The Start of Lil Wayne


Dwayne Carter, better known as Lil Wayne, found himself rapping at an early age. He was born into an extremely poor family in New Orleans. Early in his childhood his family left his mother and him to live on their own. I bet know that he is famous, his dad regrets doing that. He began rapping at the age eight. This to me is pretty impressive because if you think back, at age eight we were learning in school how to write sentences. It turns out that he was good at writing songs because a couple years later he signed with Young Money Records. I believe he is the youngest member to have joined this group. It is so crazy how people can go from being so poor they have nothing to becoming famous. I love it! As much as I like and admire Lil Wayne.. I have to say he is not the brightest of them all. In his early years he decided it might be fun to play with a gun and accidentally shot himself. He had to be taken to the hospital. I am not sure why his parents did not teach him that he is not supposed to play with guns, I figured this was common sense. Even though he is so famous today, he never got the chance to finish high school. His career took off when he was still in high school and had to pick what he loved more. I proably would have picked fame and fortune too!

  1. Kelsey, I never knew that Lil Wayne shot himself. I found that very interesting. Good job on picking a topic about something current. As far as your blog, I would suggest adding more life. I want to be exited about the information you put in your blog. Maybe add a nice background picture of a microphone or even Lil' Wayne himself, that would be fun.

  2. I like this this blog, and it really could be a chance for me to find out how one can make it to success through a lot of trails and tribulations. I would suggest talking about some of his hard point throughout his life, so those who could relate can have motivation.
