Lil Wayne, Kanye West Make Time's Influential Person List - DaShadyBoard.com

ljyankee2 · 04-30-2009, 12:37 AM

Rapper Lil Wayne has made his way onto a number of well-known lists since the release of his top-selling album Tha Carter III . But now Lil Wayne has managed to take the number 12 spot on Time magazine’s “World’s Most Influential Person” list.

As Time’s 12th most influential person, Lil Wayne beat out both Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey who clenched the 37th and 98th spot on the list.

“His Grammy-winning, multi-platinum album, Tha Carter III, was the perfect showcase for Wayne’s raw, hilarious, and often outer-planetary rap style,” Time explains of Lil Wayne. “And his Southern-gentleman act is legit, as evidenced by his slightly flirty interview with Katie Couric.”

The finalists for the list were chosen through a poll featured on Time’s website. Lil Wayne received close to 940,000 votes and the number one spot on the list was given to Christopher Poole, the founder of 4chan.org, he received almost 17 million votes.

Other music artists and innovators to make it onto Time’s list include rapper M.I.A., Prince, the Twitter inventors, and Kanye West.

Currently, Lil Wayne is awaiting the release of his album Rebirth which is expected to be released this year.
