Yo Gotti is celebrating his 45th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper Yo Gotti (Rake It Up, Down in the DM, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 45th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Mims, a cultural icon

Born Mario Mims in Memphis on May 19, 1981, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Mims' not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Mario hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Yo Gotti as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 45.

Happy Birthday, Mario, you're the best!
