WAYNE ALL THE WAY!

Through out our poetry class, we've discussed several poets who've began writing while still children, like Gwendolyn Brooks.Brook's published her first poem in a magazine at thirteen, and so began her career. Over the weekend I was watching the True Hollywood Story of Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne, Dwayne Michael Charter Jr, signed with Cash Money Records at the age of nine! At the age of two his parents divorced and his father abandoned the family. Carter's mother knew her son had something special, so she enrolled him in the gifted program at elementary school. In middle school he was also placed in the gifted program, but he dropped out of school to focus on his music. From 1997-1999 Lil Wayne, 15, was apart of the group The Hot Boys.

He was featured in several songs at the time, but one Im sure we allllll know is Back That Thang Up by Juvenile. On his 2004 album, The Carter, Lil Wayne worked with are Destiny's Child for their song(Soldier).After that album he did not realse another album for two years but made apperances on several friends hits; Chris Brown, Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, Lloyd, Akon, and others. Wayne's most popular ablum to date is The Carter III.
In the first week alone the album sold over a million copies! The record's Bilboard hits were Lollipop and Got Money. Lil Wayne's album, Rebirth, which is his debut rock album! He learned how to play guitar for just this. For breaking out of his comfort zone, Rolling Stone put them as their cover artist.

On MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, season six was 'The Season of the Stars", Lil Wayne was on of the artists who the crews had to dance to. For Carter's future, he currently has just finished his final tour. He plans to retire from his rapping career in order to spend time with his children.
