Kobe Bryant speaks to The Life Files about Lil Wayne and why he is one of his favorite rappers in the video above.

Also, watch the video below to see Birdman in the studio with Punk TV talking about how he is going to release 50 albums next year (anyone believe him?). Baby also plays another snippet of the “Cash Money Hero’s” track.

Props MOP, and just look at all them tatts Stunna has on his face at 0:35.

Lil Wayne is facing a year behind bars in February, but don’t expect either the rapper or his label, Cash Money, to fall off the radar in his absence.

Birdman, who is the co-founder of Cash Money, already has a plan in place to keep both the label and rap’s top-selling artist in the limelight. Birdman recently released his own album, ”Pricele$$,” and a new Lil Wayne CD is planned for release soon; albums by rappers Drake and Bow Wow are to come early next year. They also have the hot singer Jay Sean, who had a No. 1 hit with Lil Wayne, ”Down.”

Still, Birdman‘s biggest concern isn’t about Cash Money — he’s grappling with how to deal with the pending imprisonment of Lil Wayne, who pleaded guilty last month to an illegal weapons charge. Birdman discovered the 27-year-old rapper at age 11 and often refers to him as ”my son.”
