That same year, he officially took the moniker Lil Wayne, dropping the "D" from his first name in order to separate himself from an absent father. The 1997 album Chopper City was supposed to be the follow-up, but when Wayne accidentally shot himself in the chest with a. Although only B.G.'s name appeared on the cover, the 1995 album True Story has since been accepted as the B.G.'z debut album both by fans and the Cash Money label.
A year later, in-house producer Mannie Fresh partnered him with the 14-year-old B.G. Combining a strong work ethic with aggressive self-promotion, the 11-year-old convinced the Cash Money label to take him on, even if it was just for odd jobs around the office. He found music was the best way to express himself, and after taking the name Gangsta D he began writing rhymes. and raised in the infamous New Orleans neighborhood of Hollygrove, he was a straight-A student but never felt his true intelligence was expressed through any kind of report card. Would it be possible that it's the very intentions of those who push the music to the masses? To "remove" from the mass medias, all kind of pleasurable and constructive music from us by replacing it with crap?Īll that music is representing now is suicide, murder, money and alcholol.A game-changing artist and celebrity, Lil Wayne began his career as a near-novelty - a preteen delivering hardcore hip-hop - but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he developed into aĪ game-changing artist and celebrity, Lil Wayne began his career as a near-novelty - a preteen delivering hardcore hip-hop - but through years of maturation and reinventing the mixtape game, he developed into a million-selling rapper with a massive body of work, one so inventive and cunning that it makes his famous claim of being the "best rapper alive" worth considering.
Just thinking about it, while I'm writing this: I used to be inspired by music, but now I feel like so much music just agresses me. I remember there was good songs in so many different styles, from dance to rap, to rock, to pop. We always bashed new songs, and new artists in the past, but music has always had a certain standard of quality. How do you guys feel about it, personally, being music makers and lovers.ĭid pop music went too far in degradation? It sounds like a cheap ripoff of Blink 182 with AutoTune. It's so wrong I don't even know what to say. I mean, wtf? I can't even understand a word of what Lil' Wayne says. I'm trying to respect other artists' work because we all like different stuff. It's very rare that I "hate" as I think it's pretty much a waste of time, and when I see and/or hear something I don't feel, which happens a lot since the last couple of years, I just keep it to myself and move on.
