Current Event: Lil Wayne

Rapper Lil Wayne is the biggest star in the US, with "Tha Carter III" being the last album to sell a million copies in a week for the past decade and having formed the hot, new group Young Money. Everyone knows or has heard about Lil Wayne, but now that he is going to jail we have seen less and less of him. He is going to jail because of illegal gun possession and this will cause him to do one thing in life that he has always avioded, stopping. Many people consider him the hardest working artist in the music industry and now that he is going to jail he is working everynight till four in the morning. He has been featured on almost every hot song on the radio, has just released a new album and has formed the group Young Money. When asked about what he lloks in for people that he hires, his answer was work ethic and this is no surprise. Even though he is going to jail this won't stop him, just slow him down. He will still be working in jail on his upcoming album "The Carter IV", because they allow ipods in jail. And even outside of prison people who work for him will be making new songs and new Young Money songs will feature him in Autotune. Lil Wayne will be in commercials, videos, songs and other things. The main thing that Lil Wayne whats to do is to not be forgotten. He and his associates or doing everything to have America remember him. I think that what he is doing is smart, people won't completely forget about him, and it is hard not to. Everytime I turn on the radio I hear a song featuring him. What he is doing is smart a good move for his career.
