Behind the Music Lil Wayne is on tonight

Vh1 has resuscitated its venerable Behind the Music franchise and is launching it tonight with none other than hip-hop's goofiest, most-hypnotic superstar, Lil Wayne.

VH1 is re-launching its Emmy Award-nominated and critically-acclaimed series Behind The Music. The iconic series that helped put VH1 on the map will premiere on Thursday, September 10 at 10/9c with Behind The Music: Lil Wayne.  The self-proclaimed "best rapper alive" opens up about his childhood, his music, and his struggles, as he and the people who know him best describe his ascension from a poverty-stricken childhood in New Orleans to his reign as one of hip-hop's heavy hitters.

We're crossing our fingers that BTM producers will take a cue from that forthcoming The Carter documentary and serve up something worth suing over.

Behind The Music: Lil Wayne airs on Vh1 tonight at 9 Central.
