News Flash! Lil Wayne Is Not On Syrup!
XXL — ... I have. And I’ll tell you this, he has one of the more entertaining live sets I can remember. Why? Because this little muthafucka bounces around from one end of the stage to the other for damn near an hour. Last time I checked, syrup was a downer. It makes you drowsy. Makes you slow down. Makes you nod. Weezy does none of those things during his shows. Hell, he hardly does any of those things during his interviews when he ever so eloquently breaks down just how painful his addiction is . Well ...

Judging by the Shade45 interview from last week, 50 is back with guns blazing, and I want to write it off. I want to say "oh this is some publicity stunt bullshit", and just give it the remedial life tag, but I have to admit - I am very amused by 50's latest fire-breathing.

And as Wayne mentioned to MTV News, his cup, more often than not, contains an illegal , not-good-for-your-longevity mixture of cough medicine and fountain soda commonly known as syrup. But Weezy has a different name for it. Speaking to Tim Westwood about himself in the third person, Wayne said, "Whatever he was drinking must be a m-f’in success potion." So let's call it that.
