Similar to the posts earlier this month and at the end of March, I have decided to do another #ThrowbackThursday article for today here on LilWayneHQ.com.

For this week’s throwback post, you can watch Lil Wayne pay a visit to BET’s “106 & Park” television show back in 2002 to promote his 500 Degreez album. He was joined later on by Birdman, Mannie Fresh and TQ.

In his interview, Wayne spoke on why the 500 Degreez project title is similar to Juvenile’s 400 Degreez album name, having the very first sample on Cash Money Records with “Don’t Look Any Further” on his “Way Of Life” single, and more! Have you seen it before?

Today is a different type of post on LilWayneHQ.com, but I am sure it is one you will all find cool! A former employee of Kanye West‘s creative content company DONDA has shared alternative packaging concepts for Lil Wayne‘s I Am Not A Human Being II album.

We all know DONDA designed the official artwork for Wayne‘s IANAHB2 project that came out back in March, 2013, but now Joe Perez has released the earlier designs that they submitted a week before the cover they went with in the end was revealed online.

Executive Creative Direction: Kanye West.
Creative Direction: Virgil Abloh.
Art Direction: JJJJound, Heron Preston, Nate Brown, and Joe Perez.
Design: Joe Perez.
Assistant Design: GEO.

You can check out an alternative version of the I Am Not A Human Being II album packaging concept that has never been released to the public before after the jump below. Do you like this more than the official version we got in the end? Shouts to Kieran for the heads up!

Just like last week, I have decided to do another #ThrowbackThursday post here on LilWayneHQ.com, so if you would like to see me make this a weekly thing on this website, please let me know in the comments section below.

In today’s throwback clip, which you can check out below, Lil Wayne can be seen giving an interview to SMACK on his tour bus for their iconic street DVD series. This part appeared in SMACK DVD Volume 13 and it was filmed in 2006 after the release of Wayne‘s Tha Carter II album.

During their conversation, Weezy (who was rocking a purple BAPE zip-up hoodie) spoke on T-Streets thriving on smacking people, Trina, speaking to JAY-Z about signing to his record label after Birdman gave him the go-ahead, his beef with Juvenile, signing deals with Reebok and Billionaire Boys Club, his loyalty for Baby, and more!

“Dude may of dissed me or whatever, but I get paid. So when you gettin’ paid, you can’t really look at it. Now if I was hurtin’ it might be a murder or somethin’, but I’m gettin’ paid”

Ron Killings aka R-Truth recently participated in a game of “Start, Bench, Cut” with Bleacher Report.

For his question, the WWE legend was asked which album from the 2000s he would “start”, “bench” and “cut” out of Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter III, JAY-Z‘s The Blueprint and 50 Cent‘s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.

You can check out which options the professional wrestler choose at the start of the video after the jump below! Which projects would you “start”, “bench” and “cut” out of these three?
