(PR) VH1 is relaunching its Emmy Award-nominated and critically acclaimed series "Behind The Music." [But with no rockers despite rock being the biggest selling genre of music in recent years. Poison doesn't really count as rock] The iconic series that helped put VH1 on the map will premiere on Thursday, September 10 at 10 PM* 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.

New episodes of the series will feature some of the best and brightest in the music industry today, including pop songstress Pink (September 17), self-proclaimed "King of R&B" Bobby Brown (September 24), [glam-pop star] Bret Michaels (October 1), the "King of the South" rapper T.I. (October 8) and hip-hop megastar 50 Cent on (October 13).

All episodes will air on Thursdays at 10pm except for Pink, which will air on Thursday, September 17 at 8PM* in advance of "VH1's Divas Live" and 50 Cent, which will air on Tuesday, October 13 at 8PM* in advance of the premiere of "VH1 Hip Hop Honors".
