Hey, it's Lil Skies.
I'm taking the Genius test to find out how much I know about Lil Wayne.
Let's go.
I’m taking the quiz because Wayne's the GOAT.
I mean, Lil Wayne has inspired me and my music by just wanting to be myself.
That's one thing about Wayne.
He was like his own gangster.
Nobody could really fuck with him.
I remember.
I know people remember this.
There was a point in time when he was literally on everybody's song, and that's when I was
like, "Damn, this is dope.
He's stepping out."
He even did a rock album.
Like, what the fuck?
Come on, now.
I think I'm gonna do all right.
I don't know.
Kind of scared.
Birdman.
It was Birdman.
He collabed with Birdman.
I just love them.
I love how they move, and you can tell Birdman was top dog.
He was like Wayne's father type shit.
Even with all of that stuff that happened, he's still like Wayne's father.
They still talk and shit, I think, so it's all love.
Like lasagna.
Real G's move in silence like lasagna.
People say I'm borderline, crazy sorta kinda.
Woman of my dreams, I don't sleep, so I can't find her.
Yeah.
He’s one of them artists who continues to surprise you.
You would think you done heard it all?
Nah, he's still got something up his sleeve.
A, the Hot Boyz.
Yes!
I loved it.
I loved the look.
I even loved the look.
The braids with the bandana, I remember that Wayne, like when he had… when he was 18,
braids with the bandana.
Shit, before the dreads, before the teeth.
Debut album?
“Tha Carter.”
You said, "The Block is Hot"?
That was his first album?
I thought that was a mixtape.
Damn.
That's crazy.
I thought that was a mixtape that whole time.
That's my fault, then.
I guess I was ... You know what I mean?
I guess I was lost in the sauce a little bit.
Yung Joc.
Yeah, for sure.
Yung Joc.
That was random.
Out of all the verses on “Bedrock.”
I liked Tyga's verse a lot, I liked Drake's verse a lot, I liked Mac Mane's verse a lot.
Yeah.
Nicki.
"Okay, I get it.
It's time to put this pussy on your sideburns."
She snapped.
Yeah.
This one, "Knock Out" is with "Rebirth".
I know that because that song, I think with him and Nicki or Chanel or whoever.
But that shit's super dope.
Oh y’all might get me.
You might get me.
"Fireman" was ... Number two.
That's definitely on "Tha Carter 2".
"Get Off the Corner" is definitely this one, "Lights Out".
Okay.
"Mr. Carter"
….I got em all right!
Yup.
Told y’all.
Stop fuckin’ playing with me.
That way.
Got ‘em all right.
DJ Whoo Kid.
Is it?
No?
I don't know.
It's been a little minute since I, you know what I mean, listened to them.
So yeah, I need a little refresher.
12.
I started rapping when I was ... I recorded my first song when I was four.
Maybe I was five.
Four or five.
Was it Mannie Fresh?
Yeah.
“Fre-eh-eh-eh-eh-Fresh.
Go DJ!
That my DJ!
Yeah!
He's fire.
He's super talented, super unique.
Him and Wayne, they went hand in hand together.
That's dope.
I felt like he knew kind of Wayne's sound, and he knew how to get Wayne to step out of
his comfort zone, too, which is dope.
“Soldier.”
I remember that.
That was super classic, super hard, super dope.
Damn, I miss them times in hip-hop.
I'm so glad you reminded me.
I'm about to go download all of this shit after this, just so I could... ‘cause this
was my shit.
I don't know.
All of them kind of sound like ... I don't think I heard that one, to be honest, then.
The second one?
“Free Weezy”?
I didn’t know he did that.
I'm slacking.
I don’t think I heard that one.
On Tidal?
Because you know Tidal.
I honestly don't know how many kids really go to Tidal.
Literally, when I did my Tidal event in New York, I'm surprised them motherfuckers even
showed up.
No disrespect to Tidal.
I fuck with Roc Nation.
I'm with them and shit, too.
Shout out Roc Nation.
Fuck.
You said Lil Wayne and Drake songs?
I'm mad, because literally I have the biggest brain fart.
I can't even think of one fucking song.
Yeah.
“The Motto” shit. That.
Bro, I fucked up.
Okay, that's dope.
That's cool.
That's all right.
I know more, Wayne.
I think I know a lot that a lot of people don't.
So don’t let them… you know, if you still wanna fuck with me, if you still wanna do
some shit, let's do it.
Man, I'm ready.
I'm ready.
A lot of people became fans off Wayne, too, off of the mixtapes, and then that's how they
started getting introduced to his albums and shit.
Because he'll snap.
He gets on other people's beats and literally make a whole fucking hit out of their song.
I wanna just be like, "He snapped.
How the fuck did he get on the song and kill me on this shit?
Like, what the fuck?"
