Guest List: Lil Wayne in the '10s

In the ‘10s, the ever-iconoclastic Lil Wayne assumed the status of elder statesman. He continued his run of delirious guest verses, but his beneficiaries were often protégés—Young Money rappers like Drake and Nicki Minaj. Songs like the slinky “The Motto” or the cool victory lap “I'm On One” show a fierce talent mellowing without relinquishing any of the strange charisma that makes him great.
