The Evolution of Lil Wayne

Don't miss Lil Wayne's new video tonight on 106!

Lil Wayne, Tha Carter
Wobble - Back in the day, Juvenile had a smash called "Back That Thang Up" and Weezy had an itty, bitty part in the song, but that cameo that he made showed off his star quality and still has everybody rapping "now after you back it up den stop, now drop it like it's hot."(Photo: Courtesy Cash Money Records)
We Tha Best - Birdman had been screaming to deaf ears for years when he said Wayne was the best rapper out, and The Fireman brought those words into fruition after Tha Carter when he went on a radio and mixtape annihilation. With Wayne handling most of the writing, the two dropped their street-rocking collaborative effort, Like Father, Like Son, in 2006, which ended up taking home the 2007 BET Viewer's Choice Award. (Photo: Ron Galella, Ltd./WireImage)
Hurricane Season - The YMCMB boss showed he had talents on the big screen too, when he starred in 2009's Hurricane Season alongside Bow Wow, Forest Whitaker and Taraji P. Henson. He's also lent his voice-over talents to such television shows as The Boondocks and Freaknik: The Musical.(Photo: Chris Walter/WireImage for BET Network)Lil Wayne - "Georgia Bush"  - In a rare moment, New Orleans native Lil Wayne released “Georgia,” a mixtape track that critiqued President Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina. Weezy initially wanted to perform the song at the Grammys the year he won Best Rap Album of the Year but, for whatever reason, opted for a less politically-charged song.
