Now that Lil Wayne's teeth are in order, the superstar MC is expected once again to turn himself in to authorities, this time on Tuesday, to finally begin his one-year prison sentence stemming from a 2007 arrest on gun charges.

The rapper will be formally sentenced in a Manhattan courtroom by Judge Charles H. Solomon after last month's postponement due to Wayne's dental surgery. Wayne is scheduled to enter his plea, and authorities will then whisk him away for processing at New York's Rikers Island.


There, Weezy's world will be unlike anything he's experienced before in his life.

According to a prison guard who spoke with MTV News, the Cash Money lyricist's hectic life of recording, touring and performing will be replaced by a regimented routine that features wakeup calls at 4 a.m. and dinner at 3 p.m. The guard, who declined to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information, said Wayne should be treated like a regular inmate for the most part, obvious safety concerns aside.

"He'll be housed with inmates who are classified in his category, and he'll be able to be a regular inmate," the guard said. "He'll be able to watch television, go into the day room and congregate with people of his classification."

Wayne's classification, however, will most likely be decided based in part on his fame, the guard said. The guard also suggested Wayne would be placed in the Eric M. Taylor Center at Rikers, on the north side of the facility in East Elmhurst, New York.

"It's a high-class area where he will be segregated from [the general] population," the guard explained.

The rapper, though, won't be in a dormitory setting, as a retired corrections officer told MTV News last month. He'll likely have his own 10-by-15-foot cell with a toilet, sink, bed and one window. "He'll be able to see another wall [outside the window]," the guard said.

Wayne also will not be able to make many of his own decisions during his incarceration, including what recreation he participates in and the option to work. "He probably won't be assigned a job, just to keep things quiet," the guard said, alluding to the rapper's safety and the overall safety of the unit he's placed in.

When Wayne graced the cover of Rolling Stone recently, he said he would bring an iPod loaded with music he could write to; the guard, however, emphasized that an mp3 player would be classified as contraband, meaning the rapper would not be permitted to have one.

Weezy will have plenty of downtime, though, of which he can choose how he passes the time. In between the rapper's 4 a.m. wakeup calls for breakfast, 11 a.m. lunchtimes, 3 p.m. dinners and evening lights out, he has a number of options. He's allowed to receive two visits per week, which can be any day of the week or weekends at various times.

With his commissary money, he can purchase a transistor radio. It's unlikely that he'll visit the law library, as he has no appeal to make for his case; he's widely expected to be released after eight months if he serves with good behavior. If he wishes to participate in religious activity, he can be excused to visit the places of worship within the prison.

Throughout Wayne's sentence, he'll have an intermittent amount of time to interact with fellow inmates. According to the guard, that decision is one that is made by the governing officers of the facility to keep things orderly. For the most part, Wayne will be isolated and treated like any other numbered prisoner at Rikers Island.

"He'll have no preferable treatment at all. He'll be treated like a regular inmate," the guard said, with one added caveat: "He may have heightened security. A guard will walk with him when he moves from location to location."

This Week's Main Pick

Street Kings: Lloyd Banks and DJ Whoo Kid

Holding It Down For: G-Unit

Mixtape: V5


Real Spit: Two days before we were originally supposed to shoot the Lloyd Banks Mixtape Daily segment, the G-Unit rapper was arrested in Canada on assault charges. While waiting on his trial, Banks has bounced back with the hit single "Beamer, Benz or Bentley" with Juelz Santana.


The entire G-Unit is currently on a two-month European tour, but their youngest member left a gift for the streets on the Net. Yes, we got Banks in front of the cameras to perform a record from the mixtape for the first time.

Banks started his latest round of mixtape rampaging toward the end of 2008. The onetime Mixtape Artist of the Year at the Justo Awards said he had to get his spot back.

"Just reflecting back in the studio," Banks said of his underground assault. "Just going back. People always say, 'Go back to your first album,' I went back further than that. All the success came from [my early mixtapes] Money in the Bank, Money in the Bank Part 2 all the way to Part 4. I was like, 'You know what? I did that in a matter of two years.' I said, 'I'mma do what I did in two years in one.' I did Return of the P.L.K.; that came out in September [2008]. I went from that to Halloween Havoc; it came out in Halloween. Cold Corner came out in December [2008]. Then it was 4-30-82 [last spring]. Then V5 [in December].

