Birdman was born and raised in Uptown New Orleans. With his brother Ronald "Slim" Williams, Birdman founded Cash Money Records in 1991. He used his first moniker B-32 (Baby with the 32 Golds) and released his only independent album I Need a Bag of Dope in 1993.

Bryan "Birdman" Williams is quoted as saying "I Want To Be A Billionaire Like Michael Jackson". Believe you and me if anyone can be its Birdman. This rapper is all about business. His label Cash Money Records reads like the whos who of rappers, with artists such as Lil' Wayne, Jay Sean, Kevin Rudolf not to mention all of the artists that feature them. It seems like Birdman and Weezy touch every hip hop rapper out there in one way or another. Safe to say Bryan Williams is well on his way to being a billionaire.

Hands down, no question Tupac Shakur is a hip hop legend. This New Yorker was born on June 16, 1971 known simply as 2 PAC he was truly one of the most contriversial rappers of our time. Songs written about growning up around violence, hardships in the ghetto, racism, problems in society and conflicts with other rappers, usually very graphic no details left untouched, no topic was off limits. Obviously this rated R rapper was an entrepeneur in the hip hop world. Starting out as a roadie, then a back up dancer and then found his true calling rapping ripped through the hip hop world like a disease. 2 PAC was indeed a triple threat rapper, actor, and a social icon, every song, video, interview, movie this legend did infected everyone. Regardless of his THUG life everyone can relate to PAC his hardcore life was just the tip of the iceburg, underneath we all saw the realness in him and in society. In my humble opinion we can all learn from this hip hop legend no matter wat age or race. It is a shame that most of us didn't realise this until after his death. Please celebrate this legend with me.

R.I.P. Sept. 13,1996 Tupac Amaru Shakur PEACE.
