November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The dynamic hip-hop duo of Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz is back. And they’re set to ignite the rap game once again with their latest single, “Long Story Short.” Fresh off the press and dripping with anticipation, this track is an explosive addition to their ever-growing catalog of hits. The single arrives just in time, ahead of their collaborative album Welcome to ColleGrove, dropping next week. Earlier yesterday, 2 Chainz sent the hip-hop world into a frenzy when he took to Twitter to share a snippet of the song.

The title, “Long Story Short,” couldn’t be more fitting for this rap powerhouse duo. The track features not only the talents of 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne but also adds another heavy-hitting rapper to the mix … Juicy J. This revelation has set the bar high for what this trio can deliver together. As fans anticipate more music from the duo, this song sets the tone for what we can expect. The previously released single “Presha,” also served as the lead single to the upcoming album.

The chemistry between Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz is undeniable. Their past collaborations, like the unforgettable album COLLEGROVE in 2016, have given us some of the most iconic hip-hop tracks in recent memory. As the release date for their new project rapidly approaches, fans can’t contain their enthusiasm. The new single should hold us all over until next week.

Mark your calendars for November 17, the day when 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne will drop Welcome 2 ColleGrove, their sequel to their 2016 collaborative gem.

Quotable Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
And she don’t care where I sk**t, hit that ho from head to feet
She walk out here, she wearin’ me
I talk my shit, she smellin’ me
And all I hear is jealousy, I call them ni**as jelly beans
Love my trigger finger so much, I bought her the wedding ring, yeah
Yeah, let’s get married

2 Chainz & Lil Wayne Discuss Their Upcoming Album

Lil Wayne spoke on working alongside 2 Chainz, claiming that their chemistry made creating the LP pretty seamless. “The way me and 2 Chainz work is it’s like water,” he explained. “You know what I mean? Just like water. It just flows. So it wasn’t too much of a process other than getting songs cleared and stuff like that. Yeah.”

“That’s a process nowadays. I agree. Yeah,” 2 Chainz responded, revealing why he enjoys working with Lil Wayne so much. “I think the project we’ve been working on, I’ve been saying it for some time, we are constantly two artists that work every night, challenge each other. You know what I’m saying? Go against the grain, try to find production that doesn’t sound like other people and just try to stay in our own space. So I really… And I tell you this all the time, I really enjoy working with you. You know what I’m saying?” What do you think of Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz debuting two new tracks on Young Money Radio?

Lil Wayne & Nicki Minaj Fans Debate Sales Predictions For Upcoming Albums

October 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Young Money fans are eating in 2023. With the release of For All The Dogs, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne are now gearing up for their respective bodies of work. However, Nicki’s Pink Friday 2 was already set to drop on November 17th when Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz announced the release date for Welcome 2 Collegrove, which will drop on the same day. Needless to say, it feels like it’s already a first-week sales showdown between the mentor and the mentee.

Already, their respective fanbases are debating who will emerge with the higher first-week sales. For the most part, many of the Barbz feel a type of way about Lil Wayne dropping on the same day as the artist that he signed. Many pointed out that it seemed odd that Lil Wayne had put himself in a position to compete against Nicki Minaj rather than letting her shine. However, it doesn’t seem likely that Welcome 2 Collegrove will outsell Pink Friday 2, especially considering the success of the lead single, “Super Freaky Girl.”

How Much Did Queen & Collegrove Sell In The First Week?

While both of these projects are highly anticipated efforts in hip-hop as a whole, another reason why it seems likely that Nicki Minaj will outsell 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne is purely based on numbers. Nicki’s last album, Queen, moved 155K units in its first week in 2018, although she debuted at #2 behind Travis Scott’s Astroworld. Meanwhile, 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s ColleGrove moved 53,000 units in its first week in 2016 including 34,000 from pure sales.

Unfortunately, it’s too early for any formal predictions of what each album will sell. Regardless, it’ll be a great day for hip-hop fans. In the past few weeks, both Wayne and Nicki have unloaded new singles. Weezy unveiled Tha Fix Before Tha VI while Nicki Minaj recently delivered “For All The Barbz,” a remix to Drake and Chief Keef’s “All The Parties.” Which album will you be checking out first on November 17th? Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz’s Welcome 2 ColleGrove 2 or Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2? Sound off in the comments below.
