Dwayne Michael Carter also known as Lil Wayne is a famous artist known all around the world. He was introduced to the hard life at a very young age. He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and was raised in the tough Holly grove neighborhood. He started off rapping at a young age. At the age of 16 he released his solo debut called The Block Is Hot. It was number one on the charts. After that he started releasing high profile songs and all of his songs were becoming more famous. He also started his own group called young money which is one of the most respected groups in the rap game. Lil Wayne is a hip-hop artist and has song a different range of rap songs. He’s used auto tone on his music lately. He also released an album called the Rebirth and in that album his songs were sort of rock music like. Lil Wayne is arguably the best rapper he has been compared to famous rappers like Tupac. One of his biggest hit was Lollipop feat. Static Major. That song spent 6 weeks on the Number 1 spot. It won the Grammy for the best song in 2009 and one of the most downloaded ringtones. Another big hit was Got money feat. T-pain. That song was ranked number 19 on MTV’s list of the top hip hop songs of 2008. Lil Wayne has also had a couple run ins with the law. Most recently he was sentenced to 8 months in jail and was just recently released. People believe he has a big drug problem. A lot of fans liked his older music they believe that he might have lost his touch and that’s why he’s been using auto tone so much lately. But his mix tape that came out called No Ceilings proved that he can still rap. Overall I believe lil Wayne is one of the best rappers and that it is worth going out and buying his albums.
