Fans disappointed by Lil Wayne no-show

Yea a real credit to society. Come on I know somebody has an excuse for him.

Don't worry...he won't read your post. That's a given.

WELL FOR ONE MY DAD HAD A CADDY AND MONEY AND OTHER CARS WAY B4 THIS LIL WAYNE CONCERT VEN JUMPED OFF....SO YOU CAN STOP HATING HONEY =] AND IF YOU THAT WORRIED ABOUT HIS CHILD SUPPORT HOW ABOUT YOU GO TRY AND PAY SOME OF IT OFF FOR HIM!

last i checked stan-da-man had a nice caddy before the concert. so stop hatin. on my peeps

YOUR RIGHT BUBBA GUMP...cause they would have most likely played for a crowd of 100, because that is the RIGHT thing to do. Little WayneR doesn't know what the RIGHT thing to do is, OBVIOUSLY. Your fans are what matters, but not to this gangsta...GLAD he didn't play, poison for todays youth.

if he was white...thats b.s he stiffed his fans

And here we have it ladies and gentleman, the race card has been played...this "lil wayne is a scumbag gang member punk....he should be banned from even coming into North Carolina at all.

Yeah Right.... Well one thing is for sure, us white people don't have singers out here singing about drive bys, rape, etc... Go stand on the street corner with all of your little thug lifes, get your government check and enjoy your life.. SHut Up Thug Life...Wanna Be...

If he was white there probably would have been no threat of gang bangers with guns, drugs & violence either. If he was not an admitted gang member with multiple drug arrests there would have been no C-O-N-T-R-O-V-E-R-S-Y TO start with. Lil Duh- Wayne brought all of this on himself for being a thug, thats NOT our fault. There are a lot of rappers that are decent people. Dumb azz Wayne should market himself in a good way by being a decent human being.

If you didn't spend all your time listening to lil wank, you might be able to spell a tad better. Or you could just blame whitey for holding your spelling book down. They both seem to work these days.

FIRST OFF LET ME CLARIFY THAT WAYNE AND ANY OTHER ARTIST ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BOOKING THERE OWN SHOWS THE PEOPLE THAT PAY THEM MONEY TO COME AND PERFORM ARE CALLED PROMOTERS THERE JOB IS TO SHOW UP AND SING THATS IT...THEY HAVE NO SAY IN WHERE A CONCERT IS HELD, HOW MUCH THE TICKETS COST, WHAT TIME IT STARTS NONE OF THAT. an easy way to think of it where every1 should be able to understand is like hiring a magician for a kids birthday party, your throwing a party for your kid you want a magician you go in the phonebook pick one out all they do is show up an do their magic they aren't responsible for any other aspect of the party but if he shows up an you dont pay him he isn't gonna do his act now is he... same thing with concerts! the blame lies on the promoter for the show...im not sure many of you understand how putting a concert together works but im a venue promoter in Chicago. 1st off wayne is a busy man who is on tour right now. a promoter calls him an wants to put on a show, he charges 30,000 to do an appearance. wayne dont care if its for 1 person or 1 million people his price is 30,000. its the promoters job to give him that money usually half upfront when the arrangement is made an the other half before the show. now this promoters job is to secure a location, advertise, promote hence the title promoter... and provide necessary incidentals example: security, hotel accomodations etc. promoters have the opportunity to make alot of money putting on a good concert, let me break it down 30,000 wayne 5,000 venue 10,000 promotional items advertising fliers printing tickets etc ruffly 45,000 total in turn, he sells tickets for however much, i saw a lady spent 150 for 2 tickets so he charged 75 bucks a ticket multiply by the 2500 that someone claims were sold an you have over 180,000 potential income a profit of over 140 now if wayne would have went along an did the show without gettin his money whoever the promoter was woulda pocketed all that money so somethin ain't right with this story, the promoter couldn't have sold out the tickets he was probably trying to sell them at the door not in advance (armature move) or he did a real shitty job of advertising cause he didnt pay wayne his money wayne stopped what he was doin made a detour in his BUSY schedule an traveled to this city *that cost him money* than he supposed to get on stage an perform for free yeah right! blame that foul promoter not wayne

Both "ILM" and "Actually There" have it right. This is the way productions work. What I'd like to add is that Hip Hop is a form of musical expression like it or not. It has a wide following and is a boom for the music industry. Banning it, censoring it or limiting its content is nothing more than Big Brother control. Maybe that radical Beethoven should be censored too. Doesn't anyone remember the preachers burning Rock records in the late 60's? Or John Denver and Frank Zappa going heads up against Tipper Gore and the United States Senate? IT'S JUST WORDS FOLKS. Gang activity may be fueled by music and style but the root cause is the way Americans are being pushed down. In case anyone hasn't noticed, all but a very few good blue collar jobs are left because of Corporate America. Lots of these people who follow Hip Hop see no future. Their answer is to rebel. Heck, the gang lifestyle treats these people better than a most blue collar options available. Get a life if you think they can afford college. If you want this to stop, go up against free trade and globalization. You'll make a difference. Please also remember that lots of the jabs taken here are only trolls wishing to stir the mud. Great job trollies!

Even with the cancellation, they had over a week to sell tickets. Garth Brooks sold out two concernts on his comeback tour within 2 hours. Don't blame the school board or LEO for this thugs low turnout. He got what he deserved, and so did everyone who stood up for him. Good luck getting your money back. The last concert he stood up was over 2 months ago and they are still fighting to get their money back
