Lil Wayne
Not only one of the best rappers of his generation, Lil Wayne is arguably the biggest story in music for 2008. Lil Wayne's sixth album "Tha Carter III" sold over 1 million copies in its first week of release, a feat not achieved since 2005's "The Massacre" by 50 Cent. "Tha Carter III" has blazed up the singles charts as well with three top-ten singles in "Lollipop," "A Milli" and "Got Money." In addition to the platinum debut numbers for the CD, Lil Wayne is a tireless performer so prolific that in 2007, Vibe magazine ranked and graded songs to which Lil Wayne contributed and the list was 77 songs long. Lil Wayne is a constant presence on the internet, releasing his own mixtapes for free on a regular basis. Lil Wayne has been one of GQ's "Men of the Year" for 2007 and was named the "Best Rock Star Alive" by Blender magazine (2008). Rolling Stone may have said it best: "The self-proclaimed greatest rapper proves he wasn't kidding."
