Lil wayne the carter 1 album songs series#
Tha Carter IV, the next installment of his series of albums, was his third chart-topping album, selling almost 1 million copies within the first week of its release. The first was a collaboration project with those signed to his label, the second a reissue of Tha Carter III with additional recordings, and the third a solo project released during his one year prison sentence for gun possession.
He went on to release three more albums before dropping the next in the Tha Carter series: We Are Young Money, Rebirth, and I Am Not A Human Being.
The album won three Grammy awards: Best Rap Solo Performance for the song “A Milli,” Best Rap Song for “Lollipop,” and Best Rap Album. All three albums were met with critical and commercial success.Īlthough Wayne would continue to gain mainstream popularity throughout the early 2000s, his album Tha Carter III, released in 2008, was one of the rapper’s first huge hits. Over the span of two years, Weezy released Tha Carter, Tha Carter II, and Like Father, Like Son, the latter of which was a collaboration project with Birdman. It was during this time that Tunechi made major advancements in his career and image. Under this label, the rapper began releasing his own music and cultivated a community of artists he believed in, including Drake and Nicki Minaj. In 2003, Wayne launched Young Money Entertainment, a joint venture label with Cash Money. Tunechi’s subsequent albums ( Lights Out and 500 Degreez) failed to reach the level of success of his first but were certified gold. Lil Wayne’s first studio album, Tha Block Is Hot, debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 200 chart and was certified platinum when he was just 17 years old. They would release one project, Get It How U Live!, before Wayne signed a solo recording deal with the label in 1998. From there, the duo became part of the label’s quartet Hot Boyz, along with Juvenile and Young Turk. In 1995, Wayne joined the label as one half of the group B.G.’z.
From that point on, Baby became Weezy’s mentor and father figure (and eventually his boss after signing him to Cash Money). At just 11 years old, Wayne met Bryan “Baby” Williams (Birdman), rapper and co-owner of Cash Money Records at a local record store. Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., known to most of us as Lil Wayne, was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana.
