Earlier this year, 2 Chainz was the special guest on episode 122 of Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson‘s “All The Smoke” podcast.

At the 30:00 mark of their interview, Tity Boi explained how Playaz Circle‘s “Duffle Bag Boy” collaboration with Lil Wayne came together, which all started from selling Birdman and Cash Money Records some weed.

During their convo at the 40:00 mark, Chainz talked about receiving his first ever GRAMMY award for Chance The Rapper‘s “No Problem” single featuring himself and Wayne back in 2017. He says it was a blessing, it was himself who got Tunechi on the song, and he was the one who informed Tune they had won a GRAMMY for the collab as he was somewhere skateboarding and had no idea!

Later on in their conversation at 1:06:40, 2 Chainz named his top 5 rappers of all time dead or alive and Weezy was No. 1 in his list. The rest were: Jay Z, Scarface, Andre 3000, and Tupac Shakur plus The Notorios B.I.G. as a whole. You can check out the full video after the jump below!

A couple of months ago, Meek Mill participated in a question-and-answer session on Twitter with his followers.

One of the questions Meek was asked was “Who [are] your top 3 rappers OAT?” to which he named Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Jadakiss before saying Tupac and Biggie were “a lil’ ahead” of his time.

In related news, Tory Lanez also gave praise to Weezy last month on Twitter by saying: “Lil Wayne is still my favorite rapper till this day ….. I will never act like the man hasn’t done what he did for my entire generation.”.
