Best Rapper Alive pleads guilty to weapon charges, faces jail, breaks our hearts.

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., aka Lil Wayne, aka Weezy F. Baby has pleaded guilty to attempted weapons possession over a gun found on his tour bus in 2007, and faces a year in jail once sentenced. Apparently police officers smelled and saw marijuana smoke coming from Weezy’s tour bus as he left a concert venue, and police say that when an officer approached, Weezy threw away a Louis Vuitton bag containing a .40 caliber semi-automatic.

The Associated Press reports that when the judge warned yesterday that he wouldn’t be able to withdraw his guilty plea like some people try to do, Weezy replied, “I’m not one of those people.” Bad boys, you make us feel so good.

A lot of Lil Wayne’s appeal is that he’s so fuckin’ bad. His first daughter Reginae was born when he was only 15, and singer Nivea is currently expecting Weezy’s fourth child. He was addicted to sizzurp for a while (aka purple drank, aka codeine cough syrup) and has been arrested before on drug possession charges, because while he may have laid off the cough syrup, he is definitely still chronic.

My favourite Lil Wayne quote is from a 2007 interview where he described his lifestyle: “This is not a pace, this is how I live. I wake up, smoke weed, fuck bitches, get my dick sucked – a lot – drink my drink and come here and do this shit. What am I supposed to do, take a vacation?” I’m truly sorry to see that he got his vacation.

Weezy is out on bail until February 2010, when he will face sentencing. We can probably expect an album drop before then. In the meantime, we’re listening to the old mix tapes and seriously considering dressing up as Weezy jail bait for Hallowe’en.