"By the time I got to V5, it was a good five or six months between tapes," he added. "I didn't plan it like that. I just never stopped recording and touring. By the time V5 came, I felt a little pressure. I told them it was gonna get better every time. I think people embraced it."

Banks' official album is due later this year. It will come out independently.

"I'm aiming towards summer," Lloyd said of the release. "Mid-summer, late summer. I won't drop an album until I feel the buzz. You know, as an artist, when you feel it. I'm working independent. Everything they've heard the past year has come out my basement, including 'Beamer, Benz or Bentley.' When you first come on as a new artist and you hot and you got a buzz, you could sell doo-doo on a stick. The label makes you feel like they did it, when they just called their boy and dropped the record off.

"Now it boost my confidence when I know I can make a record in my crib, send it out and receive finances from it," he added. "Whenever it's through iTunes or whatever other outlet you have, I'm happy with it. I'm not gonna rush it, though. If it came out after this year, it wouldn't matter to me, as long as it's the product people expect."

Joints to Check For

» "Power Back" "I was in the zone when I wrote that record," Banks described. "It was actually a typo [on the track listing]. It was supposed to be 'Power Pack.' You know what the power pack is, people. That's the vein I was in. I was reflecting. It was real rap. It wasn't about having the best punch line. I wrote the record for me, and it was real things said in it. I really had a homie that was well on his way as far as basketball goes. He went to college, and somebody slipped him something [in his drink]. He ain't been the same ever since. It was more a record for me and the people I grew up around. Every city has something that reminds you of yours. I like tracks with music," he added about the soulful soundscape. "Tracks with things going on."

» "Rather Be Me." "My record is gonna sound like that. How it's put together from top to bottom and ends like a movie," the Punch Line King said. "That's the route I wanna take my album. 'Rather Be Me,' is a deep record. It's one of the joints. I didn't let nobody hear it when I was recording it. I was in the zone. It felt like a movie to me. It's crazy, because a lot of people think I'm talking to somebody in particular, but it's not. It's talking to anybody that's a coward. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. When you hear the little funny things like, 'Banks doesn't want to be G-Unit.' N---a, I am G-Unit. This [tattoo] been right here on my hand. Before anybody was signed, it was me, Tony Yayo and 50 Cent. To take that away from me is like taking away my legacy, to a certain extent. We worked too hard for somebody to tell me to drop my G-Unit."

» "We Remain." " 'Chronic, Fiji and a brand-new Lamborghini. When you see me, it's a half a mill easy,' " Banks raps. "Rap needs me. That was me just going. It was a record that wasn't necessarily recorded for the mixtape. I felt I needed that, where it was a full, long verse, a bridge. That's as gutter as it gets. That's one of the first songs I recorded for V5. It set the tone. The 'Green Day' record, 'Southside in the House,' all those records were spawned from that record. It's just dark, man. You could see yourself in your neighborhood, and it's me reflecting. I still come back to this neighborhood where my friends still stay. To go from success to being doubted to having success all over again, I feel like the underdog and that the streets are behind me."

Nino Brown: The Road to Rikers, Part 2

On Saturday night, Lil Wayne and DJ Scoob Doo sent in a video clip featuring footage they shot that afternoon. Among other things, Wayne said it was time to party before he begins his expected one-year prison term at New York's Rikers Island

.


But in fact he was doing the exact opposite. Wayne was back at work, filming several more music videos before his sentencing on gun charges on Tuesday.

"I'm shooting seven videos today," Wayne said in an exclusive new clip, shot in his trailer on the Miami video set.

One of the videos of the night was for the Rebirth track "Runnin'."

"I'mma show y'all the [work] ethic of a true artist," Wayne says in the clip. "You know what I'm talkin' about? Seven videos. I shot 10 in two days before. Now we about to do seven in one night. ['Runnin' '] was one. Next we about to do Drake's song called 'Afrika Boombatta.' "

The New Orleans Fireman then began mulling over his wardrobe for Drake's shoot. He was deciding between one of his brand-new tees promoting his Twitter account, @liltunechi, or a funky interpretation of deceased legend Marilyn Monroe.

