Tyga praise Lil Wayne for his work ethic over the years.
Tyga recently made an appearance on Lil Wayne’s Young Money Radio Show on Apple Music, where the two discussed longevity, and Tyga credits Weezy for inspiring his work ethic.
“Staying in the studio,” Tyga said. “I feel like watching you, that was the first time that, like you said, I had ever been on tour, on a tour bus or anything like that really moving around. And to have so much going on, have success going on, shooting videos, but wherever we was at you would make sure like, ‘We’re going to the studio today.’ Alright we got a show, we in Buffalo tonight. You gon’ get off stage, you gon’ rock 20,000 people and we got the studio right after.”
He continued, “And if you can’t go to the studio, we got the studio bus. So it was just more like the work ethic I feel like and just staying consistent and staying obsessed with it and loving it. I feel like a lot of people fall out of love with it and that’s why muthaf–kas fall off or people just aren’t consistent or not as tapped in. It ain’t even about for the money, it’s the love.”
When Wayne was asked about his secret of longevity, he credited his Birdman. “What’s interesting about what you saying about the love… I get it from two people that’s not rappers,” Wayne said. “I get it from Slim and Baby. Studio every day. Slim ain’t about to rap a bar. Baby ’bout to come in and try when he feel like it, and nine times out of 10, he ’bout to ask one of us, ‘Man write this, write this.’ He gon’ switch a few words to say it how he wanna say it. So with that said, I used to always sit back and ask myself like..”
“‘Cause they wasn’t setting studio time up just for the artist to be there. They there. All 1,000 hours we there, they there. So I used to sit back and be like, ‘What the hell?’ It was more so Slim. I used to be like, ‘Why is Slim here so much?’ ‘Cause we here writing. He wanna hear the verse when you finish, right before you go in.”
He continued, “He wanna hear like, ‘What you got, Wayne?’ Like a coach… So I was like, that’s simply that they love it. They love it that much because if they didn’t, they wouldn’t care about what we was saying… That’s where I get that shit from. I’m glad you got that sh-t from me.”
