Ain't his birthday but he's got his name on the cake...

I really hope Lil Wayne wins Album of the Year.

His interview in GQ last month was simultaneously derisive, prolific, reserved, normal and bizarre. On the scene right now, there is no other greater rock star.

And I mean rock star. This guy gets high off cold syrup and weed (at the same time!!). He's got a bazillion tattoos. His album this year was sick.

He fucking thinks he's from Mars!

I mean, Lil Wayne is larger than life, and damnit, that's how I want my rock stars. Fuck these panty waist Jonas Brothers (don't want no chastity) or whatever else.

If you're not liking Lil Wayne, you should.

So yeah, this blog is devoted to indie rock, and blah blah blah.

But damnit this is my blog.

And Lil Wayne is kinda indie rock. I mean, he does drop like a billion mixtape eps every year.

And The Roots and ?uestlove are about as indie as you get on mainstream hiphop.

So yeah. Check out this live version of Lil Wayne's 'A Milli' with /uestlove doing the chorus (and playing the drums!!!! WHAT???!!)

Get Now - The Roots ft. Lil Wayne, 'A Milli, Live in Miami 10/8/08'
