The Lil Wayne Episode

The Lil Wayne Episode

We got Wayne. The original, the godfather of everything we listen to, the ultimate intersection of lyricism and swag, one of the best rappers of all time no question. We’ve been waiting for this day so long we don’t even know what’s gonna happen, Benny's body might disintegrate. We have so many questions for this man. What was it like getting signed by Cash Money at age 11? Was Wayne the first Lil? Or at least the first big Lil? How did he record songs in jail, just, logistically? How did he discover Drake, what are the details behind that story? Does he ever feel like the chosen one? Who eats less healthy, Dave or Wayne? Why is the Sixth Sense his favorite movie of all time? What’s the real truth about ancient aliens? And why can't he look at milk? As a bonus we discuss best practices for crowdsurfing and Benny tells us about the time he was hospitalized by Eric Andre. Thanks for watching us hang out with Lil Wayne and Lil Twist. We respect you!
