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!

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Tha Carter IV, Lil Wayne hosted a Q&A session on his Twitter page where he answered questions from fans all about his C4 album.

In the question and answer session, Weezy revealed why “How To Love” was the hardest song for him to create, how Tech N9ne and Andre 3000 ended up featured on Tha Carter IV, and that both “President Carter” and “Nightmares Of The Bottom” were written while he was locked up inside Rikers Island.

Tunechi also hinted that he may be featured on Drake‘s upcoming Certified Lover Boy album with a “#CLB” hashtag when answering a question about if he has ever received a verse that was “so hot” it made him want to go back to the recording booth and adjust his own verse:

“The answer is the same person every time and that person is Drake. Everything Drake sent back, I always have to go back and [redo]. It’s always because he says something in there that make me be like: ‘ooh, I could make more of the song and capitalize more of the song off of something that he just said and that I didn’t say’… That’s always the person.”
