So often we find artists getting caught up in the mainstream hoopla of what sells to white America and what doesn't. One person worth mentioning in this conversation is Lil Wayne. It took so many albums for him to win his first grammy for 'Lollipop' pretty much. If you're the self-proclaimed 'best rapper alive', it's good to have your recognition to have Grammy's to define your career but it's almost a slap in the face. The puns and lyrical content for 'Lollipop' ranks probably a 2 on a 10 point scale. Though Wayne makes his music to please the mainstream charts, he still releases music (most of the time free music) to his followers and fellow Wayne-heads.
Here are my to 3 lyrically enriched songs that he's ever produced. Enjoy!
Lil Wayne - I'm Me
Lil Wayne - Best Rapper Alive
Lil Wayne - Sky's The Limit
