Lil Wayne Co-Signs 13-Year-Old Rapper Lil Mouse: How Young Is Too Young for Gun Lyrics?
Posted by Mikey Fresh under videos[96] Comments
Chicago is undoubtly under the microscope in hip-hop. With the success of young rappers like Chief Keef, Rockie Fresh, King L. and more, the Windy City is being looked at as the next “hotspot” for rap talent. With the buzz and accolades also comes the drama and controversy. Particularity one young Chicago “gangsta rapper” by the name of Lil Mouse. Shorty is only 13-years-old, yet raps about about gun violence, explicit sexual encounters, gangs and other mature topics commonly associated with hardcore hip-hop. Lil Mouse has caught the attention of the nation with his “Get Smoked” music video which has generated hundreds of thousands of views on Youtube and WSHH. Most recently, Lil Wayne remixed the track on his Dedication 4 mixtape, which was released yesterday. Weezy is already being criticized for this move but remember he was doing the same thing at Mouse’s age. Don’t forget he accidentally shot himself while blasting rap music and playing with a gun at 12-years-old.
So how young is too young?
Listen to Lil Mouse’s music, Weezy’s remix, and more after the jump…

If we can celebrate grown men who rap about these things, then I don’t want to hear this hypocritical mess. Why should the youth be held to higher standards than adults? We’re getting upset about the wrong things.

I agree w/ u…
I think where @Really was trying to basically point out is how U gonna crucify kids for emulating their surroundings…
If U want them to do better, lead by example…
…but I wouldn’t co-sign this BS regardless!

Nobody is criticizing the little boy, it’s more about the adult’s in his life. I understand people are a product of their envirnoments, but where are his parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc? Somewhere on the block doing all the shit he’s rapping about I’m sure. Filthy fucking animals as far as I’m concerned. Don’t get me started on Lil Wayne’s braindead ass. He needs to get off all those pills, coke and sizzurp and take his dumb ass home and raise his 4 kids by 4 women. Low life jackasses, all of them.

exactly
im not from the US, but why is it such a problem when a kid raps about drugs and crime but when they are killers in Horror movies or get violated in crime shows its entertainment? In the Movie KIDS a 12 year old girl has sex with a 16 year old….., there are also movies where you see kids holding guns and take drugs…..or think of jodie fosters role in taxi driver….
i think kids should go to school and dont work in the entertainment industry at all.

This is just sad…I’ve listened to hip hop my entire life, and now have 2 kids myself, a son and a daughter. This is horrible not just for this kid, but the message it sends to other kids.
For Wayne to bring not just attention to it; but credibility by remixing the song is equally sad. Remember the days of Lil Bow Wow, now this is what its come to? As a hip hop community we really need examine what we promote and listen to because if there wasn’t a chance to make money doing it; this kids wouldn’t be rapping about this. I feel disgusted that i even watched 30 seconds of that.
For kids 12-18 years old, you probably won’t feel me on this for another 10 years or so, but if you’re over 25 and aren’t bothered by this at all, something is wrong with you.

I’m over 25, and I have absolutely no problem with it. Reasons why? I AM 25, I can control the music I listen to. Gimmicks exist in all industries. I’m from Brooklyn, went to school in Philly, I’ve seen kids doing exactly what he’s rapping about. Nah, I don’t have any kids yet. But If I did, I wouldn’t hide them from Lil Mouse. We would laugh at the video together, because I keep it real. I’ll probably let them know if they fuck around with them fuck arounds then they’ll fuck around and get smoked! lol

What about the image that you’re kids will now “look up to” based on what they’ve watched with you? I’m from the hoodest of the hoods but my mother was wise enough to have standards for my sister and I. If you want to expose them to real life, turn on the news not glorify foolishness. Hell take them to Chicago but giving Youtube views to this makes no sense. When you have kids, you’ll change your mind. BTW, I don’t have any but when those little blessings come, I’ll definitely “Lead by example.”

