Putting the spotlight on Lil Wayne's vast catalog, for the culture. Aspiring Hip-Hop journalist.

Hip-Hop twitter constantly refers to Weezy's musical output in 2008 to be one of the greatest runs any artist has ever had, but so many great gems are left out of the conversation when people look back at this time!

30 Minutes To New Orleans - Lil Wayne (2008)

Brand New (Remix) - Drake & Lil Wayne (2009)
Unreleased remix of the song off Drake's "So Far Gone" mixtape. The duo's chemistry even in their early days is undeniable, as they both glide over D10's production with their slow melodies.

Bitch Please - Yung Berg, Lil Wayne & Brisco (2008)
Released on the mixtape Passport Swag by mega-producer Hitmaka, who rose to fame rapping under the name Yung Berg. Wayne mixes an array of flows and auto-tune on one of earliest showcases of the modern sound he inspired.

Money Ova Here - Stack$ & Lil Wayne (2008)
Florida-bred Stack$ grabs a feature from Wayne for his debut single. Together they cooked up a money making anthem which samples Jeezy's "Over Here" on the hook. Crazy how hard Wayne goes even on relatively unknown artists songs.

[Weezy Hub @WeezyHub]

Blinded - Lil Wayne & Starr (2008)
A song which samples "Blinded by the light" by Manfred Manns' Earth Band on the production and chorus. Wayne incorparates the chorus into his verse, if the girl around him is shining too, they'd leave everyone blinded in the light!

[Weezy Hub @WeezyHub]

Nina - Lil Wayne (2008)
A clever allegory where Wayne uses his lyrics about his newest freak as a symbol to profess his love for one of his heaters, in this case his trusty .380.

[Weezy Hub @WeezyHub]

Let It Rock - Kevin Rudolf & Lil Wayne (2008)
The debut single of new Cash Money signee & rap/rock artist Kevin Rudolf. Song went 4x platinum in the US. Wayne's feature introduced to the mainstream his new venture into the rock genre, leading up to the his album Rebirth

Girls Around The World - Lloyd & Lil Wayne (2008)
Lloyd serenades an unnamed lover on the third single off his album Lessons in Love. Lil Wayne remixes Rakim's verse from "Paid in Full". Slick Rick's vocals are sampled on the chorus. Prod. by Big Reese & Jasper Cameron

Sunshine - Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne & Babyface (2008)
A track off Nicki Minaj's 2nd mixtape Sucka Free, and remix to Jay Z's Always be My Sunshine. After forming her core fanbase with her first release, Sucka Free was marketed to have a broader appeal to the whole Hip-Hop community

[Weezy Hub @WeezyHub]

Best Thing Yet - Lil Wayne (2008)
This soulful throwaway from Tha Carter III samples Anita Baker's vocals from "You're the Best Thing Yet". Wayne's metaphors are on full display; also touching on how hes starting to gain the props he deserves in other genres besides rap

[Weezy Hub @WeezyHub]

Best Friend - Lil Wayne & Money
Lil Wayne assists Swizz Beatz early artist Money by providing high energy hook, while cleverly proclaiming his love of money using a double entendre to also give props to Money (the rapper).

[Weezy Hub @WeezyHub]

Arab Money (Remix) - Busta Rhymes, Lil Wayne, Ron Browz, Diddy, Swizz Beatz, Akon & T-Pain (2008) -
The first of three remixes of the lead single off Busta Rhyme's 2008 Album "Back on My B.S.". This version of the song uses arabic in some of the verses unlike the original.

[Weezy Hub @WeezyHub]

The American Dream (2008)- Lil Wayne & Mike Tyson
One of Wayne's earliest sport crossover songs, this time paying tribute to Mike Tyson who is featured on the interludes. Wayne delivers one of his most iconic hooks for the first, time that has been reused for other songs.

[Weezy Hub @WeezyHub]

Ain't Sayin Nothin (Remix) - Fat Joe, Lil Wayne, The Game & Dre (2008)
The remix to the second single off Fat Joe's 8th studio album. Wayne always brings gangster bars when working with Fat Joe, while Fat Joe himself fits in a reference to his and Game's beef with 50 Cent.
