It''s basically a set of functions to make things easier to do,
and clearer to read. Like if you had 20 things you had to do
to Initialize something, would you rather have 20 lines just
sitting there in your code, or would you rather have something
like Initialize();?

Most people like the latter, and thats why the write wrappers.

Also they do this to get autographs yo!

haha thats bad Lohrno
A wrapper is a bit of code written to adapt the interface you get, say from a library, to the format of the calls used in an application, or vice-versa. For example, GLUT acts as a wrapper for the windowing system : you write calls to GLUT instead of writing calls either for GDI or XWindow.

Edit : It's like having an adapter to have your plug fit in the socket.
