Lil Wayne Shouts Out To Lil Lane

 Send This Story To A Friend

Rap star Lil Wayne continues to talk up Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin… or Lil Lane as he calls him in his latest UStream video.

Kiffin was mentioned in a new Lil Wayne rap two weeks ago that featured the line, “Smokin’ weed, talking sh*t like Lane Kiffin.”

Kiffin came out afterward and said “We’re Lil Wayne fans” and also joked that the rapper’s comments gave UT’s program “street cred.”  The song has since been played at practice.

Well, apparently, Lil Wayne — who has made appearances on ESPN shows in the past — didn’t get that message.

You can click here to go to a video he’s posted at UStream.tv.  In it, click forward to the 15:00 mark of the clip.

At that point, you’ll see Lil Wayne sparking up a blunt.  (That would be a marijuana cigarette or reefer to you old timers, a joint to my generation.)

Below is a transcription of what he says about Kiffin and Tennessee:



“Shout out, Lane Kiffin… and the whole Tennessee Volunteers team.  I heard they say they only doggin’ the things that I said.  Because I said, ‘Smoke weed, talk sh*t like Lane Kiffin.’  But Lane, what you don’t know is you gonna be sittin’ in some recruit’s living room and his mother’s gonna call him from the back room, and he’s gonna come up front listening to a iPod.  And on his iPod he’s gonna be listenin’ to, ‘Smoke week, talk sh*t like Lane Kiffin,” and you’ll be able to say, ‘Hi, son, I’m Lane Kiffin, I’m who he’s talkin’ about.”  And you just may get a recruit because of that.  Don’t thank me, just apologize for not thanking me.

“Now, the for real though, I rock wit you Lil Lane.  I heard that’s your new name, they call you Lil Lane.  And all dem boys over there at Tennessee, I rock wit y’all.  Y’all stomped, um, I watched y’all stomp South Carolina tonight.  Y’all did y’all thing.  I am a big fan of the Ol’ Ballcoach, but y’all did y’all thing tonight.  And I rocks wit y’all and I love the black and orange jerseys.  You killed ‘em.”



Not sure what to add here.  Perhaps “Congratulations to Steve Spurrier and South Carolina” for also being on Lil Wayne’s list of faves?

It’s surprising that the rapper hadn’t heard about Kiffin’s public comments about the “Smoke weed, talk sh*t like Lane Kiffin” line, but then again, maybe he did.  Judging from the weed he’s smoking, he might’ve just forgotten about it.

There’s no question, though, being repeatedly mentioned by the world’s hottest rap star is boost for Tennessee’s recruiting.  What kind of guys they might land because of this… well, let’s just say the UT athletic department might run out of cups to pee in.

This isn’t a first, of course.  While not mentioned in his raps (to my knowledge), Snoop Dogg has still cozied up to Pete Carroll and Les Miles in the past.
