Best of Craigslist: Lil Wayne Impersonator Wanted

I know you’re in need of some extra $$$$$. Why not ruin a 16 year-old’s birthday!? Help ‘em out- I’m sure there will be free cake with heaps of teen disappointment on top.

My son is turning 16 and really wanted Lil Wayne to perform for his birthday gala. Unfortunately his schedule will not permit him to make it. I need a Lil Wayne impersonator desperately.

Here is the kicker my son is blind so you do not need to look like the rapper just sound like him. I understand he grunts and mumbles a lot. I don’t care if you are 67 and Jewish if you can sing the songs you’re hired. Money is not an issue. Name your price. Interested individuals please let me know your rap experience, video of you performing as Lil Wayne would be better. If that is not feasible we can arrange for a live audition.

Serious inquiries only, this is very important to my family. Young Money Baby!

Chris Burns and I were having a couple of beers before interviewing w/ Hercules & Love Affair’s Andy Butler at that Irishy bar across the street from 930 club. On the walk over to 930, we ran into this kid (I mean kid) who was 80% dead ringer: no shirt, crazy dreads, all types of shit tattooed all over his face. Total crackhead-on-a-mission vibe. He asked us for a quarter and barely waited to hear us say “no”. I remember saying out loud something about him being on vacation from jail.

every one under the age of 30 thinks that they can impersonate lil wayne perfectly. i cant tell you how many people ive seen that have tried. so be careful. get really familiar with his stuff before you go and hire someone.

Smalls gets the “honorary moron award” for taking this guy somewhat seriously.
