Lil Wayne was the recent special guest on episode 22 of “I Am Athlete“, which included him sitting down with former NFL players Brandon Marshall, Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, as well as Omar Kelly for an interview.

During their sit-down talk, Wayne spoke about everything from longevity, if he wants to leave a legacy, evolving in music, seeing the potential in Nicki Minaj and Drake, recording 10,000 Bars with DJ Raj Smoove, and the early parts of his career.

Weezy also discussed his creativity, where he thinks rap is going, the new artists he is currently listening to (Baby Keem and Young Dolph), his artist Euro, what he thinks Aaron Rodgers will do with the Green Bay Packers, why he is a Packers fan, and much more.

Also in their conversation, Ochocinco challenged Tunechi to a rap cypher that included the rappers Lil Dred, Jag, Gorditoflo, Euro, and more. You can check it all out in the video after the jump below!

Lil Wayne‘s long-time friend and the Young Money President, Mack Maine, recently spoke with Adam Aziz for his article on The Undefeated about rap album lengths.

Mack talked about how the music industry has evolved from when him and Wayne first started way before digital streaming was a thing and confirmed Weezy has a project coming out that will be 10 or 11 songs only (it’s possible that this could be Trust Fund Babies)!

“Wayne had never released an album in the streaming era [until Tha Carter V]. Everybody was like: ‘Yo, you gotta put more tracks on there because that’ll get the streams up.'”

“Wayne’s thinking process, from what he and I spoke about, was we look at our albums as feeding the people like food, so he always wanted to make sure the consumer was full after they listen to the album. We have a project coming out soon that will only be 10 or 11 joints.”

Marisa Flores recently sat down with uDiscover Music to chat all about being Lil Wayne‘s stylist, which you can watch below.

In their interview, Marisa spoke on how she first met Wayne in Hollywood not too long after he had released Tha Carter III, how she became his stylist, how Weezy‘s style has evolved over the years, going from plain white t-shirts to high end designers, taking risks with outfits, and more.

Also during their conversation, Flores discussed how Tunechi‘s style has influenced hip-hop, receiving so much hate for him wearing tight skinny jeans at the MTV VMAs and now all of the new generation rappers are wearing them, her favorite Tune music video shoot, skateboarding, and surfing.

After revealing her favorite Lil Wayne song is “Get A Life” off the Rebirth album, Marisa Flores showed off a few of the outfits that she has kept hold of and these include the “HYFR” and “Love Me” music videos, as well as a Trayvon Martin shirt Mr. Carter wanted to wear at a concert!
