[Skit]
You have now reached the end of side A. It's time to turn over, wait turn over? Get a fuckin' CD, asshole. So bring your ass down to fuckin' Sound Advice, pick up a fuckin' CD player, and go to fuckin' Sam Goody, buy the fuckin' CD. Stop copying shit on cassettes, you fuckin' loser and play this shit right. And if you ain't feelin' it, then you're fucked up, you're deaf. So that shit better rattle your fuckin' trunk, better make your fuckin' eardrums bleed. Better make the neighbors go, "What the fuck is? What's so loud? Is there a party at the house?" No, it's fuckin' Lil Wayne's album rockin' this shit, motherfucker

Lil Wayne

Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., better known by his stage name Lil Wayne, grew up in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana.

At the age of nine, Lil Wayne joined Cash Money Records as the youngest member of the label, and half of the duo, The B.G.‘z, with B.G.. In 1997, Lil Wayne joined the group Hot Boys, which also included rappers Juvenile, B.G., and Young Turk. Lil Wayne gained most of his success with the group’s major selling album Guerrilla Warfare, released in 1999. He has been listed in the 2012 Guinness Book Of World Records for the record of Most US Hot 100 Hits By A Rap Artist with 64 hits between 1999 and 2010.

Wayne is famous for his command of slow, witty lines and metaphorical jokes. His discography includes a slew of successful mixtapes, including Dedication 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6; No Ceilings; and Da Drought 3. His albums consistently garner acclaim, with Tha Carter series all platinum hits. Tha Carter series has been a work of Wayne’s for 13 years and continues to grow with the fifth installment, Tha Carter V released in 2018 (however, it was initially supposed to be released in late 2014). Wayne keeps a regular recording schedule, with studio booths in his tour bus, home, and following him everywhere.