"Gotta wear one of my @liltunechi shirts on there," Wayne said. " 'Cause that song is a fun song. So I could wear that. Then again it's Drake, so you might wanna get a little fly for his sh--."

Wayne then pulled out a T-shirt featuring Monroe with tattoos all over her arm.

"Yeah, that's stupid," the Birdman Jr. said of the Monroe shirt. "I might have to rock that."

This latest clip of Wayne starts with the acclaimed performer showing off all the BET Hip-Hop Awards in his house. Later he says he needs more VMAs.

"I got a house full of BET Awards," Wayne said with a grin. "I got one MTV award. MTV, holla atcha boy now. I'm not gonna mess up your function. I'm just gonna come get my award, thank God, thank my 'hood, thank my fam. I ain't gotta perform.

"Give me an award for nothin'," he continued with a chuckle. " 'The award for nothin' goes to Lil Wayne.' That's all I need. MTV award for nothin', man."

Wayne and DJ Scoob Doo are also filming the reality DVD "The Nino Brown Story Part 3." The first two installments are available at DJ Scoob Doo's Web site.

Check back with MTV News for more of Wayne's "Road to Rikers."

Nino Brown: The Road to Rikers, Part 1

"Three days, y'all — let's party!" Lil Wayne said on Saturday (February 27). Now that his dental surgery is done, Weezy is expected to begin serving his year in jail on weapons charges Tuesday, but he's making sure he's seen and heard before his departure. Of late, Weezy has taken to Twitter (much more on than in a minute) and Ustream to communicate with fans. On Saturday evening, Weezy and his favorite videographer, DJ Scoob Doo, sent MTV News a clip we're going to call "Nino Brown: The Road to Rikers, Part 1" (as in Rikers Island, the New York jail that Wayne's heading to).


In the clip, Wayne promises to grant fans a look at what his life is like as he prepares to go to jail.

Shot Saturday afternoon in the guest house of his Miami home, Wayne had the NCAA game of Tennessee vs. Kentucky playing in the background on his big-screen TV.

"This is for my real fans," Wayne said. "People who wanna know what I be doin'. I'mma let y'all in."

From there, Wayne, who recently tweeted that he was giving up Twitter (although he's tweeted since then), urged his fans to follow him at his page, "@liltunechi."

"I just opened that up," Weezy said. "I got almost 200,000 followers. I need more followers. I saw Drake had like 400,000 followers. I need more followers than Drake."

Wayne then gave background on his nickname.

"My nickname is Lil Tune — my grandmother named me that," he explained. "She's passed. My grandmother, her name was Mercedes Carter. She named me Lil Tune. We just threw the 'Chi' on there. Like Gucci, I say 'Tunechi!' "

The clip ends with Weezy shouting out all his children, their mothers and his own mom.

Wayne will be shooting footage right up until he goes to court on Tuesday — check back with MTV News for more!

Wayne and Scoob Doo recently released the DVD "The Nino Brown Story, Part 2." It can be found on djscoobdoo.com.

Jennifer Lopez recently parted ways with Sony Records. So appearing on Saturday Night Live last night (February 27) was a good way for her to let off some steam and preview some new material as she looks for a new label.


Jenny From The Block performed "Pieces" and the appropriately titled "Starting Over" during the show.

She also gave a pretty funny impression of Rihanna, as SNL poked fun at the remake of "We Are The World"

Reporting from Bogota, Colombia - The death toll is expected to rise from a devastating earthquake that struck Chile early Saturday morning and President Michelle Bachelet declared parts of her country catastrophe zones.

Interior Minister Edmundo Perez Yoma told reporters at a midday news conference that the magnitude 8.8 quake with an epicenter 60 miles offshore from the port city of Concepcion had left at least 82 dead.

The first television transmission of the damage showed collapsed highway overpasses and buildings in south Santiago, the capital, and Concepcion. As many as 11 aftershocks, some of magnitude 6.0 or higher, continued to strike the region throughout the morning.


Coastal cities throughout the Pacific region from Acapulco to Hawaii were bracing for possible tsunamis.

