Hours before Lil Wayne dropped his thirteenth studio album, Funeral, his in-depth interview with Drink Champs debuted on TIDAL. Among the insights that came from the rare two-hour conversation was the revelation that Wayne has no idea what’s happening in rap music right now.
Wayne admitted that he once confused 21 Savage for a group, didn’t immediately recognize what either TDE or Quality Control Music were, and had no idea that Kanye West has been traveling the world for the past year doing religious Sunday Service sessions. Doubling down on past comments that the only rap music he listens to is his own work, Wayne also explained that he’s still so busy recording new music that he doesn’t have time to keep up with everything else that’s happening in the genre.
