Lil Wayne, is featured in the November 2011 issue of GQ Magazine as they honor “The Survivors”, a selection of the “greatest living music masters and hip-hop geniuses.

Others artists featured in the issue include Erykah Badu, Eminem, Reakwon and The Dungeon Family, whose full article you can read HERE.

GQ describes ?The Survivors? as:

The ones who keep going, evolve, even flourish, long enough for us to still be listening to them ten, twenty, even fifty years later. Forty-six artists about whom you?ll never say, ?I only like their early work.?

The legends?or legends-in-the-making?who refuse to die, quit, back down or shut up.

I guess that describes most of them.

Check out behind the scenes video + a few photos from the spread…

Can you think of any other musical “survivors” to add to the list?
