People have a tendency to look at the worst in people. They especially have that tendency when the people are stars who have made millions of dollars in the rap industry. I have seen and recorded “the worst” but I choose to focus on the best. Lil Wayne is NOT a success because he spews explicits, demeans Black women and jumps up and down on stage with his shirt off… anyone can do that. Lil Wayne is successful because Dwayne Carterapplies principles of substance underneath the symbol of the rapper. Because of those principles (that I have adapted to lessons within this book) he is without a doubt one of the greatest recording artist of our time and will literally live forever in the minds of those who have grown up on his music. I have personally gained from his words while videotaping his life for years, from the Carter I album through to the Carter III. These lessons that have come during nationwide tours, while at his home, on private jets, on our way to jail, overseas and more. Words spoken after the groupies had left, the security had turned in for the night, and his entourage was out doin' them. Just him, me, and the camera. No matter what and where you are in life this book contains lessons WE ALL can benefit from!
