Today, Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V was supposed to FINALLY be released, over 3 years and many delays since the fourth installment in the now-classic series, but unfortunately, that’s not happening…and may not for a while. On Thursday afternoon, the normally private Tunechi took to Twitter to air out Cash Money’s dirty laundry, and revealed that not only is he beefing with Birdman, but that C5 is the reason behind it, so it likely won’t see the light of day until he’s out of his deal. And if you know anything about how contracts and their legalities work – this could take forever!
So, while we mourn the delay of C5, XXL caught up with 9 rappers and producers to take a walk down memory lane in Weezyville. Check out Jadakiss, Meek Mill, Lloyd Banks and more below as they pick their favorite Lil Wayne cut of all time.
As for me, I have to go with his “UOENO” freestyle from 2013’s Dedication 5. I’ve been following Wayne’s career since 2005, but this one has just stuck out to me as my fav to sing along to! Let us know what your favorite Weezy song is in the comments!

Jadakiss
I like mixtape Weezy on Da Drought Is Over 2 mixtape, “What He Does.” That nigga said, “If I ever have twins, I’ll name them bright and early.”
Lloyd Banks
He’s got a lot of material. The joint he has with Babyface was one of my favorites. I think it was “Comfortable.” Don’t get too comfortable. It was on I think the last Carter. That record was dope. There’s a lot of records that I like from him but that particular one with Babyface was my favorite.
Meek Mill
My favorite Lil Wayne song is a Lil Wayne’s freestyle for Mr. Jones. That’s my favorite one. I don’t know [why]. I think I was playing that song for two or three years straight. And let me get this straight, make sure you put this in. My top three right now is Jay Z, Lil Wayne and then Drake. And Meek Mill got plans of coming up in that top three very soon. And me, I’m not like a guy to just put myself at No. 1, like I’m better than everybody. I think these guys are truly ahead of me right now. I always loved their music. They’re my top three, in that order right there, too. I got big plans of coming up in that top three real soon.
