Lil Wayne has been holding things down for more than two decades. The iconic rap star’s lengthy career was built on not only hot songs and platinum albums, but also classic mixtapes. Mixtapes, which have continued to showcase the Fireman’s ability to outrap the competition, have played an undeniable role in his ascent to one of the greatest artists of his generation. Fresh off of the release of the third installment of Wayne’s cult classic tape No Ceilings, ULTRA takes a trip down memory lane with some of the best of Mixtape Weezy.
