I'll admit to knowing next to nothing about Lil' Wayne or his ouvre, but a quick perusal of his Wikipedia page turned up this picture of him smooching Brian "Baby" Williams (a.k.a. Birdman).Weezy hilariously claimed that it was a "black variation" of a Mafia greeting. The two guys on the right of the picture must not be down with "La Cosa Negra," because they look pretty put out...then again, maybe they just grimace like that all the time. They're pretty gangsta, after all.
Joe: If Ben had taken the time to listen to rap Jackson Pollock "We Takin Over" on Da Drought 3, he would know that Wayne comprehensively addresses the smoochtroversy. To quote the rapstract expressionist himself, "Damn right I kiss my daddy". Of course.
Update: I couldn't decide which explanation of The Kiss (being Wayne, I might as well describe it as Klimtian) struck me as funnier, that Wayne would kiss his surrogate rap-father on the mouth, or that he would kiss his pathetic-Mafia-posturing Godfather on the mouth. Nevertheless, the kissing candid situation does represent a bizarre kind of intersection between rap and tabloid journalism...whats next, CHAMILLIONAIRE TANS TOPLESS IN THE BAHAMAS? WAYNE FORGETS UNDERWEAR, BARES ALL EXITING LIMO? (alllllleeeyyy-oop!)
