Lil Wayne talks champagne, thanks the haters, goes at hip hop police etc!!

Months after Lil Wayne announced that he would be coming out with a champagne, he has finally come up with the name of it. "I'm headed to France in early Feb to pick my champagne. We got the name for it, it's called D'Orleans. We got the bottle designed all thats left is the taste which is why I am headed to France." says Weezy. With that being said Lil Wayne will also be on his European tour Feb-March which will bring a little dissapointment to his fans as he has decided to push the long awaited album "The Carter 3" back until he returns to the states in April.

D.M.V.

So someone emailed me asking what is the D.M.V. and The D.M.V. Movement??

D.M.V.=D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, one of the most popular but looked over areas in the whole country. I know right, sounds contradicting??
D.C. is so much more than politics and the president. That's just a small part of what we about. Everybody loves to come to D.C. for our gorgeous women and our party scene. We've had our own distinct style forever which out of towners come and use our swag, look, and sound for their own. Stars love it because we treat them as equals and we don't be on no groupie shit. With this being said why do we still have to travel to other states to cop fashion trends that we start, or move to another city to become recognized in the music or modeling industry.

The D.M.V. movement was started to change that and gain more exposure to our city in all aspects of music, fashion, modeling, athletics, etc... I'm proud of the people that have made it their business to get the D.M.V. on the map because this is one of the toughest places to live and succeed because there is no unity. It's like every man for himself, so the few that have made it in the past forget where they got their toughness from and they take their success to another city instead of for ours. But over the past 2 years there have been some people(I won't name names because it's just too many and I don't want to slight anybody of their success. SO feel free to leave a comment for those you see shining in the city) creating a huge buzz for the area and have the rest of the country paying us close attention. Trust me I see yall, and you've got our full support so holla at ya boy. SO DC, MD, VA stand up and support your own, All we got is us. The door is finally cracking and with every body's support we can knock it down. And the rest of the country pay close attention, We're here now and we'd love your support the same way we've supported yall forever.

Love, live life, proceed, progress!!

We already have a remix featuring Brisco and Lil' Boosie."

Full Story

So it's 2008!!!!

What's your new years resolution?? LMAO

If I hear one more "I'm not playing no games in 08", "We getting money in 08" I am going to scream. Why weren't you doing this in 07, 06, 05, etc....
Get with the Nike campaign and "Just Do It" already!! Every year we ask the same question and funny the answers are always the same; "I'm not drinking anymore", "I'm going to save more", "I'm going to lose weight", "I'm going to church more". These are all good things to do but you have to take some action sooner or later. If these are things you want to do then do them. The start of the new year doesn't make it easier.

You are the same person on 1/9/2008 that you were on 12/31/2007. Now yes there are some things that we can all change lets start by setting some goals. More specific set S.M.A.R.T. Goals. What is that you ask:

Specific

Measurable

Attainable

Realistic

Timely

Specific - A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal you must answer the six "W" questions:

*Who: Who is involved?

*What: What do I want to accomplish?,

*Where: Identify a location,

*When: Establish a time frame,

*Which: Identify requirements and constraints,

*Why: Specific reasons for accomplishing the goal

EXAMPLE: A general goal would be, "Get in shape." But a specific goal would say, "Join a health club and workout 3 days a week."

Measurable - Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal.

To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as......How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished?

Attainable - When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals.

You can attain most any goal you set when you plan your steps wisely and establish a time frame that allows you to carry out those steps. Goals that may have seemed far away and out of reach eventually move closer and become attainable, not because your goals shrink, but because you grow and expand to match them. When you list your goals you build your self-image. You see yourself as worthy of these goals, and develop the traits and personality that allow you to possess them.

Realistic - To be realistic, a goal must represent an objective toward which you are both willing and able to work. A goal can be both high and realistic; you are the only one who can decide just how high your goal should be. But be sure that every goal represents substantial progress. A high goal is frequently easier to reach than a low one because a low goal exerts low motivational force. Some of the hardest jobs you ever accomplished actually seem easy simply because they were a labor of love.

Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal.

Timely - A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there's no sense of urgency. If you want to lose 10 lbs, when do you want to lose it by? "Someday" won't work. But if you anchor it within a timeframe, "by May 1st", then you've set your unconscious mind into motion to begin working on the goal.

T can also stand for Tangible - A goal is tangible when you can experience it with one of the senses, that is, taste, touch, smell, sight or hearing. When your goal is tangible you have a better chance of making it specific and measurable and thus attainable.

Now that you've got that part down write them down and post them on your bedroom and bathroom wall, at your desk at work, and give a copy to a good friend that will push you to reach your goals.

Ready, Set, Go!!!! Don't wait til 2009 or before you know it you be 40 still trying to lose 15lbs lmao

And here is the rest of it.