Does this question even need to be asked? Then folk wonder why we, and by we I mean black people get looked at as animals across this nation and planet. ANYONE cosigning this needs to be called out on it.
Lil Wayne was a honor student that rapped about shit for entertainment and as all kids, did things you shouldn’t but the MAJORITY of any gun talk, gang talk came after he was already a millionaire.
I think Young Money is on a campaign to see how much B.S they can collectively get any with before someone says something about it….and it’ll need to be someone bigger then Rosenberg.
What’s scary is that the Hip Hop machine is getting bigger and bigger yet the sense of responsibility and ownership to make the community BETTER then what it started as is being lost. And it seems no one in the game with real power cares about it.

Without getting into the broader issues surrounding a story like this, one basic resolution to the social implications this may raise is artistic/intellectual competency, which doesn’t appear to have ever been cultivated in this 13 year old, as with so many others.

The only problem I have with this is that the violence that Lil Mouse raps about is his reality. America needs to just be honest with itself for once. Young poor white, black, and, latino kids have been living life hard for decades. By age 8 or 9 most ghetto youth have seen too much for their age. Not this kid’s fault he writes what he sees.

this is sad. i remember back in the 90′s the labels would atleast make the artists wait until they hit around 16. i remember this was the case with the group illegal. they were way too aggressive for teens, but atleast there was some form of a boundary. now there are no limits.

This shit ain’t about HipHop…this is about the community; and in particular the fuckshit going on in Chicago everyday this year. SAD! Fuck is Rahm Emanuel doing!?! ….the saddest thing of all is that administration is going to be backed into a corner and time and again we know what comes next. If $$$ is all you care about as a people/family/community…that’s ur life yo! SAD as FUCK!
I’m not even talking about education as means to make $$ and all that tired ass bullshit; I’m talking about education to give kids a fucking chance to even understand how exploitative this shit is; education so the babies can fucking breathe and think man!?!
Lil mouse is 10% of the issue; he’s the industry now, wake up–the industry ain’t shit! Better go check them shorties in your own neighborhoods and see where their heads are @!
As far as songs and shit…been done; done to wayne as well so his co-sign shouldn’t have mothafuckas graspin for their pearls.
Lastly…if you aren’t 13 and you ARE >13 and you ARE listening to a 13yo for relevance in gangsta rap talk. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM IN AMERICA! That’s my word!

Chicago already has 346 murders so far in 2012. Two weekends ago 39 ppl got shot. Last year in one weekend 62 people got shot. This kid is growing up around this, and Chicago Sun Times writes an article talking about “child abuse” cause the kid is rapping? Huh? Why not write about the record murder pace they are going to reach? Why not write about how black youth are being ignored by the city? Why are they writing about some little kid rapper that no one is going to hear about anyway? oh yeah. my bad, they want to blame hip-hop for everything. you guys falling for their silly tricks. as if this 13 year old kid is anything. This just some shock value bullshit, meant to distract from the real problem. that being that chicago politics are ignoring black education, crime, youth, and inner cities.
Don’t talk to me about some 13 yaer old kid rapping “adult.” For chicago sun times to waste one inch of space writing about this bullshit when 346 ppl have been MURDERED in 8 months, is fuckign pathetic.
If this kid can get ppl to turn there attention to the rampant crime going on in Chicago, so that he can get people so riled up that they realize over 600 PPL will be MURDERED by years end in this kids neighborhood, then im all for it. make more little mouses rapping about guns, so that ppl see how fucked up chicago is and actively try and change.

Hip-Hop/Rap is supposed to be about being yourself and talking about what you know. If you’re raising your child in an area where where street violence, drugs, poverty, & aggressive language is not relevant then I understand why you would think these lyrics would possibly be too much. But child was not. I do not know his personal household situation, but saying that he’s from Chicago is enough to say that he’s probably seen and done more then the average 13-year-old. Comparing this kid to other children or Lil Wayne’s (who happen to grow up rich) is not fair to him. For him to make music that doesn’t represent him or his life would make no sense. There is no time frame for real life, and if his real life, pre-music, is what he’s rapping about then I will not knock him nor his family. Him putting out music is allowing him to better his life and find a way out. I try to understand his situation and his families situation before I go judging his lyrics

