Lil Wayne spent years campaigning to be the “best rapper alive,” dropping the reference endlessly throughout his recordings and freestyle rhymes. Now, as he puts the final touches on his rock debut, Rebirth, due in June, the Cash Money lyricist is wailing a different tune.

“Honestly? I don’t want to be the best rapper in the world,” Wayne told Rolling Stonein an upcoming cover story arriving on newsstands Friday. “If I have a rap album I’m dropping, then I want it to be the best rap album. But I want to be the best. Period. Now. My favorite rapper hasn’t done what I’m doing.”

In the profile, Wayne explains what led to his transition from rap to rock music. As his celebrity began to rise, he started to experience a life unlike anything he could rap about, he said. He described one particular night when he bedded multiple women and thought in the morning, “This is who I am now.”

“The rock sh– just comes from what my life is now. I’ve grown into this person,” Wayne told the magazine. “I woke up one morning and had three or four women in my bed where I not only didn’t know their last names, I didn’t know the beginning letter of their first names. All I know is, they’re the most beautiful women in the world, and I was in my own place, in whatever city I as in. And I could have thrown a dart at the map, and I’d probably have a place there too. I knew my driver was waiting downstairs for me. When my nose finally cleared from all the weed I had smoked, I smelled food in the kitchen and I knew it was my chef. Then I look on my phone and see a message and know it’s from a popular woman everyone knows. And when I went in the studio that night, I couldn’t just rap, ‘Yeah, n—a … .’ “

Cash Money superstar Lil Wayne owned the show at the 2009 Grammy Awards netting four awards including Best Rap Album for his multi-platinum record Tha Carter III. With a total of eight nominations – more than any other artist – Weezy F. was the standout performer at the most prestigious musical event of the year.

“Lollipop” featuring Static Major won the title for Best Rap Song and “A Milli” took home Best Solo Rap Performance. Lil Wayne also won for his performance on “Swagga Like Us” by T.I. featuring Kanye West, Jay-Z, M.I.A. and Lil Wayne. These are Wayne’s first Grammys for one of his own records.

Rapper Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III” was far and away the top-selling CD of 2008, netting 2.88 million copies. However, it’s the first time the bestselling album of the year has sold fewer than 3 million copies since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. CD sales have been down as digital music sales are on the rise through websites like ITunes and Amazon.com. Coldplay was a distant second with “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends” at 2.15 million, followed by Taylor Swift’s “Fearless,” Kid Rock’s “Rock N Roll Jesus,” and AC/DC’s “Black Ice.”

Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. is no longer just your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. In fact, considering the way he’s been carrying around a guitar lately, you could be forgiven for wondering if he event wants to be a rapper anymore. But the fact remains that for 12 long months, no one dominated hip-hop like Wayne did. No one sold more records, generated more headlines or appeared on as many tracks. No one flooded the market with as much product, and — in a genre loaded with compelling characters — no one was as mercurial, controversial, hilarious and, well, bizarre as Weezy was.

Not to mention, when you move 1 million copies of an album in one week, it’s pretty safe to say you’ve crossed over to the mainstream. Wayne most definitely was hip-hop in 2008, but he was pop culture too.

Ther have been multiple reports that Lil Wayne as well as TI have died.  We have read everything from a drug over dose to being gunned down.  WeezyFBaby.net is happy to report that Lil Wayne is alive and well.

Lil Wayne performed a solo of “A Milli” and then “Got Money” with T-Pain.  Then he sang a song with Kid Rock showing quite a bit of diversity in his singing ability.  Weezy F Baby took the show.
