Lil Wayne Responds to American Flag Controversy

Earlier this week footage leaked of Lil Wayne shooting a video for “God Bless Amerika” in New Orleans. In the clip (available below), Wayne is seen stepping and dancing on top of an American flag with little to no regard.

Not feeling the “unpatriotic” label, Wayne took to his Facebook to release the following statement:

It was never my intention to desecrate the flag of the United States of America. I was shooting a video for a song off my album entitled “God Bless Amerika”. The clip that surfaced on the Internet was a camera trick clip that revealed that behind the American Flag was the Hoods of America. In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground. In most people eyes including my own who were raised in that environment, the Hood is the only America they know and the only America I knew growing up. I was fortunate from my God giving talents to escape the Hood and see the other beautiful places this country has to offer but most people who are born in that environment don’t get that chance. That’s their view of their America. That was Dwayne M Carter from Hollygrove New Orleans view of America. That’s who I’m speaking for in this song.

Ugly Heroes (Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent & Red Pill) – Ugly f. DJ Eclipse [2Dope Premiere]

Now that Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent and Red Pill’s Ugly Heroes album is available on vinyl (with a bonus 45), the trio has decided to give 2DBZ the green light to premiere a previously unreleased bonus cut from the same recording sessions.

An Ugly Hero is considered a myth. Growing up, the heroes we saw in cartoons and movies were perfectly chiseled, intelligent, and had senses none of us possess. An UGLY HERO is the everyday blue collar individual that makes the world go ’round. These are the heroes that work hard all day, everyday to help ensure that the lives around them are taken care of, and do it all without recognition. They wear themselves into the ground and sacrifice vanity for family.
