Today (September 27th) is Lil Wayne’s 29th birthday, and you might be surprised at how he kicked off his born day. Instead of hitting the club, Weezy was hard at work in the studio recording more new music. No word on what he plans on getting into tonight, but here’s the tweet he sent at around midnight when he realized it was his birthday: RELATED POSTS: Lil Wayne Wasted On Lean?

This summer the club and radio was rockin’ with tunes from Drake, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, and Rick Ross. Peep who else kept it hot in the streets! As 100 degree weather gives way to cooler temperatures and Autumn knocks at our front doors, it’s time to say goodbye to the summer of 2011. This was the summer Maybach Music Group brought “Tupac Back,” Lil Wayne showed us “How To Love,” DJ Khaled, Rick Ross & YMCMB had the whole country “On One” and a white girl from the Bay Area associated “Gucci Gucci” with all the basic chicks. Needless to say, this summer was one to remember. Read more at HipHopWired
‘I probably felt at that time that I was rebelling and I could associate myself with that,’ Weezy tells MTV News of Seattle grunge band. By Rob Markman Lil Wayne Photo: MTV News Long before Lil Wayne was living his rock-star dreams onstage, he was at home — like many other kids his age — rocking out to Nirvana . “I was a real big fan of that,” Weezy told MTV News’ Sway after his MTV “Unplugged” taping earlier this year. The multiplatinum rapper — who released his first rock-inspired album Rebirth in 2010 — recalled the impact that Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain had on him. It all started with The Box, a now-defunct cable station that was fueled by fans’ phoned-in music video requests. For Wayne, it was rare to see a rock and roll video, especially one that he could identify with. ” ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ was one of the only rock songs that would come on, and you’ll be like, ‘That one is OK, I can deal with that one,’ ” he recalled. On Saturday, the Seattle grunge band’s breakout album, Nevermind, turns 20 . And while singles like “Come as You Are,” “Lithium” and “In Bloom” helped make Nevermind a classic, it was “Smells Like Teen Spirit” that made music fans across the world take notice. Nirvana was bigger than just rock. Maybe it was the loud guitars, the punk-style wardrobe or Cobain’s long hair, but something attracted Wayne when he first saw the video as a kid in 1991. Interestingly enough, the Cash Money Billionaire now plays guitar , dresses with a punk-inspired swag and swings his long dreads onstage. But if you let Weezy tell it, it’s the lyrics to “Teen Spirit” that he most identified with. “Because I was young and I actually listened to the lyrics, and I probably felt at that time that I was rebelling and I could associate myself with that and relate to the things [Cobain] was talking about and speaking about in the song,” Tunechi remembered. “I probably couldn’t, but I thought I could.” Share your memories of Nevermind in the comments below! Stick with MTV News all week as we reveal the Nevermind You Never Knew , celebrating the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s definitive album with classic footage, new interviews and much more.

When Lil Wayne sold a million units of “Tha Carter III” in 2008, the number was impressive but not shocking. Weezy was on fire, and songs like “A Milli” and “Lollipop” made the album highly anticipated. The sales of CDs have been on a steady decline as digital music has gained popularity. As a result, many of music’s biggest stars have a hard time selling 1 million CDs during the promotional run of the project. So for anyone to sell that many copies in a week beyond huge. Lil Wayne’s follow up “Tha Carter IV” was released digitally after the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards aired on August 28th (the night he rocked leopard print jeggings), and it sold 362,000 copies. Plus, it broke iTunes’ record for the most album sales in a single week, dethroning Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Watch The Throne” after only three weeks. “Tha Carter IV” was forecast to sell about 850,000 digital and physical copies combined, but Lil Wayne beat that number easily by selling 964,000 in CDs alone, according to Billboard.com . (Digital and CD sales combined bring “Tha Carter IV” to over 1.3 million units sold in one week.) Did Lil Wayne actually sell that many copies? He’s not as hot now as he was when he sold 1.1 million copies of “Tha Carter III” in one week back in 2008. “How To Love” and “She Will” are number 7 and 17, respectively on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, but their buzz doesn’t match the heat “A Milli” and “Lollipop” generated. Did Cash Money Records, the label Lil Wayne’s signed to, purchase copies to boost the record sales so Weezy could have the bragging rights of selling over a million units in one week twice? Or did Weezy really do what seemed like the impossible? Cash Money CEO Birdman denies this rumor during an interview with Sway on his Shade 45 morning show by stating, “That’s hustling backwards; we ain’t in it for that.” We want to know what you think. Did Lil Wayne’s team help him by buying up copies of “Tha Carter IV” or not? Let us know what you think in the comments section below!
