Around 2004 Lil Wayne (Dwayne Carter Jr) took his talent to a whole
nother level and grabbed hip hop or Aka "The Music Game" around the
neck at that time and held it for over 8 to 10 years
straight until opening the door for Nicki and
Drake in "Young Money Records" to come in and become global superstars..
