Nipsey Hussle recently sat down with Complex and discussed his promising career, the West Coast resurgence and the growing trend of gangbanging in hip hop circles.

When asked specifically about Lil Wayne and Jim Jones, two rappers known to claim ties to Blood affiliates, the South Central representative didn’t bite his tongue.

“If you 35, 28, or 30 years old, and you decide you’re gonna pick up a rag and start bangin’, and you can look yourself in the mirror and you still feel like you’re a man? That’s cool, do your thing,” he said. “My concern is the niggas that are really in the shit. I’m more focused on giving solutions and inspiration more than anything. But to answer your question, I feel like it’s fraudulent. Straight up.”

According to TMZ, Lil Wayne was scheduled to appear in an Arizona courtroom yesterday and missed sentencing for a an old case because he’s uhhh… in jail.

The case stems from a January 2008 arrest, where Wayne and his tour bus were searched for illegal drugs and firearms.

DEA agents found and seized 105 grams of marijuana, 29 grams of cocaine and 41 grams of ecstasy pills and a 40-caliber pistol during the rummage, adding to the New Orleans’ rapper’s laundry list of legal trouble.

Wonder if Dr. Drew will write him a letter once he gets out next year…

Red cups, red shoestrings, red tool boxes and red rags; it’s how you roll when you claim Blood.

Black Wallstreet’s Menace invited notorious Blood gang member/affiliate Mitchy Slick and Lil Wayne (something of a honorary member/affiliate??) to join him in a celebration of everything that is the Blood alliance.

“Blood Niggaz” features verses from all three artists, the most notable coming from Wayne, who has been rumored to be affiliated with the Blood nation for some time.

Interestingly enough, the New Orleans rapper holds no punches, claiming the Blood set with pride and joy, as the three emcees canonize gang life.

Lil Wayne was expected to walk out of a New York courtroom today and into custody to begin a sentence that might last upwards of a year.

Instead, he was pardoned a few more weeks so he could get his tooth fixed. Apparently, the Young Money head honcho is suffering from a cracked tooth and will need up to two weeks to recover.

The original date Wayne’s defense team targeted for him to begin serving his sentence was February 25th, but the judge postponed it to March 2nd.

Wayne was accompanied by his daddy Baby and uncle Slim.

Looks like it was one helluva  pool party… that’s how you go out Weezy! Invite all your folks, party hearty and record until you heart is content.
