Tech N9ne Speaks On Working With Lil Wayne
Complex spoke to Tech N9ne about what it was like working with Lil Wayne in the studio, and what we can be looking forward to from the rappers collaborating:
On working with Lil Wayne on a song for Tha Carter IV
“It was really enjoyable to see Wayne like what I do. I went down to Miami at their studio The Hit Factory. I got there late the first night, like at one. They got there at 12. I started writing it around one. Fell asleep at 2:30, left the studio, and said, ‘Yo, I’ve got to come back the next day.’ And then we came back the next night and I got to the studio and recorded it before they returned to the studio. So by the time he got to the studio, we already had it recorded with his engineer Mike Banger. So he got to hear it and he really enjoyed it—he listened to it like three times. He saluted me and everything. It was a beautiful feeling man. We did one song for Tha Carter IV and he’s doing one for my album. I mean, I can’t really describe the song we did, but it’s MCing, rapping. Just going. You know how he was doing ‘A Milli’ and it was just rapping? Boom. That’s what we did. We brought our MCs to the table. Rapping, motherfucker. We don’t have to have no certain subject, we were just going. I have no idea who produced the track. He didn’t even know.
So it looks like Tune will be on Tech‘s album (the song will be called “Fuck Food“), and Weezy will have a verse from Tech on Tha Carter IV.

I AGREE WITH YOU TUNE777 BECAUSE HE DID IT WITH CARTER 3 AND THAT WAS LEAKED I THINK THA CARTER 4 IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM OF THE YEAR AND DECADE SO FAR
@CARTER 4- yea and I don’t want C4 to leak
my guess is that justin bieber will be on a song on C4…and in today’s world its impossible for an album to drop without the majority of it leaking
WAYNES BACK TO HIS OLD SELF IF YOU HERE HIS LYRICS WOW THERE AWESOME

stolen from TR shady, but great post:
I think Em does in fact take shots at Weezy, but he’s very clever about it and not making it extremely obvious unless you take a closer look. It’s not straight dissing, it’s more like he’s showing him up.
Remember how before Wayne and Em were even on the same track, Wayne said in an interview that Em is “scared to work” with him. Which is the main reason why I think that Em does show Wayne up on his own tracks instead of going the usual dissing way.
But let’s get to the point.
First thing that made me suspicious:
Wayne on Forever: “I’m resting in the lead I need a pillow and a cover”
Em on Drop The World: “Sleep on me that pillow is where your head’ll lie”
Wayne say’s he’s in the lead aka on top of the game. We know Wayne likes to call himself the best rapper alive and Em is very well aware of this. Em says “sleep on me” which refers to the position (=lead/the top), and that he’s going to lyrically decapitate him.
Em on Not Afraid “You said you was king, you lied through your teeth
For that fuck your feelings, instead of getting crowned you’re getting capped”
Another shot which is clearly aimed at one person and not the usual “brag against everyone else”, because there can only be one king. Who said he was king? Resting in the lead? Best rapper alive? Wayne does. Em mentions the scenario again where Wayne’s getting decapitated in the fight for the lead, and not crowned (think pillow).
Now for the main part:
Em on Won’t Back Down: “Bitch am I the reason that your boyfriend stopped rapping
Does a bird chirp
Lil Wayne slurps syrup til he burps
And smokes purp, does a wordsearch, gets circles wrapped around him like you do when I come through”
First of all, Em doesn’t say “Does Lil Wayne slurp…”, he says “Lil Wayne slurps…” making it a full sentence and not a rhetorical question like you seem to think. Listen to the track closely, he cleary says “Lil Wayne” right after “chirps”, there’s no “Does” in between.
The first line obviously looks like it’s referring to Nick Cannon, but if you think about it twice, why would he keep dissing him after “The Warning”? Listen to it again, to me Em clearly drew a line with that track and Nick/Mariah haven’t dared to reply to him in any way so why should he keep going on about a battle that he has clearly won.
So in my opinion, the first line refers to Birdman, Wayne’s “boyfriend”, remember them kissing? Also, if it was referring to Cannon, why would he say “boyfriend” and not “husband”? Nick and Mariah are married.
Next line, does a bird chirp, obviously connected to Birdman and refering to the first line.
In the next line he says that Wayne is high on syrup/purp all the time and does a wordsearch (=searching for lyrics) while Em is wrapping/rapping circles around him without Wayne even noticing he’s being shat on. Basically Em says Wayne is having a hard time finding lyrics for his own verses on their collabs, while Em is dominating it, easily taking shots at him all around him (in circles) and Wayne doesn’t even notice.
Em on Drop The World: “I can run circles around you so fast your fucking head’ll spin dog”. Wayne is a coincidence. Overall if you take a closer look there are too many things that would be too coincidental if they weren’t meant to be aimed at Wayne.
