Lil' Wayne's Album Debuts at #1
So what you ask? Many parents have probably never heard of Lil' Wayne. Well, here's your education. Lil' Wayne isn't new, in fact he's been around the rap scene since '97 when he was part of the rap group "Hot Boyz". The reason this is blog worthy is because he just dropped his first album, and it blew everything else out of the water. Billboard reported in this article that his album "Tha Carter III" debuted at #1 selling 1 million albums in 1 weeks time. This is the first time in 3 years that this many albums were sold (the last album to do that was 50 cent's, "The Massacre"). If you were wondering what what genre of music is America's favorite, wonder no more. Rolling Stone posted their review of his album here. So, what do we do this info? We need to understand what Lil' Wayne is preaching....cause he is preaching. Walt Mueller did a review of his first single off "Tha Carter III", which was titled "Lollipop"(he calls them 3-D reviews). Mueller does a great job of giving you the information and then answering the question, "what do we do now?" You can also preview the songs on iTunes, which I did, and was easily able to tell what kind of lyrics filled his raps. I love music, but there is some stuff out there you just shouldn't listen too as a follower of Jesus. Bottom line: This is one of those albums.
