birdman-lil-wayneLil Wayne and his Young Money Cash Money music group may be one of the most successful rap labels of all time. The label has produced numerous hits over the course of many years, and the New Orleans rapper took his show on the road to see how popular he is abroad. According to missinfo.tv:

“Shortly after wrapping up his America’s Most Wanted Tour with T.I. and 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne kicked off his recently announced European tour with Mac Miller earlier this month. The roadshow rolled through Paris, France on Wednesday night, where he brought out Birdman to perform the Big Tymers classic, “Still Fly,” and Mack Maine for the more recent hit, ‘Tap Out.'”

Wayne is also reportedly currently working on a new album, “The Carter 5,” which may be released as soon as January, according to some reports. He definitely needs to make another smash hit album because these days he’s becoming more known for skateboarding than rapping. However, based on his music’s popularity, Lil Wayne is sure to recapture the spotlight soon.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
