Lil Wayne Makes Live "Rock" Debut On AT&T's Facebook Page
This week has already brought us very special information: Weezy is going rock, and that his idea of "rock" is Linkin Park, and that it will sound like this. Even if you didn't before, now you know that. You can't un-know any of it. Welcome to the party. To continue adding to that wellspring of awesome, AT&T has a Facebook page and and wants you to be their friend, and are apparently all about streaming concerts, like the one at which Lil Wayne made the concert debut of his rocker "Prom Queen." As per his stop at SNL Wayne's rocking his stage prop guitar which he proceeds to tap like you've never seen.
Hear that noise, Marnie Stern? It's Weezy coming up behind you with a plate full of embarrassment. AT&T customers can get "Prom Queen": The Ringtone or "Prom Queen": The Full Track by texting "Wayne" to 7317, or by getting it online and then enjoy hours of people smacking your AT&T phone out of your hand because why would you do that to us.

I've never had anything agianst Lil Wayne personally, but seriously, this shit needs to stop immediately.
Score = 34
Second that!
Score = 0
I think we have a contender for the only album to better than Animal Collective's! Seriously, do you guys realize that biggest of Lil Wayne's status we are gonna be subjected to his rock album every where we go for the next year. Shit!
Score = -4
Must Animal Collective be brought up all the fucking time?!
Score = 34
I really hope he doesn't collaborate with Radiohead at the the Grammys.
Score = 6
i KNOW thom isnt dumb enough to allow that to happen
Score = 1
Can we all please collectively be over Lil' Wayne now? Please?
Score = 18
Well, at least the guy is ripped?
Score = 4
Lil Wayne is such a dumbass. Always has been, but this makes it official.
Score = 9
As much as I hate this, it's still hilarious to see him get paid for this garbage.
Score = 4
Right, especially during these booming economic times.
Score = 11
Cheer up, Charlie.
Score = 0
Just like fake rap by white people needs to stop, rappers thinking they can sing/rock needs to stop
Score = 11
i hope he's happy with himself. jesus.
Score = 2
As a big Weezy fan, I thought it was hilarious when he first started playing the guitar and immediately became the worst guitar player of all-time... but now? It's just sad. This song is sad- this whole side project of his is sad. You're already the best rapper in the world, Wayne. Stick with that.
Score = 6
Best rapper in the world dude? Your knowledge of current hip hop must be extremely limited if you really believe that.
Score = -2
He is the best rapper alive so go suck a dick bitch stop hatin. Some people have bad days but he still is and will always be the BEST RAPPER ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Score = 0
Are there any Body Count fans here?
Score = 12
Am I the only one who hopes this ruins him? Alright, I get it, people love Tha Carter III, but he probably won't be able to top that so he should just stop making music now. Forever. Especially what he considers "rock." It really is just sad.
Score = 9
Why does he hold the guitar like an AK-47?
This is a fucking train wreck and I love it.
Score = 9
He is just so awkward with the guitar and i could barely hear him playing it at all. But let's not forget how awful the vocals were as well.
Score = 8
this is fucking rediculous
Score = 2
I liked the carter III because it made me laugh and feel like a gangster, but this is fucking ridiculous, who gave this guy creative control? He looks really silly pretending to play the guitar. I can see a Chad Kroeger feature in the near future.
Score = 5
Somehow, I am reminded of Brian Wilson's rap song from the '80s. http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/DG/brianwilson_smartgirls.mp3
Score = 2
Best guitar solo of 2009?
Score = 14
I think he's gonna be huge, you guys.
Score = 4
This is music to my ears! And I'm talking about the backlash not the actual song, cause that sh-t sucks majorly. Wayne has been a horrible artist since '97, and somehow convinced the blogosphere that he was actually good last year. I'm glad you are realizing how moronic his music is.
Score = 4
Everyone is quick to hate on the best rapper alive. This isn't good but I'm sure some of the this album will be decent. All you indie fucks just hear the carter trilogy not dedication mixtapes or the drought/drought is over tapes, which are the best things to happen to hiphop in a minute. Stop that hatin' on a nigga, it is a weak emotion.
Score = -16
Actually, some "indie fucks" are from the NO area, and have been tired of Wayne's antics since he first popped up at age 16. Some "indie fucks" have even been following Cash Money's output since day 1 (and have the whole collection of Rap Snacks in their home). Don't be so quick to assume a group of predominantly white people don't know anything about Hip Hop. It makes you look a little racist.
Also I'd like to run a test: Who's the second-best rapper alive? I'd like to know what "great" rappers Wayne is supposedly better than according to his fans.
Score = 14
First off wayne has consistently changed his sound since entering the game, i.e. this rock album. Secondly how does race come into play at all. I'm just pointing out the fact that all these skinny jean wearing, converse sporting, Indie kids that only listen to radiohead are quick to judge a rapper that puts out something new every month. There isn't another rapper or artist that works as hard as he does. Doesn't matter if you like it or not, don't hate, appreciate.
Score = -16

