Lil Wayne shared his thoughts about the Total Slaughter rap battle event that went down in New York last week, in which Joe Budden battled (and lost) against Hollow Da Don. Weezy paid his respects to all that participate in battle rap, calling it a “cool sport,” but was also the first to admit he would never be able to battle successfully. Strange coming from Weezy, after he announced he’d be “battling” Drake during their current tour together. [Missinfo]
Juicy J released a remix of Rae Sremmurd‘s viral Mike WiLL Made It–produced single “No Flex Zone.” The veteran Memphis rapper blessed the track with his unmistakable charisma, spitting simple, witty one-liners like, “I’m on that ass like bumper stickers.” Perhaps not as lyrical as Nicki Minaj‘s remix, but extremely entertaining nevertheless. Juicy J’s fourth studio album Pure THC: The Hustle Continues will be released in September. [Rap-Up]
