Lil Wayne



WEEZY F BAYYYBAYYYY!

This blog was made to fulfill an assignment for my internet marketing course. The course is now comming to and end and there will be few future posts. With that said I took a look at all my past posts to see who else I should feature and discuss. While doing this I realized that I had not posted a single blog on a rapper. Rap may not really be my style but I cannot deny that weezy's ones of the best out there.
Dwayne Michael Carter Jr (Lil Wayne) was born in New Orleans on September 27 1982. He started his career rapping as part of the group Hot Boys, featuring Juvenile and two other artists in 1997. Weezy began his solo career in 2002 and only six years later has collaborated with nearly all the hottest names in the music industry. He has released six solo albums since his debut and will continue to be a very popular rapper. Weez is directly associated with Hot Boys, Birdman, Juelze Santana, Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, TI, Fat Joe, Young Jeezy, Chamillionaire, the Game and more.


Lil Wayne recieves a great deal of recognition for his work. In 2007, he was named on of the 'Men of the Year' by GQ Magazine and MTV named him the 'Hottest MC' in the game. In 2008 he was named 'Best Rock Star Alive' by Blender Magazine and 'Best MC' by Rolling Stone. Also this year his single "Lollipop" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
