Mike Zombie, who is in-house producer for Drake’s label OVO Sound and who previously worked with Lil Wayne, The Game, DJ Khaled, Jhené Aiko, Waka Flocka Flame, Young M.A and more, has recently named Eminem and Lil Wayne as his favorite artists.
Mike Zombie produced Drake’s one of the biggest hits “Started From The Bottom” back in 2013. In 2015, he worked with our boy Westside Boogie on a track “The Reach (Intro)” and most recently, he contributed into the production of Eminem’s “These Demons,” featuring MAJ.
Willingboro Township, New Jersey-born producer was recently asked on Instagram to name his Top 3 artists on which he replied: “Me, Eminem and Lil Wayne.” Check the screenshot below:
Justin Bieber has recently hit DJ Khaled at his podcast on Amazon Music where the pop megastar from Canada was asked to name his top five emcees of all time. Here is what Justin replied:
“When you open this conversation there is always room for ‘ahh I can’t believe this’ but I would say Lil Wayne, I would say Biggie. I just watched his documentary and I was like ‘oh my goodness.’ I will say Eminem, Kanye West and Drizzy Drake.”
When Justin mentioned Eminem, DJ Khaled commented: “For sure, for sure. That’s another big one. Shout out to Eminem.”
During a recent interview with Big Facts, one of the newest hitmakers of the game, Jack Harlow listed his biggest influences in rap and revealed he has one song coming with one of them.
“My rap influences are Drake, Andre 300, Lil Wayne, Eminem and Jay Z. I only got the chance to work with Wayne and one other is coming right up. One of them I just listed. It’s an exclusive but we can’t say it.” says Jack Harlow.
We think it’s Drake but could it be Eminem? Tell us your opinions in the comments of our social media accounts.

While speaking to Ebro Darden on Apple Music’s Beats 1, Royce Da 5’9″ tried to explain what is systematic racism to Lil Wayne.
“Lil Wayne, I heard come out of his mouth in an interview that racism does not exist. Being famous early for a Black person is crippling. My brother, you are going to jail for the second time. The first time you went to prison, you went for a gun that was not even on you. That is racism, Lil Wayne.” said Royce.
Watch the interview below:
Back in 2016, Lil Wayne sat down with ABC’s “Nightline” where he talked about Black Lives Matter movement.
“I do not know that you put a name on it. It is not a name, it is not ‘whatever, whatever,’ it is somebody got shot by a policeman for a f**ked up reason. I am a young, black, rich motherf**ker. If that do not let you know that America understand. I do not feel connected to a damn thing that ain’t got nothing to do with me. I am connected to this flag. I am a gangbanger ma’am.” said Weezy.
Yesterday, Eminem dropped the deluxe edition of Music To Be Murdered By: Side B and the album includes a song “Favorite B**ch,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, produced by Eminem, MjNichols and Blacknailz.
In the song, Eminem gives super shout out to J. Cole and Lil Wayne:
“As the era whence we came From Nas to Pac, Rak’, Eric B. and Kane, But I know a few from this era that are lyrically insane, And although most are never gonna hit the level Cole or Weezy at”
Eminem does not think that the level of J. Cole or Lil Wayne is easily reachable since the new generation have chosen a different direction, and the rap-mentality of Cole or Weezy are totally different from what it is nowadays.
The Game drops brand new single called “A.I. With The Braids” featuring Lil Wayne. This track was supposed to be for The Game’s 2019 album titled “Born 2 Rap” which celebrates 1 year anniversary tomorrow.
The song was produced by Mike Zombie and it samples The Notorious B.I.G.’s two songs: “Dead Wrong” and “Get Money“. Because the track was surfaced online last year, it didn’t make in to the album but now it is officially released.
In a song, The Game raps: “Stop it, the Tommy got more power than Kanan. They wanna know what I whispered in 50’s ear “G-Unit, motherf**ker, the real Ghost is here.”
Now lets decode the lyrics. With this lines, Game addresses his bond with 50 Cent while name-dropping 3 of Power TV shows’ main characters: James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) and Kanan Stark (50 Cent). TV series which is executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and airs on Starz network.
In the TV series, the story is developed behind the life of a character Ghost who runs the drugs traffic in New York city with the help of his right hand character Tommy. Both Tommy and Ghost grew up with Kanan who is considered their mentor.
The Game cleverly references Tommy and Kanan to claim that even though he was considered 50 Cent’s protegee, he has much more power and influence than his mentor by comparing himself to Ghost.
Back in 2005, The Game was expelled from G-Unit group and started a 13 year long beef with 50 Cent which led to countless diss tracks and actual shootouts in the streets. But in 2018 they finally squashed they’re feud at 50 Cent’s party where The Game was caught talking to Fifty’s ear.

Hot Boy Turk has recently went live on Instagram to make sure that nobody comes close to Lil Wayne’s album catalog, including heavy hitters like Jay Z, Eminem and Busta Rhymes. Turk says:
“I put up my little brother Lil Wayne against any one of you ni**as. Old school, new school, whatever school. None of your catalog can f**k with Wayne. Period. Lil Wayne against any one of you ni**as. Jay Z, T.I., The Game, Busta Rhymes, Eminem. Ni**a whoever!”
Turk even went further and said that they can’t win against Lil Wayne even if they were all together. You can watch the video below:
Royce Da 5’9 has always been naming Lil Wayne as one of the Top 5 rappers alive but couple of days ago Cash Money legend surprised some of his fans and his peers by endorsing the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Few days ago, Weezy shared a photo of himself and Donald Trump in front of an American flag, on which Royce 5’9″ couldn’t help himself but address it on Instagram.
Royce re-shared the photo of Wayne and Trump and made it very clear that he misses old Lil Tunechi by quoting one of the lines from one of his biggest hits “6 Foot 7 Foot,” off Tha Carter IV (2011).
“This is not the Iconic Genius that said ‘B**ch, real G’s move in silence like lasagna’. Nope. I rebuke you, Satan … Stay away from our GOATS.. And Wayne would have NEVER worn a shirt to the White House.”
