Say it isn't so...

At the risk of becoming a one-dimensional blog, I've got another rap music posting. But it's only because one of my all-time favorites is in the news:

Yes, Lil' Wayne's been arrested on drug charges. I hope you were sitting down.

I've been a big fan of Lil' Wayne's for several years, and he's finally getting the recognition he deserves of late. This arrest shouldn't hold him back. One of the advantages of a career in hip-hop is that being arrested is a positive thing for your future.

I recently read that Lil' Wayne was taking classes online to get his college degree. When asked why, Lil' Wayne gave a response that I try to quote whenever possible:

"I never wanna die without learnin' shit."- Lil' Wayne (circa 2006)

Maybe this drug arrest will be a lesson. But I certainly hope not.

I promise my next blog will be about a completely different topic: R&B(just kidding)
