For Billboard magazine’s March 2022 issue, Machine Gun Kelly graced the front cover and was their main feature for the story to promote his new album, Mainstream Sellout.

In their cover story, the rapper/singer/actor talked about how some of the greatest rock stars of this generation are now actually rappers and the example he used was Lil Wayne.

“That motherf*cker is everything I loved about the rock stars from back then. That’s why it was so cool to watch Wayne. We’re like: ‘who is this martian?'”

MGK then proceeded to play Tune‘s “Ay!” verse and revealed how Weezy went in the booth after a 7AM skateboarding session to lay the verse down in one take. Check it out in the video below from the 5:45 mark!

I have decided to share scans from Lil Wayne‘s cover story for the April 2008 issue of The Source magazine for #ThrowbackThursday today, which took place during a recording session on his tour bus for “Let The Beat Build” and “Lollipop” off Tha Carter III.

In his interview, Weezy spoke on his recording process, ghostwriting for Dr. Dre, being born to rap, why he is the best rapper alive, and shared his thoughts on people saying he is doing too many drugs.

“Everybody talking ’bout ‘the boy on too much drugs, Baby need to take him to rehab’ and all this shit. I want you to know one thing: a junkie can’t do what the fuck I do. Can’t no drug, can’t no bitch, can’t no money faze me. I am the ultimate high. It ain’t what I’m on, it’s what I do, and making great music is what the fuck I do.”

Tune also talked to C. Vernon Coleman II about playing the guitar, believing every album he has put out is a classic, his daughter Reginae Carter, owning all of his publishing and masters, and more!

After seeing scans from the February 2006 issue last year, I have decided to share scans from Lil Wayne‘s cover story for the December 2006 issue of Ozone magazine for #ThrowbackThursday today.

In an interview with Eric Perrin for the mag, Weezy discussed everything from being signed to Cash Money Records, if he believes good emcees are born or made, Jay-Z, staying loyal to Cash Money, his relationship with Birdman, why he thinks he has been so successful, and being an official member of Boyz N Da Hood.

Young Buck recently said some pretty bold statements in an interview about you and Baby supposedly kissing on a tour bus.
Who is that? I don’t know who you’re talking about.

Okay, so do you have any messages for all the haters who have made different allegations about you recently?
Stop hating, get money.

You can check out scans from Tunechi‘s cover story below that also includes him talking about creating the song “Georgia… Bush“, New Orleans, the I Can’t Feel My Face joint project with Juelz Santana, sex, what advice he would give to girls who want to get him in bed with them, Trina, the freakiest text message he has ever received off a girl, Solange, HIV and AIDS, planning to create a Louisiana Bayou Blast mixtape, and much more!