I’m getting sick of seeing people say “this is his reality, so why can’t he express himself” or “he was exposed to it, so he should be able to sing about what he says”. The reason he sees this is because kids in the “hood” or “ghetto” look up to thugs, because that is the closest position of power they will most likely be able to achieve. Kids from 12-18 already start young to be like gangsters, why would you throw in an even younger kid, letting 8-12 year olds think it is okay to behave like this. When older rappers sing about murder, they are 18 or 21. They are old enough to make decisions, they don’t have parents holding them back, and they can go to jail. Wayne may have started a trend, and kids will start to get signed. Once that happens, parents won’t think twice about letting their kid listen to this kind of stuff because it’s socially accepted. And for the people saying that “censorship” will just cause their kids to do worse things later on in life; there is a difference between never letting your kid listen to this garbage, showing them it, but informing them of the issues, and just letting them do whatever they want. Your kid will learn too young that you don’t need a job, you can just sell drugs, shoot people, and dodge the cops, as long as you don’t “get smoked”. But I guarantee that you won’t feel the same way about it being “just entertainment” when your kid hangs around gangs, and ends up shot on the side of a road outside of his drug dealer’s house. This is what is soiling society. It’s disgusting. And this same kid is commenting on the Lil Reese assault saying “Bitches won’t be acting up anymore”. That right there shows how rappers influence the minds of the youth.

Since slavery there has always been someone who is willing to do whatever he or she has to say or do to get favor from the master. Today mental slaves have made money almighty and will do what ever to get it. But this lil mouse stuff crossed the line.
. I know there are many people who are offended by this music and many more who would be if they saw it or cared to see it. The problem is too many people feel helpless to do anything about it and are believing nothing can be done about it. I have spent the last ten years or more bemoaning the existence of negative lyrics and images in rap music because its us producing messages and images that if other races had said about our women ,our people we would have been up in arms ready to march, fight ect. Because it is African Americans people who are profiting from their lyrics denigrating women and glorifying gun violence by too many we look the other way or say “I don’t agree but that’s them.” Well That video woke me up, made me feel SHAME as a man , a brother to sisters, a grand father and father, a son , as an African American, a former Black Panther, a life skills teacher of incarcerated men and women who told them that “if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything. “ . I am helpless no more .I have started a movement called PEOPLE FOR NONVIOLENCE IN MUSIC to address not only little mouse ,lil Wayne and their record labels and tour sponsors but also the industry that feeds off the lost-ness and anger of too many of our young people who believe they are nigga’s ,bitches, and hoes and the thug mentality is the only way to think and be. Please vist our sight and become a part of our movement to spread sanity , and accountability to our communities across America .

After watching the video & reading up on the lil’ prince…it all made sense to me; he’s from Chicago & if anyone knows about the plight amongst our people in the CHI then you can understand why this is popular music. Now I’m not saying that makes it right, but he’s being fostered by an environment that lives & breathes this mentality on the daily! It’s a sad state of affairs that our people are in because this is what happens when we’re not presented w/LEGITIMATE LIFE OPPORTUNITIES! And that goes for any hood in the U.S.!! Who are we mad at here…the kid? But he’s just that…a kid! The adults around him? Well their understanding isn’t too much better than the kid’s (and I don’t mean that in a disrespectful manner). I don’t want to get into pointing fingers, but as a people…WE HAVE BEEN FAILED on the highest level! Some of it our own doing & some of it by unseen faces in unseen places! And for the record, Wayne may have been rapping like this @ 13, but he wasn’t cussing; and didn’t utter a cuss word on a song until he turned 18; his mom made that known to Baby & Slim before allowing him to sign w/Cash Money back then. But the only way you knew it was because you heard the music…you didn’t SEE it….marinate on that for a minute! WE’RE DEALING W/A NEW MONSTER IN THIS DAY & AGE!
ONE!

I’m guessing all of you talking shit are parents…. Well get over it, obviously he likes rapping about stuff like that so let him do it I want to see you as a 13 yr old making that much money.. It’s not going to happen… He probably wipes his ass with the amount of money you make a year

Anyone who thinks a 13yo should be cursing talking about drugs and killing is flat out crazy. They are the reason we have the problems in Chicago that exist today. By the wAy his mother and uncle direct his videos so instead if thinking mouse us the root if the problem it’s really his mother and other parental figures in his life.

Parents who raise a child like this should be embarrassed and ashamed. They should not be allowed to have children this is pathetic.
