During a recent Instagram Live session for his fans (watch below), Hopsin addressed his hate on Lil Wayne in the past.

The Los Angeles rapper says there has always been Wayne songs he loved even back when he made negative comments, as well as that he “can confidentially say Lil Wayne is an amazing rapper” and “the metaphors and punchlines are definitely really good”.

Hopsin goes on to admit he “took an L” for his comments and “was definitely sleeping” on Weezy, but reveals it was all because he was caught up in a wave of hating on anything mainstream at the time. However, Hopsin does mention that he now appreciates Tune after he has grown as a lyricist and got more into lyricism himself!

Montana Of 300 recently sat down with DJ Smallz for a one on one interview. In their conversation, the Chicago rapper revealed Lil Wayne is one of his favorite rappers and hearing his “Upgrade U” freestyle off Da Drought 3 for the first time blew him away “mentally”, as well as “motivated the shit” out of him.

Also throughout the interview, which you can check out after the jump below, Montana spoke on Tunechi numerous times and admitted to not hearing all of Dedication 6 just yet, but he is planning on sitting down to listen to it as “an artist”, because Tune is one of the only rappers left who has a different way of thinking outside of the box.

The Chicago rapper even mentioned that no one appreciates real lyricism anymore and the increase of “mumble rap” has stopped the amount of remixes and freestyles from being recorded. For examples, Montana used Weezy‘s “A Milli” and “6 Foot 7 Foot” songs by explaining how no mumble rapper could go and remix them and not actually rap about anything as remixes have always been lyrically better than the original!

Young Thug and his record label boss Lyor Cohen recently stopped by Ebro‘s Beats 1 Radio show on Apple Music in New York City for an interview that you can listen to after the jump below.

At the 7:55 mark, Thugger speaks on his appreciation for his “idol” Lil Wayne, knowing all of his music (even his songs now), and always paying attention to what he has ever said!

“Honestly I always paid attention to Lil Wayne despite everything that’s going on with him and everything. I always paid attention to him, close attention. He’s always my idol, he still my idol. I still know all his music, everything that he’s putting out now, I still know everything, I pay attention to him. I think when he came in as a Hot Boy, he was like a street nigga, like everybody in the streets can adjust to it. But you know as he grew, he started like… tight clothes and rock star… so I guess it went the same path, cause I really always paid attention to him, so I guess it went the same way but I never wanted to live or be like him, I always just paid attention like he’s serious… he’s iconic. I always paid attention to him like that, I never paid attention to him as I’d die if I don’t be like him.”
