Music Monday
Lil Wayne.
It's time I shed light on the ridiculous level of admiration I have for this man. He is witty, hilarious, and has been making HITS since his pre-teens.
At seventeen, he was rhyming about the indistinguishable trials of facing stardom, supporting his young mother, and getting hit with child support demands. Today, Lil Wayne raps about whatever the hell he wants. Because he can. Whether he is spitting an explicit poem for the ladies, or spewing verbal bullets about shooting up your grandmother's house, almost all of the music has an undeniable uniqueness that challenges the up-and-coming entertainers to step it up. And for fiteeen plus years, no one has.
Lil Wayne has his own projects - Drake (who will inevitably grace a future Music Monday) & Nicki Minaj - who have reached an ultra hyped level of stardom. Very few new rappers have brought any of the innovative style and lyricism he has. His puns, that infectious giggle, and his deeply-rooted Southern rawness has made him insurmountable. Like the legends of Run DMC, NWA, and Tupac Shakur, Lil Wayne has changed the face of rap music.
