During his interview with Rap Radar, Lil Wayne sat down to discuss the differences between southern and east coast rappers with 2 Chainz. He also went in to how the record label he started on, Cash Money, had him and his artists record their songs and the “approval” they had to go through before being done writing a verse, during the classic Hot Boys era.
“Baby and Slim was the captains. What would happen is they would give us a title and a subject and everyone would go off. Mannie would go make a beat and you would rap your part to Baby and Slim once you finish. They would dissect the song from there. So you would know whoever they think is the hottest, they putting that verse verse first and whoever they think is the next hottest verse, they putting that verse last. So you always wanted to be first or last..if you go back and listen, I was always first or last.”
