Almost a month ago, one of Hip Hops leading lyricists, Lil Wayne, was sentenced to eight months in prison for weapons possession charges in New York’s infamous Rikers Island.  However, while serving out his time, he has devised a positive and interactive way to keep in contact to the many fans who support him.

Recently, Weezy explained to me the idea behind Weezythanxyou.com, which will basically serve as his gate way to the free world. The site will allow the Young Money quarterback to post daily status updates as well as answer fan questions. “I wanted to do something for my fans, so they know I am still with them and that I love them very much,” Wayne told me not too long ago. Fans who want to keep up Weezy’s release date will allowed to see a continuously running countdown clock until Dr. Carter returns home later this year.

The new site and new songs will not be the only thing he will be penning either. Even while not able to watch his favorite show, SportsCenter, everyday, Wayne will soon be returning to blogging for ESPN.com. His first post detailing his thoughts on the NCAA Final Four is scheduling to be released next week.

Love. Live. Life. Proceed. Progress. That’s who I am and who I’ll always be. You see, we’re all living on borrowed time, so I’m not worried about this situation. Life happens quick. The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done…you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do. Trying to tear down the past prohibits you from building up your future. So for my time here, my physical will be confined to the yard. My love and my spirit, however, know no boundaries. 
I’m in good spirits man, for real. My kids

race through my mind all day. They know they were created with love, so love is how their life will be defined. I just hope my love and adoration for them provides a temporary bandage on a wound I unknowingly inflicted on them.

Real soon, you can catch me blogging for ESPN again thank you espn for not letting my passion for sports perish. I work out a lot because it helps pass the time. I read the Bible everyday. Jail didn’t make me find God, He’s always been there. They can lock me up, but my spirit and my love can never be confined to prison walls.

But this isn’t all about me, you are the reason for this letter. It’s because of you Rebirth went gold when critics aborted it. It’s because of you Young Money is and will always be a movement. If the weight of the world is on your shoulders, I beg of you, place it on mine. That’s the least I could do for you, after all you have sacrificed for me. If I could, I’d write each one of you back. Because of this, my team and I have created a website where you can view my letters. Each week I’ll answer as many questions as I possibly can.
