It also introduced his Young Money posse, with appearances from Currensy and Nicki Minaj<\/p>\n

    Tha Carter III arrived in May of 2008, selling more than a million copies in its first week, producing the number one hit \u201cLollipop,\u201d<\/p>\n

    An appearance on Saturday Night Live and four Grammy Awards \u2014 including Best Rap Album \u2014 followed.He also performed at that year\u2019s Country Music Awards with Kid Rock.<\/p>\n

    His rock album, Rebirth and his ten-song EP, I Am Not a Human Being, appeared in early 2010. Tha Carter IV was finally released in 2011 along with its lead-off single \u201c6 Foot 7 Foot.\u201d The album reached the top spot on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n
