Lil Wayne is the first featured artist at this blog and I sure have a good feeling about him. He is one of the best rapping artist in America, and has made one of the best revolution from rapper to rocker. But, hey some people have demons of their own.
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr also known by the stage name ‘LIL WAYNE’ is a world renowned America rap artist. Carter, joined Cash Money Records at the age of 9, making him the youngest member of the 5 star ship. Dwayne, joined the trio, The Hot Boys in 1997, this group included Juvenile, B.G, and Turk, the group debuted their first album ‘Get It How U Live’ and later they gained success with their major selling album ‘Guerrilla Warfare’ released in 1999. In that same year, Dwayne, debuted his first solo album ‘Tha Block Is Hot’ making it his first album that went platinum; the record sold over a million copies in the US only. Later, Carter released his two albums, that turned Lil Wayne’s A game to a zero down-low, the albums ‘Lights Out’ (2000) and ‘500 degrees’ (2002) they targeted only for gold. Dwayne, my friend word of advice to get to the top, you have to fall first.
But, Dwayne, didn’t let go, he got back on his game by featuring in the Destiny Childs’ video ‘Soldier’ which topped charts in that year. In the year 2004, Lil Wayne, earned his respect by debuting his third studio album ‘Tha Carter’ which included the hit song ‘Go DJ’. Lil Wayne went sky high by dropping his fourth studio album ‘Tha Carter II’ in 2006-2007. Carter, released several mix tapes. Later, Dwayne Carter, debuted his dashing hit album ‘Tha Carter III’, selling over one million copies in its first week making him the first black artist to set that record, ‘ I am the real-deal, and I will never back down’, states Carter.
Wayne made his revolution, by switching from rapper to rocker. ‘ I always wanted to try rock’, says Lil Wayne. Carter released his first rocker album ‘The Rebirth’ which was not that successful. Making him a fool, you can not switch from “Mr Swagger” to “Elvis Presley”. Wayne re-signed with Cash Money Records for a multi-album deal. In 2009, Wayne planned to release ‘The Carter IV’ which was cancelled for the year 2011. In that same year, the record company released their group album ‘We Are Young Money’ which featured Cash Money’s big giants, the album included their hit single ‘Bedrock featuring Lloyd’ , the track got great reviews. Carter, released another studio album ‘I Am Not A Human Being’ in September 2010, which was on his birthday.
Dwayne Carter, might have won countable awards, but that does not mean his life is a fairytale. I must agree, in a rappers’ life there should be problems but its not always. Dwayne Michael Carter, has been arrested for countless times; making our friend a bad role model. My conclusion states, in order to be a best rapper, get arrested and write lyrics about how you love ‘P***y, Money, Weed’. I personally rate Lil Wayne 3/10.
