It is crazy to believe that anyone could be so successful in jail. Well, for rapper, producer and songwriter Lil Wayne, the unbelievable is possible. The famous rapper was charged with possession of a weapon and sent to jail on Oct. 23, 2009.
Prior to going to jail, he had been working on many tracks, in which he planned to release. With the commotion of jail, and federal trials, he could not completely edit all the tracks and release them.
Little by little, many of his songs found their way to Youtube and were being heard and leaked to many out there. One of the most famous songs “Right Above It” gave his fans a glimpse of what was yet to come, and created excitement to all.
He finally released “I Am Not A Human Being” the extended play (EP) on Sept. 27, 2010 digitally and recently released the physical version on Oct. 12, 2010.
It looks like Wayne’s time in jail might have  affected his writing. One of his tracks on the EP is uniquely named “Gonorrhea.” I am not so sure what kind of experiences he had in jail, but they don’t sound too pleasing. He also shares the track “What’s Wrong With Them” with the fierce Nicki Minaj. Although I am not the biggest fan of Minaj, the collaboration works for them.
Lil Wayne has always been known to be a mastermind when it comes to the new generation of rap music, and is probably the reason it has changed so much in the recent years.
Being the bad boy he is, he has always had issues with drugs, weapons, and other illegal activities. Through it all, his fans have always stayed loyal to him. No wonder he is so successful. The guy could kill someone, and somehow would always have people wanting more of him.
It was as if he had not even left the music scene for a bit. Once released in less than a month, I am sure he will be back to making more hits.
