Here is Lil' Wayne performing "Got Money" and "Lollipop" on Saturday Night Live (September 13, 2008). Mack Maine appears on "Got Money."
Wayne gets on the guitar around the 8:00 mark during "Lollipop." Michael Phelps provided the introduction.
Update: The original video on Youtube became disabled. Here is another link to "Lollipop" with Wayne playing guitar although this version is much lower quality:
soooo, is anyone as weirded out as I am about him playing guitar with his thumb?

uhyeaa
I've never seen a "musician" who apparently needs lessons on how to fake playing a guitar. FAIL.

definitely lost some of the little respect that I had for Lil Wayne. A guitar is not an accessory. Who can honestly say that what we saw would be worth actually going to see. It's really says somethine about our culture when the defending argument is..."stop hating! he's so sexy!" yeah sex sells, but it doesn't equal talent. give me outkast, talib, or nas. Lil Wayne is another dime a dozen rapper singing about nothing but capitilistic and sexual conquests. Amazingly shallow to me. He's definitely not the worse though.
I'm done

Memo said "Ok he's not so good live but he's one of the best rappers alive" ....this is simply retarded and it's contradictory as well....what makes a rapper good? the ability to flow and perform, freestyle, not drop the beat and put on a good show....so, not only do 90% of lil Wayne's lyrics suck, but what ur saying is he can't even perform them well when he already has them memorized????? WOW, you need to expand ur files....badly, because Lil Wayne is over-produced drivel when compared to any of the good lyricists out there right now, new and old???????

If a lover of music went into a coma in 1969 and woke up today and heard this as an example of the current state of "pop"music, he'd wish he never woke up. This is pure crap bordering on "minstrel" caricature and should be an insult to African Americans who lead normal lives. If "rap/hip hop" came out of the white suburban shopping mall culture, sounding exactly the same, it would never have risen to the level it is today simply becasue it sounds and looks STUPID!

no talent no offense to any of you who like him but it just doesn't work. he's doesn't belong in the music business and i believe rap and hip hop are destroying good music. its sad that this is what music has come to a bunch of wanna be musicians that can't even come up with good lyrics

I had never even heard ot Lil Wayne when I tuned into the premier of SNL and I was just knowked back by his dynamic performance. It's his talent that makes what would otherwise be a homely little guy sooo sexy I am a casual fan of rap/hiphop, but now a BIG fan of Wayne. I'm sure he made many more converts that night despite what the haters want to believe. And I loved his bringing out the guitar even though he's obviously a beginner. It will make him a better musician..
