The Evolution of Lil Wayne

Lil Wayne has been rapping since he was a child and worked his way to the top of the charts. The New Orleans MC got his first taste of stardom as a member of the Hot Boys, with their successful 1997 album 'Get It How U Live.' From there came his multi-Platinum debut album 'Tha Block Is Hot,' opening the door for other successful projects like '500 Degreez' and 'Tha Carter II.' He is the heart and soul of Young Money, the collective that birthed both Nicki Minaj and Drake’s record-breaking careers. Wayne also had his share of dust-ups, even ending up locked in a legal battle with Birdman, the same person who gave him his first real shot as a rapper.
