Lil Wayne teams up with Shakira for her latest single “Give It Up To Me.”

Lil Wayne x The Carter. After a series of clips from the film we finally have the full-length trailer for the upcoming straight-to-DVD Lil Wayne documentary “The Carter.” Film hasn’t been without its controversy but is receiving its fair amount of buzz. Movie will be available starting November 17th.

Wayne graces the cover of this coming month’s issue of Billboard Magazine. Loving the spike vest…looks straight out of The Warriors.

Chris redeems himself to some point with this video. Hate to compliment the guy but this is pretty creative. Optimus Prime would be proud.

Wayne’s next mixtape drops right in time for Halloween. Check the trailer for it. We just love how everything has a trailer / sneak peek / exclusive look to it these days. Marketing at its finest.

Lil Wayne x The Carter Doc. A couple months back production company QD3 and Lil Wayne battled it out in court since Wayne felt this long-awaited documentary did not portray him the correct way. He should be happy this doc was final well before these gun charges came about. At least there will be no footage of him in jail. Here is the latest trailer that just released. Via: NahRight

The Weinstein Company, the studio home of Lil Wayne and Bow Wow’s Post-Katrina basketball film Hurricane Season, has just announced their 2009 – 2010 film slate. Unfortunately for those involved in making Hurricane Season and those Wayne fans hoping to get a glimpse of him playing a punk high school kid, the movie has been dropped from the schedule…again. Many involved with the film were optimistic that it would get a proper release but due to major financial issues facing the Weinstein Company including recent layoffs, the film has been shelved indefinitely. In a recent interview with the Times Picayune – New Orleans, Hurricane Season producer Raymond Brothers still hopes for the best.

“We’re very grateful to the Weinstein Co. and (sister company) Dimension for making the movie in New Orleans — we spent $50 million in New Orleans. The movie tested extremely well, and we’re very hopeful that in a very short period of time we’ll come to some resolution about the release date.”

Considering the multi-million dollar budget, urban appeal with Lil Wayne and Bow Wow and major star appeal with Forest Whitaker, one hopes this movie will not get the dreaded straight-to-DVD treatment. Some Wayne fan out there needs to start a petition and get this movie in theaters.

A case of the rich getting richer. For his 27th birthday Birdman gives Lil Wayne a $1,000,000 Chopard watch…AND…Birdman even tattoos Wayne’s birthday on his arm. Chopard only has a handful of these million dollar watches in existence as they are made of Ashoka Diamonds…which I assume are valuable. I guess if my friend made me millions and millions I might tattoo his name on my arm too. But I’d probably get him a G-Shock and call it a day. Check the vid…

According to the official Nike press release:

“To pump up athletes before the game, Nike partners Island Def Jam, Universal Motown, and Interscope Records remixed some of today’s biggest hip-hop tracks with our elite NFL players to create Game Day Remixes. Every Thursday, the songs will be available for limited download on www.nikefootball.com and its available on www.itunes.com. Songs will include “Always Strapped (Nike Sport Remix)” featuring Birdman, Lil Wayne and Adrian Peterson, and “Ain’t I (Nike Sport Remix)” featuring Yung LA, T.I., Young Dro and Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson plus more to come.”

Check out the song at the official Nike Football site. The song isn’t bad…after AP’s 3 TD performance yesterday and some nice flows on this track is there anything the Vikings’ RB can’t do?

Lil Wayne x Hurricane Season. Back in June we exclusively reported that Hurricane Season, the basketball film starring Bow Wow, Forest Whitaker and Lil Wayne was being shelved by the Weinstein Company because the film studio could not afford to market and distribute it. At that time, The Weinstein’s were facing dire financial hardship and had invested a big part of their theatrical marketing spend in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards. If Tarantino’s film failed, films like Hurricane Season would go from shelved to sold off in a matter of months….luckily for the studio, Inglorious Bastards will turn a profit as it already has grossed over $140 million world-wide and cost $70 million to make.

So what does this mean for Hurricane Season? It means The Weinsteins will have replenished funds to release and market a select few of their upcoming titles and we have the exclusive drop that Hurricane Season is one of them that will be resurrected. In other words you, yes you, will have the opportunity to watch Lil Wayne play a seventeen year old high school student who hates his school’s basketball team AND you will get to see Bow Wow play a star player on the team. Now that is definitely worth the wait…and the $12 ticket.
