Top 10 Popular Songs by Lil Wayne [The Best Rapper Alive]
CongraturationsDrake Ft. Lil Wayne8rank/position

Drake is a globally popular rapper, and he’s hugely popular in Japan as well.
This classic track “Congraturations” by him and fellow globally respected rapper Lil Wayne is a great example.
Since there’s no Japanese translation available, I don’t know the exact lyrics, but given that it’s hip-hop, it’s probably themed around congratulating a close friend on their success.
There’s a lot of slang, so translating it into Japanese would be difficult, but if you’re interested, definitely check out the lyrics yourself.
HYFR (Hell Ya Fucking Right)Drake Ft. Lil Wayne9rank/position

A collaboration between Canadian rapper Drake and American rapper Lil Wayne.
It samples E.S.G.’s 1994 track “Swangin and Bangin.” The music video, directed by Director X, features appearances by Birdman and DJ Khaled.
ForeverDrake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem10rank/position

The 2009 classic “Forever,” featuring Canadian rapper Drake alongside world-famous rappers Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West—central figures in the hip-hop scene—also made waves in Japan, and today feels like an unbelievably rare collaboration.
They rap sharp, pointed lyrics about their own backgrounds, yet the song also conveys a certain sense of loneliness and melancholy.
The dynamic ebb and flow unique to a collaboration feels great, making it a perfect track for a summer night.

As the title suggests, she passionately sings lyrics that say “I’m crazy about you” with her sultry, soaring voice.
It’s a song about a woman in mature love—not only fun to listen to, but the music video, featuring a sexy dance, is a must-see.

Fireworks feat. Young JeezyLil Wayne14rank/position

When you think of songs about fireworks, you tend to imagine gentle ballads, right? But there are also intense hip-hop tracks out there.
The one I’d like to introduce is “Fireworks feat.
Young Jeezy.” It’s a work by the rapper Lil Wayne featuring Jeezy.
The lyrics are somewhat provocative, conveying his own career, and fireworks are used as a metaphor within them.
Give it a listen and see if you can guess what the fireworks are meant to symbolize.
