Disgraceland is a production of Double Elvis.

The stories about Lil Wayne are insane.

He attempted suicide by shooting himself in the chest when he was just 12 years old.

His stepfather was violently murdered.

He was a child star.

And later, while one of the biggest stars on the planet, he was imprisoned for a year's time.

Lil Wayne was raised on the streets of New Orleans during a point in that city's history

when the murder rates skyrocketed

and neighborhoods were terrorized by kill squads, patrolling Nolo with murder, blazily spray-pated across

gang members' vehicles to leave no doubt to their intentions. Lill Wayne overcame all of that and more

to become one of the most successful hip-hop artists of all time,

an artist with more hits than Elvis, yes Elvis, and an artist that to this day still makes

great music. That music I played for you at the top of the show, that wasn't great music.

That was a preset loop from my Melotron called Coleco Sneak, MK1.

I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to like a G6 by Far East

Movement featuring the cataracts in Dev.

And why would I play you, that specific slice of syserb sippin' cheese, could I afford it?

Because that was the number one song in America on November 4th, 2010.

And that was the day Lil Wayne was released from Rikers Island Prison for gun charges,

proving once again the Little Wayne cannot be counted out.

On this episode, an attempted suicide, a violent murder, a year in Rikers, and the irrepressible Little Wayne.

I'm Hip-hop Feehano and Lil Wayne was glued to his television set.
