In some of the latest episodes of “The Skip Bayless Show“, the American sports columnist and commentator talked about first meeting Lil Wayne, wanting Wayne to write the foreword of his autobiography, and visiting the Young Money CEO’s San Fernando Valley mansion.

With the first video, Skip spoke on how he would be “honored” if the “greatest lyricist ever” Lil Wayne wrote the foreword of his future autobiography. In the next clip, Bayless revealed the first time he ever met Weezy by discussing golf and their Masters experience at the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut back in 2008.

For the final video (watch them all below), Skip Bayless explained why he did all of his sports debating with Tunechi rather than his wife Ernestine when UNDISPUTED was off air for a week. Skip also chatted about himself and Ernestine paying a visit to Tune‘s crib in L.A. before the Rolling Loud festival!

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!

T.I. recently chopped it up with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God on Power 105.1 FM’s “The Breakfast Club” radio show in New York City for an interview.

Around the 8:00 mark of their conversation after talking about his top rappers list, which you can watch below, Tip went on to discuss a top lyricist only list and mentioned Lil Wayne would appear in this to which Charlamagne disagreed.

The Atlanta rapper/actor then said Wayne has an “incredible skill set” and used his “safe sex is great sex, better wear a latex cause you don’t want that late text, that ‘I think I’m late’ text” bar from the “Lollipop” remix as a perfect example, as well as discussed how difficult it is to accomplish a triple entendre like this and apply it in music!

Q-Tip recently took part in an interview with Noisey and during their conversation, he had some nice words to say about Lil Wayne:

“I love Wayne. I think he’s a fucking beast. He’s an ill lyricist. He’s a prodigy. I love to do stuff with him. And that’s my boy, too. We talk sports and all of that shit. Yeah man, he’s acutely intelligent. Highly intelligent, skilled. He’s just got so much soul. I could go on and on about him. He’s one of my favorites, as an MC, as a visionary—like, he’s just dope. He’s just so dope. He’s fucking brilliant… he’s just a cool motherfucker, man. He really is. He’s a special guy. And I really love, like, Tha Block Is Hot, 500 Degreez, all that early stuff, too.”

The two of them have previously collaborated on “Renaissance Rap” and “Thank You“. What are your thoughts on Tip‘s praise for Weezy?

Cool & Dre sat down with Rap-Up recently to discuss working with Lil Wayne and “flooding” him with new music at The Hit Factory Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, Florida.

The production duo also mentioned that Wayne‘s Tha Carter V album has been done for a while now, but they do not know if he will be adding new music on the project.

During their conversation, Dre called Weezy “one of the greatest artists of all time”, “one of the dopest lyricists ever”, and a “superstar icon”.

They even explained why they appreciate Tunechi and shared their thoughts on the “Big 3” – Tune, Drake and Nicki Minaj. You can check out the interview in a video below!