While I have to admit that you're absolutely correct in certain ways, you're just digging the hole deeper and deeper.
Why do you assume everyone here is a "converse sporting" indie kid? I'll admit that a lot of people around here *may* wear Cons (although I don't, nor do my friends; it's not 1989 anymore after all).
Maybe a majority of kids just know Wayne's newest stuff and jumped on the bandwagon, but that doesn't mean you should paint everyone who's into "indie" music with the same brush. Some people just actually like the music, regardless of how street they are. Hell, I grew up just outside of New Orleans with Cash Money at every party I went to during and after high school, but I still think Animal Collective/FleetFoxes/FuckedUp are great bands.
It's just music. It's notes--vibrations in the air--it seems silly to draw ridiculous divisions that exclude people for being "johnny come latelies", meanwhile they still honestly love the music. Why hold that against someone?
But I take back the "a little racist" quote, I was just being over the top. Maybe I'm just angry because I had to put up with a 40+ year old woman complaining about the Hip Hop I was playing while DJ'ing last night.
::cheers:: Tip back a shot for Hip Hop fans everywhere.
Score = 5
i'm just trying to point out the fact that the majority of people on this site listen to mainly indie rock. All they've heard is the carter III, which was a disappointment. Being that this is all they've been introduced to, they need to dig a little deeper and here his better music before they say he sucks or he is a piece of shit.
Score = -8
Huph won.
Onward.
Score = 6
"best rapper alive for sure!! yet looks like he'll be putting out a great contender for worst album of 2009. stick to what your good at lil wayne

In other words - the hate's not for the man (altho some aren't that evolved) - it's for this sad excuse for a rock song.
I blame Kanye.
Score = 0
Someone really needs to post something backing up that "best rapper ever" claim that we keep reading. Seriously. Point us in the direction of one of his crowning achievements. And I don't mean "Lollipop".
Score = 7
listen to dedication 1 or 2. Any of the droughts or the drought is over mixtapes. Like i stated.
Score = -6
The day that Rakim and KRS-One die, then someone else can claim the "best rapper alive" crown. Until then these lil' youngsters are just contenders for runner-up.
Score = 3
This fuckery brought upon us by cud Kevin Rudolf no doubt.
Score = 1
This is dumb. Let the man make a rock album if he wants to. For fucks sake.
Score = 3
Someone's let all that Guitar Hero-playing go to their head!
Score = 7
first off, pants around your ass means you wanna get some in the shower in prison. 2nd.. you can't even hear the Lil guys guitar, what is he trying to prove? it's like Tiger Woods playing for the Yankees cuz he's good at golf.
Score = 1
"I am the Mike Jordan of recording"

Score = 11
AHhh it hurts that he was playing a nicer guitar than mine.
Score = 5
after listening twice i still can't hear him playing guitar so i cant tell how he sounds.
i was very faintly hearing something, and it was cool, but im not sure if that was him or if i was just imagining things.
you guys can hear something? i can hear the one loud guitar at 1:55 but that's definitely not lil wayne.
Score = 1
This makes Andre 3000's crossover from rap all the more impressive.
Score = 3
I'm going to throw up.
Thank good you can barely hear his guitar.
Score = 2
that's probably one of the worst things i have EVER seen.
Score = 3
best rapper alive for sure!! yet looks like he'll be putting out a great contender for worst album of 2009. stick to what your good at lil wayne
Score = 2
He needs to keep rappin 'cause he sure is'nt doing rock any justice at all !
Score = 1
Hopefully he's just joshin us all and his "rock" album turns out to be some bad ass Bad Brains inspired hardcore punk.
Hey, a man can dream.
Score = 1
I just can't understand, how his record company lets him put this out as a track in an actual album. not a b-side, not an ep, not a single, but an actual album. and as a single non the less.
I understand the concept of full creative control, but... well... yeah.
Score = 1
And you know the worst part of this all is the fact that it will be successful, just because it's lil wayne.
Ugh I hate everybody who buys garbage like this.
Score = 1
lil wayne = consummate douchebag of the universe
Score = 2
Lil' Wayne is slowly turning into a black Kid Rock.

Wow, I guess people should not try and expand creatively, we should always just stick to one thing our whole lives. 4 something that he's just started it's honestly not that bad.
Score = -2
This dude is so fake. Yes, Weezy is farce, a marketing scheme thought up by corporate music suits. Weezy could never be a rock musician. HE CANT EVEN PLAY GUITAR!! no one can say "hey i wanna be a rock star" ,and then learn an easy guitar trick and Then.. fuck that up. Weezy, you suck. and you're just another disappointing music "icon"
