Lil wayne


Lil Wayne or as he calls himself Weezy F Baby, is a talented Hip Hop artist. He was discovered at the age of 12 and signed by Cash Money records at age 14. He lived with his mom before he started a new life as the son Of Birdman another Hip Hop artist. Weezy has a daughter called Reginae. Throughout his career he has made hit records like "Hustler Muzik", "Fireman", "Gossip", "Lollipop", and so on. He has also gotten awards for best collaboration and best rap songs.

Tha Carter (2004) signaled a change in direction for Lil Wayne. The album itself wasn't a huge departure from Lil Wayne's past three -- it's filled to the brim with tracks produced by Cash Money in-house producer Mannie Fresh, some of which could well have been left on the cutting room floor -- yet it showcased a more measured and mature performance by the rapper, who seemed newly emboldened and sported a new look on the album cover (i.e., dreadlocks). The change in direction was commercial as well as musical, as Tha Carter featured Lil Wayne's biggest hit in years, "Go DJ"; moreover, the album itself was a Top Five hit. Also in 2004, Lil Wayne began to be guest-featured regularly, starting with Destiny's Child's "Soldier," a Top Three hit.

His newest hit song Lollipop is also a #1 hit

Thanks for displaying the video. I now realised that I can embed video from Yahoo.com instead of Youtube.com, because it is bloked by the DOE filter. Anyway, that's a good article for lovers of hip-hops, not me.