In Hawaii, civil defense sirens sounded at 6 a.m. local time alerted residents to the expected arrival of a tsunami of 3 feet to 6 feet by midday.

Waves measuring more than 6 feet had struck the Chilean island of Juan Fernandez.

President-elect Sebastian Pinera, who takes office in two weeks, told reporters that the country had suffered serious damage to its infrastructure, including highways airports and housing.

This earthquake has delivered a tremendous blow to Chilean society, Pinera said. "Our government will do everything for the recovery and to accelerate reconstruction."

The quake, lasting at least 30 seconds, struck about 3:30 a.m. local time (10:30 p.m. PST). Residents of Santiago, many of them in their pajamas, poured into the streets. The city's international airport remained closed Saturday afternoon.

The White House pledged support in Chile's hour of need, and the State Department said all personnel in the country had been accounted for.

Yoma said emergency rescue teams were in operation in various cities

Fires broke out in Valparaiso and Concepcion, owing apparently to gas leaks.

Telephone and electric power were out and water services were all down in many cities for much of Saturday morning, and communication was problematic.

Television reports showed extensive damage in the Maule region 150 miles south of Santiago. One bridge over the Claro River had collapsed, according to local reports.

Chile was also the scene of one of the world's strongest earthquakes ever recorded in 1960 that left hundreds dead. The quakes are caused by the recurring collision of tectonic plates off the Chilean coastline.

Angie Jackson has taken micro-blogging to a whole new level.

In an attempt to “demystify” abortion, the 27-year-old shared her experience on Twitter, YouTube and her personal blog.

I’m doing this so other women know, ‘Hey, it’s not nearly as terrifying as I had myself worked up thinking it was.’ It’s just not that bad,” Jackson said on her YouTube video.

Her ordeal began on February 13, when she discovered that her IUD, a contraceptive device placed in the uterus, failed.

Jackson, a mother of a four-year-old son with special needs, decided to terminate the pregnancy.

"I had made a decision when my son was born to try to not get pregnant again, and if that failed I'd planned that I would get an abortion if I needed one," Jackson told ABCNews.com.

Last Thursday, she went to her local Planned Parenthood in Tampa, Fla,. to get RU-486, commonly known as the abortion pill.

She started chronicling the experience on Twitter under the username “antitheistangie.”

"Cramps are getting a bit more persistent," Jackson typed.

A few hours later, her status changed to “Definitely bleeding now."

Jackson’s following has doubled from 800 since she first tweeted the news of her pregnancy, but not everyone is happy with Jackson’s openness.

Not only has she been criticized for being a “whore" who "can't keep her legs closed," but Jackson and her family have received threats as well.

I’ve just been astonished by the level of hatred and death threats and threats of violence against my son. It’s been a very ugly side of people to see,” she told Web site The Frisky.

The Family Research Council published a blog entry calling Jackson’s decision a “tragedy.”

Supporting her decision to abort her baby unintentionally does a grave injustice to Angie, her unborn child, her son and even her boyfriend,” wrote FRC director Jeanne Monahan. “Abortion kills one person and wounds at least one additional person.”

Still, Jackson is not letting the critics affect her.

"I'm not trying to ignite a culture war," she told ABCNews.com "I'm just offering one person's personal experience and true story."

Rapper Nas needs a wake-up call -- he's trying to win back his estranged baby mama Kelis (despite the fact she's suing him over child support) and now he owes the IRS a huge chunk of change.

We told you about the tax lien the IRS slapped on Nas back in October to the tune of $2,584,206.31. Now, according to court docs, Nas' bill has ballooned to a whopping $3,365,671.26. Not Joe Francis territory, but getting close.

Last week, Nas was ordered to pay baby mama Kelis $200,000 in back child and spousal support.

Our sources say Nas doesn't have a clue he's going under financially and doesn't understand he can go to jail if he doesn't pay child support. He was at Sundance recently and raked in $50,000 for a performance, which, we're told, he blew before he blew out of Sundance.

And more news in the non-reality department -- Nas has been sending Kelis a flurry of emails, telling her how much he wants her back and where she can fly to hook up with him. Nas -- she has a new boyfriend and has moved on. She really wants that divorce.
