Drizzy P and his manager Geedy recently sat down with Josh and Quise for episode 22 of their “Boss Talk” podcast, which you can check out after the jump below.

In their interview, Drizzy spoke on how he first got into music, where he got his name from, how he was signed to Young Money, working on a new YM compilation with all of the other new record label artists, who inspires him, and studying rap.

The new Young Mula signee also discussed working in the studio with Lil Wayne, why Wayne is a “beast”, witnessing him record in the studio for 48 hours straight, opening up Weezy‘s show at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills a couple of months ago, and more. He also played a game of which songs he likes better out of “Moment 4 Life” or “Did It On ‘Em“, “Pound Cake” or “Lord Knows“, and “6 Foot, 7 Foot” or “A Milli“!

In a recent Twitter Spaces conversation, Juelz Santana gave Lil Wayne his flowers, and put a stop to anyone who believes Wayne copied his and Dipset‘s style.

From personally seeing comments on social media that said Tunechi had bit The Diplomats‘ style, Juelz shut down these claims by saying Tune did what he had to do to become “the best rapper in the world”, which is by studying the game.

“You know, especially these blogs and sh*t, they try to separate or try to throw salt in the game. They love to hit me with the ‘Oh, Wayne took all this from you.’ I be like, man, Wayne is a student of the game just like we’ve all been students of the game. So Wayne did exactly what he was supposed to do. Wayne studied every artist… and he took what he needed to take, and he incorporated it into his style and what he needed to do, and became the best artist that he needed to be for his self.”

The Harlem rapper also added that they “all took sh*t from each other”, as well as called Weezy his “brother”. You can listen to Santana make these comments after the jump below! Do you agree with what was said?

Earlier this year, Anuel AA sat down with N.O.R.E. aka Noreaga and DJ EFN for an interview on their “Drink Champs” podcast to discuss his career, life, fame, and more.

At the 14:00 minute mark, the Puerto Rican rapper reveals he listened to a lot of English-speaking music growing up and the artist he studied the most was Lil Wayne. He went on to say he really took notice of Wayne around Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV era, as well as when he introduced Drake and Nicki Minaj to the world.

Later on in their conversation at the 1:14:00 mark, Anuel references Tunechi‘s iconic deposition by answering “I don’t recall” to a question about which watch he was wearing when in jail. You can check out the full interview after the jump below. AA and Weezy previously collaborated on the song “Ferrari” a couple of years ago!

Similar to last week, I have decided to share scans from Lil Wayne‘s cover story for the April 2006 issue of Vibe magazine for #ThrowbackThursday today.

In an interview with Benjamin Meadows-Ingram for the mag, Weezy discussed everything from how difficult it was to work with other producers on Tha Carter II instead of Mannie Fresh, how much of an influence JAY-Z is on him, how close he came to signing with Roc-A-Fella, and if he dissed T.I. on his “Best Rapper Alive” song.

You can check out scans from Tunechi‘s cover story below that also includes him talking about the Hot Boys members dissing him, joining Boyz N Da Hood, if he is Blood affiliated, studying Psychology at the University Of Houston, how his relationship with Trina is different than other relationships he has been in, New Orleans, if he dissed 50 Cent and Nas on “You Don’t Know” off Da Drought 2, and much more!

For #ThrowbackThursday today, I have decided to share scans from Lil Wayne‘s cover story for the February 2006 issue of Ozone magazine, which took place a few months after his Tha Carter II album had been released in stores.

In an interview with Julia Beverly for the mag, Weezy discussed everything from Hurricane Katrina (even though he was tired of talking about it), why he was not trying to be Jay-Z on his C2 album cover, wanting everyone to stop categorizing him, going to the University of Houston for Psychology classes, and deciding it was time to be a CEO.

What’s going on between you and B.G.? He put out a song dissing you, and I heard you were shouting “Fuck B.G.” at a recent show.
My album is in stores now, Tha Carter II, It’s my fifth solo album. It’s number two on the charts.

I’m sure everyone’s been asking you about your relationship with Trina. Are you open to talking about that?
No.

You’re trying to keep your relationship away from the public eye?
I ain’t tryin’. I am.

You can check out scans from Tunechi‘s cover story below that also includes him talking about touring with Jeezy and T.I., creating songs for different cities and sending them to DJs, his daughter Reginae Carter and why he would not let her be a rapper because he doesn’t think it is a good game for females, and much more!
