An unlikely partnership between America’s biggest hip-hop star and America’s largest phone company has now been formed. Lil Wayne and AT&T will work together to launch Wayne’s next album “Rebirth” which will show Wayne’s rock music side. As part of the promotional deal, AT&T will exclusively show a Wayne concert in San Diego, which will be streamed live on AT&T’s FREEdom of Choice and Mobile Music Facebook pages at 9:40 p.m. PST on Jan. 28.
According to Billboard, the ringtone to his first single off the album “Prom Queen” will be available to AT&T customers for purchase via text or through the AT&T Media Mall from handsets or online. This exclusive offer will run through Feb. 2. AT&T customers can also download the full track via text.
In a bitter fight for the mobile market, the previously conservative phone company has become more aggressive in targeting the urban community. Ludacris signed a lucarative muli-million dollar promotional deal with AT&T last year although the ad campaign has yet to fully launch. Wayne’s wide-spread popularity was a huge draw for AT&T execs who overlooked his shady past in hopes of drawing in new customers. Props to InMyStateofMind for the heads up.
This is definitely a big hit for the younger crowd. Not sure I'd waste what little cash I have on this bum. Why doesn't AT&T do deals with talented MCs? And really, who's gonna remember Lil wayne 10 years from now?
Not going to remember Wayne in 10 years? You smokin crack Corey? He tha biggest hiphop act to come out in 10 years so it dont matter if u like him or not.

I liked the other picture with his mouth gagged. lol
I bet you anything Wayne does not use AT&T
John T, you're definitely living in a glass box man. You'd have to be crazy to tell me that Lil Wayne is the nicest MC out there right now. He's horrible. I receive more talented mcs (unsigned &independent) tracks everyday and these guys would eat his lunch. Trust me, Lil Wayne is slowing slipping into oblivion. The only time I can say I was half-way diggin' his style was when he did that “Hot Boys” track with Juve, Baby, Mannie. But you got to remember, Lil Wayne didn't write his rhymes for a while. It was that dude from Phillie, GIllie Da Kid that was his ghost writer. When they fell off, Lil Wayne's rhymes went in the dumpster. Trust me, listen to his rhymes like 6 years ago and listen to him now. Now, the only way Weezy thinks he can stay relevant is by doing volume. That is millions of mixtapes (horrible), lots of Advertisement deals (like this one), and just getting in trouble. Think about it…
And for one thing, he needs to stop lying to these kids. He's not an O.G. He's not hard. He's selling a faltering product. I get sick of the fades that all these artists jump on nowadays. I really hate those behind the scenes, or a day in the life concepts that everyone is using via Youtube and other mediums. If you're an artist reading this, please be original…….ORIGINAL!!!
By law he has to own the product he endorses. He can just have it, use it once, and then leave it in a drawer. A lot of celebrities do this.
Corey F…you're the one in a glass box. what other hip hop/rap artist is selling more albums than Wayne? Who do every other artist go to for a collaboration on their track to make it hot and sell…Wayne…Just because you don't like his music doesn't mean that he's not talented…you are entitled to your opinion…and that's all it is..your opinion. The dollars speak louder than your words. There may be others that will become hotter than him one day..but where are they now. Exactly
Stop hating on other people's success.
Don't bother replying, cause what you say doesn't matter.
Peace.
Curious – what MCs you diggin now Corey? Im impartial to Wayne – dont hate em dont love em. But curious who you listen to
@ Keep it Real – You can't base skillz on records sells. These disillusioned youth like yourself think “chicken noodle soup” and Soulja boy are hot. He's not hot right now. The media and mainstream pick who's hot. Could he win a battle in a Cypha with Mos Def…Raekwon…Talib…Saafir…Planet Asia? I think not they'd eat his lunch. You can't base anything on dollars KIR. You're argument is hella wack. You're just another brainwashed dude who's been duped into thinking Lil' Wayne is actually talented. Since you see he him so much in the media you automatically assume him to be hot. I get material from Indie/unsigned artist everyday that are 300 % nicer. The only thing is, they're not Over-Blown and Over-Hyped. You probably wear tight pants, rock a mohawk. You sound like a clone.
@ Azziz. I'm listening to everything except what's in the mainstream. I get a lot of material everyday that's actually well thought out. Unlike Keep It Real, I don't watch 106 & Park for the latest hip hop. I get raw stuff everyday. So to answer your question, who I listen to changes from Day to Day.
Ok so I checked your site out and it is very “Raw” in regards to the music. I see you tend to stay away from the mainstream which is your angle. So now I'm really asking because I'm interested and tired of the mainstream. So who are some of the artists you are currently listening to?
Write me up at hiphopruckus2007@yahoo.com. My listening list is so big that it's crazy. It's also comprehensive.
Weezy is da shit. Take it or leave bros. He will still be huge in 10 years
U wait! Hey yall go hate somewhere else. Leave at&t and weezy alone

(:
Corey i don't care if you respond with a paragraph with tons of statistics on how you are so called “Correct”. in the end your still a pussy.
Corey, your a moron. Obviously he's good if he's making millions more than the average rapper. Just because you think he is lacking in skills or he isn't 'hard' as you put it, he's still on top. Face it.
Understand this wayne is is talented. wayne is the best rapper doing it right now. it matters what he sells. why people buy his shit if he not good? tell me that one. Waynr hard wayne got everything it takes. all you need is money and it makes the world for round. so ya gotta give him props. fa sho. suwuw. im out
