A couple of months ago, Cortez Bryant chopped it up with The Jasmine Brand for a virtual interview, which you can watch below, to talk about a variety of subjects.

During their conversation, Tez Poe discussed how he first became the manager of Lil Wayne, recalled how they first got scammed for a concert, revealed how he felt when Drake asked him to be his manager, and more.

The former manager of Tunechi also spoke on how close Tune actually came to signing a deal with Jay Z and how they had the Roc Nation / Def Jam contract in front of them ready to sign. Cortez mentioned that this woke Cash Money Records up, as well as explained what him and Weezy learned from the initial CMR deal!

As it is #ThrowbackThursday today, we can watch a rare Lil Wayne interview with MTV News back in 2006 all about his “role model” Jay-Z.

In a conversation with Shaheem Reid (see below), Tunechi recalls Jay telling him he is “that dude” and that he see’s him, which Tune then says that acknowledgement is better than actually receiving a feature verse from his idol.

Wayne also opens up about how tough it was to not sign with Jay-Z when the opportunity was there, but he states he is a loyal dude and that is why he stayed with Cash Money Records. To date, even though Weezy and Jay have had a little beef in the past, it was actually the Roc Nation CEO who helped the Young Money CEO pay off his huge tax bill a few years ago!

First things first – I know I’m late with posting this interview, so my bad on that, but here is a Mr. Nike of ABN interview with Young Money artists Gudda Gudda and HoodyBaby.

Also in the interview, Gudda revealed what it’s like being around Lil Wayne, the L.A.T (Loyalty Amongst Thieves) project will be released in a few months (even though this conversation took place in February), and how Wayne got in with the L.A.T group to his surprise!

“C5 coming soon, fuck Cash Money, it’s the ROC”

You can watch some footage of Tunechi saying this before ending his concert in Dallas after the jump below!