Em does this, in my opinion, to show that he’s not afraid at all to collab with Wayne. In fact, he has the balls to diss him on their own tracks.
Why does Em say he likes Wayne’s work and think he’s good? So he can keep making collabs with him and show him up on them. He’s making everyone think that they are cool on the outside so he can keep shitting on him cleverly and subtle.
man wayne dont need songs on tha carter 4 that have NO MEANING..
who cares if you can spit..he needs to get back to making GOOD MUSIC like in the first 2 carters..
That’s all true I dare eminem to mess with wayne now, tech n9ne to be honest will rap circles around both of them, eminem mess with wayne you got a n9ne looking at you
that’s what’s up
i can’t wait 
how did em diss wayne and they did forever && no love together. stop makin shit up clown ass niggas
@YeahBabe How Em was dissin wayne wen he said “U said U was king, U lied threw ya teeth” wen dat was a whole shot at T.I cleary
^^ correct
Why would Eminem record 3 songs with Wayne is he was dissing him. Thats not Ems style. Is Lil Wayne also that hes going to pick up the world and drop in on Eminems fucking head?
“Fuck Food“ i Cant wait the song and c4 I cant wait too u.u
Real talk @yeahbaby.these btchz cn’t c dat Em diss dis nigga weezy. People go 2 youtube and seach this shit and u wll c it.
Man i hd 2 go study 4 my Family Law test comin up bt i wz distbd by dis shit yall are talkin abt.God damn i saw that shit on youtube.i wz so disappointed man!!!Eminem fuck weezy up nd he could not see it. i knw some of yall might think y would he diss he if he’s doing songz wth him??? well eminem z showing no respect 4 dis nigga. he killz him in their own songz nd weezy does nt c it. listen 2 d lyrics “VERY CAREFULLY”. dnt call me a hater and dnt gt me wrong lil wayne z my nigga nd I fcks wth him bt eminem killed him intelligently. On the other hand Eminem does nt wnt 2 diss Lil Wayne directly bcos he fells sorry 4 him. He knwz dat he will totally distroy his career. Weezy has a lot of fans bt Em has more fans dan him and I hv prvd dat(lil wayne-more dan 20 million facebook frwndz nd Eminem- more dan 26 million facebook frwndz)
um sounds like u r hating no one gives a fuck damn the reason y people thinks hes better is cuz he raps fast yall probably dont even no what hes saying but then ur like o hes the best no hes the worst and so are his fucken fans so dont comeon his website say shit go to eminems and say that shit
Come to my restaurant where we sometimes spit in your food!
Thats the thing about Waynes recent music. Most of it dont really have meaning, its just rappin. All the Carters had meaning. IANAHB did not. Im hoping that Carter 4 will have meaning.
Can’t wait till tha carter IV, does anyone knows a release date or something???
Didn’t mack maine say C4 was deep ? I’m sure it will have meaning but at the samew time has raw songs just like the Carter 3 and IANAHB had one song wit meaning and that was “That Ain’t Me” which was ment for the C4 so I’m sure he will have meaning, I’m hoping becuz that’s a main thing the haters say is that he raps about nothing so he needs to shut them up
WHERE THE FUCK DID THE 6 FOOT 7 FOOT VIEDO GO??? SCOOB DOO PROLLY LOST IT ALONG WITH THE NINO BROWN 3
Neva heard anything 4rm Tech N9ne but if Tune think he raw im pretty sure it cool, YMCMB!!!!!!!!!!!!
@G man- stfu. Omg u sound so stupid. U said em can destroy Wayne career? Lmfao. Em Fucking respects Wayne. Wayne is like one of the few ppl that em respects. They’re good friends. Stop with all this em disses Wayne cuz he doesn’t.
@gman dude hop of em’s dick and ball sack you fuckin fagget u might get preggo..hahaha
people stop tryna make up shit on here! just let these artist make they music and do they own fuckin thing.
@Zama nigga fuck yu or watever is ckuz boy U are not a man U are jus amanda LMFAO bitxh!!!
em says lil wayne slurps syrup smokes purp does a word search gets circles rapped around him. clearly thats a diss to lil wayne, lil wayne has more respect then to diss him up on a album for sale, wait till d4 you’ll see what the best rapper alive has to say about eminem
hope they have a sick beat lyrical they both always good but beat wise they can make stupid decisions lol
@YeahBaby i was with you until you said that king shit only TIP calls himself king
Lil wayne is a disgrace to the hip hop industry the man is lyrically challenged lil wayne will never be on the same level as Tech the only reason they did those songs together was so Tech could show Wayne what real music was all about. Its sad to even compare a degenerate such as lil wayne to tech. Tech is the future lil wayne was just another man who came and went in the industry
