Based on this claim, Lil Wayne began his rap career in 1993, or when he was 10 or 11 years old. This is probably a bit of a stretch, considering his first appearance on a studio album was in 1995, when he collaborated with B.G. on his album True Story.

Regardless, Weezy has been in the game for over a decade and clearly had yet to peak when he released this song and Dedication 2 in 2006.

Dedication 2 is the mixtape that featured this freestyle. It is considered one of Lil Wayne’s best works.

It is a cross between the words “vibrant” and “vivacious,” which are actually synonyms to begin with.

Nancy Sinatra is the daughter of famous singer Frank Sinatra. “Dedication 2” samples her cover of Cher’s hit song “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).”

Despite the title of the song, it is not actually about people getting shot (could you imagine Sonny shooting anyone?).
