On today’s episode The Champs chop it up with one of the most influential artists in the game, the legend, Lil Wayne. An artist with no ceilings Wayne shares with us the importance of never being afraid to be yourself.
Having a career that spans four decades Lil Wayne has been a master at reinventing himself. From being the youngest Hot Boy on Cash Money Records, Mixtape Weezy grew as a lyricist and became a rock star, forever standing tall among his peers, the GOATS. The Young Money Executive is responsible for putting on stars such as Nicki Minaj and Drake, just to name a few.
In this episode Lil Wayne shares a lot of stories that span from the early days of Cash Money Records, to recording his classic mixtapes. Wayne shares with us how he evolved as an artist and how he transitioned to a CEO. Weezy drops gems, revealing how he came up with “BLING, BLING” and revealing who his all time favorite artist is.

The “Lemon” performer recently had a more than 40-minute discussion with legendary record producer Rick Rubin all about music in various forms. But when the conversation turned to go-go music and its roots, viewers of the GQ-hosted chat raised their eyebrows.
“Go-go was the second sound of Virginia,” the 46-year-old Virginia native told an amazed Rubin in GQ’s “Epic Conversations.” “It was everything. Everything … It’s such a pocket that if you go outside of D.C. — north-wise, like to New York — you wouldn’t know anything about it. But when you go down south, you can find some of it in Delaware, you can find a little bit of it in Maryland, but not much. And in Virginia, it was just big. In the Carolinas it was big. It was a world. It’s a world.”
But Williams’ diminishing the amount of go-go music flowing from Maryland, which envelopes D.C. where the funk subgenre emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, had many social media users scratching their heads.
You know what? Maybe, when he says Maryland, he’s thinking about it from an entire state perspective — other than the surrounding D.C. suburbs and (with vitriol) Baltimore, maybe Maryland wasn’t big on the sound. In contrast, I can think of all of the times I travelled to different parts of Virginia from North Carolina to see a Go-Go during my college years. Either way, it’s a hilarious misunderstanding.

Nicki Minaj and Joe Budden got into a heated discussion during the newest episode of Queen Radio — which was also the 1-year anniversary of the show — that aired yesterday (Aug. 13). Joe Budden, along with his podcast partners and co-hosts Rory and Mal, were guest of Queen Radio and things began to take a left turn when Budden suggested that the rollout of Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki’s new single, “Hot Girl Summer,” was “calculated.” “You like tearing down women when they can’t defend themselves,” Nicki told Budden.
After a brief back and forth about the past situation surrounding “Motorsport,” Minaj confronted Budden on his drug allegations surrounding the Beam Me Up Scotty spitta. The tension got so high that the Queens native cut Budden’s mic off.
“Cut [Budden]‘s f*cking mic,” Nicki told her producer after drug allegations came up. “It’s been malicious and specific to me because he and I were under the same people when we were coming up,” she says. “I used to think to myself, this man is so bitter… I didn’t think his ego was that out of control that he couldn’t admit when he was wrong.” – Hypebeast
