Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj bring their crazy to Chicago
![Two of hip-hop's top artists will tear up the United Center on Friday night, and if you didn't score tickets, you're missing out. Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj are top-selling musicians, but they also rank pretty high on the crazy meter. Whether she's wearing a skintight leopard-print leotard or simulating a lap dance onstage (as she did during their New York concert last Sunday), Minaj and her Young Money labelmate know how to put on a show. In fact, the duo even recorded a track called "I Get Crazy," so if they didn't bring it, we'd be disappointed. Which artist is more outrageous? It's a tough call, but we break it down.](http://redeye.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-03/331584440-31154817.jpg "Two of hip-hop's top artists will tear up the United Center on Friday night, and if you didn't score tickets, you're missing out.
