Hello World

I haven’t checked in as of late, but just wanted to remind my fans that I love & appreciate you so much. I’ve been busy with preparing for the second leg of the tour & Carter IV. Summer Jam this weekend was great, and here are some of my personal pictures I wanted to share with you.

Hello World! Are you ready for some football?

Hello World! Check out some photos of me filming the “6 Foot, 7 Foot” music video in Miami.  I have a few costume changes in the video, very different from videos you’ve seen me do. Can’t wait for everyone to see the video.

Hello World! I’m on my third Rolling Stone cover. The magazine hits newsstands January 21st! Here are some excerpts:

On Gambling For Commisary:

“I’d bust a nigga’s ass at Uno,” he told writer Josh Eells. “We gamble for phone time. I’d take nigga’s commissary: Lemme get them cookies, lemme get them chips, get that soup.”

On LeBron James and Dwayne Wade

When Wayne sat court-side at a recent Miami Heat/New Orleans Hornets game he was upset that Lebron James and Dwayne Wade never came over to talk to him. “Them niggas never speak to a nigga,” he says. “They don’t chuck me the deuce or nothing. Nigga spent all that money on them fucking tickets… Come holla at me. We sit right by them little bitch-ass niggas. At least come ask me why I’m not rooting for you.”

On Solitary Confidment

He spent his final month in jail in solitary after he was caught with an iPod charger in his cell. It could have been worse: He also had a watch with an MP3 player on it, but another inmate took the rap. “He was a solid nigga,” says Wayne. “Shout-out to Charles…Solitary was the worst. No TV. No radio. No commissary. Basically you’re in there 23 hours a day.” The only upside was he had a window where he could watch cars go by. “I used to sit at that motherfucker all day,” he says.

New Reading Material

In prison he read biographies of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Marvin Gaye, Joan Jett, Vince Lombardi and Anthony Kiedis. “[Kiedis'] Scar Tissue was really good,” he says. “I also read the Bible for the first time. It was deep! I liked the parts where some character was once this, but he ended up being that. Like he’d be dissing Jesus, and then he ends up being a saint. That was cool.”

Hello world! I am giving away my personal Dunkees custom skateboard to one lucky fan. My skateboard will be signed and it’ll come in a Young Money swag bag that concludes of CDs, t-shirts and more… but hold on right there! You must complete the following in order to win:

Hello World & Fellow Martians! I hope you enjoyed my Saturday Night Live performance. I can’t describe what it felt like being back in my element. I wanted to share some behind the scenes photos from my Rolling Stone photo shoot. The shoot was in Miami two weeks ago and just being able to do this type of stuff again is therapeutic.  Be sure to pick up the issue when it hits stands. Thank you to the people at Rolling Stone for the opportunity.

PS.

Thank you for making 6 foot 7 foot #1 on itunes, you will continue to be #1 in my heart.
