Lil Wayne
Rupp Arena 430 W Vine Street, Lexington, Kentucky 40507
Lil Wayne began his career as a near-novelty: a pre-teen delivering hardcore Southern hip-hop. Through years of maturation and prolific output, during which the delivery of his humorous and wordplay-heavy rhymes gradually changed from ringing and pugnacious to stoned and rasped, he developed into a million-unit-selling artist with a massive body of work, one so inventive and cunning that it makes his claim of being the “best rapper alive” worth considering.
