Everybody is always talking about Lil Wayne and fans around the world are mad that Tha Carter V didn’t come last month. But, most of these fans don’t realize just how long Lil Wayne has been in the game. Many of the veterans who Lil Wayne is compared to, he’s been around longer than.

Initially, Juvenile was the star of Cash Money Records and the Hot Boyz leader. In 1999, Lil Wayne finally got the chance to release his debut album, Tha Block Is Hot. The album was led by the title single, which features Juvenile and B.G.

Tha Block Is Hot ended up going platinum and the lead single is considered a Southern classic. Lil Wayne, obviously, went on to become one of the biggest stars in the game and consistently one of the top five rappers in the game. In the first Wednesday Throwback of 2015, it was fitting to throw it back to some classic Lil Wayne from 1999.
