    Lil Wayne Tie My Hands Featuring Robin Thicke

    Lil Wayne is widely known as one of the greatest rappers to ever touch the mic. We can all agree that his run in the mid-200s was legendary. Lil Wayne has influenced a lot of the newer rappers of this generation. A few days ago, tha Carter III turned 15 years old.  Jay-Z, T-Pain, Fabolous, Robin Thicke, Busta Rhymes, Juelz Santana, Babyface, Bobby V, and Kanye West all made appearances. Tha Carter III debuted atop the Billboard charts by selling over a million records in its first week. From the middle of March to the end of September, Lil Wayne released five singles.

    Once again, we have arrived at another Thursday which means it’s closer to the weekend. We already know it’s time for another Throwback Thursday.

On Spotify, one of the playlists you’ll find my Cash Money Records compilation. This playlist is from earlier Cash Money like the Big Tymers, Hot Boyz, Juvenile and B.G. For my featured track, we’re going with Lil Wayne and his Carter II album. Hustler Musik is the track and it was the second…

    Lil Wayne Block is Hot Released 20 Years Ago Today

    The debut album from Lil Wayne, The Block is Hot turns 20-years-old today. As we all know, Lil Wayne has turned into this iconic figure over the years. 20 years later, Lil Wayne has dropped 12 studio albums and countless mixtapes. Wayne has also been a part of some compilations, dropped a couple EPs and was a member of the Hot Boys.

    Tha Carter from Lil Wayne Turns 15 Years Old Today

    Tha Carter from Lil Wayne turns 15-years-old today. Tha Carter was his fourth solo album and it was the start of Lil Wayne becoming a megastar. Seeing I’m a huge hip hop head, I’ve followed Lil Wayne ever since he was a teenager with the Hot Boys. Two years prior, Lil Wayne dropped 500 Degreez which was sort of a jab at Juvenile. With Tha Carter, Lil Wayne started to grow more as a rapper and his schemes matured in the process. Sometimes people tend to forget that Wayne was only 21 when this album dropped. A couple years prior is when people started noticing Lil Wayne with those classic…

    The Carter 3 From Lil Wayne Released 10 Years Ago

    It’s hard to believe that its been 10 years since the release of the Carter 3. To back even further, it’s hard to believe that Lil Wayne has been in the game over 20 years now. I’ve been a fan of Wayne since the Hot Boys days and he took over the game with those mixtapes he released. Many people don’t remember those Sqad-Up days where he was dropping he damn near every week. Lil Wayne started his Carter series in 2004 with the release of The Carter. The following year, he released The Carter 2 and like the previous Carter, it was well-received. Between releasing The Carter 2 and…

    Lil Wayne The Carter IV Album Review

      Well before getting started I’ve listened to Wayne since the Hot Boys dropped Get It How U Live album along with B.G, Juvenile and Turk. So I’ve followed him a long time so I’m not going to bore you anymore and get straight to the review. The first Carter album made me become more of a Wayne fan. The Carter 2 felt like a continuation of the first one as it was a dope album also. The Carter 3 wasn’t as nice as the first two, but it still was a good album though.   1. Intro- He just spitting a few bars, nice intro where he just spitting…

They dropped their only studio album CrazyNDaLazDayz 25 years ago today. CrazyNDaLazDayz went gold and it was a solid album. They had several features and some of them…

    UGK is one of the most influential groups or duos to ever touch the mic. Unfortunately, Chad Butler aka Pimp C passed away in December of 2007.

    Rick Ross Released Port of Miami 15 Years Ago

    Rick Ross is one of the better rappers we’ve seen over the last 20 years. To be honest, Ross has one of the better discographies of any rapper to ever touch the mic. It all started 15 years ago when Rick Ross released his debut album, Port of Miami. The platinum selling Port of Miami first single was a mega-hit when it was released. Hustlin’ was the name and it was one of the biggest hits of the summer of 2006. Hustlin’ went platinum and even had Jay-Z and Jeezy on the remix. Push It was the only other single released off the Port of Miami. Unfortunately, Push It didn’t…

    The Sound of Revenge by Chamillionaire Turns 15

    Chamillionaire was one of the dopest mixtape rappers not only in Texas, but everywhere. His Mixtape Messiah series is legendary and he was damn good at marketing himself. Nowadays, Chamillionaire is deep in investing and no longer puts out music. 15 years ago today, Chamillionaire dropped his major label debut, The Sound of Revenge. Bun B, Scarface, Killer Mike, Lil Wayne, Pastor Troy and Krayzie Bone all appeared on The Sound of Revenge. Turn It Up was his first single and it featured another Texas artist in Lil Flip.
