DETROIT (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama has announced today that hip-hop artist Lil Wayne will have a guest spot on his inauguration address when he is sworn into the presidency on January 20, 2009.
“It wasn’t really my decision,” Obama explains. “There’s just something about Lil Wayne. No matter what you’re doing, he’s always there to chime in.”
Lil Wayne, the stage persona of famed African-American white supremacist Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., has been making a name for himself in the hip-hop scene over the last few years, despite never releasing his own album. He has appeared as a guest on over ten-thousand hip-hop tracks to date.
“You just don’t understand how he works,” fellow hip-hop artist T.I. states. “I was recording Paper Trail, right? Swagga Like Us? Halfway through the track, Kanye [West] cuts me off and tells me that Lil Wayne is wandering around the recording studio. I’m like ‘Shit, shit, shit!’ We tried wrapping it up real quick but it was too late. Lil Wayne wanders into the room and is just like ‘Sup?’ Next thing I know, he’s on the song! All my vocals were cut, it was just him! I think he might’ve been on the album more than me."
The hip-hop community has been outraged over the sudden appearance of Lil Wayne on every hip-hop single released in the last year.
“He’s like a virus,” hip-hop fan Antwon LaFontaine says. “He just keeps spreading and spreading, stopping at nothing. It’s incurable. There’s really no hope.”
Lil Wayne was reached for an interview, but nobody could understand what the fuck he was saying.
