WAYNE

Time magazine states that Lil Wayne is most definately the best rapper alive, and I have to agree 100%. He has sold more than 6.5 million albums, worldwide, and of course, it helps that Tha Carter III is one of the best albums of the year. Wayne actually signed his first deal at age 11 after rhyming on a record executive's answering machine. Since June 10, when his latest album, Tha Carter III, sold 1,005,545 copies in its first week, he's been the undisputed champ. He is also more than just there for his fans; Time magazine states, "Besides coughing out guest verses for seemingly anyone who asked, he sometimes recorded three songs in a night and gave them away on the Internet minutes later on a series of superb mix tapes." Lil Wayne is not only the best rapper alive, but he is one of the people that I can kind of look up to, and believe that if Wayne could make it that far in his career, than why can’t I make it that far in mine? He inspires me, and SO MANY other people in the world, in many, many different ways.
