Lil Skies recently appeared on Genius‘ “The Genius Test” series to take a quiz on one of his biggest influences in music – Lil Wayne, which you can watch below.

At the start of the video, the Pennsylvania-born rapper called Tunechi “the G.O.A.T.” and revealed how Tune influenced him to be himself in his music. If you recall back to last year, Skies paid homage to Wayne with his “A Milli“-inspired music video for “Welcome To The Rodeo“.

Some of the questions that Lil Skies got right included finishing the lyrics off from “6 Foot 7 Foot“, which artist is not signed to Young Money, how old Mr. Carter was when he first recorded under the name of Baby D, what was the title of the Destiny’s Child single that Weezy appeared on, and more.

Skies got a total of 76% on this quiz and some of the questions which he got wrong were: the title of Lil Wayne‘s debut studio album, which DJ hosted the Dedication mixtape series, what project Wayne released exclusively on TIDAL, and listing as many Weezy and Drake songs that he could in under 15 seconds!

Every song from Lil Wayne‘s latest album, Tha Carter V, except for the Intro message from Wayne‘s mother Jacida Carter called “I Love You Dwayne“, has debuted in the Billboard “Hot 100” chart.

This is an amazing achievement and it also means that Weezy has tied with his Young Money artist Drake for the most simultaneous “Hot 100” debuts in a single week with 22 each.

You can see where all 22 tracks from C5 have debuted on the Billboard chart after the jump below. Congratz to Tunechi!

After Tha Carter V topped the Billboard 200 this week, Lil Wayne has become the first music artist in history to debut two songs simultaneously in the top 5 on Billboard’s “Hot 100” chart.

Just missing out to Maroon 5 and Cardi B’s “Girls Like You” at No. 1, Weezy‘s “Mona Lisa” featuring Kendrick Lamar debuts at No. 2 while his “Don’t Cry” track featuring XXXTentacion enters at No. 5.

The Young Money founder also joins his label-mate Drake as the only artists in history to debut four records in the top 10 on the “Hot 100” in a single week as “Uproar” debuted at No. 7 and “Let It Fly” featuring Travis Scott appeared at No. 10.

Tunechi is now tied with Eminem for male artists with the most “Hot 100” top 10 debuts as they both have 11 each and are 1 behind Drizzy, who is in the first place with 12. He has also surpassed JAY Z for the second most “Hot 100” top 10s among rappers with 24. Congratulations to Tune on all these achievements!

A week ago on September 27th at midnight, Lil Wayne released his twelfth studio album of his music career – Tha Carter V.

After hearing about the projections a few days ago, the first week sales for C5 are now in. According to Billboard, the album has sold around 480,000 units (streaming included).

Tunechi‘s latest project has also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, which is now his fourth No. 1 album on the chart following Tha Carter IV in 2011, I Am Not A Human Being in 2010 and Tha Carter III in 2008, so a big congratulations to Tune is in order.

A couple more achievements for Tha Carter V are that it has had the third-biggest week for an album in 2018 behind Drake‘s Scorpion and Travis Scott’s Astroworld, as well as that it has had the second-largest streaming week ever for an album with 433 million on-demand audio streams while Scorpion had the biggest (745.9 million)!

2 years ago, Lil Wayne announced in an interview that he was working on his debut skateboarding video part, and today it has finally been released with his Sqvad Up skaters.

In the 7-minute clip, which you can check out below, we can see Weezy show off his skating tricks at the skate park on top of his house roof, at the TRUKSTOP, in the streets, and at other various skate parks across the country.

A new Tunechi song can also be heard being played during the part that is called “Hercules“. I’m not sure how old the track is, but there are a lot of lines recycled from Tune‘s “No Motive” record off DJ Khaled’s Suffering From Success album from back in 2013!

What are your thoughts on the new Wayne song and his skateboarding skills?
