Remember last year, around the time Lil Wayne was convincing his recording artist Nicki Minaj to stand up 80,000 people at MetLife? Remember how he said he hated New York? Well, maybe he does hate us because I've seen everybody and never seen Lil Wayne because he never plays in town.
And here he goes on tour again in support of his predictably if I Am Not a Human Being 2 and guess what? There he goes again, passing Manhattan by and playing the fringes. take a look.

Jone's Beach on one side, PNC on the other but where the hell is nyc? No Barclay, no MSG, no Prudential. The triumvirate of arena's close enough to be covered by nyc kids are not represented. neither is Nassau coliseum but I wouldn't go there anyway. neither is IZOD. Lessee here, Lil Wayne put together a huge tour and yet again ignored the media center of the Universe. What's that about? Incidentally, the rule of thumb is you announce five borough dates late because people hold out for them. But there aren't enough off dates, he is giving us the miss.
I believe him, I believe the man thinks we are arrogant no nothings and he isn't gonna kow tow to us. And me? I believe I am not going to Jones Beach or PNC to check him out. Incidentally, Drake pulled the same thing when he toured last year. Drake, who, ps, records for Lil Wayne, also did the same tour and skipped us.
