He is rap megastar, he has found huge mainstream success but also maintains a large loyal following in less mainstream Hip Hop communities. About Song: As mentioned earlier Lil Wayne has it it big in the mainstream with several platinum CDs but this track is from one of his highly acclaimed No Ceilings Mixtape. This tape came out around halloween of 2009 and pushed back hard against critics who said lil Wayne had sold out and relied only on his persona and auto-tune to gain popularity. No Ceilings is a solid showcase of lil Wayne’s skills over a number of beats that were popular at the time including the Black Eyed Peas’ I Gotta Feeling. This particular song is a remix of Twista’s Wetter. Other It’s been a long time since I listened to No Ceilings but I heard it again the other day and had to put something from it up. ALSO there are a ton of other great songs from No Ceilings (Download the tape here) Lil Wayne Wikipedia Narcicyst Official Website
