After serving eight months at Rikers,
Lil Wayne has been released from jail today, and President Bill Clinton, who has been turned on to hip-hop and rap music by his daughter, is happy for him. "This guy's smart, and he's got abilities and he's got a new chance now," Clinton
said Tuesday on Pittsburgh's 96.1 Kiss FM. "What I hope will happen is that he has a good life now." Speaking about rappers in the biz, the first O.G. president heeded a warning to Weezy: "They're really smart, but a lot of them have had tough lives and they almost think it's cool to get in trouble every now and then." Maybe Lil Wayne will take that hard-won advice from the Bad-Boy-in-Chief himself and play it straight.
