Lil'' Wayne on Guitar

The Life Files


A rapper with a guitar is a rare thing to see, so when Lil'' Wayne played on stage this weekend, the act garnered a lot of attention. Lil'' Wayne, one of the biggest names in rap today, didn''t impress everyone, however, with one blog calling him, "an atrocious guitar player."

And per reader''s request, Run DMC''s "Rock Box."
