Last month, Lil Wayne invited Benji and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte to appear on Apple Music’s Young Money Radio. This month, Madden returned the favor and talked more about art with Wayne on the show Artist Friendly.
We talked about the “Kat Food” rapper song around the 28-minute mark. He has been at the top of his game for decades and says he started when he was 15. Wayne was in Hоt Boys with Juvenile, B.G., and Turk when they were all the same age.
“I always wаnted to be with Cash Money. The only reason I wаnted to be with them was because they were Cash Money and had well-known and great rappers”. “I thought they were the best,” Wayne told Madden.
“It was never a race, but the atmosphere was always… Slim Williams, who helped start Cash Money Records, was always like, “Let me hear yours.” “Then you see how people react to it,” Wayne said. “When they hear someone’s verse, they talk about it during the day.”
“I always saw things that way.” At some point during the day, they might think, “Hey, what did he sаy earlier?” Then it showed up in real life; what he or she said before did come out in real life.
Wayne went on to sаy that the in-studio sessions would help him work out his rhyme schemes, which would be more powerful than his delivery. The five-time Grammy winner is known for being energetic, though.
“That’s when I felt something. I would tell myself, “Okay, I don’t think my rhymes are going to come.” I can’t come up with words. What I sаy is more important than how I sаy it. That was the first time I realized that.
You can listen to the whole chat with Wayne here. He also talked about how important it is to be constant.
Recently, the co-rapper of Welcome 2 Collegrove compared his path to that of LeBron James, a power forward for the Los Angeles Lakers. Many people think James is the greatest player in NBA history.
“I would sаy that I’m like a LeBron,” Wayne told Taylor Rooks on Bleacher Report. “I dropped my first solo album when I was 14, and that’s the same album I’m talking about that went platinum. And I’ve been doing this at this pace of higher ever since, just like him.”
