Lil Wayne & Tyga Reveal Which Artists Inspire Their Unstoppable Work Ethic

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne recently welcomed Tyga as the latest special guest on Young Money Radio on Apple Music, and they had a pretty great conversation. Moreover, the two hitmakers discussed the latter’s new collab album with YG, their current day-to-day, next moves, and what inspires them artistically. Particularly, they talked about what motivates their work ethic and the figures that taught them to constantly nurture their craft in the studio. Of course, there are probably plenty of names that popped into your head when considering this question for this duo. But if you’re a hip-hop head that knows each of their career trajectories, then there are two names that really stand out that you’d be right in assuming.

Furthermore, Lil Wayne and Tyga thanked Birdman and his brother Slim of Cash Money Records for their tutelage. For example, the former explained how their constant grind inspired him to regularly hit the studio up, even amid tours or other commitments. The California MC shared a similar sentiment, agreeing that they definitely showed him the way towards success with their dedication. Perhaps most importantly, both rappers emphasized how their love of music is what fuels much of this determination.

Lil Wayne & Tyga’s Convo On Young Money Radio: Watch

The segment on work ethic & Cash Money begins at around the 8-minute mark.

Elsewhere, Lil Wayne and Tyga also touched upon the phenomenon of artists falling out of love with their music or craft. This is something that they don’t want to fall into, since it not only hampers their success, but it also makes that success less fulfilling when it’s for something you don’t really care about. In particular, Weezy seemed to refer to André 3000’s comments on rapping at age 40, although he didn’t seem to name-drop the Outkast legend in his remarks. Regardless, the message definitely came across.

Meanwhile, this duo also addressed how you need the right atmosphere around you to do well in your career. That’s probably why they make solid collab albums, like Tunechi’s Welcome 2 ColleGrove with 2 Chainz: they know who to link with. It was also heartening to see him give the 34-year-old props for his hard work in the studio, as you can tell the legacy that inspired them had a profound impact to this day.

Terence Crawford Compliments Jake and Logan Paul to Lil Wayne: ‘I Look at Jake and Logan as Real Boxers’

Young Money Radio returns with an exclusive interview featuring Lil Wayne and Lineal Lightweight Champion, Terence Crawford. Known as the 2014 Fighter of the Year, Crawford delves into his illustrious boxing career and shares insights into his pre-fight mindset.

The conversation between Lil Wayne and Crawford extends beyond the boxing ring, touching on strategies to attract more attention to the sport. They explore the intersection of music and boxing, with Crawford revealing the musical influences that help him focus and prepare for his matches.

Among topics were the Paul brothers who have taken on combat sports in boxing and WWE. Crawford says he views the two as boxers.

“I look at Jake Paul and Logan Paul as real fighters,” Crawford said. Real boxers. For the purpose being how long they’ve been doing. They started doing the backyard brawls with the gloves on years ago. A lot of people probably don’t even know that. That was when they was doing the little YouTube stuff. Then they start training. Getting serious, training with serious boxers. So I look at them as real fighters. But the sport of boxing, it just needs more eyes on it.”

As far as his music choices, Crawford says: “I have some Lil Wayne, I have some Anita Baker, I have some Kirk Franklin, I have some jazz, I have a little country. It just variety. I just put everything in one, and it just-Because I might get up and I might be hyped on a song, but I like to be mellow. Save all the energy for the fight. Then Anita Baker come on, and then I’m just sitting there, I’m just in the zone.”

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?

“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?
