Big Sean’s reaction to Lil Wayne selling just under 1 million copies of C4 in the first week.
Weezy recently spoke on the obvious similarities between his Polow Da Don-produced song, “John,” and Ross’s track, “I’m Not A Star.”
“We heard the beat, and I was fresh out of jail, you know, so I ain’t really know new music—no new music,” Wayne told XXL. “I ain’t really know about nothing, so, we heard the beat, and when it came on, Mack Maine—it just made Mack say that Rick Ross line. Mack just said that ‘I’m not a star, somebody lied, I got a chopper in the car.’ He’s like ‘that beat sounds just like that.’ And I was like ‘does it sound so much like it to where I shouldn’t do it?’ And he was like ‘nah, cause that bitch still hard as fuck.’ So, I did it and I was like ‘I need a hook.’”
Weezy thought it was appropriate to include Rozay on the record. He called The Bawse and gave his friend two options. Wayne told Ross that he preferred a chorus that used lines from “I’m Not A Star,” however, Ross was also free to make a completely fresh hook.
“He could have just put a hook on there,” Wayne said. “He could have said something else, but he did what we wanted it to be, and I just added the other part.”
Weezy F Baby has broken another record this week, this time for being nominated 19 times at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards! Young Money’s Nicki Minaj and Drake are also nominated for a few awards too, which is a great look for the YMCMB family. This years show will be hosted by Mike Epps and take place at the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center in Atlanta on October 1st, and air on October 11th at 8PM EST.
