With his debut album, Hy!£UN3, still in the works, the Slim Season rapper continues to make headlines. During a quick sit-down with GQ Magazine, Thugga Thugga decided about his varsity quarterback days in Atlanta, linking up with Birdman at Ca$h Money Records, his love for Lil Wayne and much more.
Take a look at some excerpts from the interview down at the bottom.
Why’d you decide to connect with Birdman and Cash Money Records?
Because my whole life I looked up to them. I wanted to stunt like Birdman, which I fucking am. And I wanted to be like Wayne.
Plain and simple: Did you try to have Lil Wayne killed?
Fuck no.
Does it bother you that Wayne, one of your idols, clearly has a personal problem with you?
Maybe if I was a peasant it would. But of course it bothers me some, because that’s what I always wanted. It was so weird: I always wanted to be in the studio with Wayne. I would tell Birdman to bring him over, but he never fucking came.
The first time I saw you perform was five years ago…
That was when I was Wayne. And he’s me now.
What do you mean?
I feel like if he had the chance to be himself or me, he’d be me. If I had the chance to be myself or him, I’d be him. That man is the greatest. If we had the biggest problem in the world, I’d still say he’s the best rapper in the fucking world. Everybody knows nobody raps better than the fucking boss.
