New Orleans. Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. 'Tha Carter II / III / IV' — the mixtape Weezy era ('Da Drought 3,' 'No Ceilings') that rewrote what 'rapper as guitarist' could mean and produced one of the great runs in rap history. Young Money kingpin (he signed Drake and Nicki Minaj). 'Tha Carter III' moved over a million in its first week. The closest thing rap has to a freelance demigod, the closest thing rap has to a shredder lead guitarist. Most-imitated, most-cited rapper for half a decade. Hall of Fame, immediate ballot.
