Dwayne Michael Carter, Jnr. Aka. Lil Wayne.



So, i mentioned possibly the best rapper alive in a blog previously, but didn't write much. Possibly because I wasn't ready at the time to commit to such an important blog on my page at the time. This is for the self-proclaimed best rapper alive, LIL WAYNE! His unique appeal and his individualism makes him his own, in his own catergory, in his own world, a world far from one that we are from.

What makes this guy the success he is? I don't want to go into his history, you can do that yourself.

But this guy is inspirational for what he represents. He has grinded his way in the game from knee high to today, and is the definition of 'perseverance'. He probably has as much unreleased material as Tupac, and he's still alive. His lyrical content has developed alot through the time and his freestyle ability without the need to write is sensational. I haven't been a fan since day one, but i heard the global hype at around Tha Carter II, and got a copy of Tha Carter 3 when it came out through a friend recommendation. And boy, was I amazed.



All his songs can stand alone, and he leaves his heart on the tracks. What's scary, is the fact that he has alot more where that came from. A mind full of thoughts, a mind full of rhymes, he is dominating the rap game today. Despite being in prison for previous gun charges, he has worked hard to make his presence felt even when he's locked inside.

So why have i decided to talk about the phenomenon today? Quite simply, his music inspires me to work AS hard as him. Its funny how music motivates people to do certain things. His perseverance can be felt through his music, his determination and belief that he IS the best can be felt through his lyrics and voice. His self-confidence is out of this world. And as long as he stays that way, i'll be addicted to listening to his music to keep working myself.


A couple tunes that have caught the ear:

'I'm Me'


"Hit 'Em Up'


"Mr Carter"


The phenomenon that is "A Milli"


"Drop The World"
