has a lot less to do with it than age does.

    Suede, I not saying that the South doesn’t have it’s share of dancing BS but Northern cats love to act like the south were the only ones to capitalize off that dancing craze. Don’t forget about the west with their tight-jeans, cat-daddying crowd.
    Okay…maybe the game isn’t dead but it’s not as good as it used to be say..5-10yrs ago.

    Ehhh, I’m not really into dancing but it’s been part of hip-hop culture in general since the beginning. From break dancing to whatever these kids think is cool now. Most of the ish looks stupid to me but I feel like if I were born in 1990 or the late 80′s I might not think so. I guess my pops thought the same when he was doing the hustle and me and my crew were doing the running man.

    Man, once that dance craze hit everyone and they mama wanted to capitalize off of it. Like I said, it all became a formula that people bit off of to make money. In doing that the music itself suffered and lost it’s essence (the art of MCing). Doesn’t matter who started it or why, but that’s when the game got that much softer. Speaking of golden ages, I wonder if today’s youth consider this a golden age. Does that make Weezy a Tupac? Drake a Nas? Ross a Biggie? Baby a Diddy? I feel bad for this generation if that’s the case. And the tight jean craze needs to really die. Don’t these rappers know that the dude that made that popular is a gay stylist that began that look with a boy band from the Disney channel in like ’05 or something? It’s cool if you don’t wanna wear baggy, but just wear jeans that don’t show the exact change you have in your pockets. Weezy took it to ANOTHER level with the leopard print spandex, teddybears on his sneakers and all kinds of other atrocities that should’ve been got his hood pass REVOKED.

    I’m sorry but Wayne got better when he started listening to more BIG and Jay. He started playing w/ words more. His wardrobe changed when he started f*ck*n wit Dipset, even though he eventually went over the deep end. and startin lookin crazy. I remember when dude started steppin his rhyme game up he was quoting Jay lines in interviews and sh*t. Gillie the Kid, formerly of Major Figgas, used to help him write around that time. He had a period where he was actually nice, but don’t act like dude reinvented himself by himself. Y’all got selective memory.

    WHAT??? WHAT!!

  • ai come back

    HIP HOP IS DEAD but kendrick lamar and jay cole are tryin to revive it …..all the guys who were good before cash money took over mainstream (kanye jay em etc.) are still good but to me theyre on a different plane of hip hop right now

    GOT DAMN, thank you Speak. The shift in Wayne’s talents was AS-STRO-NOMICAL. The dipset theory was my own, but he couldn’t have possibly made that shift alone. To fall off that hard… to go from a song like the doctor song from Carter 3 (can’t remember the name) to the purest trash ever spit that he does now (he pulled a gun out and shot himself on that Pusha T diss.. again) is pure proof that something fishy was up when he was ‘on top’.

    JTaylor; we equally wrote on SLAM about how that hammock/samwich line may have been one of the dopest lines we’ve ever heard. To be hustling backwards THIS HARD? Naa.

  • Jane

    Throw his little arse out! We don’t need him.

  • Pusha T

    Oh no! Lil Wayne ain’t happy with OKC!! Whatevah shall we do???

    Actually I dint no he still alive. Useless.
