Best of Rock 2008: Lil Wayne

4/21/08, 12:40 pm EST

Even dyed-in-the-wool rock apologists are likely to tip their hats to Lil Wayne. Over the course of a handful of studio albums and a mountain of underground mixtapes, the New Orleans native has declared himself “the best rapper alive” (and he’s probably right). For more on Lil Wayne, check out the profile from Rolling Stone’s Best of Rock 2008, including a sample platter of some of Weezy’s best freestyles.

@least he is trying to be more of a traditional/diverse “artist”, by learning to play the guitar and making the bold move to shift from what made him popular and release a rock-influenced album this year titled ‘rebirth’ 1)
And dont hate wayne for the history of rap. u learn from your elders and the father figure 4 wayne would be a grown-man who calls himself “birdman” and asks to be adressed as “Baby” because aparently the name brian just doesnt cut it… A+ for wayne

-WithThatSaid… A+ 4 Wayne
