A few days ago, Miami Heat took on Los Angeles Lakers at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida. You can view a photo above and a photo after the jump of Lil Wayne sitting courtside at the game eating some popcorn.

Also after the jump, you can view some footage that has only just surfaced online of Tunechi backstage at the 2011 BET Awards from June 26th last year. In the video, you can see Weezy dancing on his own backstage and then performing “Hustle Hard Remix” with Ace Hood, DJ Khaled and Rick Ross. What you all might find funny is how much Drake, Cortez Bryant and Birdman was loving the performance from the front row

Man, it’s been a slow week with Tune news.

Damn, I don’t know how I missed this. Anyways, OVO just posted a clip of Lil Wayne singing one of my favorite songs of Drake‘s Take Care album, “Shot For Me“, while Drizzy was on stage with him. The footage is from Weezy‘s show last month in Johannesburg, South Africa at the Coca-Cola Dome.

In other news, Birdman recently spoke on Tunechi dropping 2 albums this year. I’m really not sure if we will actually get 2 albums from Tune this year (you know what Baby is like), but I do think we will get I Am Not A Human Being II for sure.

“He’s working on a couple of albums,” Birdman confirmed. “I think the next one he wants to put out is I’m Not a Human Being [Part 2]. We don’t have a date. He never stops working. So with him, you never know. It all depends on when the young boss wants to drop it. Tunechi do what he want. We’re ready for whatever, whenever he’s ready to go. When he calls the shot, we’ll make it move. Right now it’s about Tyga, Nicki, Twist, Bow and myself; everybody that has albums coming out before we put Wayne’s out in the next few months.”

Here is the official music video for Drake‘s “The Motto” single featuring Lil Wayne and Tyga. The song was produced by T-Minus, and the visual was directed by Lamar Taylor and Hyghly Alleyne of OVOXO. E-40 and Mistah F.A.B. make cameos in this video that was shot in the Bay, along with the mother of Mac Dre, Wanda Salvatto. Drizzy‘s Take Care album, which has already reached platinum status, is available in stores now!

Above, you can watch KarmaloopTV‘s interview with Stephen ‘Spliff’ Hacker, which I found very interesting. Stephen manages some of the hottest producers in the music industry today, including: STREETRUNNER and Drew Money. In the interview, Spliff speaks on working with YMCMB, how Lil Wayne got hold of the “I Got Some Money On Me” beat that Spliff says he recorded in a day for Tha Carter IV album, and more. He also says Wayne has recorded 6 new songs in the studio over his producers beats, but does not know which project they are for.

After the jump, you can view some photos of Tunechi performing in Johannesburg, South Africa at the Coca-Cola Dome just over a week ago with Young Money’s Drake, Shanell and Mack Maine.

Shouts to Capo

Last night, Drake brought out Lil Wayne to perform the chorus on “HYFR (Hell Ya Fuckin’ Right)” at Power 106′s Cali Christmas 2011 in Universal City at the Gibson Amphitheater. Weezy came out in some furry boots and eating some candy, before giving the sweets to someone in the crowd. They also both performed “The Motto“, but before that Drizzy shouted: “Y’all make some noise for the best rapper alive, Lil Wayne”, to which Tunechi responded with: “No, no, no, no, no… y’all make some noise for the best rapper alive, Drake”.

Shouts to Rap-Up

Above, you can watch Lil Wayne and Drake perform “I’m On One” at the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg, South Africa. After the jump, you can also check out some footage of Weezy performing “6 Foot, 7 Foot“, even though he let the crowd rap most of the first verse

Lil Wayne received 5 nominations at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, which were announced yesterday in Los Angeles. Weezy got nominated for “Best Rap Performance (Look At Me Now)“, “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (I’m On One)“, “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (Motivation)“, “Best Rap Song (Look At Me Now)” and “Best Rap Album (Tha Carter IV)“. Young Money’s Nicki Minaj and Drake also earned four nominations each. You can view the full list of nominees here and the show will air live on Sunday, February 12, 2012 from Los Angeles’ Staples Center at 8PM EST on CBS.

Congrats Tunechi, Nicki and Drizzy

Check out some behind the scenes footage above from Bow Wow‘s “Sweat” video shoot featuring Lil Wayne, courtesy of Derick G. You can view some behind the scenes photos from on set here, and Birdman and Detail can be seen making cameos.

In other Weezy news, Tha Carter IV recently went double platinum, which means that Tunechi has sold over 2 million copies of C4 since it was released 3 months ago. Amazing!

Hit the jump to view some behind the scenes footage from Drake‘s “The Motto” video shoot featuring Wayne and Tyga that was shot in the San Francisco Bay Area, and view some photos of Tune at DJ Khaled‘s birthday bash at Mansion Nightclub in Miami, Florida.

More footage of Lil Wayne skateboarding on set here, here, and a photo of him here.

In the video above, Mack Maine surprises Lil Wayne with the new Young Money Discover debit card that they recently launched for people to use in the US. This is basically an advertisement for the debit card and Weezy plans to use his to buy Marley G some new earrings The footage was also shot by DJ Scoob Doo, so I wonder when he plans on giving us some news on The Nino Brown Story Part 3

After the jump, MTV interview Tune, Slim and Birdman about their 17th annual Thanks Giving Day turkey giveaway and not caring about Drake’s Take Care album first week sales, because they are “rich as shit”.

“It’s actually been my first time back here for the past eight or nine years and they’ve been doing this for fifteen years,” Wayne explained. “Me just being super busy, always being on tour or something like that. But this is amazing, especially experiencing it now from the point of view of 29-year-old a person with the things that he needs in place.”

“Those times I did it years ago, I was a kid and I was just doing it because Baby said we were giving away turkeys at a park–and that’s what we were doing,” he continued. “Now its a totally different feeling because I can actually give you that and say here, ‘Happy Thanksgiving,’ and I can I can actually provide that for you. That’s a different feeling in general and it’s a beautiful feeling over-all.”

“As far as expectations, we don’t have those around here. Expectations are a weakness in the music business because if you expect anything, 10 times out of 10 it’s not gonna happen, so we don’t have expectations around here,” Lil Wayne told MTV News on Friday when we caught up with him on a trip to New Orleans where, he gave out Thanksgiving Turkeys in his old neighborhood on Saturday.

“What we do expect is… to work very hard and we expect people to respect our hard work and our effort,” Weezy continued. “Now as far going to buy the album, as far as going to get 750,000 copies, that’s never a problem with us; that’s never important to us.”

Before watching the video above to find out Drake‘s answer, here is a line from the verse to see if you can guess it: “I listen to her heart beat, because it plays my favorite song”.

Drake talks and recites his favorite Lil Wayne verse of all time and explains why he chose it. Drizzy also says one of his favorite rap songs of all time is Outkast’s “Hollywood Divorce” featuring Weezy and Snoop Dogg. Did you expect this choice from Drizzy Drake
