Lil Wayne: ’I’m Not a Human Being II’ Album Review Lil Wayne was a full blown hip hop star back in the mid to late 2000’s. This New Orleans native hasn’t gained the same height since The Carter III. Since that album Lil Wayne has been on the down slope of his music making fans and music lovers nervous. Hearing him slowly lose his credibility left me numb‚ especially since he was one of the first artists who introduced me to Hip-Hop.
