The Reserrection Of Tunechi
Over the past year we all have witnessed Lil Wayne go through an enormous amount of beef with his once mentor and protégé Birdman. However, this rapper has continued to keep banging out hits and kept his composure by taking things in his own hands never letting his fans and supporters down and keeping YM Camp banging those hits.
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. was born on September 27, 1982, and grew up in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. He was born when his mother, a cook, was 19 years old. His
parents divorced when he was 2, and his father permanently abandoned the family. Although Wayne and Birdman have a father–son relationship and Birdman calls Carter his son, Wayne's biological father and namesake (Dwayne Carter) is still alive. Lil Wayne has also spoken about his deceased stepfather, Rabbit, who he has said he considers his real father. Carter has a tattoo dedicated to Rabbit, who was murdered before Carter became a star. Carter enrolled in the gifted program of Lafayette Elementary School and in the drama club of Eleanor McMain Secondary School. Wayne attended McMain in the early 1990s for two years. He moved to the Marion Abramson Senior High School.
In 1991, at the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo The B.G.'z, alongside fellow New Orleans-based rapper Lil' Doogie. In 1996, Lil Wayne formed the Southern hip hop group Hot Boys, with his Cash Money label-mates Juvenile, Young Turk and Lil' Doogie (who now goes by B.G.). Hot Boys debuted with Get It How U Live! that same year. Lil Wayne gained most of his success with the group's major selling album Guerrilla Warfare (1999). Along with being the flagship artist of Cash Money Records, Lil Wayne is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of his own imprint, Young Money Entertainment, which he founded in 2005. As part of the Hot Boys, Lil Wayne got his first taste of success. The group was made up of several of Cash Money's rising stars—B.G., Juvenile, Turk and Wayne. Their debut album, Get It How U Live (1997), sold more than 400,000 copies. Their next effort, Guerilla Warfare (1999), did even better, eventually selling more than 1 million copies. At the age of 16, Lil Wayne was on his way to music stardom.The rapper's next two albums, Lights Out (2000) and 500 Degreez (2002), sold modestly compared to his debut. Then, in a career-changing move, Lil Wayne took a break from creating a traditional style album and released his first collection from his underground mixtapes: Da Drought (2003). His mixtape tracks usually feature beats borrowed from other artists with new lyrics that he creates. Lil Wayne is considered the mixtape King by adding his flavor to tracks other artist have done starting a frenzy and trend for rappers alike.
As the world awaited some major changes and beef with once mentor Birdman and his affiliates Wayne kept his promise to his fans many thought or expected Lil Wayne to be having a hard time someplace right now, sitting back and shaking his fist while he waits for the resolution of the apocalyptic drama between him and Cash Money Records, his label of nearly 20 years. (Official word just hit that Wayne's suing Cash Money and Bryan "Birdman" Williams for an enormous $51 million.Nope. Weezy's busy, having just released Sorry 4 the Wait 2, a ferocious mixtape that took aim at Cash Money with fiery lyrics. (Also just featured Wayne shredding tons of popular beats, adding to his huge collection of vital remixes.) Now Tunechi's working on Dedication 6, the latest installment in his highly regarded series that Wayne and DJ Drama have been building for a decade now. Tha Carter V's been on hold for nine months, but who really cares, at this rate of mixtapes and hot singles like "Believe Me," "Krazy," "Gotti" and "Grindin'"?
All there is to do now is sit and watch if you think Lil Wayne doesn’t have some mastermind blueprint for hip hop think again this is only the beginning take notes hip hop world.
