Lil Wayne, who was rocking a pair of Prada Camouflage Combat Boots, recently went “Sneaker Shopping” with Joe La Puma at Neiman Marcus in Bal Harbour, Florida for the Season 10 finale of their series.

During their trip, Wayne recalled drawing the Nike “swoosh” and the Adidas “three stripes” on folders back when he was in school, what he wore in Juvenile‘s “I Got That Fire” music video back in 1999, and how his deal with SUPRA in 2012 got messed up because they didn’t want to do what he envisioned (they wanted something to rival Kanye West‘s Yeezy shoe).

Before spending $7773.55 on sneakers, Weezy spoke on his favorite sneakers to skate in, Kendrick Lamar remembering him rocking the Reebok Workout Low shoes when he signed his Reebok deal, deciding what to wear for court-side NBA games, Drake giving him exclusive Jordans, his stylist Marisa Flores laying out between 100-200 pairs of shoes each night for his shows, TRUKFIT, and more.

You can check all of this go down in the video after the jump below. Tunechi also revealed he has not been to a shopping mall in over 15 years! Did you like the Dior sandals, Balenciaga trainers, Versace slippers, and Dolce & Gabbana sneakers that Tune picked out to buy?

For this week’s “Feature Friday” installment, I have picked the official “Ha” remix from Juvenile featuring verses from Hot Boys members Lil Wayne, Turk and B.G.

The original version of this Mannie Fresh-produced collaboration appears on Juvie‘s 400 Degreez album, which was released back in 1998.

“You heard ’bout Lil Wayne, H-O-T B-O-Y ha; Shorty with the braids for Cash Money gon’ pop ha; Uh, I burn ha, the hammer sits ha, here come the blitz ha; A remix ha, they from the ‘Nolia I’m from the Grove ha”

Turk took to his Twitter page just over a week ago to tease an upcoming collaboration with Lil Wayne:

“Who ready for New @LilTunechi and His Big Brudda @HotBoyTurk32 New Song RT”

From the caption, it looks like it could be a Tunechi song featuring Turk, which may even possibly appear on Tune‘s Funeral album.

What do you think? Are you excited for some new music from the former Hot Boys members?!

Juvenile recently sat down with Ebro Darden, Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez for an interview with Hot 97 on their “Ebro In The Morning” radio show to promote his and Birdman‘s joint album, Just Another Gangsta.

From the 14:35 mark of their conversation, which you can check out below, Juvie was asked about the lost handwritten Lil Wayne notebook from the Hot Boys days that is currently on sale for $250,000.00.

The New Orleans rapper confirmed that Wayne had numerous notepads full of lyrics back in the day, revealed Tunechi had a whole verse ready for “Back That Azz Up” that didn’t make the final version, and recalled saying Tune would be the future of music!

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!
