Lil Wayne Proves He’s Still the ‘Best Rapper Alive’ in Greenville
Lil Wayne brought his “20 Years of Carter Classics Tour” to Greenville on Saturday night. After the show was postponed a month earlier, the “best rapper alive” finally took the stage at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena to show off his immense catalog.
A video featuring the fictional Carter Building played, with news reporters’
voices describing unrest at the building. The reporters then went live to the scene, where a multistory brick building served as the backdrop onstage.
With DJ Tlew and drummer Yayo the One-Man Band already in position, Lil Wayne came out with a white guitar, playing along with the instrumental version of “Best Rapper Alive.” His guitar was blazing just as much as his show-long cigar. Weezy then transitioned into the fan favorite “A Milli.”
Lil Wayne addressed the capacity crowd, referring to himself as Lil Tunechi on behalf of Young Money Records: “I wanna say three important things about myself. Number one is I know that we all ain’t s–t without each other, you dig? F—–g beautiful. Number two is I know I ain’t s–t without you, you dig? Number three is a very important one. If you don’t remember s–t about tonight, please remember number 3. Number 3 is I ain’t s–t without you, you dig?”
Weezy got the show back on track with “I’m Goin’ In” and “Money on My Mind.” DJ Tlew instructed everyone to light up the place with their phones during “Drop the World.”
Lil Wayne dedicated “Let the Beat Build” to his day-one fans. Weezy was very gracious, sincerely saying “thank you” after each song. He would frequently say, “If you know this song, sing along,” and that’s exactly what his fans did.
Young Money artist Lil Twist came out full of energy for his “BM JR JR” and “Addict.”
Lil Wayne slowed things down “for the ladies” with “I’m Single,” “Love Me” and “She Will.” Of course, Lil Wayne, a rock star at heart, did some more string bending with his signature guitar.
Domiio, also of Young Money, joined Lil Wayne for a string of classics, including “Lollipop,” “Mrs. Officer,” “Mirror” and “How to Love.” Domiio then got a chance to perform “Bottle Service” and “Doing Alright.”
After driving the audience into a frenzy with “Uproar” and “No Worries,” Lil Wayne gave a shout-out to everyone behind the scenes who helped put the show together.
Lil Wayne asked if there were “any Weezy mixtape music fans out there? This is for you.” He then launched into “Surf Swag,” “Tunechi Rollin’,” “YM Wasted,” “Ride 4 My N—– (Sky is the Limit),” “I’m Me” and “Shoes.”
2 Chainz, who opened the show, joined Lil Wayne for a throwback to their 2013 collaboration “Rich as F—.” 2 Chainz continued alongside Lil Wayne for “Duffle Bag Boy.”
Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz then led the crowd in singing “Happy Birthday to You” in honor of “Iceman” Drake, who was celebrating his 40th birthday that same day. This birthday song was not to be confused with “Birthday Song” that 2 Chainz performed during his set.
Weezy kept the flow going with “La La,” “Every Girl,” “Loyal” and “Pop That.” Lil Wayne showcased some dance steps during “HYFR (Hell Ya F—— Right).” After instructing everyone to raise their middle fingers high to the sky, it was time for “Steady Mobbin’.”
To close out the show, Lil Wayne performed the crowd-pleaser “6 Foot 7 Foot.” Lil Tunechi repeated his three important things before saying, “We hope you had one hell of a m—– f—— time tonight!” Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” played as “the best rapper alive” exited the stage.
Lil Wayne absolutely proved why he has long been known as the “best rapper alive.” Fans from all walks of life filled the arena to witness the legendary rapper deliver a night packed with 20 years of hits, from celebrated solo material to iconic collaborations. With an extensive catalog, plenty of fan interaction and a few surprises along the way, Weezy gave Greenville a memorable night of Carter classics.
