Lil Wayne has put together a full 7-on-7 fantasy team comprised of Hip Hop stars, and Eminem is holding it down as the quarterback.
While talking with NFL star Travis Hunter on his eponymous podcast, a jovial Weezy thought long and hard about how he’d populate his team.
First up he had JAY-Z, noting, “I don’t know if he’s the coach or something, but he a veteran.”
He continued: “Then we need a proven superstar, and that would be my man Drizzy [Drake]. He could play both sides of the ball, he could sing and rap.
“Now we need somebody that could move so we going with…they gotta rap right?” he asked, before pivoting while he thought longer about that.
“This ain’t the mover, but I’m going with Kiss,” he said. “I think you see Kiss in that backfield and get scared.
“Found the mover, you probably thought I meant [a dancer] but I’ma fuck you up. Turn around and shake that ass for ’em – Nicki! Now we need some toughness. Do they have to be alive? I’m going with Biggie. Then this that wild card. I’m going with J. Cole. He gon’ keep the ship steady when we got the hot heads tripping.”
And finally, why he chose Em: “No race shit, but you gotta have a nice white boy as quarterback. I’m sorry. He could also be the kicker, you never know!”
He also has a backup player: “It was hard to leave Missy [Elliott] off my list. It was very hard so if I got a bench, then Missy on the bench. Missy coming in as my emergency player because she can do everything. She can sing dance and rap. And produce.”
The convo starts just after the 21-minite mark below.
She added: “Sometimes it’s hard to run into a real one in this business but when you do DON’T LET THEM GO A huge hug will let them know you appreciate them & their contributions to the CULTURE! Thank You @LilTunechi.”
Weezy named Missy in the No. 1 slot of his top five rappers when rattling off his list on the What’s Wright? With Nick Wright podcast in the past as well.
“It’s always gonna be first Missy Elliott,” he said. “She’s a huge influence of everything I’ve ever done. JAY-Z is the best ever to speak. Biggie, obviously. Then I have the whole Goodie Mob. Then I have UGK.”
Weezy has also previously credited Missy with inspiring him to start using ad-libs on tracks.
MGK has unveiled his high energy new single “Fix Ur Face” featuring Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
The intense collaboration sees the rapper turned rocker dive deeper into the hard hitting sound he has been refining over the past few years.
Fusing the raw edge of 90s nu metal with Machine Gun Kelly’s modern alternative style, the track stands out as one of his most aggressive releases so far.
The song dropped alongside a bold black and white video, which premiered across MTV Live, MTVU, and the Paramount Times Square billboards.
Directed by frequent collaborator Sam Cahill, the visual was shot in several cities during mgk’s lost americana tour, including Berlin, Dublin, Düsseldorf, London, Prague, Cologne, Nashville and Los Angeles. It highlights the intensity and intimacy of touring, from packed venues and sweat drenched crowds to the blurred line between performer and fans.
The track was created with his close knit creative team, including SlimXX, BazeXX, RookXX, Nick Long, and No Love For The Middle Child, giving it a gritty and multi generational energy that sets it apart from today’s mainstream rock and rap.
Durst brings a high powered performance, channeling the same raw intensity that shaped Limp Bizkit’s early era.
The video’s look was further developed by street artists Lugosis and Strato, who painted a large mural in Berlin, while Slawn Olaolu designed the character face and jackets featured throughout the clip, adding a distinct DIY feel.
MGK first previewed “Fix Ur Face” during the European run of the lost americana tour, then later shared a snippet during shows in Australia, building strong anticipation among fans.
His relationship with Durst stretches back over a decade, with the two having performed together on multiple occasions, including mgk’s 2014 tour alongside Limp Bizkit.
The lost americana tour is now set to return to the United States, resuming on May 15 with Wiz Khalifa joining as support.
